Replying To johnnyh: "So it took McCabe and McHugh to show him there was actual young talent in Westmeath if he had wanted to look for it. Would be a crazy move to re-appoint Dessie." Agreed

Replying To Tirchonaill1: "Jim Gavin is the kind of man you'd like to see as Taoiseach, FF are making a mess of selection imo.
At the minute I think Catherine Connolly would be a good woman for the job." The same woman who is good friends with Mick Wallace and supported Gemma O Doherty for President ?

Replying To jm25: "Walsh isn't even the standout midfielder at killanin.
Roche looks a serious player powerful and similar to Maher back in 2022.
I don't think Walsh will get enough time he requires at IC level." Would agree on Roche. Covered every blade of grass in Salthill on Saturday. Powerful on the ball and good in the air. Walsh has the more natural footballing talent but I'd have Roche in a county setup much quicker.

Replying To Ulsterman: "Hopefully Jim Gavin will get the nominations and votes required for the Irish Presidential run. He is a very intelligent, decent, caring human being who would make a superb President." I think he'd be wasted as President. Would prefer to see a man with his qualifications, organisational and motivational abilities and personality get elected as a TD and become a Minister or go even higher.

Replying To dave1988: "Will you stop" He's right tough.
2022 was the last year under Anthony Cunningham as Roscommon manager.
Scored 2-16 in the Connnacht final and if good enough defensively it would have been enough to win that final
Scored 1-17 against Clare which should be enough to beat them but the issues defensively meant you lost.
Brigid's the other night scored just 0-11 which is not comparable and it was 0-11 with the new rules also.

back up goalies always a thorny one as difficult to get released if part of panel and wihout league games you can struggle for sharpness.one other thing to bear in mind- there are always call outs for different players to be called in but not everybody willing/in a position to committ. i love my football but unless a large organisation for pr purposes ,couldnt employ an inter county player.

Dessie should be given a chance with Galway again and I dont mean in a blustery league game against Donegal in January think he should be bought in and given a few games. Standout player in club champo. Has any player stood out that is not in with PJ already or has been in. Only dara walsh possibly from kilanin?

Galway Hurling thread - 1 Like(s)
Replying To Green&Gold2013: "Squash, volleyball and tennis. Stop the likes. Hurling is number one. They don't have players saying no I won't be at training today I am going playing in the county volleyball championship. Soccer and football are also only hobby sports in Loughrea. Apart from one maybe two they don't lose potential senior hurlers to the sports above like what might be the case in the city clubs. Like most town clubs in both football and hurling they have a soft under belly." It's great that you managed to disagree with your original post so saves me the bother ,
Anyway , soft underbellies aside , Loughrea are the current county champions , and medals , as you say are all important ,

@Square_B - with all due respect, you have Google yourself, and it's a great tool for finding information on anything you might be interested in.
But leaving that aside - let's just say your last line goes to the nub of the entire matter. There's a widespread perception that integration would mean that women's inter-county squads would get all the same things as the men's. But there hasn't been a single decent proposal as to where all the funding would come from to meet these extra costs.

A lot of one sided matches again this weekend. There really is a gulf between the top teams in SHC1 and the bottom half.

Cork Senior Hurling Manager 2026 - 1 Like(s)
Replying To Canuck: "Good luck to him but not at our expense. The rest don't care who is driving the bus in Cork. I am sure he will do well if he can keep the passengers sitting in their seats." Have no fear, Ben will keep the passengers in check, and the County Board Officials in their own separate taxi following behind.
Also I expect the bus to be like the local link, picking up passengers from some non-hurling stronghold destinations.
Ben does get a bit animated on the line (think Davy Fitz Style) and will put pressure on referees and officials which won't endear him any opposition management teams or supporters while creating hysteria amongst the Cork fans.
Ben v Brian Lohan on the line could be worth the admission fee alone, when Cork and Clare meet in the Pairc next April/May

I did see Roche against Moycullen and thought he was the best player on show behind Dessie and definitely worth a look. Any club goalie having a decent campaigh I know Flaherty is outfield for ClareGalway

Replying To GreenandRed: "He's the Chief Operations Officer of the Irish Aviation Authority. Logistics and deadlines would be his strengths." And that has any relevance to the issues mentioned.
Logistics and deadlines is just meaningless words and the areas he has worked in are totally different to housing and HSE.
