Under 16 girls going very well in the All Ireland final.
10 points up at half time and a bit of a cross wind in their favour in the second half. Aisling Kennedy outstanding in the first half. Defence also playing well.
Looking good at this moment in time but anything can happen at underage.
Great to see such Roscommon support fir the team in Kinnigad tonight.

Replying To Fionn: "Surely it is time to remove those plastic abominations at this stage….
Restricted View - no wonder no one wants to stand on the first few rows of the Hill…!" Devil's advocate here, but isn't it a bit of a chicken and egg situation?
Basically, the screen was erected to prevent pitch invasions from The Hill, because rightly or wrongly, it was felt that crowds there couldn't be trusted as much to stay off the pitch as people in other parts of the ground.
And for so long as the people going there show that they can't be trusted to obey the directions of stewards, to not bring in flares, and to not throw bottles and other items around, it'd be hard to trust them to stay off the pitch as well.
And as for "overcrowding" issues....I've been on The Hill for a couple of All-Ireland Hurling Finals, when it would have been every bit as full as for the football matches last weekend. Go in early enough - i.e. maybe an hour before the game - and you'll get a decent spot all right.
The problems are mainly caused by too many people leaving it to the last few minutes to try get in there at all, often because they're gulping another pint or two first, and then not moving on far enough from the access points when they do get in, thus blocking others from gaining access at all.

Bit of a false narrative emerging that England made substitutions and lost control. In actual fact, England lost control from 55mins to 72mins as well, before any substitutions were made. Nobody seems to be analysing why keymen like Kane and Rice had no legs after 55mins. England had no control, no offence, no outball, and minimal possession after they went 1-0, and Tuchal waited a whole 17mins looking at this disturbing trend, before any substitution was made to try and stick fingers in their deteriorating dykes.

A fantastic result over the weekend for the panel and county in general. This team has been much maligned for being unable to hold a lead etc over recent years. However there ability to come from behind is truely unmatched. This does speak to a believe system McConville seems to have instilled in the camp.
The crowds of Wicklow People in Croke Park on Saturday was great to see. It was also fantastic to see the smiles on the people who have travelled to league games and championship games down through the years with little to no success (there numbers often very few). Promotion (as it always is) is paramount next year, and it would be great to see even a % of Saturdays support out shouting us on for the this.
Regarding McConville, as many will know here he does a Podcast with Tommy Niblock of Maggerafelt on BBC. On Sundays episode McConville was obviously worse for wear but said he has zero interest in the Armagh job. If hes to stay on it will be a decesion he comes to with his family (and I hope he does). In a worse case scenario where he doesnt, Mickey Harte would be worth having a chat with. He seen us in all our glory in the semi final.

Replying To Seniorleague: "Kerry will improve immensely sunday week.
Fionns clever mind games on here the last 2 weeks clearly affected Kerrys preparation, injecting an air of complacency into the squad. Reading his posts, they began to believe the hype and believed it was just a matter of turning up,,and they almost paid the price.
Surely they wont make the same mistake twice." If you want I will do the same for the Limerick hurlers this weekend.
Hopefully the same full time outcome….

Correct. Tuchel will be the sole scapegoat and easy target, but the players themselves have to take a huge amount of the blame. They hardly put two passes together after they scored. Tuchel definitely made some poor calls also, but the players have to take the bulk of the responsibility.
There were 35 minutes left when they scored, and we had 9 minutes of injury time. Argentina had 88% possession in that time, which is staggering, and a large chunk of it in England's half in and around the box.
A bit of luck and they could have held out, and people would be hailing a backs to the wall performance. But they made a rod for their own backs by completely retreating.
Compare that to Spain who continued to be brave after scoring the first goal against France on Tuesday. They kept doing what they knew gave them the best chance and trusted themselves. They ended up neutralising France completely, got the second goal and were unlucky not to get another.
As with 4 years ago, people have questioned Argentina's quality. They're not going to overwhelm teams and will even struggle with teams they should be beating more comfortably, but that's not how to judge a team with their characteristics.
They are incredible battlers, will give a match to anyone and then have some real quality in key moments. This team has character in spades. How they dug in 4 years ago in the final when France equalised is still one of the most impressive things I've seen in soccer. Most teams would have folded in that scenario, but they actually got back on top in the game and the rest is history. Spain will be favourites, but I'd be surprised if they get anything easy on Sunday. I expect Argentina to give them a much bigger challenge than France did.
Looking forward to it.

I sat down with a few beers with my Kerry pal and we seen full game again.After a few arguments and rewinding and pausing we still did nr agree fully.We both agree that the goal was square ball but the other decisions made us argue.
I will admit that I cant 100% say the ball was over the line but I would award it.My pal pointed out though that this came originally from a line ball that should have been to Kerry but thats pushing it.We both seen though Scully was lucky not to be sent off.
I think the peno was very soft but my pal said if its a free and its in the box its a pen and he showed iy was more of a free than our first free where POCB was fouled.Basquel did get a pointbwhich came from Cossie who clearly double hopped and got away with it but young Clifford got a point ehen it looked like McMorrow was pushed.All in all after rewatchingnIm not as angry anymore and maybe we did nt deserve it and we kicked too many simple wides.On the rewatch I thought Howard was unreal and McMorrow and the backs were warriors.Im very positive for next year and Ger seems to have the smarts.I was very happy with Comerford too Davy was like a man posessed.I know young Clifford scored a bit but that was the best job I seen on him.Looking forward to McGinness and Nathan Doran next year and the world will look brighter and blue again.Very proud of the lads Sunday.

We can relax now and enjoy hopefully a good game on Sunday. I have a great grá for Spain in general, a fantastic country. But Argentina winning wouldn't bother me either, they're some bit of stuff. Bucketloads of character.
