Replying To Saynothing: "Not as bad as your own province. 1 Leinster team in Division 1. Poor show." 3 Leinster teams played 3 Ulster teams and Leinster won all 3.

Replying To Joeynyc: "Any word why top scorer from play in Ireland went off with 10 minutes to go?" Because he was nearly dead on his feet. He had emptied the tank. We loose a game and all these bandwagon fans on now questions MC Hugh. Next year when we paly Laois and Offaly etc in the league it will be back to the genuine supporters who support the team through thick and thin

Fair play to all the Westmeath fans who made the trip west today. It made for some occasion. There's nothing like a full house on a championship Sunday, and the weather helped too.
A fine game too and if Westmeath had got their hands on the last kickout, who knows what would have happened. The goal before half-time gave us a cushion and we managed most of the second-half pretty well against the breeze. Even an 8 or 9 point lead with less than 10 minutes left isn't safe in the modern game, and you almost clawed it back.
The best of luck next weekend.

Replying To jobber: "We died with our boots on correct and we were very brave but we beat ourselves. The first Galway goal was a total give away and right on half time when we had fought back so well Sam Mccartan who had been superb had a rush of blood to his head which ultimately cost us the game. The loss of both midfielders and Whitaker were huge losses and Mchugh has to take flak for leaving Scahill on Walsh for the entire game.
Dont get me wrong Mccartan and Mchugh are brilliant but not perfect and we have massive potential and need to learn from our mistakes." No we didn't beat ourselves. Galway were the better side throughout, we did brilliantly to keep within reasonable distance but Galway could easily have scored 5-6 goals. They're rightly All Ireland contenders, we know we're not at that level yet. Their efforts were fantastic

Before we move on to the next one... well done to players and management v Galway. Salthill on a sunny day in a packed stadium was unreal. WH players and management dont know when to lie down... its great to see. Chasing the game after 3x slopping goals, but never backed down.
The goal before ht was a killer. One of those...
We lost our way a little around the middle from kickouts for 15/20 mins in the second half but got to grips coming down the stretch. Ormsby for one of the young guns, tbf really got into it with 10 to go...
To a man they never gave up. Unbelievable never say die attitude.
Fair play to players and management.
No team will want to play is in coming games ….

Excellent stuff from Louth today.
I remember Leitrim beating Louth in Division 3 of the League in the last game prior to Covid Lockdown in 2020. The strides ye have made on the field, off the field and at underage since are the example every Div 3-4 team should be following.
Best of luck in the Q/F's - ye should rightly fear nobody.

I have to laugh - everyone wanted us out of Croke Park for years and now we want to move back to Parnell Park, they want us to stay in Croke Park.
Unbelievable Jeff..!
;o)
And so as to accommodate the neutral fans also no less… lol
Hilarious.

Replying To shaggykev: "Dubs are lobbying right now for the game to be in Parnell Park which is woefully too small for a game like this.
If we beat them in Croke Park, that would be four championship defeats in a row at Croke Park.
In fairness Dublin do need to get out of Croker for themselves and fans but Dublin badly need a 25k stadium of their own as soon as possible." They never wanted to leave Croke park when they thought they had an advantage there, remember the groups, home/away/ neutral. They never insisted Parnell park was used then.

Opinions are what we give here, its an discussion thread on a forum.
However its incorrect to assume that a summarized comment has no analysis behind it, especially with one line responses.

Enough chickens in Monaghan without counting the metaphorical ones. It's the Leinster champions coming to Clones next weekend- will be a lot tougher than the Connacht ones proved.

Game management has been a problem all year and it cost us again today. TJ cox v Wexford. Danny scahill free v Kildare ( got away with it but if beirne was yard further out we are out of Leinster championship) Sam McCarton today just before ht. 4 points with the wind would have been a different story. We need to learn from these mistakes ! Let's see who morning brings !

Replying To Scenicparish: "How the mighty have fallen?
After your magnificient 6 in a row a Dublin manager is afraid to play a team in Croke Park." I don't like it when posters don't think before they post (or possibly can't).
Since the great 6-in-a-row (only Limk hurlers in Munster also have that suffix in adult men's hurling or football), Dublin has won Leinster in '20, '21, '22, '23, '24 and Sam in 2023.
Where were all those games played? Was anyone afraid of paying, even winning them?
The most poetic justice, I feel, to now see lamenting, whiny Donegal have to live up to their own philosophy of taking the Dubs out of Croker.
This isn't about fear. This is about karma and justice.
In the Gaelic language, they have a great phrase for it: "Filleann an feall ar an bhfeallaire!"

Replying To Commodore: "Donegal played very well in the 1st half against Cork, had a healthy lead at half time, but they seemed to take the foot off the pedal in the 2nd half and our bench had little or no impact, while the Cork bench had a very effective impact.
No 2 point attempts until the last few minutes was strange, bit like last years All Ireland final. Very strange finish to this game." I don't understand why people say Donegal played well first half. We had a 5 point lead at half time, only because we got a lucky goal and a Cork free taker missed a free that an u12 would have scored.

Replying To Pope_Benedict: "We see a bit of Ros regularly, and I don't believe they've been top5 in the country since their 1977-1980 side went over the hill." Roscommon were certainly top 5 in 1991. Back to back Connacht titles, semi final of the National League and beaten by a single point by Meath in the All Ireland semi final. We're getting roasted on social media over Clones and rightly so. A shocking bad performance and serious questions have to be asked of players and management about it. If Monaghan had their kicking boots on, Roscommon would have lost by 15/20 points. Not acceptable for thousands of Roscommon people to travel North for what was a Roscommon No show.. Monaghan have got a good home draw and the best of luck to them.

Replying To legendzxix: "With Cork v Offaly in hurling on Sunday already.. is there talk of the Tailteann semi finals being on Saturday?" Yes semis on Saturday this year at 3pm and 5pm.
One on Rte and other on rte news channel.
So the double bill on Sunday live on RTE gone which was a big part of the initial PR to sell the TC. There will be at least 2 Round 3 all ireland games on GAA+ too on Saturday so the TC semis won't get much media attention.

Replying To systematic: "My feeling during the game was that westmeath much better than div 3. Really good team, some great players. Their keeper is a bit of a liability even though our press yesterday was best all year.
Thought yesterday was a really good test for us and our composure at end of game.
Can see that - we won the last 2 50/50 balls that mattered." There isn't too many Westmeath players who looked like they'd struggle operating in Division 1. Thought they were excellent yesterday,
Galway were ok in the fist half, took their goal chances brilliantly but unusually didn't take any advantage of the wind.
Second half was different, Galway were excellent for and the score line wasn't a fair reflection as Galway left a good few goals behind them.
Thats the 2nd game McGrath has been an unused subs, is he still carrying an injury? I was surprised too see O'Flaherty get on before O'Laoi.

The analysis is accurate, its just not the type of summary normally floated by pro-Government types for obvious reasons.
What isn't funny, is that taxpayers money is being wasted hand over fist for decades by people who have never worked a day in a results based environment with real repercussions for missing targets."
