Replying To jobber: "And in our eyes is all that matters. Be positive and understand media hype. Its been a wonderful year and lets hope 27 is even better." Yea Westmeath will definitely get 1 for novelty factor, but not on championship after Leinster , blessed to beat a poor cavan outfit and gangway and Monaghon were no great shakes as Louth and dublin showed. I think if Meath or Dublin put in sane perfermonances after a Leinster they would get very hard to get an all star. There stupid enough award there's a few counties including Westmeath who benefitted from being given a few harmless ones over years, Fermanagh as well if I remember getting them for quarter finals . 2008 Westmeath and fermagh got three between them for quarter finals , but the 2009 all Ireland semi finalists Meath didn't get an all star and only 1 nomination that year, they actually only lost to Kerry by 4 points. Definitely Louth also never have to much to get one over years. Seems a case of pumping up some counties all stars particularly if they are not a power in hurling. So I think we should be delighted to get 1. Remember there was debate last year if Meath would receive even 1 all star after beating, Kerry , dublin and Galway in championship. Does anyone ever feel some counties get very to get football all stars compared to others,?! dickie10 (UK) - Posts: 991 - 23/09/2026 13:23:39 2694777 Link
Replying To Fighting-Cocks69: "Hope the podcast can keep Glennon weekly. I know he probably missed a few games but he said it how it is. Every team in the A especially the top 4 would've hammered every team in the B bar Tubberclair. In any other county Moate wouldn't be in a quarter final this weekend. County board will be embarrassed by the time it's over and really need to rethink their decisions." Dennis and buddah are 2 men who know what they are talking about . They have the medals to prove it . The podcast is enjoyable to watch and ray is s good moderator mickcunningham (Westmeath) - Posts: 2024 - 23/09/2026 15:33:06 2694807 Link

He is bang on about St Loman's also, outside of Heslin, the 2 McCartan's and 3 or 4 more, they are struggling. They look decent going forward but watch them dropping back against Kinnegad. I wouldn't bet against Kinnegad getting 3 or 4 goals with the way St Loman's are defending. How many times can Hes get them out of a hole? Paddy Dowdall has let the team go stale, with far too much loyalty shown to older players, players he played with, and not enough faith in youth. For a Club fielding 2, sometimes 3 teams at underage grades through the years, where are all those players now? As for the farcical Championship format, the sad thing is, the County Board think they are doing a fantastic job. iarmhiabu (Westmeath) - Posts: 398 - 23/09/2026 15:55:19 2694813 Link
Replying To CasKD: "Shane O Donohue definitely has the most knowledge on the panel and attends the most games. Even has a decent knowledge of hurling when asked. Denis on the other hand would be speaking more hear say. I also disagree with your thoughts that all the top grouped teams would hammer anyone except Tubberclaire. Moate are certainly lucky in a few games to get there but lets see how it goes before passing judgement. And they are also running into the strongest of the strong teams. Last year Athlone were barely pipped by Kinnegad and now all of a sudden they would hammer them. Caulry pipped Moate to qualify for top group last year now they're twice as good as them? I think Tubberclaire, Moate, Athlone and Killucan would all be competitive against Shamrocks, Caulry, Garrycastle and probably Lomans and Kinnegad but the system did turn out messy without seeding for knockout rounds" Dont think my original reply was posted. Would disagree about Donohue, he has good knowledge of clubs in the Mullingar area but that's it, but to be fair he's not the only one. Definitely someone from South Westmeath on the podcast consistently who knows the clubs down there, I know Scats Browne does the camera work but he would be a good option as a pundit. Eoin Jordan has made a few appearances as well and would be in the know. The Downs Lomans and Kinnegad would all beat all section B teams apart from Tubberclair easy, Garrycastle and Shamrocks would finish in the top 2 of Section B, Caulry based on this year would not make top 3 in Section B.
