This should be a real test, but if can build on last week then definitely would be a positive. Hoping we dont revert back to the Dublin performance.

In general though it is good to be in a really competitive league.

Jamie G was out for a while but had recovered by the end of the season.
Was  in the gym all winter but never received any invitation by the county.....

Obviously the manager doesn't see a place for them in the squad then, end of the day he is the man who picks it and the team so he will have his reasons.

This Lisneal college story seems to gathering some legs.

Literally couldn't be up to them at any point, they just can't appear to help themselves.

Is it a massive loss though? Not like results have been good with him in there and his own form has been sketchy to say the least

Fecker of an injury to come back from and thats not the first long term injury he's had. Any player United lose from the starting this definitely a blow at this stage when you're going to be relying on a man pushing 40 and Lindelof now to give us something

But sure there are losing with him in the team so then briing in backs up and they lose, is hardly a massive loss

Problem seems to be that they have a ready made replacement with Yoro just to step in. But this means playing Maguire and De Ligt in together which exposes the team to pacey attacks down that side of the defence.
Maguire looked like he was running with lead boots on chasing back for the second goal at the weekend and to be fair he is one of the better performers recently.

Not impressed with Yoro at all, still a bit raw and doesn't look confident at times

Yeah bit rough around the edges but think there is definitely a player in there. Hopefully he will develop.

Trampy act that, what sort of ban will he get?

3 games

What would be the ruling there on using some randomers mobile phone footage as evidence?
Since I don't think it was picked up on by the main cameras on the evening.

That is true and for a lot of cases there needs to be an 'official' camera that needs to be used.

But in this case, he should take his medicine as if he contests this it would be a bit embarrassing for everyone

Not questioning whether he would take his medicine or not, more querying if they will actually be able to do anything about it without official footage. Interesting test case for sure.

[Just one thing I'd like, to hear less ass Kissing of the guest pundit.]

Watched it on the iplayer, great to see BBC sport finally giving hurling deserved recognition. Just one thing I'd like, to hear less ass Kissing of the guest pundit. I'm sure JO'C was cringing a little. I get the dead air bit but give the man his fee and leave it at that. M S is a seasoned pro and well able to generate more interesting conversation.
Delighted with the win, the squad looks motivated.

Have to agree on this, it was cringey at times.

Great option to have for supporters who couldnt get up the road, so it definitely to be welcomed.

Been following United since 91/92, albeit my passion and interest has dwindled somewhat this last decade or so. But genuinely, that current squad, is the weakest I can remember in terms of sheer lack of high end quality.

Not sure on the quality element they are all individually good players, there just has been a real poor culture develop around the club that has accepted second best in a lot of aspects of the club. This has led to what we see out on the pitch currently.

Who are the high end quality players at the moment? Martinez? Amad?

You could go through them all, most if not all are international players, so they are at a decent level.
I think it is more of a cultural rot which needs reset and I that RA understands this and is prepared to do it.

Rashford's departure is just the beginning I would think.

They'd 6 wins out of 7 or something in January. Still in a couple of cups, think they're on the right track but he's right, will be pain but he's worth sticking with

I don't see any other option than sticking with him, it's a proper reset that is required and I think he is up for the challenge.

Probably surprised him what a shambles the squad really is.

Horrible performance again yesterday.

Think it is a matter of getting to the end of the season now. So poor.

Looks like a bad one for Martinez.

Think the difference of us having the game last week and WM not showed on Sunday.

Some really positive elements but definite caveat with how poor WM were and how bad the ref was.

Could and should probably have 4 / 5 goals, but the Carlow result definitely opens it up.

Expecting a huge response from the hurlers on Sunday. Dublin have always been our achilles heel, especially away from home. I think the game will have stood to them.

Wish I had that level of confience. We were in around Dublin for the past number of years, that was light years apart in every facet.

I did see a quote somewhere yesterday got me thinking, not one single Israeli died in the Holocaust.

When you start to work back from that stand point does put a bit of context on the whole issue.

Also don't forget these Zionists that are all over social media on this wouldn't be your regular Jew/ Israeli, they are as extreme as Hamas on the other side. So I wouldn't be listening to too much they are coming out with.
