Yes there was a scoreboard where it usually is. You obviously don't go to many games when you don't know where the scoreboard is in our county grounds but thank you for highlighting this." Get a life lad.

Replying To veterngaa: "The fair weather supporters! Only out about when their is hint of success. That's the Donegal way. Azzuri jerseys. Think I heard some supporters wonder what the new rules were lol" Cop yourself on. You probably didnt attend many of the Monaghan games this year, because if you did, you would know all about fair weather fans. Outnumbered 10 to 1 by Donegal fans in our own home in Clones for the final game of the league. Embarrassing it was. I suspect you dont attend that many of the United Parishes games either, judging by your knowledge of the Monaghan GAA scene.

We are 7/2 with the bookies and their punters. No doubt have taken the fixture scheduled advantage our neighbours have however should we get close to matching our Seniors shooting efficiency from last Sunday then we'll have a right good chance of upsetting those odds once again.
The best of luck to Cian Smith and his young Rossies in Tuam tomorrow night.

Hopefully Katie gets her wish for her Final fight to be held in Croke Park." But not at the expense of the GAA, if Eddie can't stump up the money, the Aviva is available but I can't see that being much cheaper.

Hurling Championship 2026 - 2 Like(s)
Replying To Claretandblue: "The size of your population and one All Ireland in 38 years, the ones ye won before that involved two matches so look after yourselves firstly. Not exactly Kilkenny, Cork or Tipp" As per Galway in 2017 it was one of the greatest hurling teams ever assembled. Not even the best westmeath hurler (whoever that is) would get a sniff of that galway panel never mind the team. In regards to our previous success, we can only beat whats in front of us we can do nothing about physical geography. And if you want to talk about records against the big times, Westmeaths isnt exactly prestine. Also has to be taken into account that Galway is a successful dual county which is a bit different to westmeath as they are a dual county but without the success. Only one real maroon county !
Hon the Tribesmen!!!!

Last game of the league, in Clones. We were assured of a league final and had a long trip to Croker the following week.
YET, we out numbered the Monaghan home 'support' by 3 to 1.
Riddle me that one?

Replying To Onion Breath: "Unlucky from the minor footballers tonight v a highly rated Westmeath team. Wasn't there but saw it on clubber.
Lost by two with WH only hitting the front for the first time with about 5 to go after we had led them by 7 at one stage.
Some nice footballers on that Carlow team and they seem really well drilled and coached. Westmeath beat Kerry in a recent challenge match and beat the Dubs in the group stages so it was a tough ask to winning there. Hopefully these lads can now give the all Ireland C which they now enter a good rattle." Really really unlucky, Westmeath goalie had the game of his life. Team and management deserve a lot of credit.

Replying To Magpie2: "Barrett was asked several times to join the panel by Keith and he refused each time.
If he's not interested then that's it." I get that but I think my post was in reply to another post which suggested that the Martin's players outside of Rory weren't up to the level required for intercounty (Could be mistaken on that one admittedly), it wasn't about whether it's realistic that he will hurl for Wexford next year (He in all likelihood won't)

Hopefully Katie gets her wish for her Final fight to be held in Croke Park." No disrespect whatsoever to Katie Taylor, but I have to wonder if she really would attract 80,000 to Croke Park, particularly if tickets aren't priced relatively cheaply.
And seems that according to others here, no point in fighting in Croke Park if the actual crowd would "only" be around 35,000 to 40,000. Sure the place would feel empty....!

Replying To The_analyser: "Majority of your posting on here over the years has been on the Longford thread than on here. Have you even posted during the league campaign on here, I don't recall any post yet now you are very excitable now and even on the Galway thread trying to get a rise out of them." Oddball is free to express himself on this forum as a Roscommon supporter, or as a gael in general. Let's not police each other on how often we post, or try to suppress each other's excitement after such a spectacular win like that. There's so much positivity with our team at the moment and that's where our energy should be going.

Replying To Tacaí Liatroma: "That's absolutely correct. I didn't see a gigantic scoreboard in the scoreboard end of the ground in Carrick. I did see a very large hoarding advertising something, I can't remember what. I thought maybe it was an electronic scoreboard, but alas it never changed. As I said, there was a big tower just outside the shed and it clearly obscured my view. I don't live in Leitrim any more, and if you go back a couple of pages you'll see this was my first game in Carrick in a long time.
And I was including those who make a skit out of Leitrim in my criticism." Just a pity now you didn't find another spot in the 95% of the ground not being blocked by this hoarding, shame really but hopefully it didn't ruin your visit to the game otherwise. From my view the scoreboard was excellent.
I didn't notice you mentioning other county people in your criticisms but fair enough

Replying To TrueBlue35: "Yeah the Con issue keeps rearing it's head re injuries. Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if he jacks it in after this season. I do think we will beat Louth on Saturday though, if all the negative talk since the win over Wicklow does not light a fire inside each and every squad member then I don't know what will! A good win against tough opposition would be just what's needed to get this squad up and running, build some confidence and start looking ahead. I don't even want to contemplate a loss." I don't think anyone can fault their spirit. They have never given up in any game. They are just not good.
Will probably go down on Saturday as it is first time for a long time that a Dublin football team is in one of those Al Pacino moments where they are facing existential life or death on the pitch!
Expect there will be a big crowd and hope they can come out the right side of what could be one of the games of the year.

New Rules - 1 Like(s)
Replying To Fionn: "I think your last line pretty much sums up how games seem to be going now, with the new rules...
Midfield wins you the game, the forwards by how much
Have to say, this crowded midfield we now see is not a great spectacle.
Bodies everywhere - lads bulling through to get the ball.
I wouldn't be surprised if we see a tweak in the rules, coming down the line." Maybe 2 x 2 midfielders in midfield zone for kick outs only...... regardless of where keeper kicks it ??????????

Replying To Timbertony: "He had potential but he's not a huge loss either. Very limited on the ball. That's another problem in the team, even when there is good movement close to goal the deliveries in can be very average. Mind you Chin's movement inside and first touch was very poor the last day. The top forwards like Gillane have no problem with a high ball going in and he's usually outnumbered too. He's not the quickest either but it's about movement in there not speed. Chin didn't make it stick and Redmond was lost next to him.
Early on with Rossi we had likes of Casey and Cian Byrne inside and that forced a change of tactics. We were forced to work the ball short and play diagonal ball into them. Then likes of Chin and Mac returned and we went back to the Tony Doran route one tactics." He needs to improve on the ball but I'd rather that than a corner-back who's good on the ball but struggles to mark his man

I think the Louth game could give is a true indication of where we are at....
Hearing Con is a major doubt for it.
Injuries seem to be happening very regularly to him this last couple of seasons, unfortunately.
As for our hurlers, thankfully we have Kilkenny in the Neller. The place will be packed.
The game away to Wexford will be a cracker also tbh.
With away to Galway sandwiched in between.
A tough 3 consecutive weeks..." Yeah the Con issue keeps rearing it's head re injuries. Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if he jacks it in after this season.

Football Format Changes Discussion - 1 Like(s)
Replying To Expertinall: "We might be seeing a natural separation developing between provincial and all ireland.
There is just no way anyone can compare Downs route, and say Corks? This separation is the way forward, previous league positions put you in 16 team all-ireland, with a promotion and relegation in play. Pick a format of play after that. Too simple maybe??" Why not?
Cork are in Sam regardless of Provincial performance due to their league position. Afaik Down need to qualify for an ulster final to be certain of a place in Sam. This is, again, as a result of league position. Isn't that how it should be?
