Replying To BarneyGrant: "The most laughable aspect of all this is that lads who are all "Oh, let us welcome everyone from everywhere" would have a fit if 300 lads from Dublin or their own county town rocked up to their local hotel and decided they were going to stay there." 300 lads arriving from Dublin as like minded as you? I'll take my chances with 300 mystery guests every day of the week.

I often find the people who are most liberal about this issue are the ones it will never effect.

Jack McCurrin should have chosen Errigal Ciaran when he had the chance.

Taking a year out at 33?" Typical Mayo. More interested in sideshows and me feiners than shoulder to the wheel. Looking forward to O Horas retirement statement…yawn

It's a massive two fingers to the current management setup. Mayo won't be doing anything in 2025. Relegation from Div 1 wouldn't be a shock. Backwards we are going." James Carr, Plunkett confirmed tonight. Tommy Conroy out injured until late spring another blow.

Pat Gilroy Resigns From Croke Park Role - 1 Like(s)
Replying To SaffronDon: "My memory of the show isn't completely fresh but the Sunday Game did a program about how to improve the future of the GAA for all counties, right in the midst of Dublin GAA cleaning up everything in football. Gilroy and Andy Mac from Meath were guests and Gilroy spent most of his time doubling down on ways to maximise more potential in Dublin while suggesting the rest of Ireland sort their own houses out. A GAA man he may be, but he didn't strike me as being overly interested in much outside his own blue flock." I think he sees other sports as a rival unlike outside of Dublin. I heard he was totally against GAA letting rugby play in the grounds. I can imagine he wasn't to happy when Leinster rugby had more fans in croke park this year than the Dubs.

Replying To veterngaa: "Exactly. Too any men here lamenting our club scene as if it has a connection to Ulster club.. Donegal prime example and Tyrone senior club teams also. It's about the collective not the individual players. We will see where we are at next April." Look I hope you're right, I'm not for a second saying I hope to see the county team struggle - but when you've the backbone of the county team getting thoroughly gutted in a club match it raises a few concerns.
Time will tell weather I'm being overly critical and concerned.
Additionally I agree with another poster that things are cyclical - clubs fortunes do rise and fall but I personally see it as a bit concerning that nearly all the "heavyweights" over the last 20 years are trending downwards.
Having said that I'd personally love to see the likes of Aughnamullan, Killanny or Donamoyne win a few senior championship's. Would be a well deserved kick up the hole for some of the clubs with bigger populations for resting on their laurels.

CTG can hold their heads high on a great performance Thought Conor murphy really took the game on in the first half and the injury to O reilly was tough for castletown when needing them scores at the end. Hopefully can build on this and come back stronger next year.

Replying To mick2007: "Taking last nights match in isolation, it was a mismatch in terms to pace, power, scoreline and general football ability so if you call that bashing well so be it…even someone like you couldn't argue with that…… more worryingly for everyone is the fact that apart from Beggan, McCarthy and jack as an impact sub there's nobody else anywhere near the required intercounty standard on show last night so I certainly don't envy Brannigans job…dominating the local club scene in what's the worst standard of club championship in the last 20 years isn't helping anyone…" 100% agree. I've been scoffed at on this sub for trying to put a finger on what's going wrong in Monaghan football but the fact is that we're about to enter some lean, lean years.
Our clubs scene is atrocious at the minute - jerseys for old men everywhere, almost every club is relying on hero's who were fantastic 15 years ago but really and truly should have moved on by now.
When Monaghan football was on the rise during Banty's first time and when malachy came in at first you had Magheracloone, Latton, Clontibret, Ballybay, Harps, Scotstown and to a certain extent Blayney and Donamoyne all flying with big numbers, exciting young talent and good representation on the county team - now you have Scotstown with 7-9 men on the county team, winning the senior championship at a canter and getting obliterated by youth and speed once they get out into open waters.
Facts are facts, at all level's of adult football, across all of the clubs there's been a massive decline in the quantity AND quality of good young footballers coming through.
Where's the next Conor, Darren/Kieran, Tommy/Damien, the wylies, Duffys, etc?..
Div.3 awaits.

Replying To Saynothing: "Love watching Ruairi, keeps his head up and keeps shooting even if he misses a couple, and plays with a smile. Darragh, different kind of player who gets dragged all over the place and bounces up looking more. Definitely harsh on Kelly but to win things you need a bit of luck." Agree totally Saynothing.Tbh I love watching the boys as I did their Dad.Just dont want to see them v Kerry ha ha!.Both Ruari and Darragh make watching Gaelic football a joy.

Why not support the new suppler and get on with it
I am no expert on jerseys and I haven't seen it yet ,except in photos.However the feedback I am getting is very positive, unlike the criticism om this forum.
." I have Gaelic armour gear and I'd question the quality. As would any parent when after 7 washes it has to be replaced.

Replying To jm25: "I'd have to agree with original poster he is energetic and wholehearted but has no scoring threat now I was wrong with Maher and Darcy rejoining so hopefully he will be another.
We must have 10 solid options who would prefer to be in midfield should we look at trying one as another 14 with new rules like Kerry did with Tommy Walsh as an alternative to comer.
Conroy Maher Cooke mcdaid Darcy Egan McLaughlin the 2 O'Neill arguably tierney would all prefer to play midfield
Hernon & Kelly also play a bit out there or will we have too many square pegs in round hole." Nail on the head.
We have an abundance of middle third players at the moment. Lots of really good players.
We could do with a few more scoring options inside.
We are very dependent on Damo and Shane to the point we played them when they were clearly unfit.
Getting the balance right will make or break Galway. Square pegs (although very good square pegs!!) and round holes could be the issue!
