Replying To S1234: "Well done on your all Ireland......" "Well done on your All Ireland! What a fool you are. Beaten comprehesively last Sunday. The vast majority of Roscommon supporters humble and understandably delighted with the result. But it wasn't the All Ireland. It was a Connacht semi final fyi and just another step for an opportunity to win a Connacht title against a fine Galway side. Ye got bate fair and square. Suck it up. We've got trimmings from ye the last decade or so in your golden age. Don't be so childish when now the shoe is on the other foot. For us we've only a fifty fifty chance of success in on the final. Maybe less, but the lads will work hard and remain humble. It's just a game bud! Less of the sour grapes.

We are 7/2 with the bookies and their punters. No doubt have taken the fixture scheduled advantage our neighbours have however should we get close to matching our Seniors shooting efficiency from last Sunday then we'll have a right good chance of upsetting those odds once again.
The best of luck to Cian Smith and his young Rossies in Tuam tomorrow night.

Replying To Seanfan: "15,321.
€35 for stand with no child/student/OAP prices.
Probably €45 for the Final." Suppose over 15k isn't to bad of an attendance for a semi. Dont think either of the lenister semis this week will get near that to be fair. There seam to be a lot of Roscommon supporters in the terraces. Probably the best supported county in the country per population. Fair play the rossies. I hope yous win the final now. But looked dreadful the main stand in front of the tv half empty. The councils and the GAA in a whole have dreadful marketing.

Replying To veterngaa: "The fair weather supporters! Only out about when their is hint of success. That's the Donegal way. Azzuri jerseys. Think I heard some supporters wonder what the new rules were lol" Cop yourself on. You probably didnt attend many of the Monaghan games this year, because if you did, you would know all about fair weather fans. Outnumbered 10 to 1 by Donegal fans in our own home in Clones for the final game of the league. Embarrassing it was. I suspect you dont attend that many of the United Parishes games either, judging by your knowledge of the Monaghan GAA scene.

Last game of the league, in Clones. We were assured of a league final and had a long trip to Croker the following week.
YET, we out numbered the Monaghan home 'support' by 3 to 1.
Riddle me that one?

Let the provincial comps go ahead and we have 4 winners who can bask in their glory.Then an open 32 county draw for the Sam Maguire-you get who you get and maybe we could see Kerry heading to Leitrim or Armagh down to Carlow or 2 so called big guns going out in first round.It cant be an all Ireland if all Ireland are not included.Forget about tailteann cups etc and the whoever wins are all Ireland champs.

Majority of your posting on here over the years has been on the Longford thread than on here. Have you even posted during the league campaign on here, I don't recall any post yet now you are very excitable now and even on the Galway thread trying to get a rise out of them.

Replying To Galwayman67420: "what would a westmeath fan know about winning all Irelands. The new season is a marathon not a sprint" The size of your population and one All Ireland in 38 years, the ones ye won before that involved two matches so look after yourselves firstly. Not exactly Kilkenny, Cork or Tipp

Hurling Championship 2026 - 1 Like(s)
Tadhg2020 : "Every serious competition the world over has different levels."
Every serious competition in the world has a level playing field. Equal rules for each competitor. Merit based systems, you find your level and when relegated you take your medicine and try to get back up.
You don't see anybody in the Premier League saying "Spurs were in a champions league final a few years ago, we can't possibly relegate them and they sell out 50k every week".
You are talking out of about 3 different ends of your mouth, you are talking about the 6th team in Leinster diluting the competition and providing a safety net yet, yet you think the 5th team in Munster should have no risk of relegation or any punishment for coming last. But you deem it fine to relegate the 5th team in Leinster just because "well they should be relegated", why do you think it would be OK for Wexford or Offaly to be relegated yet Waterford have won 4 games in the round robin since it was brought in? Which is it?
You talk about Kildare making progress yet relegating them back to Joe McDonagh will do not one thing to develop them. Westmeath, Antrim, Laois, Carlow are testament to that. The gap just gets bigger when you are not playing them.
I'm not old enough to remember the 80s and early 90s when Tipp and Cork won every Munster title for 10 years, or when Waterford were terrible. The Munster championship is riding the crest of a wave (and well deserved) but look at the attendances just 10 years ago, it wasn't always so and it was knock-out back then.
Colin Ryan the former Clare hurler was on the Wexford Hurling Pod a while ago and said he'd love to see "people get out of their own head" and develop a game which was knock-out provincials and then may the best team win the All-Ireland from there. Rank the teams based on provincial if I recall.
I think what you really want is the "I'm alright jack, Munster hurling is great so let the counties trying to develop and grow the game go to hell" status quo.

Replying To The_analyser: "Of course we won't underestimate Galway. Oddball for a Longford man very excitable today.
On Eoin Ward he was a starter on the Roscommon U17 team that won Connacht title in 2020. C. Keogh,C. Neary, O. Cregg,C. Hand,E. Colleran was also on that U17 team
Ward was also part of the 2022,23 U20 Roscommon teams and he won the Sigerson cup with DCU last year" The only Longford part of me was spending 6 years of secondary school there. Can we not get excited after yesterdays performance? Or do we have to seek your permission???

Replying To seanie08: "Donegal will be fine this season. Said it weeks ago after seeing ye in league final. Ye couldn't repeat that intensity every match had to be a lull ye have got your lull and as a result play two less matches so should be fresh come all ireland first round. Id be suprised if donegal are not there or thereabouts winning whole thing by end of season." Whats your take on a potential Monaghan ambush of Derry?
A few people today at work were chatting about an Armagh v Derry Ulster final, and I said it could be a Down vs Monaghan final, but was met with silence and blank looks.

Replying To TheFlaker: "Depends on the draw. There's no team outside Donegal, Kerry and Armagh on their day that I would fear. Results last year and this year show that." Looking through green and red tinted glasses i feel..... Mayo havent got a great record against the dubs, galway, roscommon, derry, cork, roscommon, they usually scrape by Leitrim nut they do struggle with roscommon.

But looked dreadful the main stand in front of the tv half empty. The councils and the GAA in a whole have dreadful marketing." The Gaa hierarchy have being doing almost everything in their power whether wittingly or unwittingly to turn people off going to championship games this several years. The connacht council just increased student prices from €5 to €35 thats a 600% increase!!
Some teams are playing championship games two weekends in a row now that means families out huge money not to mention player welfare!! These games especially in good weather are beautiful family events where kids are the real winners and with new rules the quality of games are so good now but people are staying away and I don't blame them. The Gaa are driving our games onto paid subscription channels. The economical boost to a county town hosting a bumper championship game cannot be underestimated and the Gaa at local level does so much for the local economies but in the summer months when this should be at its peak its being eroded by very very poor decisions by GAA hierarchy. They could easily have intercepted in connacht to prevent a 600% hike in student prices just like they intercepted with high profile counties and clubs who massively overspent on vanity projects. Instead they continue to inflict maximum PR damage driving grassroots people away from the gates and eroding tradition under the guise of player welfare . Many people genuinely believe that the gaa are more concerned with concerts and other sports in Croke Park than actual gaa games and I am inclined to believe them. Its become a money mogul and the excuse is that all the money made filters down to clubs...Well every club in the country is self sufficient with v limited resources take note of this example Croke Park officials and RTE when you are at it.

Looking forward to a great Connacht final. Fair dues yesterday, that football ye played in the second half was a joy to watch and good stuff for any young aspiring players to be looking at. Keeper and backs on song. Forward and midfield dominance, sheer pace and fitness were impressive. Galway will honestly have to be at their absolute best to get anything here. Ros are well primed. Should be great craic and banter around the town there for the final. Hoping the maroon and white can rise to the challenge. See ye there.

Replying To Dheen: "Minor game vs Laois changed to 13.30 now, maybe the county board requested for it to be." A bit of a help but still giving Wexford and Kilkenny an unfair advantage. If i was the Westmeath manager i would be slow to start both halves. If they dont give us fair play why should we give them respect. The players need to know they are being disrespected and get inspiration from it.

Replying To Tacaí Liatroma: "To answer a couple of your points. Regarding the cost of tickets, I bought mine on Ticketmaster around 2.25 on the day of the game, believe it or not. I wasn't 100% sure of my exact plans. It cost €25 and it was for the terrace, with €30 for the "sideline" which I presume was the concrete seats. However I saw no-one checking tickets at the entrances to the concrete seats, so I could have gone on there if I wanted. I chose the shed instead. I didn't use the toilets but you're right, they should be in a reasonable state. And the tannoy was non-existent at the shed; we could just hear it from the stand. I didn't hear who the minute's silence was for at the start.
Was there a scoreboard on operation? I didn't see one. Maybe the camera tower was in the way. I never thought to look for it on the way out.
Fair play to the hurlers. Pity about those two defeats in the league doing for them, but they've now got a 100% record and they've beaten the team who beat them in the league.
And yes, there's some absolute drivel that's plagued this thread lately. I dunno what it is. I dunno what the other threads are like, and I know it's alright to have a bit of craic, but someone of the stuff here is of absolutely no quality, and there's one or two main offenders, thank you very much for agreeing. And lately it's turned into just attacking the Rossies and how they're the fourth or fifth best team in Connacht. The joke only goes so far." I agree with you.
