Do Kerry Get Frees A Bit Too Easy? - 2 Like(s)
Replying To Onion_Sack: "Now in the nicest way possible and correct me if I'm wrong on this but should it not be "Do Kerry Get Free's A Bit Too Easy?"? Without the apostrophe it becomes the present tense 3rd person singular of "free" as in to "free" someone? So to put that into a headline type sentence it could be something like "Sean O'Shea frees himself from the County Panel due to issues with the current manager!", to inform us of the current situation down yonder? Just as an example like!, as they say next door!?" No, with the apostrophe it wouldn't make any sense. Frees in this case isn't the present tense 3rd person singular of free, but the plural of the noun free, in this case a free-kick.

New Format 2026 All Ireland - 1 Like(s)
At the end of the day, provincial winners were the only counties to go direct to the All Ireland quarter finals. All others had to negotiate the qualifier route. As league qualification has now essentially replaced the traditional qualifiers - provincial winners only should be qualifying through provinces. All others based on league qualification. Provinces themselves want to reward provincial winners. Crazy to reward provincial winners and runners up the same. All provinces regardless of seeding etc. can only produce one winner.

Replying To dave1988: "No we didn't give up many goal chances last weekend but I do think we give the player shooting so much space and time With no pressure or anything on them. That won't work In a couple of weeks. I was very optimistic at the start of the year with everyone back playing we have a strong panel but can anyone say we have improved in the last couple of years? I think we are gone backwards and look like a team lost in attack and defense. I know lots on here are saying wait and judge us on championship form but the same was said last year and even though we got to last 8 we beat a poor Tyrone team to get there. Il be praying our lads can turn on when it matters most but it's not that easy" I'd agree with that and ur right we said the same last year during league campaign
For me it's not even about winning so much as form and competitiveness and a bit of toughness about us - none of the top teams will fear us come championship whilst we got the win against a Tyrone team in disarray we folded totally against Armagh in the qtr finals last year - and unfortunately I'm not convinced that's going to change this year so whether we get to a qtr final or last 16
Or whatever - it's the going out with a whimper is the really frustrating thing and it really is starting to feel like a team that's never really fulfilled it's potential but we'll see
Hope the weather stays like this for the weekend in London ! When all Is said and done I love supporting the rossies enjoy the weekend anyone travelling !

Replying To Aibrean: "You need to produce some evidence and, like McStay, not make wild statements.
The game is on TG4 Player; have a look and come back with specific incidents where Kerry got frees they did not deserve and where Mayo did not get frees that they deserved.
I do remember:
Reape hitting Clifford and not being penalised, Aiden O Shea being penalised 3 times in about 5 minutes just after half time and not getting a card (one of which was nasty enough on Jason Foley) and Paul Geaney having to go off after a blow to the head.
I'll have a look at the game and come back with some evidence." Reape got a yellow card for the shoulder on Dave Clifford after Coldrick consulted the linesmen. Seemingly Gucci, Versace and DKNY were referenced in that conversation. Dave had a lovely relaxing lie down for himself trying to influence the colour, then made a Lazarus-like recovery to rejoin the action. Surprised some milking machine ad didn't appear on TG4 for the duration of his recuperation from such a horrendous challenge! Every county are at it to varying levels. Used to be the falling over holding the face so the ref would stop play to kill the opponents momentum. But we shouldn't be surprised.

Replying To joeman123: "What a stupid ignorant comment.
How I wish we were even half as successful as Monaghan.
Well done to Andy Moran too.He has their forwards flying.
We had a few contributors on here during his tenure looking for his head and saying he didn't know what he was doing!!!!!!!!
Enough said, let's move on .Despite the gloom I think we have the nucleus of a good young team emerging.
Let's all pull together." Jesus Joe, still deluded I see. I could probably coach a few Monaghan forwards and that's not saying much. Moran brought us the 2nd lowest point in our footballing history, our current man the lowest so away with the fan club nonsense Joe.

It's laughable that some Mayo posters are butthurt about some Clifford cuteness after lauding Cillian O'Connor for similar for years. Indeed COC did it to a level probably unseen before or since in the game and it was the main thing that turned him from an average footballer to an effective footballer

Not much to it.
Excel spreadsheet:
Worksheet1:
Column 1 = player name
Column 2 = week 1 score
Column 3 = week 2 score
etc
Last column = total score (Just a basic sum function here to tally up the points from week 1, week 2, etc
Worksheet 2:
I copy out the player name column and e.g. week 1 score column
Sort it on cell values largest to smallest
This gives me the weekly scores by player in descending order
Worksheet 3:
I copy out the player name column.
Then I copy and paste the scores from the total score column into note pad first. Copy them all again from notepad into an Overall score column in worksheet 3.
Sort it on cell values largest to smallest
This gives me the overall scores by player in descending order.
There is undoubtedly a smarter way of doing it using Excel but this worked for me.
Drawback is I have to manually add everyone's scores each Sunday night/Monday morning.

It took decades of both Parties abusing the taxpayers to accumulate this National Debt so of course I don't expect it to be solved anytime soon but I believe DOGE is a step in the right direction.

Maybe best you do a little research for yourself. Kilkenny compete in the AI Junior Championship as it is. Since it restarted after covid in 2022 they have won it once, and reached 1 of the 2 other finals, only losing by a point."]Time for them to rejoin the league. No excuse what so ever. The Junior Championship is a tin pot cup with a handful of participants. A pointless cup."]Maybe they don't want to play in a competition that they might have to disrespect by conceding a walkover?

WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump on March 28 vowed the United States would assist Myanmar after it was hit by a huge earthquake, following a rare plea for aid by the South-east Asian nation's ruling junta.
"It's terrible," Mr Trump told reporters in the Oval Office about the quake when asked if he would respond to the appeal by Myanmar's military rulers.
"It's a real bad one, and we will be helping. We've already spoken with the country."" He'll probably charge them for the aid.

Replying To reffingmad: "We were way off on Saturday night, was nothing to do with fitness levels,
Every game this year we have coughed up 4 or 5 goal chances, same again on Saturday.
Our goalie kicked 2 straight out of play.
We didn't create a goal chance of note.
We should get over london but I'd be very worried what Galway do to us." We certainly did not give up 4 or 5 goal chances to Monaghan last Saturday and we created more chances ourselves. I don't really remember Conor Carroll having to carry out major saves either. The 6 two pointers (12 points - equivalent to four goals) won the match for Monaghan. Having been at all league matches, one major issue is that we have not taken several clear cut goals chances over the league, primarily by our forwards shooting too high (easy to save) or wide. I was in Croke Park on Saturday and Sunday and the four teams that won (Limerick, Monaghan, Offaly, Kerry) took the majority of their goal chances.
Some additional shooting practice is required rather than blame the defence all the time.
Work is required at both end's of the pitch which is achievable.

Replying To tirawleybaron: "The New format for the 2026 All Ireland will probably last in format, but not in qualification.
As long as the 4 losing interprovincial finalists get auto entry to the Sam Maguire, you dont have a proper merit based qualification. In any year where Mayo/Galway and Roscommon are on the same side of the draw in Connacht and where Kerry and Cork are on the same side in Munster, your getting auto qualification for teams who aren't good enough for that standard. A similar scenario would be the case in Leinster if Louth/Meath and Dublin had been on the same side of the draw this year." Yeah, losing Provincial finalists is not a high enough qualifying standard for the All Ireland.
