Replying To S1234: "You've a real chip on your shoulder ! A lucky promotion come off it what are you smoking?
You'd have never have seen the light in division 3 ever if it wasn't for Andy . A decent enough team thats been living in division 4 since God knows when ...
Your not good enough to beat New York just be honest like and admit it .
You will do well if you build up your S & C which is what Andy did with your guys and helped get them up to division 3 . It is bitter blaming Andy for your failings over the years.
I'm sure Andy couldn't care less either no wonder he left you lot if your all as bitter as this !" Clare you need to put in the research as it would greatly improve your quality of posting
Terry Hyland the Leitrim manager before Andy Moran also got Leitrim promoted to div 3 and gave a very good account of themselves in the Division 3 final against Derry.
Weren't good enough to beat New York under Andy Moran yet were good enough to beat New York under their previous managers. That New York team was then hammered by Sligo in their following game and Sligo played their league football In Div 4 that spring.
One of the biggest criticism I've seen from Leitrim supporters when Andy Moran was manager was about the lack of improvement on their S&C.

There been a lot of toxicity in Mayo football recently but as a Leitrim friend said…"you might think te are bad but in Leitrim it's on another level" one Leitrim poster here in the past was posting total lies about certain Leitrim players." Toxic?! That's rich coming from the county that gave us "O'Leary Gate" & currently has Croke Park managing the cheque book due to questions over sustainability of debt / tax issues. About as toxic as it comes.

Could Senior Poster Organise A Christmas Ball - 3 Like(s)
Replying To tomsmith: "Tomsmith here
Hello to all ,
Sure it looks to be a runner , why I choose Cavan is because of our Gaa tradition in Ulster in Croke Park and indeed in The Polo Grounds in Newyork in 1947 so that is International recognition for Cavan and it is not because my extended family is into accommodation.
If we agree sure we could get Hoganstand to sponsor prizes
No1 Best Senior poster who posts , informative, educational, and inspiring posts
No2 Best Junior poster
No3 Most improved poster (, ough Killing Fields could be in running ).
No4 Most egative poster , strong competition will come from Viking 66 , say nothing, Ulsterman and few more
Let me know your views" Viking66????
Have you read or heard of countyman on the Wexford board......
Viking is a great poster to be fair to him, as an immigrant in Wexford the county needs more posters and supporters like him. All seasons, Jan-Nov, he's at hurling and football. He would be worthy of supporter of the year.
Is a junior poster a former senior poster whose best days are behind him and he is now playing junior?

Replying To GDL: "Where have you been hiding? You're the lad who'd be on live line, you've been whining and putting the boot into the squad for a number of years. Nobody on the forum has the right to call out amateur players or tell them what to do. I've just got respect for the players and backroom who give so much." You do know there's a real world out there? I don't spend all my time on forums getting offended by the opinions of others.
For the record, I've never once criticised any player. Feel free to trawl through the pages to find examples where I have and all you will ever find is that I don't believe the management team are good enough to bring this team to the next level. Some people agree with me, others don't. That's fine, I won't be asking them to provide their real names if they do!

I have no idea who next Kilkenny manager will be, I doubt you do either. Henry, David Heraty, Eddie B all contenders. The committee rightly had a priority to appoint a manager for the next three years, that was what emerged from delegates at meetings, it was regarded as crucial for development. Was Kevin the best candidate therefore? Yes. There are many factors governing choosing someone in any role. For you to suggest that Kevin was ranked behind one of the other candidates was wide of the mark. A manager with two senior titles in the county versus????

Replying To TheFlaker: "Who said All Ireland? Jesus the trolls are hilarious. If Galway or Mayo played Louth, Monaghan then Meath this year they probably make the final. You seem to think that me saying Mayo or 3 or 4 other teams could make a final that i am putting them in the top 2. It's a bit simplistic. Semi final a very realistic target." IF Donegal hadn's scored that point in the last second (which Jim McGuinness admitted he didnt particularly want to) that would have been Mayos draw.
Galway had that route and lost to Meath - so you cant really say they would have made the final. Saying Mayo would is a bit of my Uncle having b@!!s and being my aunt.

Clare, Limerick, Tipperary And Waterford Ruining Munster Football And All Ireland Championship? - 1 Like(s)
Replying To legendzxix: "If the league seeding had applied this year, Clare might have wound up in the Tailteann Cup and Offaly in the All Ireland series. I think there are a few counties in other provinces who will welcome Clare having to beat a higher ranked rival to make the All Ireland series." I agree with some of the lads who reckon a 3 tier All Ireland would be better in Football.

Replying To Ollie2: "It's funny when Dublin only won one All Ireland between 1984 and 2010 no one cared when they played in Croke Park." After the 2013 final against Mayo, Dublin supporters were openly talking about Croke Park being an advantage. 2013 was the third year of Croke Park being Dublin's home league ground. There must have been some collective awakening amongst Dublin supporters of the changed dynamic.

If Dublin weren't getting Croker as a home pitch - they would have had to build a 20k stadium in Parnell park
To be honest, the GAA should take it off them as part of the deal to use Croke park and develop two big stands that can view the golf course and pitch - with Corporate boxes and charge to watch golf and Dublin football league and all hurling matches.
The league matches in Parnell were great criac. I remember a match between Mayo and Dublin in 2005, when all the Dublin kids lined up to get Ciaran McDonalds autograph - they couldnt resist the white boots and blonde hair - Mark Vaughan loved Mac so much he copied his look to make the Dublin team (and it worked).

Clare, Limerick, Tipperary And Waterford Ruining Munster Football And All Ireland Championship? - 1 Like(s)
No one cares about the munster football championship - bar a few Clare lads who played in 1992 and some Tipp lads who played in 2020.
Thats two desirable sets of medals in 40 years. The Cork lads who won in 1987 likely cared then too.
NO Kerryman every boasted about his fleet of Munster football medals. They just like a full house in Killarney every two years. When you consider their record at home (1 loss in 16 years), it doenst matter who turns up - but at lease west Cork football folk will turn up in Killarney every two years (its the closed intercounty pitch to Castletownbere).
The bigger problem is that not only are Kerry now guaranteed entry to All Ireland kickouts every year, they can now delay their peak until later - allowing them focus on winning the league. IT also gives Cork the same luxury, so they can focus on getting back to Div 1 and then worry about Kerry. They will also be seeded in that draw - ahead of 8 counties who finished higher than them in the league.
All while Mayo, Donegal, Galway, Roscommon, Tyrone, Derry, Armagh, Monaghan might have played 2 div 1 teams before they even play a provincial final and then end up playing away from home down in Cork or Killarney.
If the Munster championship is to be seeded based on league finish, then the GAA should withdraw the entitlement to Sam Maguire entry from the Munster Championship Runner up and leave it to the best placed league finisher not already qualified.

What has he done. 2024 U20 Display against Dublin was abysmal. Totally outclassed and unfit. Where did Dublin go after?" How could anyone suggest KOB was ranked third out of those candidates as you did? Leo O' Connor had a better CV but seems likely to manage Offaly next year or possibly Limerick in 2-3 years. Therefore would have been a short term appt. KOB certainly well ahead of other two men

Replying To Square_B: "Oh from the 3/4 of the team that left when Moran left? :rolleyes: God you talk such waffle. Poacher started with practically a new team. The jury is out on him also but he was left an utter mess.
Moran is the luckiest man alive, a lucky promotion that we did not deserve and did absolutely nothing for us but caused us more heartache. Should have never got the job to start with. He inherited a decent enough team but we went nowhere with him... and definitely should have been sacked after the New York.. no question. I actually want my county to do well, not be robbed and taken the **** out of... if that's me being bitter so be it, I couldn't care less." You've a real chip on your shoulder !

Replying To Seanfan: "Stop using it for League games." I have no problem with that at all. Anyway, Meath will be moving in there for a while as their stadium gets redeveloped.
I have been to plenty O'Byrne Cup games in Parnell Park watching our senior footballers.
The main stand in Parnell Park should have been expanded years ago.
But as Ollie touches upon, people moaning about us using Croke Park, when there wasnt a peep out of them before 2010, when the Dubs were relatively unsuccessful......
Oh and should we still be split in 4 and taken out of Leinster...?
Only 1 uncompetitive province at this stage.... and it aint Leinster...
Enough said....!
