Replying To McGuirk1985@:  "How did the cavan representatives get on?"
Cavan are victims of having a competitive championship. Teams rarely get a run of titles that allow them to navigate through Ulster. As the Mknaghan championship is so uncompetitive, county Scotstown are getting better at winning a few games. An active transfer market assists them even further.

Replying To Doylerwex:  "This conversation has taken a turn. That depends on whether or not you believe Mary was born with original sin which is the essence of my point.

We are all sinners.

I don't agree with the second part. How many people do you know that don't do bad stuff?

Try as I might I'm committing at least one of the 7 deadly sins every week."
Sin was a religious concept to leave you perpetually with guilt and obeying the church is conveniently your only way of ridding yourself of the sin. Hey lads not sure ye realise but ye are all sinners, and you will never get into heaven without ridding yourself of the terrible sin you are all born with...how do we do that Patrick....oh the only way is joining my church and doing everything I tell you. If a salesman came to your door trying to pull that stunt you'd rightly call them a scam artist.

Replying To Viking66:  "Club provinvial hurling is generally closer to intercounty standard than club provincial Football. Most of the teams that make provincial club hurling championships have a higher percentage of intercounty players than most of the clubs who make intercounty football championships.
Check it out for yourself."
That's plainly because there's less hurling clubs/hurlers compared to football.

Can we stop with the whining from both sides please?

Replying To FearCeatharlach:  "Both lost first round. Point proven"
I honestly can't believe you could post that. The last couple of weeks have been nothing short of embarrassing for Carlow football.

The senior champions were never in the game against a Portarlington side missing half their best players. The intermediate winners went out and got beaten by twenty-nine points. That's not bad luck.

Meanwhile, the hurling teams are punching miles above that level. The IHC winners beat a good Westmeath outfit and only went down to a very strong Commercials side and all after not playing a competitive game since August. And in senior, Mount Leinster went toe-to-toe with a Naas team who could win Leinster outright, and probably would have beaten them if Chris Nolan hadn't been sent off. Again: no matches since August.

Carlow hurling is clearly operating at a far higher level than Carlow football. Anyone pretending otherwise is deluding themselves.

Replying To Viking66:  "2018 they lost by 6 to a good Coolderry team.
2019 St Mullins beat Cuala from Dublin and Rathdowney from Laois.
2021 MLR lost by 6 to Ballyhale, who narrowly lost the AI final.
2022 St Mullins beat our county champions
2023 MLR lost to OLG, who lost the AI final by just 1 point.
2024 St Mullins lost to KK from Offaly.

That's all pretty good when you consider the long lay off your county champions have.

Since Hanrahans won their last title in 2000 you have reached twice as many Hurling Leinster finals as Football ones."
Viking, sadly there are some people in Carlow who seem to loathe hurling. It's impossible to understand the logic. But it's always been like this.

Those of us from the south of the county have long been fully aware of it.

The BBC caught deliberately interfering and attempting to influence the Presidential election in America,
this is the BBC we are all supposed to trust to give us impartial news? I hope Trump sues them into bankruptcy.
Trump was spot on about the fake news after all.

I still find it unbelievable that people think there is a god overseeing all that happens in the world. If there is then he is some craic.
