Replying To Gantric: "Down in the Tailteann Cup so, they might offer some challenge but I would still not show my hand here and wait for the proper qualifiers." It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

Replying To hootervillian: "How many All Irelands have you got. You win a game and you start spouting. The Kerrys, Galways, Corks and Dubs can talk but Westmeath really have very little to talk about." Lot more tonight than ye. What's Robbie B doing with the lads in the five weeks off!!!!!!

Replying To southmeathgael: "I was there, no they didnt, stop making stuff up. Lack of humility in victory just shows how winning isn't really something you are used too. We take it as a compliment when a team goes on like beating us is winning their all ireland. Hope you enjoyed the 2 week celebrations" Two more weeks now to celebrate and plan for final!!!

Brilliant from Westmeath all over the park today especially in extra time when after being deflated with a last second point taking victory away from them -they powered on in extra time and were worthy winners.Huge support for Westmeath today which was great to see and great for the lads-roll on the 17th and a crack at the Dubs in Croker.

Replying To if_in_doubt: "Fun while it lasted but normal service about to resume in Leinster with another easy title on the way for Dublin.
Meath must be kicking themselves." Very ungracious post. Westmeath better team. So you think Kildare would stop Dublin? They couldn't stop a clock.

Replying To Joeynyc: "Time to stop crying about Luke not playing.
Yea be good to have him.They lost to wexford and Laois with him, Wicklow last year.
So be it. There's enough talent on the pitch to win today." Pretty prophetic post. One of our greatest ever victories. Every player a hero. Three more championship games guaranteed. Brilliant support too.

To a man westmeath were outstanding today but I have to give special credit to the back three dillion, drumm and scahill outstanding. Defenders dont get much credit but the tackling and turn overs were brilliant. Brandon deservedly gets man of match and took the game to kildare. No doubt tge best team won today, well done mark mchugh and his management, what a turnaround in player belief in a year, roll on leinster.

Replying To Tadhg2020: "Sure that was decided too.." Thats a decision that would need revisiting if we went back to a 5 team Leinster Championship. Not fair that any Munster county can have a poor year with no penalty for it, while no Leinster county can.
Relegation would add a layer of excitement to the Munster Championship also.

Replying To M Lyster: "Down had to beat Donegal (1st in National League) then Armagh (6th in NL) to reach the Sam Maguire stage,
Meanwhile Kerry just had to beat Clare (24th in NL) to make it. Until this discrepancy is rectified we'll never have a truly level championship." But Kerry would have qualified anyway as 2nd in the League. The Clare game was irrelevant to the AI SFC, just like yesterdays Derry/Monaghan game was.
Plus if Down had stayed in Div 2. they wouldn't have had to worry about beating Donegal or Armagh.

The ladies are an example of how to ignore population numbers resources etc and just get on with it, think they had a year where they didn't field but they've bounced back and gave great days out to the supporters.
If there was a connacht intermediate cup for mens game we could surely win a few but would have some questioning it's value and others crying about how to include NY in it as well as the senior one, you can't win

Separate provincial championships from the All Ireland they are great competitions but no longer relevant to the All Ireland. Division 3 and 4 teams at the start of the year play Taillteann Cup Division 1 or 2 play Sam Maguire. The two teams promoted from Division 3 play All Ireland football the following year and the two teams relegated from Division 2 drop to Taillteann Cup. Scrap League finals and head to head rule go back to score difference.

Replying To Commodore: "I think we were caught cold last week, Down came in with fresh kickout strategy and us pulling big Caolan McGonigle from Center Half back to midfield to mark Murdock, left the center of our defence very vulnerable to a strong direct running game.
Armagh clogged up that middle area, hit Down players hard if they wandered in there and Down had no attacking plan B, they just struggled. Armagh also did some analysis on the Down kickouts last week, and were able to impact those as well. Basically stopped Down at source today.
Not sure why we couldn't adapt last week and react to these tactics, as it wasn't rocket science and I think we could have recalibated during that game." Spot on analysis however in hindsight I'm glad we weren't in Clones today. I think we'd have really struggled today as I'm led to believe Langan's injury wasn't the only significant one in the squad with one player in particular who shouldn't have played (hand forced because of the Langan situation). The few weeks will hopefully allow us to heal up and really go again.
On a side note congrats to Mark McHugh on guiding Westmeath to a Leinster final and achieving the right to play for Sam. This without two of their best players.

Replying To Tadhg2020: "Sure correct the first problem first...." That would be up to National Congress. And the 10 counties it would suit would get heavily outvoted by everyone else. Its not got a chance, it would be a waste of my time asking the Clubs Executive to put in a Motion.

Great win today and a serious team performance. The depth in this panel is superb, especially considering we were without Lynam, Loughlin, CMac, Guerin, and only had a half-fit Whittaker.
After listening to The Sunday Game, they were seriously impressed with our work rate and overall intensity
I thought Shane Allen fully deserved MOTM - Brandon Kelly was superb, but Allen's turnovers and defensive work were outstanding all day.
The only thing I'd question is Scahill going for it in the 69th minute - after the Wexford game I'd have thought we'd have learned our lesson, especially with Beirne getting that score. I didn't think we'd have the legs or depth for extra time, but to be fair, it worked out in the end.
I hate going back to it, but I think McHugh has been the best thing to happen to Westmeath in a long time. A lot of those lads were banging on the door when Dessie was manager, but he didn't take many chances and stuck with the more experienced, seasoned players.
Fair play to these lads now they're really proving themselves.

Replying To Doylerwex: "You realise areas not colonised by Britain leaves pretty slim pickings. I'm sure you're mistaken. Where are "all the immigrants" from Mars?" Slim pickings? The top 10 countries of origin for migrants in the UK, by country of birth. According to the 2020/2021 census, includes Poland, Romania, Italy and Germany (over a million and half in total). That's the official list. But you can be sure, there are hundreds of thousands more from all over the world, who would not like to be on a census form.
