I went to the antrim game yesterday which wasn't bad. It wasn't massively well attended but there was hurling the day before and a lot of underage games on between county and feile which likely took away from it (and we typically aren't the best supported anyway).

All that aside it was entertaining enough and Tipp had a few boys who'd have been among their better players a few years ago playing so good to get a win. You would suspect they are sore from losing to waterford too so maybe are trying to restore some pride. Most games went near enough as expected I think.

He can hold his own that boy.

No one is saying that the likes of a streaming service is not a revenue builder, before streaming we still had reasons to generate money, but some matches like Saturday night with everything on the line for Cork at home against the reigning champions needs viewed free

Is Gaago owned by RTE or the GAA?

Yeah but when you have rights etc involved then the games are scheduled way in advance. Did you know 2 months ago that this match was going to have riding on it what was riding on it?

On a weekend with 2 football finals, the obvious thing was for RTÉ to cover one hurling game on the Saturday and decide closer to the date which one they would cover.

Then the same thing would probably happen another week anyway. Can't really win on this one I don't think.

That's the best armagh have played in a big game. I honestly think McGeeney did a great job there. It was fine margins.

I think McAleer had a groin injury (or somewhere round there). He went off pointing at that and was going well enough before then. Good player and was playing very well.

Keenan is a real warrior - probably our best player and Jordan, as usual, no far behind.

You could also see we were obviously instructed at half time to move the ball quicker and once we did that caused them problems.Still can be exposed at the back I think too. Sweeney and the no. 18 always going to left foot and seemed to be allowed to but all in all it was a decent performance. Sweeney and the likes of O'Brien made that a much better Tipp team than had been there before.

I think the Wexford game is a big one for us. Sligo are possibly a bit ahead of us so it's the one we need and they're not bad.

Funny old game this. Direct ball in crippling Tyrone who look like they could overrun Roscommon sometimes but Roscommon really digging in there.

Well bollocks to that

They could win this or get convincingly beat. I wouldn't be surprised by either.

Your club mate in the half back line is an interesting one. Loughran back in the squad is good to see.

It would be good if they were to get up there and would kick on with the underage teams but they have a lot to prove yet for me before being talked about as being anywhere near challengers. As per other counties our leagues are glorified friendlies for a while so it's hard to tell just yet.

Team named for tomorrow. Massive game for us which will be a good marker for where we are at. Lineup looks strong.

Not sure but when they did that thing about a typical day with wicklow and then you look at what he does in the media I doubt he can have a conventional ~40 hour week or whatever job.

With Kildare I honestly think you'd have won AI in 2010 (I think?) if that chance against Down at the end went in and didn't hit the bar (that was the sequence of events IIRC). I think you'd have beat Cork in the final.

They are getting better though and I am not sure other teams are. I think you are over estimating St Brigids Caesar as I don't think they are in that group yet. (yes they're going ok in the league but very early stages for that).

Creggan 2+ years ago were the team that could challenge them but seem to have dropped off. If they can get back to their previous level then maybe they can challenge them. Jury still out for PG1 in championship (no offense BS!) too. LD not quite as good now either. They really should have beat them in Corrigan that time but Finucane basically have Cargin 2 goals. Honestly find it hard to see them being beat for a few years with the current lie of things.
