Replying To farneygael3: "Another spanking handed out today" A a few of the naomh conail players owe our club nothing, a few all Ireland medals in that team already. Not to many all Ireland medals in Monaghan

Replying To JimB1991: "Galway are a level or two below the main challengers to Kerry. Horrendously overrated team, I just don't get it. Being better than Mayo is no longer a yardstick for judging all Ireland credentials." Fáilte ar ais a Shéamuisín. We've missed your pearls of wisdom.

Replying To gaa.88: "Congratulations to Cian. You are correct in that it is the second Cian O Sullivan to win an All star for Dublin. O Sullivan a very popular name in Cork and Kerry.Indeed Cian the footballers parents both come from Kerry and its interesting that two different Tom O Sullivan s have won all stars for Kerry in football also." Two different Dermot Earley's were awarded two all- stars each representing two different counties in two different provinces in two different millennia!

Strong display by Moycullen in what was a banana skin, very much showed why they are favourites to win the Connacht senior title

Replying To jacktheboy: "Conor O Donnell was by far Donegals best forward this year, had a great final, if they were giving one forward All Star to Donegal it was him by a mile, Sam Mulroy had a great year and deserves his All Star." I must say I think you are right and Conor O Donnell is very unlucky not to get an all star.Having said that I am delighted for Sam Mulroy as he has been terrific the last few years and comes across as a Gentleman too,Tbf I also think Michael Murphy deserved his all star.

Too many clubs in Senior Championship. Needs a shakeup. 16 should be reduced to 12.
It means top of Intermediate is way below that of other counties.
Monaghan, while a smaller population, has 10 Senior clubs so Intermediate champions are around 11th best. In Donegal it's around 17th best.
12 clubs in Senior, 2 groups of 6, seeded based on League (makes League more important), 5 games, top two in each into semis.
Same in Intermediate & Junior and maybe look at a second Junior level to include top reserve teams with bottom Junior clubs.

Leitrim GAA thread - 2 Like(s)
Replying To Square_B: "It probably is the only solution however does it excuse the fact that there's only 1 referee for the entire of North Leitrim? I get that there's a smaller number of clubs but that's shocking. I doubt any ref is coming over from other counties for 50eur so it maybe also time to look at increasing the fee by a small amount. There will be no games at all if clubs don't step up. The ladies clubs should also be stepping up to provide a few refs also, as far as I'm aware there's no ladies ref in the county." A vicious circle that stems from the failure to deal with repeat offenders. It'd be ironic to expect certain clubs to produce refs given their culture and their attitude towards them. No young person in those clubs is going to consider becoming a ref. They've learnt from a very age that you're expected to argue with and abuse the ref.

From not giving Shamrock Gaels any chance before the game to saying a great opportunity was wasted after losing by 11 points?

Hurling - Merging Counties - 1 Like(s)
As a hurling man in Roscommon, I wouldn't be against a rest of Connacht amalgamation and think it would be quite exciting actually. We used to be a clear no 2 in Connacht, those days are over ,Mayo have taken that mantle and Sligo have come on in leaps and bounds and there's always an exceptional hurler or two in Leitrim . If you filtered the best on offer from the 4 counties, got the right preparation and were prepared to persevere, you would expect to be very competitive at Tier 2 with a chance to break through the glass ceiling.
I also think there is a bit of a bond between the hurling communities in the counties and the deep inter county football rivalry wouldn't be a factor.

If we get back Kieran Thompson next season and find one or two more corner backs, we struggled with pace in the full back line. Keep Ethan and Gallagher and Malone along with roarty and max Campbell, we have the spine of a good team. I can see the older players stepping away, they can't play forever and own us nothing. The most successful spell in our clubs history this past 20 years.
I remember a time when we would be over the moon winning an intermediate championship.
Scotstown look a reasonable good side, a lot of experience mixed in with younger players. The Hughes and mc carron, beggan. No one will beat them easy, but if I was a betting man, my money would be on kilcoo.
As regards the county setup, I hope he gives roarty a rest, don't want to burn the young man out to early.
I can see Max Campbell being drafted in to the setup.
And maybe Malone and Gallagher.

Replying To Collio: "They also haven't won a game in Leinster since 2017." 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.

Shamrock Gaels were unable to match the physically stronger Galway team. I was surprised at how heavy the pitch was. Football in November suits stronger and more physical teams. The Kelly's had big games for Moycullen.

Replying To Collio: "2 v 1 'twice as many', stop trying to make things look better than they are. Simple fact is club hurling is not as strong as you people try to make it out to be." 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.

Replying To leitrim4sam: "Disrespect shown to Leitrim clubs is shocking. Moycullen still have to beat Leitrim Gaels to reach the final, now I agree they'll be hottest of hot favourites to do so- but still they have to beat them.
Some of the comments on here:
" Pearses, Ballina, Moycullen is as tough as any route to a provincial title."
" Now I expect Brigids to beat Ballina but in the final they'll be up against the favourites Moycullen"
" Moycullen defensively are not that great or at least not good enough to go all the way. Their midfield without Cooke not great either. But he will be there for a Connacht final."
Now I also think Moycullen will be in the final, they are strong strong favourites to advance but have some respect, they have another game to play first.
As for intermediate :
"Intermediate looks very tough, Kilmeena will fancy themselves and Caltra will be no pushover"
Allen Gaels will be no push over either" Respect is generally earned. No Leitrim club has won the senior Connacht club title and it's 1997 since reaching the final a stat that unlikely to change against Moycullen regardless of how many Fermanagh brothers has been added to the Leitrim Gaels team or how many training sessions Jim McGuinness had with the team.
It's ten year since a Leitrim club reached the Intermediate Connacht final and again no Leitrim club has won that title. Allen Gaels beating both Strokestown,Kilmeena will certainly earn respect but I can't see that happening.
