Replying To Tiger1: "Well we still have one more senior all ireland than Galway and we didnt win them by getting into a semi final every year without having to beat anyone.Amazing how your titles have stopped comming now that you have to qualify like the rest of us so dont look down on Wexford until you at least win something." Usually the wexford lads get stuck into us on the forum when they beat us. Different approach this year i see and we havent played yet. Risky game that

Replying To foreveryoung: "What old qualifier system? Oh, the one where Leitrim won loads and loads of matches and ended up in numerous finals! That one.... RIGHT!" Don't take the bait. There are a lot of contributions of late that are designed to provoke. If you met them in person you'd at least have the option of walking away.

Replying To goreyll: "After the performance on Saturday, it'd make you wonder what role Bernard Dunne is playing and what impact he's having?" It was hard to believe our lack of intensity and belief . I really hope along with the management team he can help us deliver a completely different performance next Saturday

Replying To ohwow: "It just shows the farce of this teacup system that we could be playing Down even though they have beaten last years AI finalists. Time to scrap it and have the old qualifier system with a second chance in place." What old qualifier system? Oh, the one where Leitrim won loads and loads of matches and ended up in numerous finals! That one.... RIGHT!

Replying To BarneyGrant: "I don't think anyone can fault their spirit. They have never given up in any game. They are just not good.
Will probably go down on Saturday as it is first time for a long time that a Dublin football team is in one of those Al Pacino moments where they are facing existential life or death on the pitch!
Expect there will be a big crowd and hope they can come out the right side of what could be one of the games of the year." At least all that nonsense about splitting Dublin into 2, 3 or 4 has gone away now Barney !

Why isnt Barry Mchugh getting a look in at all with the seniors? Especially with Daly back into the fray. They work immcaculately together for the club with Dalys and also the likes of O Conghaile's kickpassing ability and Mchughs sheer class when it comes to point scoring I dont see how a team could deal with a full forward line of Mchugh finnerty and Mcdonnacha. We have a set of forwards capable of winning an all Ireland. All about picking the right team

Kerry it is for our U20s in the All-Ireland semi-final after their hard fought win against Cork tonight.
Up in the air yet if that game will be played Saturday May 9th or Wednesday May 13th. We always play Kerry in Munster for these type of game how about a proper neutral Leinster venue this time?

We've been in 4 All-Ireland finals since our move to Leinster. The 3 lost were to two teams being considered as the greatest ever. One went to a replay, another lost by a point. We've been up and down for sure over the past 15 years, but we've been a factor in the All-Ireland championship on many occasions in that time. We're the last team from the Leinster championship to win the All-Ireland.
I'm not going to start running down Wexford as I've of time for them, but Wexford's record in this period is quite a bit behind.

Can we all just agree to stop engaging with the WUM's on this forum? They'll get bored soon when they are only talking among themselves and their multiple accounts.
I think we had about 3 wins in 20 games in the qualifiers, they didn't work for div 4 counties

Replying To ORIELMAN85: "Some real talent on that Monaghan team too." There is but there's no guarantees any more than 2-3 of them will feature prominently at senior level in years to come and well be lucky to get that amount. If you look at the last monaghan u20 side to reach an ulster final while a lot of them have got runs in the senior team or being around the squad over the last few years and notably this year hardly any of them became regulars in the team. Sean Jones was the main man in that final for Monaghan he left the panel last year having never really making any impact in a number of years on it.

Replying To MayoDan: "Mayo have won plenty of close games in recent years too, such as last year's U20 Connacht final, you're just choosing to ignore those.
Mayo beat Roscommon narrowly a few weeks ago but it's always difficult to beat the same team again in quick succession." Swings and roundabouts lad. We kicked away a final years ago to Mayo played in Markiewicz Park and Mayo went on to win the All Ireland. That was a super final last night. Thrilling entertainment albeit it was punctuated with bizarre play, coughing up possession, schoolboy errors but hey that added to the drama. It was good old cut and thrust with no where to hide. No cynical play or rough stuff. Roscommon won it narrowly in the end but Mayo all credit due made it a fantastic spectacle. The goal before half time for Roscommon put doubts in yer heads and made it a manageable task at half time. Plenty of talent in Mayo. Great advertisement of football in the West that match.

There is generally one common denominator, Addiction. People who rack up that many convictions just dont care anymore. By that I mean that their need out weighs the risk to their liberty.
I would need to see the official statistics and data, is that information widely available to support what you are saying?
Contrary to what you seem to think there is a maximum sentence to each crime or offence so " locking them up for life" isnt an option and never will be for shop lifting or possession. Most people with over 100 convictions have them for minor crimes.
20 years isn't life, a nice hefty sentence would remove such hassle from society for a long time. We are too soft on crime.
If they were serious criminals they would have over 100 as they would be locked up for much longer periods throughout their life. Of course there are always exceptions but when you see over 100 convictions think serious addiction and/or mental health issues. Its normally on the money.

Replying To yew_tree: "The Flaker - In fairness it will be 30 years this summer since Mayo lost to Meath after a replay. Mayo have been in what….10 All Ireland finals in those 30 years (not including replays) so we've been in 1/3 of all football finals without winning a single one.
It's a remarkable and depressing record from our point of view so naturally Mayo teams are judged fairly or unfairly by those standards (competing at the business end and getting to finals).
Roscommon aren't judged the same as Mayo and why would they?" I have you arguing this point and another poster saying this group should not be judged by these standards. Sums up this place.

Replying To yew_tree: "My crisis comment was no reflected just at last night. I watch a lot of Mayo club football and there is a crisis in my honest and humble opinion. Nothing wrong with losing an underage title like last night, that's a very good Roscommon team.
However a running theme, Mayo beat them a few weeks ago yet are beaten when it really matters, like the minor team a few years ago in the all Ireland final. Mayo can not close out games when on top, from senior back down to minor and it's happening over and over again.
Out S&C once the best along with Dublin does not look up to scratch now. Mayo had a branch review report written up by Liam Horan 15 years ago and the recommendations were all ignored by the County Board. Enough said." Mayo have won plenty of close games in recent years too, such as last year's U20 Connacht final, you're just choosing to ignore those.
