Brilliant to see John daly back in the match day squad. Best number 6 and passer of the ball in the country. I expect the inside forwards to have a field day if he gets playing.

Trump on another rambling rant last night. This time re threatening to take Greenland unless EU states step up and help them with Iran and the strait. What a president! Any commentary from the Galway trump fan club here?

Replying To anotheralias:  "Very disappointed with the Mayo team named. Fair enough , no interest in getting to league final and take the opportunity to give lads a chance. But with the strength of yer panel i thought ye wouldnt have to resort to playing lads who have no real chance of contributing come championship, or at least no chance in the positions they are selected. At least the only one impacted by the weak team is yerselves. I would be fairly aggrieved with this team if ros had lost to donegal and were still in the relegation mix. To be honest the team selection smacks of a fear that ros might beat ye with a full team and that , that, would dent confidence pre champo, and that seems to be reflected in the comments in Mayo blog where most people are happy with the selection."
The Mayo GAA blog has too many keyboard whingers and more usernames than posters.

Replying To Galwayman67420:  "Always the way with the county, arrangements are always made to suit the north board. No consideration for the city/west at all. They'll put a toll on the quincentennial bridge yet."
Agreed, even for a young lad from say Clifden that makes a panel, training in the likes Glenamaddy (which seems to be head of operations these days) places an awful strain on parents and players.

Really needs to be looked at in my opinion.

Replying To WonTon5:  "More a case of a strong group coming through at the same time, 2009 was a good year in MB. From what I've heard, they're a decent bunch off the field too, which always helps. The midfielder, Oisín Naughton, looks a serious talent loads of energy and real quality throughout this evening.

That said, even with six players involved, MB won't have it all their own way in the U17 championship. Claregalway and Oranmor will be right there challenging, and Dunmore and Caherlistrane shouldn't be ruled out either.

On another note, the U16 trials in Bekan tomorrow at 9am are a tough ask. Anyone travelling from Clifden or the islands is at a clear disadvantage it's a big commitment, and the Academy is expecting a lot from parents."

Replying To BarneyGrant:  "Nice day for a trip to Carlow, A 'workmanlike' performance with the chance to give a few of he less experienced lads a run before the league final should do the trick.

Big news, however, is the unexpected addition to the panel of someone who's name certainly surprised me."
If Carlow beat Dublin ye are unlikely be in the league final!

low info. posters in no short supply here. The U.N. has many branches committed to improving the condition of humanity.
Disbanding would be a disaster.

Think i might have hit a little nerve. It was a bit of a tongue in cheek comment about the fear,as i doubt if Andy waa thinking that way. But i would say with certainty that its the way some supporters are thinking.

How Do We Take Hurling On From Here - 1 Like(s)

Replying To Tadhg2020:  "What should Munster do? Weaken its product? Drop its standards? Its the top competition in hurling because it hasn't dropped those standards and weakened its product. It averages 29.9k with one stadiums capacity under 15k and another at 20k. Thats phenomenal. You cant even find numbers for the Bob O Keeffe to compare with.
Kerry will be welcome in the Munster championship when they are as good as or better than the weakest team in it. Thats where they have to get to and that is up to them. Its wont be good for the championship, kerry or the other teams until then. Noone wants to have to hammer kerry to match the score difference of the others. Thats not good for anyone. Their reality is that they are far closer to the weakest team in the Bob o Keeffe than they are to Munster at this time. Geography doesnt come into it.
For the record, I believe that leinster made a mistake when they extended the Bob to 6 teams. It eliminated any jeopardy that existed and destroyed the round robin as a product. Its reflected in the attendance."
Traditionally counties don't get much support when they arent going well. Ive very good friends since the 90s who are or were involved in Limerick hurling and they told me that support for intercounty hurling in the county died away to nearly nothing as the 80s went on into the early 90s after 2 Munsters at the start of the decade and not even a final for years after that, and it did again in the teens.
Well thats where Offaly, Dublin and Wexford are, while Kilkenny lads are too careful with their money to waste it on anything as frivolous as paying to go see a game ;-)

Replying To SouthGalway:  "I fully agree and that was pointed out and said but what I pointed out was ignored for whatever reason. I guess it didn't suit some here. I hate war as I repeated over and over but don't treat it like it's Angel vs Devil because there's enough evil to go around. I hope the Iranian PEOPLE get what they want but I have no love at all for their Government (or Israel's). But having said that I really hope this gets over with quickly."
Perhaps you could explain what was ignored, I prioritised your point at the start of my reply. You chose one isolated incident, an incident that is also being reported as a punishment for crimes that merit the same death penalty in America, by the way.

Nobody said it was angel vs devil, but America and Israel attacked Iran during negotiations, multiple times. So stop pretending you dont see the oil/empire greedy elephant in the room please.

Armagh won the All-Ireland recently and Mayo not since 1951, hope that helps Ms Kennedy.

Some win for St Mary's 2nd year's over CBS Kilkenny in the Leinster A quarter final. 2-24-0-13, that's a big win. They face Good Counsel in the semi final next.
