Quote from: Hound on June 02, 2024, 05:59:31 PMThere's two Mayo lads consistently posting that teams are at a serious disadvantage if they have to play one game a week. What absolutely nonsense!!

Playing last week did Armagh zero harm and Derry getting an extra week off did them no good.

Derry need a reset. If I was Harte, for the Westmeath game I'd say here are my best 15, but I'm going to deliberately leave 5 of them on the bench (mostly Glas lads ), give other lads a chance, and have a mighty bench.

One of them (Mayo)is myself and it totally holds up, especially if you had an intense game the week before. I know as a Dublin follower you have hardly ever experienced this and thus oblivious to the affects.

Wonder if Derry could do a Babs Keating and sack Mickey Harte.

Just goes to prove, the League is worth F*** all.

Quote from: Sportacus on June 02, 2024, 03:55:43 PMKerry sauntering to a win against Meath.  A waste of diesel for all concerned. A good advert for All Ireland Senior, Intermediate and Junior Championships.  Something most of us are well used to at club level so no big mental adjustment for senior inter county. Having the Tailteann isn't enough.

Yes, you could add other areas to the Junior Championship like Warwickshire, Kilkenny, Scotland, Gloucestershire, Hertfordshire, Lancashire, Yorkshire, Boston.

It'd be great for spreading the game and a Junior Championship could see Waterford, Carlow, Leitrim win an AI title.

Quote from: statto on June 02, 2024, 03:22:59 PMGalway, Armagh or Derry if they draw Kerry in quarters will fancy the job I would say.

Might fancy it but whoever play Kerry in the Quarter final it will be three matches in three weeks against a rested Kerry and we seen what happened to Tyrone in that situation last year.

Same happened to Mayo v Dublin in their Quarter with three matches in three weeks.

The worst thing for Meath is they are still in the Championship and the agony continues. They are just a good Tailteann Cup team.

Based on what?
Kerry have been poor today pulling away now and will not be tested to the quarters while those teams will have played good opposition and will have bit of momentum having won a preliminary quarter final.

Do you think Galway, Derry and Armagh have not set the world alight either?

Éamonn Fitzmaurice on co-commentary? Could we not have someone neutral? His monotone voice doesn't help also.

Quote from: Itchy on June 01, 2024, 09:29:48 PMWhen's the last time they scored a goal? Direct from a corner in the world Cup pool game was it?

That's a bit of an embarrassing question and shows how much you follow the Women's national side. They have scored 20 goals since that goal.  ::)

The week turn around for Donegal, a rested Cork, the journey down to Cork and Cork being a decent side made this a tricky fixture.

Quote from: Look-Up! on June 01, 2024, 11:26:18 AMHuge fuss about McCabe as a footballer, and she is very talented and athletic, but doesn't seem to have much upstairs as a footballer.

Constantly goes chasing balls like a mad terrier, pulls her own team out of shape, leaves huge holes behind her.

If we had more quality, she'd have to do less. Because of her talent she is expected to cover a lot of ground and do a lot of things. She also sets the tone for the team. She plays for a top club in England. She had to fly from Australia this week.

The group is a nightmare group and I'd say we are still blooding players in preparation for the real stuff.

A gang of snivelling Yank Senators
licking his behind abd promising to always help him in his war crimes and child murder campaign.

Netanyahu's real name is Mileikowsky. Many Jews emigrating to Israel from Europe wanted to cut themselves off from their real roots.
