Replying To CorkLiamMcCarthy24: "Con overrated. Wouldn't make a full strength Kerry team." Why would he want to. If he played for Kerry sure he wouldn't have all those All Ireland medals in his back pocket now would he

Replying To Freethinker: "Have to agree with you on this. I too have family, extended family and friends who moved abroad and settled there. Very few talk, if any, of coming back." Why would any Irish come back to an Ireland where it's "Irish Last" in favor of non Irish and even non European in an attempt to make the country look like the worse parts of Detroit or London? Meanwhile the worthless Irish "news" Media lulls them to sleep by keeping them distracted with gender nonsense or worrying about Trump. Wake up woke people.

Can't understand why there isn't a big push to get our people home from Canada, Australia, US etc to live and work and settle and help to revitalise our rural and urban areas. Bring the skills and knowledge they've gained in other countries to improve our own. Particularly in health and construction industries

Replying To Alwaysencourage: "Lord above it would kill Ciaran Whelan to give Galway any kudos at all.The only reason he is against two pointer rule is that Dublin haven't mastered it yet but when they do he will be all for it.Also Galway saved the penalty so give a bit of respect to the keeper." Cawley giving that penalty!!
Just watched it there, never a penalty in a million years,

That's a point I've always been making to people too, Trump and all his antics is a great smokescreen to deflect from the shortcomings of our own leaders and how they've failed the people of this country. But sure, let's all just keep obsessed with orange fella...

Replying To Square_B: "Is there no Mayo thread you can comment on?" Why are you always so hostile to other counties contributing to this thread? There is quite a lot of good will from other counties to Leitrim, of course if you had played the game at any decent level you might better understand this! Have a nice evening! Well done to the young kids that played for Leitrim today, you can really see the improvement, hopefully the u20 players will benefit from the intensity of division 3 football when it comes to their own championship! Leitrim Abu!

Replying To anon: "I don't think he has come up short in too many performances at key times.
Year 1 - scored 4-14 across 3 Super 8 games as a 19 year old but Kerry didn't make it through the group
Year 2 - in the drawn game Johnny Cooper was sent off in the first half for constantly fouling him including giving away a penalty. Scored 5 points in the replay
Year 3 - Probably underperformed by his standards against Cork, but still scored 4 points and hit the post for what would have been an absolutely outrageous goal, all in horrendous weather conditions
Year 4 - Scored 8 points in the semi final against Tyrone
Year 5 - Won All Ireland. Kicked 8 points and won MotM.
Year 6 - Scored 3 points and set up another 1-2 including a beauty of a pass for the goal
Year 7 - Another performance that was probably below his usual standards but scored 4 points.
That's just the big games you are trying to claim he underperformed in. Any normal player would be happy with any of those performances.
Won 5 All Stars, 2 PotY and a YPotY in those 7 seasons, in an era where Kerry have been far from the dominant team
If he retired tomorrow he'd be considered one of the greatest ever, if he continues playing at the level he's at for 6 or 7 more years there won't be a debate in my opinion. Describing him as just "good" or just one of many great players in this era is way underplaying how good he really is." I don't think matches where he scored 2 points and 1 point from play respectively are great evidence for your argument.

Good win today that display in second half will keep the feet on the ground after great display in first half. No bad thing. Big one in two weeks said at start of this league if we got our heads right we'd be fine in this division as players are there. The winning feeling compared to last year has just about done that. Meath are flying. Live in the county and good buzz and a seriousness about them for first time in years. Navan be a good test of where monaghan are really at be a big crowd as paddys weekend. Whoever wins will more than likely go up with roscommon. Think both sides are in sam maguire now regardless which is really important also. Hopefully bar the long term injuries we will be at full strength.

Replying To Belclare7: "Today was a day that shows the benefit of using Tuam more...
No breeze, a huge crowd, superb atmosphere, great surface, and a great game.
Lots of work to do still but they worked really hard to fight out a draw..
Referee was diabolical.
PJ got to change lads around and everyone did well.
Good to see the local sham Brian Mannion get on and he did very well in fairness.
Probably need to work on kicking into our forwards through that blanket defence..
All in all great valu for money" No wind comment makes your comment irrelevant there was a huge wind there today.
The rest fair enough Galway and Tyrone played good supporting roles in the Brendan Cawley show

No chance is he the greatest of all time. Singlehandedly lost kerry the all Ireland against dublin in 2023. One of the best currently in the country but talk of him being best ever is nonsense.
He also doesn't work hard enough he's happy to be kicking points when it's handed to him but doesn't work.

I've family and friends scattered around the globe and they'll never live here again. They have a far better quality of life in the likes of Canada Australia

As someone who has worked in the health service for almost 50 years in a major hospital in the west of ireland I wonder who you prpose to replace the non irish or even non European workers that are now working there leaving medical and nursing aside the cleaning catering security portering and h.c.as are almost all non national because irish people won't do those jobs even though they are well paid

Replying To Trump2020: "Sweden is waking up. WHEN WILL IRELAND?
https://www.newsweek.com/sweden-offer-immigrants-34000-leave-country-1953451
The Swedish government has said it will start offering certain migrants up to 350,000 Swedish kronor ($34,000) in exchange for returning to their countries of origin from 2026." So not only have they looked after them, but now they are paying them to leave? That's incredible

Replying To TheFlaker: "I get it lad. Trump supporters can't admit to being wrong about stuff. " Let's see what happens " seems to be the only argument they have. An American president standing with Russia and North Korea.
Trump made an eejit out of himself with Macron who gave him an economics lesson on the spot. Yesterday you had Vance butting in but not getting his facts right on when all this started. These are the eejits you think are good because they are different. They are different that's for sure." I'm a Trump supporter because of the terrible alternative that ironically gave birth to another Trump Presidency. The Biden years were terrible. Out of control inflation, a wide open uncontrolled border that facilitated human trafficking and fentanyl not to mention the Cartels coming and going, etc. The answer to this from the Left was to go on and on about Genders and hide Bidens obvious mental issues. Since Trump got back in less than 6 weeks ago the following has been invested IN the USA: $500 Billion from Apple and Stargate each over the next 4 years, $14.1 Billion from Nippon Steel, $600 Billion from Saudi Arabia, etc. All this is easily verifiable. The Democrats preferred sending the money OUT of the country via USAID and others. No thanks.

Pay as little taxes as you possibly can and get yourselves Private Medical Insurance. We're waiting days to see a local doctor and when you arrive for your appointment the waiting rooms are full of These Peaople. The only way to waken the government is in the pockets.

The lack of support is a real real issue. It was basically a home game for Meath today. In my opinion it makes a huge difference. It actually got Meath over the line in the end in what was a frantic finish. I was on the terrace and I couldn't hear any Westmeath support. Other than a small ripple from the stand. I thought the lads did very well and probably should have won but for the lack of a right footed free-taker. Meath were quite poor actually. That's why it's so frustrating. We need to research the reasons why supporters are not attending games and figure out incentives and solutions.

Hard one to take for the hurlers. Had that game won & with the last puck of the ball Antrim get a goal. How it went past so many players I don't know. The Antrim player seemed to miss hit it too.
We should have been further ahead at the end but we missed a few chances in 2nd half & unsuccessfully went for goals on a couple of occasions when handy points were on offer. Yes Antrim missed chances & we saved a penalty but having lead from the middle of the 1st half right up to the last puck it's very disappointing.
I felt the ref was very harsh on us & a number of times he waved play on when carlow players had Antrim men holding their hurls or arms. Was very frustrating. Did anyone notice that Davy Fitz waited in the middle of the pitch at the start of the 2nd half to have a word with the ref but the ref wouldn't come over to him.
Promotion still possible but getting the points to stay up now is so important. We don't want a situation where we lose to Laois as they could pip us on the head to head rule. The lads were definitely very rusty after no game for a few weeks so hopefully this will bring them on for the Dublin game
