Quote from: Blowitupref on May 17, 2022, 05:57:54 PMSince Mayo aren't involved in the equation, yes.
Will Galway regardless who they play get home advantage in semi final for finishing 2nd in the table?

It's all the dinosaurs in the Gah who do this
2 u13's told if they were joining a Dublin school boy club to give up all other sport as a condition of them joining
Currently 5 u15's in Offaly barred by Athlone Town from playing GAA
GAA as per usual held to a different standard than the rugby and soccer
Except it's not,in the instance of the 2 u13's I can name both the players the soccer club and the manager as the manager was my brother in law
If my claim about the 5 u15s in Clara is wrong
prove me wrong
https://twitter.com/pauldeeh19/status/1512177760088829957
I'm not sure what more evidence is needed as I'd also know those involved and it stacks up.
I'd expect BB2 is in denial of anything that might run counter his perma-victim mindset when it comes to Irish domestic soccer.
Again. A bloke on Twitter.
I'm not in denial. I'm asking for people to back up their claims. But it's whataboutery. We are on a GAA forum discussing an incident in the GAA.
Not just any bloke
Paul Deehan is the manager of that particular Clara team and he has said on Twitter that it's 100% that 5 of his u15 team are being prevented from playing Gaelic Football by Athlone Town Fc
The question for you now is quite simple
Do you want to climb out of the hole you've dug for yourself
Or
Do you want to stay digging and look an even bigger fool than you already are?
If that is true he needs to kick up a fuss. The FAI will not back that position.
But just because other codes may or may not be doing something does not deflect from the topic in hand and the contradictory statements from the Offaly CB.
Sligo Rovers at it as well
asking players to sign contracts at u15 and instructing them to play no other sport
Quote from: J70 on March 01, 2022, 05:46:50 PMDom Corrigan got heaved in Sligo after losing to Tipp and Waterford at the start of the 2006 league.
Is sacking Farrell a real prospect? And not extremely harsh if it came to that?
Not sure I can remember a GAA manager being removed halfway through a season, with the exception of Babs Keating quitting way back in the 90s when the Offaly squad basically kicked him out and went on (with the aid of Jimmy Cooney's early whistle) to win an All Ireland.
Quote from: JoG2 on February 23, 2022, 12:58:04 PMBy contrast we haven't won a game of any real consequence since that one. Funny how things can turn.Quote from: tbrick18 on February 23, 2022, 12:03:08 PMQuote from: Aristo 60 on February 22, 2022, 07:45:41 PM
My two 5cents on the above are 1) it must be hard being a derry fan and 2) should Down's record not put them on par with Meath
It is.
But sure it's hard being a fan of any team that isn't consistently competing at the top.
The hardest thing about being a Derry fan is the years of under-achievement given the quality of players that have passed through the senior ranks. The knowing that we should have done better. There are many reasons why we didn't, but certainly lack of quality players was not one of those reasons, IMO.
March 2018, leaving Markievicz Park shell shocked in what was a relegation play off, Div 4 secured! Alot can happen in a few years with the right men in place
Quote from: Blowitupref on February 19, 2022, 04:23:28 PMIt might be new enough but then so was the pitch in Cork and that turned out to be a mess that had to be re-done. It's not been in the best of shape the last few times I seen it so wouldn't be overly optimistic, been plenty of rain here all evening.Quote from: Itchy on February 19, 2022, 02:57:06 PMRain shouldn't be a problem its a new pitch in Markievicz Park.Quote from: Westside on February 19, 2022, 12:02:29 PMQuote from: armaghniac on February 18, 2022, 10:52:30 PMQuote from: Westside on February 18, 2022, 09:50:06 PMQuote from: Look-Up! on February 18, 2022, 09:26:58 PMQuote from: Westside on February 18, 2022, 09:08:12 PMWhy exactly would I dismiss our performances last year against Fermanagh, Derry and Wicklow? Those performances still need to be moved on from and that needs to be done by showing something more on the football field. We're still struggling to surpass the 15 point mark and don't look like scoring goals. And it's not obvious yet who the forwards will be to change that.Quote from: Look-Up! on February 18, 2022, 08:50:56 PMQuote from: Westside on February 18, 2022, 08:29:37 PMI've actually mentioned every single one of those in this thread. Don't think it's me being choosy with the facts.
You are choosing where to put context very carefully. No mention of 2019 when we got to the Ulster final. No mention that a lot of our players unlike Sligo have Division 1 and 2 experience. No mention of how Sligo have been going over the past few years.
We aren't world beaters for sure, but we are favourites for this game and there is no evidence that this game is 50:50. We are strongly expected to win this narrowly.
Did they deduct an Ulster when we hit Div 4?
Yes you had Cavan's far superior experience and success on one hand and Sligo being at home and "going well" on the other. Those things do not balance out.
I think this game will be close, I wouldn't be massively shocked if Sligo won. But there's no basis in fact for branding this a 50:50 game. If Sligo win it will be an upset.
And yes Sligo are going well. Their points difference alone is almost our total scoring tally this season. They are inconsistent and may well fall flat against us but they were unlucky last year losing narrowly to Antrim for promotion though the Louth game is one they'll want to forget. So I agree with you, I've actually stated numerous times now that I have Cavan as slight favourites but the quoted odds represent great value for a punter.
Are Cavan not going better than Sligo? Narrow loss to the side now top of Div 1, hammered AI Champions, ground out a win against Leitrim in awful conditions, a more comfortable win against Wexford than Sligo had. Don't see how Sligo's form trumps that. Unless you're putting a lot of stock in that Carlow victory.
Sligo have a Crossmaglen man managing them.
We all make mistakes.
Anyone know if the game is in danger due to weather?
I'd say it has to be in danger and more rain promised too.
Quote from: Mayo4Sam on January 09, 2022, 10:38:37 PMBe far better to fill Ballina than drag your supporters over to Carrick for a "home" game.Quote from: Blowitupref on January 09, 2022, 10:22:19 PMQuote from: Mayo4Sam on January 09, 2022, 09:28:09 PMQuote from: Blowitupref on January 09, 2022, 07:38:47 PM
Last time Ballina hosted a Connacht senior final? The Connacht GAA seem to select only MacHale Park, Tuam Stadium, Hyde Park and Pearse stadium for the last number of previous finals.
Castlebar and Ballintubber use Castlebar. North Mayo teams use Ballina
Mayo seniors use to play NFL games in Ballina. Seems to be a venue that's fallen out of favour the last decade.
Mayo games have too big an attendance to be played anywhere other than Castlebar these days
Quote from: Farrandeelin on November 15, 2021, 10:35:34 PMSure they'd have to actually win a game in Connacht to have a chance.
Would Padraig Pearses be favourites? Or Tourlestrane seeing both have recent Connacht campaigns behind them?

Quote from: twohands!!! on October 20, 2021, 07:39:52 PMWhere was that confirmed?Quote from: twohands!!! on October 20, 2021, 03:41:11 PM
All these counties confirmed in favour of Option B
Meath
Tipperary
Kildare
Cork
Longford
Down
Clare
Louth
Westmeath
Offaly
Warwickshire supposedly leaning towards being in favour
Delegates decide on the day (and from looking at what they have said there's a reasonable chance all of these 4 might vote in favour of Option B)
Wexford - the following is from the Wexford GAA websiter "The Senior Football Team preferred option for 2022 is Proposal B. There was clear support from Club delegates for the need for change to the status quo. It was agreed that Wexford GAA's delegates to Special Congress should consider the debate on Saturday and any proposed amendments and vote in the interest of change and Wexford GAA."
Laois
Waterford
Kerry
Individuals who have come out in favour of Option B
President Larry McCarthy and director general Tom Ryan (although he doesn't have a vote)
Ex-President Sean Kelly in favour
Ex-President John Horan called for a two year trial of Option B
The only people who have come out against it are the 4 Provincial Secretaries.
Roscommon and Sligo confirmed in favour of Option B
Still no county have come out in favour of Option A or the status quo.
Quote from: seafoid on September 27, 2021, 11:49:50 AMDrumlish is Fr. Manning Gaels now.
Slashers are still top of the roll of honour however.
Drumlish stopped winning in 1945. Sounds a bit like Cavan
Where did it all go wrong ?
Quote from: drici on September 20, 2021, 07:18:22 PMI see TG4 were pandering to celebrity with their choice of the first game. 3/4 bigger games than that in Mayo alone this weekend whatever about elsewhere.

With Liam Cahill staying at Waterford I see Tipp have moved for Colm Bonnar..
I wonder if that a "holding" appointment till Cahill sees out his time with Waterford.
Davy for Galway seems like madness for Galway and no word on Wexford as yet.
Cody, is he going to stay or call it a day?
Quote from: dublin7 on August 18, 2021, 10:41:35 AMThere was two weeks between the semi-final and final last year. Could have played it a week later and Galway wouldn't even have needed to go full tilt as they were going to trounce us anyway.Quote from: ck on August 18, 2021, 10:36:12 AMQuote from: Rossfan on August 18, 2021, 09:57:10 AM
Sligo were entering the single tier Connacht Championship.
One rule for Sligo, another for Tyrone is my point. It's an insight as to how the GAA will treat a 2nd tier C'ship
Sligo couldn't fill a fixture and delaying the cam would have meant re-arranging fixtures for multiple counties and their wasn't a date in the calendar available to reschedule the game for. The GAA offered an additional week to Tyrone as it only affected two teams and their was an available date. Only for Kerry offering to change the date of the game Tyrone wouldn't be playing in the semi final either, so to say the GAA are being consistent in fairness
