Replying To TheFlaker: "Where's the insult? Seriously? You pointed out only negatives about Obamacare ? So yeah Fox News. It's not facts. You absolutely know Obamacare wasn't negative across the board. I know it wasn't positive across the board. I even pointed out a negative with a family member. So you can't say i am some blinded pro Democrat. Because I absolutely am not. Your post was totally negative ignoring the millions who benefited." I said that there was good points and bad points to Obama Care but you choose to ignore that. Your quib about Fox News was used as an insult as if I only get my news from there. For your information I get my information from numerous sources.
What did I say that that wasn't factual?

Replying To TheFlaker: "Obamacare was actually a very brave idea that cost him a lot of support from people in the middle. And Republicans only aim and still their only aim is to get rid of anything that resembles Obamacare. He also tried to properly enforce gun control but of course that was shot down.
He was pretty powerless to enforce a lot of things in his second term as the GOP had control of the Senate. They spent 8 years objecting to any decent idea Obama had." You said you lived in the US so you should know that gun control and gun rights clash a lot. The State of Vermont is a very liberal State yet it has almost no gun control laws and anyone that tries to bring them in gets voted out quickly.
Obama care was brought in as a beginning to National Health. Obama said if you like your doctors you can keep them, that turned out to be a lie. He also said if you like your health insurance now you can keep it also a lie. He said the cost of health care would come down it went up. There was some good aspects of Obama care but there was also some horrible ones.

Away from all the politics, I must say a big well done to the Irish ladies on their Nations League two-legged victory over Belgium. I watched both games and they have a good wee team. Belgium came right back into it last night with two well taken goals by their captain Tessa Wullaert. It was looking ominous for Ireland at that stage. Their 4-2 advantage from the first leg was wiped out and Belgium had all the momentum.
But fair play to Ireland. They made some changes and got back into the game. They probably should have went ahead before the 90th minute winner by Abbie Larkin. They left it late but got the job done.

Replying To KillingFields: "Why refer to rugby degoratorily as rugger. you dont see many if any these days in ireland refer to it as that who follow the sport unless theyre doing it ironically. And it may come down line in time that GAA may want or have to convert the hill to to all seater" Seeing as the trend is away from all seated stadia why would the GAA want or have to put seats in the Hill?
2 terraces in both Páirc Uí Chaoimh and Páirc na nGael. Nobody looking for them to be seated.

Replying To Viking66: "I'm not being smart by saying this but maybe try stick to the sports threads. Threads like this one are very easy to get contentious on. I get sucked in from time to time, especially as the season winds down." Fair enough but then why have this non GAA forum if only one side is safe from the hatchet? Is that the tolerance they preach about? But I do agree with you in that I will probably just stick to sports from now on.

Replying To TheFlaker: "Says the man who took the time to come on here and ask me?" Honestly why do you care about guns and Obama care? all worrying about the States does is act as a smokescreen for the problems in our own country. People obsessed with America is beyond me.

Replying To fairplay4ever: "See Sarsfields beaten in County final by Athenry.Is that a surprise?Was Niamh Mallon playing for Sarsfields?" Niamh Mallon doesn't play for Sarsfields - that was just a paperwork exercise so she could play for Galway.

Replying To Eire89: "Anyone know if Loughrea & Thomas`s on RTE on sat night?" It's not. €22 to stream the football, so expect the same again here. Pricey like everything else involved with Galway GAA TV.

It's gas.....the prices of everything from food, to non-alcoholic beverages, to miscellaneous goods and services, to whatever you're having yourself, can absolutely go through the roof, and lads shtill expect to get into Athenry, and see end of season double headers for a tenner.

"Shtill"....euugh one of those.
Have a go at reading that again. No one expects to get into games for a tenner. It's the streaming we're talking about. If they can stream games for 15 euro or whatever all year, to bump the price for county final seems pure opportunistic given there shouldn't be additional costs.

Replying To tirawleybaron: "Realistically, the big games to get in are NFL, Champions league, EPC finals etc
Only way to get them in is to turn Hill into a safe standing area, where the seats can be folded out as a nominally "all seater". The current Terrance set up is out of date" Leave the Hill alone.
If rugger or yankball want to rent Croke Park as it is for occasional games that's fine but redeveloping to meet needs of other sports .......NO!

Replying To OverTheHill85: "Having watched games this year is it fair to say Barry Pierce is our best referee now; thought he had a really good Intermediate Final; allowed the players to play on the edge in terms of physicality and displayed common sense when playing advantage; didn't keep his hand up for 30 seconds like some referees are. He's tight on the rules but definitely got the over carrying call right at the very end also. How his linesman failed to notify him of Shandonaghs obvious breach deep into injury time could have led to very controversial scenes had they ended up winning the game." Pity he didn't ref the senior final which was made a dogs dinner of.

I thought Enda Kenny did a great job. Given the conditions he let the game flow as much as possible and always had control of the game. He gave a couple of frees against CK in the 1st half but I believe he did this to protect players and assert his control. Overall although he missed a couple of calls, I thought he had an excellent game and I didn't notice any disquiet amongst either players or management with his performance.
I thought it was a great game of football especially given the conditions, some great performances on both sides and although The Downs never looked like loosing they were pushed all the way. CK lacked a few cutting edge forwards to support Darren Giles who was my MoTM. Great performances from Jonny Lynam, Kieran Nolan, Dean Egerton, Tom Tuite, Kevin O'Sullivan and of course Luke.
Best of luck to the Downs in Leinster though it will be tough against Tullamore in a couple of weeks time.
