Replying To farneygael3: "named as captain and told not allowed to play by higher up. Id question the 20s management on decision to name captain. looks terrible on the sqad" Monaghan have an U20 team with aspirations of winning an All Ireland, containing some of the brightest young talent that you ever had, yet not one of them can break onto the Senior team during the current injury crisis. Looks terrible on the county.

Finbar got an All Star and young Player of the Year 2025 because he was integrated into the Donegal senior team. If ye used some of your U20's in senior squad ye might not have got relegated before the last round of fixtures.
Finbar has a lot of football played and was rested. It also give another U20 player a match.

Replying To SaffronDon: "Being hung for protesting is a tragedy. Its nearly as bad as being bombed for going to primary school in Iran. Just 180 odd Iranian kids without a political bone in their body, dead, and not one word of apology from your American idol. Give the scale of that a think, while you're highlighting atrocities." I think we can all agree war is just ugly. The absolute worst of humanity.
Technology of the last 150 years in war is the worst human achievement.

Replying To suckvalleypaddy: "It's a case of 2 wrongs don't make it right. The war is definitely a wrong choice by IsraelUSA.
Note that Iran/Hezbollah/Houthis etc try to kill everyone in Israel, not just school kids.
The Iron Dome stopped them. Time for ceasefires, though. The Strait of Hormuz is or should be international
water." How much is the war going to cost us. Diesel is going up and up.

Maybe if Monaghan did a bit more of that they wouldn't have all the injuries they have now and might have avoided relegation

Replying To Dazzler30: "Huge win for CBS. I cant stress enough how important it is for al of westmeath coaches to get behind marist and cbs players and the other talent around. So much so i think the focus on our seniors is too much they will not win anything of meaning if the goal is to compete for an all ireland at some point. yes westmeath might win a second tier comp but there has not been an underage all ireland team in a long time need to harness this youth it'll be the best chance of success. will scahill has a much higher ceiling than luke loughlin rory o brien and ormsby have higher ceilings than ray connellan thats where focus should be placed not lose these guys abroad or whatever because they lose interest in the set up." Obviously this is about the other Ray Connellan in Westmeath - not the one who has been starting for the county for the last decade and was brought into the panel at a very young age

Looking at Lebanon, why are the peacekeeping forces not engaging with the Israeli forces who crossed over into the Leb or Hezbollah who fired rockets at Israel?
Maybe I am missing a piece of the puzzle here, but I thought the whole point of UN peacekeeping forces in any region was to intervene when violence flares up, but seen news images of the UN Peacekeepers being ordered to hide inside their camp.

Dont know what the outside world thinks of
the UK's stance but I can see that from the off
senior Irish figures have said that what Israel is
doing is wrong. Starmer seems to have belatedly
attempted to distance himself from Israel/USA's
actions which wont do his Poll ratings any harm.
This special relationship is laughable. There has not
been one for years. Would have been better maintaining
stronger ties with Europe but that is a problem with
democracy. Everyone gets their say and the masses
spoke a number of years ago to the eternal regret.
of some of us. Anyway at least the Championship is
round the corner. Would have lovedto be in Omagh this Sunday
to watch the parents counties do battle but missing it by
a week.

Peacekeeping UN mandate only. Peace inforcement a different ball gane. No way will such a mandate be passed bu UN Security Council will be vetoed by US in this case.

Replying To legendzxix: "They should grow a pair and push for an expanded Leinster. It is a Leinster matter.
1. Antrim home semi final v Westmeath
2. Carlow home semi final v Laois
3. Laois
4. Westmeath
--------
5. Down
6. Kerry
7. Meath
--------
8. London relegated to Ring.
GAA HQ were considering a later Joe Mac final a few years back if the preliminary quarter finals were chopped. Would like to see a later Joe Mac final back on the agenda with 2 more counties included." If that ever happens then leinster should be stripped of one of their all ireland series places. Only the leinster finalists qualifying for the quarter finals or something like that.
The reason for the introduction of the christy ring, Nicky Rackard and Lory Meagher cup championships and later the Joe McDonagh is to ensure merit based competition. I get that you dont like it that Kerry are now in the Christy Ring cup but if your proposition ever sees the light of day then the Bob O Keefe cup will become the Joe McDonagh and will have to be treated accordingly.
