Replying To Whateveryourhavingyourself: "Is Joe back playing with you??" Who is Joe when he's at home?
Maybe my question was too complicated for you. Let me simplify.
A Michael Lynch was named at corner forward for Naomh Colmcille in the report from Sunday's game. Was this farmer? Or perhaps there is another Michael Lynch playing for Naomh Colmcille.

Replying To Whateveryourhavingyourself: "I knew it wasn't hard to rattle the cage.
There are a lot of Lynch families in our area and even simple old me knows that Michael isn't an uncommon name in Donegal so what do you think yourself.
How did your A v B game go on Sunday were the two Newton lads there." Lad I have no idea what you're on about. But if you feel 'rattling the cage' of an anonymous poster on an online forum brings you a sense of achievement then work away.
Again, all I asked was a simple question. Not because I am from Convoy but because if he was back in the county he could be back in contention as a GK option for Donegal. He actually done quite well in London during the summer.
And instead of taking aim at Convoy, maybe look closer to home. Fair enough two of your lads transferred there. Understandable you feel aggrieved. But Farmer left to go to Gweedore, Devenney to Eunans. Ask why all these players are leaving? And what club is the common denominator.
Have yourself a good day, hopefully you'll rattle another cage or three and you'll go to bed a happy man.

Greatest Match You Attended - 1 Like(s)
As a Wicklow man, we haven't had many games that live long in the memory. The best involving Wicklow for me, has to be when we beat Laois in Aughrim in the Leinster when Laois were being tagged with greatness. My best memory was being in the centre of the Offaly supporters behind the Canal end goal the day Offaly put paid to Kerry's 5 in a row dream. Talk about "electric". That was truly unforgettable. When Darby scored that goal, we must have slipped down 20 steps or more in a surge. No health and safety in those days. .

Replying To Trump2020: "Yeah I'm hoping and praying Gort and Beagh survive. Sigh." Aren't the Preliminary Quarter Finals a complete waste of 2 weeks in the Intermediate and Senior Championships.
I've always maintained it should be the top two from each group straight into the Quarter Finals.
In Intermediate TAD,Eyrecourt, Kinvara and possibly Carnmore or maybe Killimor will make Semi Finals no question.
In Senior A bit more tricky with Thomas' and the 'Bridge as runners up in their group also Cappy when it comes to the Quarter Finals with big dogs Loughrea and Turlough as group winners.
But basically any team that finished 3rd in their respective group Senior or Intermediate hasn't a hope of getting to the Semi Finals.
So it's 4 weeks now till the Quarter Finals can be played because of poxy unnecessary Preliminary Quarter Finals (2nd v 3rd in Group)

Replying To puckemhard: "In fairness to all the clubs so far, think its been a great Hurling club championship . Some great games! Who do we fancy in the Senior , B, Inter and Junior
Was in Kenny Park yesterday , hard to know are St Tomas just sluggish or what , but they show some heart to get a result .Impressed with Loughrea and Turlough so far but will they have enough to get over the line . We nearly forget how close both have been in the last two years." I'd expect loughrea and Turlough to be in the Semi Finals.
Depending on the Quarter Final Draw you could have Cappy and Thomas' in the Semi Finals too.
Obviously Cappy would love to get Larkins and Thomas' would love sarsfields in the Quarter Finals!

Our Accents And Our Culture - 1 Like(s)
There's very little difference in all the faiths and they all mostly come from the same mythologies and legends. Faith is fine and I often wish I had it as people with it often appear very content. However organised religion and fundamentalists and extremists down through the centuries have exploited every faith for nefarious reasons. Ireland is no different and I personally cannot see how any moral person can associate themselves with any of our religious orders. Evil is evil and supporting it, even passively, does not strike me as something that will work in your favour in any potential afterlife

Munster Hurling Championship 2025 - 1 Like(s)
Munster will be minefield as usual. Very exiting but also nail biting for everyone.
Everyone will up their game to try topple Clare (as All Ireland Champions) and Limerick (as 6 in a row Munster champions).
I feel like Cork are now the team in the country under most pressure to actually win silverware. (Great Performances are always good, but Cork by their own admission judge themselves by Silverware and Medals won).
Waterford weren't that far away last year, and with Aussie Gleeson back and the Ballygunner boys absolutely flying it, they will be a threat (and Limerick and Clare have to go to Walsh Park which Cork found out last year is a tough task).
Tipperary will be better next year if Liam Cahill and Mikey Bevans can settle on their best team and come up with a game plan to stick to.
No free passes in Munster again.

Some Updates On The Football Review - 1 Like(s)
I really don't understand the issue with pre season competition. They will now be replaced by challenge games, which is worst of both worlds. Some of the bigger counties used them as development competitions.
Maybe some counties did pre season training for the pre season competitions instead of using them as prep for the league?

Replying To coffey: "I was in the Park Saturday evening, Tang were the better team and I thought the man in the middle struggled . The first game between Multy and Kilbeggan was poor , I can't see Multy or Rochfortbridge getting near Tubberclair or Rosemount. Tubberclair will tie up Ronan Wallace and thats the end of Multy. I think getting to the top group is as good as it gets for these 2 ." I have to agree Tang totally outplayed Athlone on Saturday evening in Cusack where people said they couldn't play. Athlone got a lucky goal that kept them in the game and few soft frees. How Tang didn't get a 45 at the end to win the match was ridiculous. They might not get the credit like other clubs on this but it's a great achievement for a small rural club being in Section A and they competed well.

Replying To Thejampot: "Both Intermediate Q/F fixed for mohill. Not a very central venue for the team involved." very hard to view a game properly in Mohill, only one side to view from and if you're not standing against the fence and if you're in anyway vertically challenged you'll miss bits of the action. Drumshanbo isn't being utilised enough, its a great facility, unless Allen Gaels aren't keen on letting it out.
