RIP to young Odhrán Mc Girr who sadly passed away today. Led Tyrone out onto the field to play Offaly just 3 short weeks ago. Condolences to his family.

Replying To StockholmGael:  "We got opened like a tin of beans in the Hyde last week. The likes of Kerry who have the boys to kick fast ball into the forward line must be licking their lips at that exposure. Not sure if that's something that's fixable by the business end of the championship. Now, we can blame injuries, the weather or the old 'maybe the trained hard before the game' that often gets rolled out after a loss, but if that doesn't get rectified, we won't be bringing Sam through Pettigo this year either."
The League form, wherther it's 6 points after 3 matches or a loss in Hyde Park has no bearing in the Championship.
Jim used the League to add a few players to the panel and try a few players in different positions.

Replying To Dheen:  "Some win for St Mary's 2nd year's over CBS Kilkenny in the Leinster A quarter final. 2-24-0-13, that's a big win. They face Good Counsel in the semi final next."
Excellent coaching setup in the CBS by the looks of the results the are consistently getting

Brilliant to see John daly back in the match day squad. Best number 6 and passer of the ball in the country. I expect the inside forwards to have a field day if he gets playing.

Agreed, even for a young lad from say Clifden that makes a panel, training in the likes Glenamaddy (which seems to be head of operations these days) places an awful strain on parents and players.

Really needs to be looked at in my opinion.

Replying To anotheralias:  "Very disappointed with the Mayo team named. Fair enough , no interest in getting to league final and take the opportunity to give lads a chance. But with the strength of yer panel i thought ye wouldnt have to resort to playing lads who have no real chance of contributing come championship, or at least no chance in the positions they are selected. At least the only one impacted by the weak team is yerselves. I would be fairly aggrieved with this team if ros had lost to donegal and were still in the relegation mix. To be honest the team selection smacks of a fear that ros might beat ye with a full team and that , that, would dent confidence pre champo, and that seems to be reflected in the comments in Mayo blog where most people are happy with the selection."
The Mayo GAA blog has too many keyboard whingers and more usernames than posters.

If we are winning games at a canter, then we'd be peaking too early and what are we doing that for.i guess there is no winning is there.

kerry didn't beat us last year with a kicking game they best us way a running game.the kerry analysts put out the notion they are the gods of beautiful football via the media but at end of day they do whatever it takes to win. Watch the game back and see how many times they kick ball into full forward line. It will surprise you.

Replying To Zucker:  "Was in aughawillan for the Fenagh game. Fenagh just about scraped a win but it was a dreadful game. Looks like the fena conveyer belt of talent is drying up"
It would hardly be anything to do with them having 7 regular starters on county duty….
It was certainly a low-scoring affair.

Replying To Seanfan:  "Time for the UN to disband?
Like it's predecessor the League of Nations it proved powerless when the big bullies started wars."
No, but the world needs a mechanism to overcome the veto power of the permanent members of the UN Security Council, as that is ultimately what renders the UN powerless in matters of war.

And if those members refuse, then perhaps the UN should discard those permanent members and remove their influence from it completely and have the UN represent the rest of the world without Veto. Leave the US, UK, France, Russia and China on the outside.

Replying To sponger:  "Some heavy hitters in Division 2 next year......"
There are, but thats the level where we should be at and always were. I heard Boscos interview earlier and that's where the lads agree the want to be. He has a good blend of hurlers experienced and young and maybe some others will put their hands up in the coming county championships.
Let's hope the footballers can do us proud tomorrow and make it a double celebration. They will need to hit the boards running. No doubt Longford will tear into them as we seem to be capable of being caught flat footed particularly when playing away. We don't need to be chasing a 6 or 8 point lead

Replying To legendzxix:  "Wexford remain in 1B and Westmeath remain in D2. Not where both want to be for their respective ambitions.
Kildare staying in 1B and Kerry earning promotion to 1B have had a very good league."
Its our own fault we are in 1b. We need to do better next year. No complaints.

Replying To SouthGalway:  "I fully agree and that was pointed out and said but what I pointed out was ignored for whatever reason. I guess it didn't suit some here. I hate war as I repeated over and over but don't treat it like it's Angel vs Devil because there's enough evil to go around. I hope the Iranian PEOPLE get what they want but I have no love at all for their Government (or Israel's). But having said that I really hope this gets over with quickly."
Perhaps you could explain what was ignored, I prioritised your point at the start of my reply. You chose one isolated incident, an incident that is also being reported as a punishment for crimes that merit the same death penalty in America, by the way.

Nobody said it was angel vs devil, but America and Israel attacked Iran during negotiations, multiple times. So stop pretending you dont see the oil/empire greedy elephant in the room please.

Replying To WonTon5:  "More a case of a strong group coming through at the same time, 2009 was a good year in MB. From what I've heard, they're a decent bunch off the field too, which always helps. The midfielder, Oisín Naughton, looks a serious talent loads of energy and real quality throughout this evening.

That said, even with six players involved, MB won't have it all their own way in the U17 championship. Claregalway and Oranmor will be right there challenging, and Dunmore and Caherlistrane shouldn't be ruled out either.

On another note, the U16 trials in Bekan tomorrow at 9am are a tough ask. Anyone travelling from Clifden or the islands is at a clear disadvantage it's a big commitment, and the Academy is expecting a lot from parents."
Always the way with the county, arrangements are always made to suit the north board. No consideration for the city/west at all. They'll put a toll on the quincentennial bridge yet.
