Replying To S1234:  "James Carr had a lot of injuries but he is missed . O Hora is a starter. Cillian still has plenty to offer scored 1/8 for his club in the last few weeks . Mcstays time is up . This loss is totally on management. How Rochford got back in is beyond me . he game a guy said to me he asked Rochford what's with the style of play and Rochford just stuck his two fingers up to him a disgrace Time for them to go."

A good performance against Tippeary and start preparation for 2026, Poacher can go to championship games and identify lads with potential to join the panel for 2026 he can talk to fellas that stepped away and see if they plan to come back in, he will have a proper pre season and he doesn't strike me as a fella that will be waiting around for the official date to go back training. We will be in a division were I think we can ve very competitive, the likes of Cox, Prior, McNulty, Guickan will be very hard watched at that level. 2025 was a bad year, we will draw a line thru it take the few positives and drive on hard for next year. It's not all doom and gloom.

Replying To katser:  "There is a sense of excitement building around the County and the importance of beating Dublin and carrying that momentum into the Leinster Final where as most people I've spoken too are saying when we get a crack at Kilkenny again we will beat them."
You need to stop talking to yourself.

A pathetic Trump like response to Barney. I would trust Barney's word any day compared to yours. We are proud of our Jonny Cassidy and deserves better than your demeaning comment as is the other Cassidy lad from Ederney. Shame on you! We all know your jealousy stems from have no love for our Ekn Gaels club going back years as you couldn't accept that some fine men from our club were the one's that shaped Fermanagh GAA and developed county facilities when others hadn't the ability!

Replying To FullOfPorter:  "Mayo just haven't been able to replace the likes of Keegan, Barrett, Higgins and Boyle. Durcan and O'Connor have had injury troubles and are in the twighlight of their careers. That's 6 colossal players and the spine of a brilliant team in their prime. The management ticket looked liked too many chiefs at the begining and maybe that's how it played out. Wasn't a great sign when McHale parted ways as him and Kevin would have always worked well together."
Higgins and Boyle last stopped being starters in 2019. Barrett last started in 2020. James Horan put together a much changed team in 2020 and 2021 and got us two Connacht titles and two all Ireland final appearances. As I said on here a few weeks ago, not one established player has kicked on to a new level under this management team but several have gone the other direction. While any new players brought through have largely stagnated or regressed. Whether we have the players to win an All Ireland is unlikely but that doesn't alter the fact that we are seriously underperforming at the moment.

Replying To foreveryoung:  "Are you all fearful that us Americans might just happen to beat the Irish at their very own game of hurling? It's not nice to see the 'fighting' Irish running so scared."
That's not the issue. The issue is they shouldn't get a bye to a semifinal. They should earn a semifinal place like everyone else, and perhaps not in the bottom grade either.

For Galway to win SAM - they need to modify their team/substitute strategy to ensure their main men are on the field when it counts (last 20min). Connor Gleeson; Johnny McGrath, Seán Fitzgerald, Jack Glynn; Dylan McHugh, John Daly, Seán Kelly, John Maher; Matthew Tierney, Peter Cooke, Cillian McDaid, Céin D'Arcy; Matthew Thompson, Robert Finnerty, C. Ó Curraoín SUbs: Liam Silke; Paul Conroy, Damien Comer, Daniel O'Flaherty, Cathal Sweeney, Tomo Culhane, Sam O'Neill, Shane Walsh, Seán Mulkerrin. I think a Galway team finishing with Comer, Walsh and Conroy will do far better than a team where those three are spent after 45mins

Replying To 32_4_1:  "Give over lad. In all my years of posting here, I actually don't think me and you ever had a debate of substance. The reason being, if someone didn't agree with you, you churn out the "attacking the poster, not the post line" straight away. This thread exhibit A. Why would I have a personal vendetta, all these years later, to get personal with you? Absolute nonsense. I simply pointed out, the minute your questioned on something or someone doesn't agree, revert to the "attacking the poster, not the post" shtick! As you did, all those years ago. I'll agree, I couldn't articulate my points as well as I can now possibly, but it's the same old story with you! You think I've nothing better to do, than come onto a forum, to get personal with you? Get real lad!"
Easy enough to jump to that conclusion when that's exactly what you're doing. My opening post to you was polite, respectful and on-topic. I even agreed with you! Since then well everyone can see yourself and oneoff have been having a sustained go at me over very little. Ignored my on-topic posts and repeatedly posted about me over pages and pages. People aren't idiots and can see it on the page in front of them

Replying To MonaghanMan44life:  "Good man, yet again you're showing how little you know. There is and has been only 1 player on that squad the past 6-8 weeks as one lad walked of the panel. For a fella who watches so many games you'd wanna get to specsavers cause your seeing things."
You are wrong there was two on it. Doesn't say much how what you know about football when you don't know how many of your club players were on the panel.

We should be starting our provincial championships now, not finishing them. April for clubs was better than this mess.

Among the best traits of a Horan managed Mayo team was how fit,conditioned and motivated they were. Worst thing to say about any Division 1 team is that they don't look fit or motivated. 70 minutes played on Sunday Cavan 8 points ahead, they ran a Mayo side off the pitch that didn't look fit and motivated.

Replying To Claretandblue:  "Forgot about Loman's not getting the points vs Garrycastle. Hard to see Loman's not going all out in last two games. Be harsh on them regardless if they were relegated having played league matches without their county players"
Is every other club team in the county without county players not in same boat? The Downs had 6 players with county panel since start of the year. You could argue that 1-2 players lost to the county panel in some clubs makes a bigger impact than say 4 on a club as big as Lomans no??

A fair take on matters. To be fair, Poacher was dealt a bad card after two managers stepped away in as many months. I've said my piece about the league, I'm prepared to mark the card and see what 2026 brings. But overall something has to change culturally... otherwise what's the point? Do we really want to go the way of Kilkenny footballers? I hope not.

As Klopp said we he walked through the doors of Anfield, "it's not so important what people think when you come in, it's much more important what people think when you leave" Are we any better than we are three years ago? Absolutely not, we are much worse in fact. Players have to take blame but the reality is the buck stops with the management. Just look at Donegal, about as useful as a chocolate teapot without McGuinness. Look at the difference when he comes back. Interesting to note the Rochford connection there too.

Cork are still a team that can win the All Ireland but their supporters should be more grounded.A league title doesnt mean you will win the All Ireland.

I know what YouTube is but I'm a bit too old for Rumble what ever that is. A bit like Belichick and SnapFace and InstanChat.

Replying To Cockney_Cat:  "Come on you Spurs!"
Some amount of waffle on the airwaves about this fixture, and how 'unfair' and inappropriate that a bottom 5 side will quality for CL off the back of it. The Europa winner gets a CL ticket, and that's that. It's completely irrelevant where their Premiership standing lies. I wouldn't mind, but no one points out that clubs in positions 8 to 15 currently in the Premier league, likely wouldn't win a Europa Cup in a month of sundays, or make the final either.
