Kerry v Meath and Derry v Armagh both on RTE in round 2

Cavan v Dublin and Roscommon v Mayo on GAA Go.

A disgrace that Cork v Donegal not on GAA go.

Id have it ahead of all those games bar Derry v Armagh.

Can understand why Mayo Roscommon will be shown ahead of it but it was already televised this year and was an atrocious watch.

[He put together a football committee (they were side-lined as they were holding certain people to account)that shaped the high performance aspect of the county teams. That was designed to bring continuity to our county teams regardless of who was in charge, the managers might change but the elite performance aspects would remain. That has been dismantled and you have Harte (who i hope continues to do well) coming in with his own backroom team. In other words we are going back to how our county teams were run 6 yrs ago and beyond. The long term effect of this approach will come home to roast in 8/10 yrs time if it is not remedied.]

I suppose they'll be various speed wobbles along the way, part and parcel of committees.. From the outside looking in, it's not so bad (performance wise)

The problem is that there was alot of work done behind the scenes when McKeever got the V Chair post. He put together a football committee (they were side-lined as they were holding certain people to account)that shaped the high performance aspect of the county teams. That was designed to bring continuity to our county teams regardless of who was in charge, the managers might change but the elite performance aspects would remain. That has been dismantled and you have Harte (who i hope continues to do well) coming in with his own backroom team. In other words we are going back to how our county teams were run 6 yrs ago and beyond. The long term effect of this approach will come home to roast in 8/10 yrs time if it is not remedied.

I think, on the back of Cahair O'Kanes article in the I.N. about the amount of injuries we are experiencing. I'll recyle this post I made on 13th December.

Loughlin's not an long standing groin condition that finally needed surgery?
Doherty's quad hasn't been right since the crafty 'tackle' by Maher in Salthill during the league game? Not training related.
Murphy's injury occur at training?
McEvoy's hamstring.. In a big panel of players this will happen. We've been very lucky with injuries the last couple of seasons.
If it's a change of S&C and people are pointing fingers, why is the number not greater from 14 odd games and countless tough training sessions?
I'd say if you went through every panel in Ireland since the league started this year we'd pretty average re the amount of injuries

Sligo match fixed for Breffini Park, disappointing tbh. And it's a 4pm throw in on the Sunday. 90 mins from Sligo, 2 hours on some bad roads from Belfast, obvs more from south west. Thats an unfair venue I think

Appeal it.. we all love a good appeal 😉

The young Offaly fans are mad to get on the field to celebrate.

Got a replay in '98, could have cost a win tonight. Thankfully it didn't. Great win
