Replying To Farneylad275849: "Was at the Cremartin Maghercloone game and young Kieran's and the Cremartin goalkeeper clashed going for a 50:50 and has lost teeth apparently, wasn't wearing a gum shield the referee cud be heard saying warning both teams to put one in, surely every player must be wearing a gum shield in games there's no excuse for it, your not covered by insurance otherwise" I get your point, but maybe better not to post the name of the lad involved? You cannot definitively say either that a referee warning players to use gumshields proves the lad himself wasn't wearing one.

Replying To Pope_Benedict: "If they're a class apart, they should be winning the allireland this winter, and winning the Galway and Connacht championships with some ease in the next few weeks." Why do you think they'll win Galway and Connacht with some ease?
Mis-matches such as that semi-final at the weekend doesn't give full judgement of a team.
As I said about All-Ireland inter county championship when teams get hammered in the last four stage as was the case with Louth and Meath it pretty much tells you their isn't anymore than three genuine contenders in that competition and that appears to be the case in Galway with Salthill Moycullen and Corofin the contenders and well ahead of the rest.
Last year Moycullen beat Salthill by two points in the final and I would expect a similar competitive final this time.
Should Moycullen win they will likely face St Brigids in the semi-final who beat them last year. Next two games if they have two games will give full judgement on Moycullen

A few one sided county final scorelines at the weekend, Longford, Laois and Wicklow and Tullamore won relatively comfortably in Offaly . Meanwhile very little in the Sligo and Westmeath finals and Leitrim's has to go to a replay.
Nice to see a few clubs who hadn't won a county title in a while, Clonduff in Down their first in 26 years, Clonguish in Longford a first in 17 years, St Marys winning Sligo for the first time in 11 years and the biggest famine coming to an end was An Tóchar winning Wicklow for the first time in 31 years. Kilcoos 14 year dominance in Down only broken by Clonduff this year and Burren 8 years ago. Portarlington have now done a 6 in a row and Tullamore have done a 4 in a row.

Replying To mintyfresh: "What are the chances he would go in with footballers? He has been very loyal to the hurlers, especially the last few years. Didn't Dessie try to bring him in his last year? I think he would be a great addition and no better man than Mark McHugh to try and get him involved." Was he not in with the footballers at the start of the year last year? But couldn't shake a niggling injury and so stepped away to deal with it?

Replying To UnbiasedAndHighlyEducated: "Agreed. It seems a few of the 'hair boys are looking to stir the pot
Whilst I think the inter final will be closer than many think, Dromahair will not be able to keep up with Annaduff. Lot of focus on Cox, are we forgetting that Annaduff have 6 - 8 very capable forwards outside of him? A fine mix of youth and experience, strong through the lines, plenty of different options to bring in. Annaduff would beat Dromahair without Cox. Of that I am sure.
Dromahair have a couple of tricky forwards. If it becomes a shootout, Annaduff by 10. If Dromahair batted down the hatches and are hard to play through, they will run them tight.
Annaduff bench to make all the difference. Duffers by 5. Thanks so millions" Agreed if it's a shootout rather then a war of attrition that most teams try to deploy when faced with Annaduff, Dromahair will be punished badly. Melvin got the most change outta them by defending then fast countering, when they went all out attack, they were cut open from the turnover. Duff also have 3/4 forwards to spring from the bench if their starters tire or injure so I don't see a way for Dromahair other than trying to keep it as low scoring as possible when they don't have the wind

Replying To Dennis_Maroon95kg: "How'd you figure that one out??" Athlone drew with Tubberclair. You can't rank teams purely on head to head or results, just because St Loman's beat Kinnegad by 10 points and Tubberclair brought St Loman's to extra time doesn't mean Tubberclair will beat Kinnegad. Different teams have different strengths, weaknesses, playing styles etc. Form, injuries, conditions and performances can also be influential.
