Replying To eddieSize5Balls: "Real silly response to a straightforward question from Jim. Could easily get a ban but hopefully not but at the very least don't act that way after a great win" This is a total nonsense. It's nothing compared to Ger Brennan and every man was on the pitch. What did he do. Poke a lad in the chest?
Such salty comments online and by media like new talk and balls.ie trying to build this into a story. I guess the whole country hates him and Donegal. I don't care. Siege mentality.
We just went to the kingdom and hammered them.
If GAA try and ban Jim for nothing , fight it with everything.

Replying To eoinog: "Kerry supporters really let themselves down today.
They were constantly booing Murphy.
Is that the best they could come up with and get hammered in their own back garden." I'd be more concerned that there were droves of them leaving with ten minutes to go. A serious lack of respect to their own All Ireland winning team on home soil.
Paidí had a point.

Jesus Meath were awful in the second half. How can you not at least work a short kickout with an extra man.

Replying To Seniorleague: "Should Murphy have even been allowed to play yesterday? After his behaviour in the league final.
Serious question.
I think he should have been given a lengthy ban." Jesus wept, do you not understand the GAA disciplinary process ? Michael received a yellow card in the league final, that was the sanction, it couldn't be revisited. Now David Clifford's elbow in the face of Brendan McCole is considered a serious infraction and his action will be looked at as he received no card in the game. He could be looking at a ban of at least two matches.

Replying To MunsterFan: "You know there's an excuse for being a bad loser but never one for being a bad winner. Great men for rubbing salt in the wounds. You did well today, our bench didn't react well when we went down a man, but 15 v 15 was a good contest, and we have a lot of players due back who are starters. Those are simply facts, not excuses" Kerry were the epitome of bad losers yesterday.

Leitrim GAA thread - 2 Like(s)
Good win last night, well done to the Leitrim lads. Looked ominous when we were 5 down halfway through the first half, it looked like Carlow would build up a big lead, backed by the strong wind. However we got to grips with them from there on keeping possession and got a few scores to keep us well in touch at halftime. We kicked on with the breeze with some great two pointers early in second half , a freak Carlow goal from a wicked bounce from a great Mark Diffley block threatened to spoil our momentum but we pushed on again and were well worth our 6 point win in the end. Everyone played a vital part but Killian Gaffey was solid in goal ,was unlucky with the wicked bounce for the goal and kicked his frees well. Defensively we were struggling a bit early on but tightened up significantly as the game went on, Eoin Mc loughlin and Keith Keegan played stormers Conor Quinn won a world of ball at midfield and up front Paul Honeyman was outstanding backed up well by Ryan and Riordan O'Rourke and the other forwards played their part too. Hopefully we can get a home draw in next round and hopefully it's a 2 week break until our next outing so we might get some of our injured lads back.

Brilliant result and to do it without Barry and Tom is all the more impressive, Poacher and his backroom team deserve great credit, they have transformed the mood in the county and every player has improved that is the sign of a proper good coach. Honeymoon has all the attributes to be a serious intercounty forward. Squidgy is county player of the year for me. Up Leitrim.

Replying To Fionn: "Ger Brennan received a 12-week ban. Let us see the GAA's consistency in dealing with the Donegal & Kerry benches, considering their involvement in that half-time on pitch brawl after the hooter sounded.
The GAA were hard enough on Ger….!
As for the actions of some of the players - suspensions pending…!
That was a nasty cut McHugh got." If any of the management team went after someone physically, then they absolutely should get the same ban. If they didn't then it's a different story.

Replying To Tadhg2020: "We will have to agree to disagree on that. I think that we have a quality all ireland championship as it is. Yes it could do with a tweak or 2 but the best teams win through and that's what counts.
Atm we have a competitive league. Some really exciting and competitive championship football in 3 of the 4 provincial championships and all the crowds, colour and celebrations that go with that( and Cork are improving all the time too) and an all ireland series to look forward to with some big results in already. A home seeding and easy passage didnt assist Kerry today, for example, but only a fool would write them off even if they are in knock out territory now. There, actually, isnt a whole lot wrong with it. A bit of perspective is required. Why take a sledge hammer to crack a nut. Thats illogical." I think we have different views on the current standing of the provincials.
I'd point to Donegal and wonder were they that disappointed about being knocked out early in Ulster.
Given the time constraints the All Ireland is fine and your suggestion would improve it.
I still think though if we look back a few years ago there was a criticism around the season doesn't get started really until late in the calendar and it hasn't improved much. The tier 2 is an improvement in getting teams playing more at their level but I just think it could go farther if there were proper promotion and relegation between tiers rather than the current messy 3 pronged approach to top tier qualification.

Trains run from Kildare/Portlaoise through the Phoenix Park Tunnel, stopping at Drumcondra, Connolly, Tara Street, Pearse, and Grand Canal Dock.
The 757-yard Phoenix Park Tunnel runs beneath the park, linking Heuston Station's lines to the Dublin-Sligo line near Glasnevin. It only accommodates Monday-to-Friday commuter trains operating between Portlaoise, Newbridge/Hazelhatch, and Grand Canal Dock, bypassing Heuston Station to serve the city center.
Dublin Stations:
Hazelhatch through Phoenix Park Tunnel, stopping at Drumcondra, Connolly, Tara Street, Pearse, and Grand Canal Dock. Doesn't operate as far as I can see on weekends.

Replying To legendzxix: "Round 1 - 2025 away wins: Tyrone over Donegal, Dublin over Galway and Cavan over Mayo. Wounded animals after provincial knockout are dangerous. The extra time to prepare and being able to scout finals in full knowledge of the next opponent is a bizarre reward for provincial knockout. Today's result in Killarney was no surprise. I was saying during the club championships that there were going to be a few counties in contention. While the vast majority disagreed at the time, that's not the case now." You can't have the whole championships tailor made to suit your team I guess.

Replying To WanPintWin: "Galway had 45 shots to Dublin's 27. Not to mention we handed them an own goal. I'm not sure how Dublin could have won by more. They only had 3 wides in the entire game. The pretty much maxed out as well as a team could, whereas we were very wasteful.
Massive improvement needed for the Wexford game." There's a trend there the last few years with the Dubs. They work really hard, and are an athletic team. We havent beaten them since 2018 but have outshot them by over 70 shots In that time. We lost to them in Croke Park in 2023 despite having more than double their shots afair.
The only team they have consistently struggled with in that time are Kilkenny, and what is their trademark calling card? Massive workrate and intensity......
