Last post by Rossfan - Today at 11:46:07 PM8 Counties have only 2 games left.
Donegal, Tyrone, Louth and Meath have limited capacity for their games next week.
Armagh have obviously sold loads.
We have a 23k Stadium, Dublin have use of an 82,300 one while Westmeath probably no great demand.
So spare capacity in abundance.

Laois / Re: 2024 Joe McDonagh Cup
Last post by G@@ - Today at 11:38:51 PMReflecting on today's win, was intrigued by Cuddy's selection at No. 4. Thought he mopped up alot of ball and didn't look like a fish out of water in that position, however - tougher opposition might shine a light there where Down couldn't today.
We done some amount on rotation in our full forward and half line today - it yielded four goals from Keyes and Willie Dunphy. One each from each wing after being moved across! Impressive.
Was delighted to see King and Duggan brought on and given a decent spell on the field. Would like to see Duggan win more ball because he has the talent in the stratosphere of Screeny, Duggan just needs to win more dirty ball. In fairness to Duggan - he flicked off a ball to a team mate when there was a goal (No. 5) on today. He really should have had a go himself as it was probably the easier option. His earlier point single-handedly was brilliant. Signs of his capabilities.

Last post by screenexile - Today at 11:34:34 PMQuote from: marty34 on Today at 11:04:05 PMSilly, but not unexpected behaviour from Mc Kinless. Let his team mates down badly. Derry needed to start the game well and stay in the game but in reality, the game was over with the deserved red card.
Previous to that, Derry's shooting was brutal. How many did they kick into the keeper's hands? It's shocking at that level. Do they not do shooting at training? - doesn't look like it from today's show.
No Derry goals today and never really created any good chances. Derry scored goals for fun during league. That threat seems, for whatever reason, to be gone currently.
Since the league final, Derry's momentum has tailed away significantly. After the long break, I'd expect them to be bursting the doors down to rectify the Donegal performance but I'd be really disappointed. They looked very average and disjointed.
Obviously a few players were injured but lack of championship experience on the bench was telling. The panel must be very light.
Why were so many let go and why were U20's brought in?
A few lads wanted to play football so went back to their clubs and you can't really blame them!

Last post by RedHand88 - Today at 11:30:10 PMQuote from: lenny on Today at 10:33:54 PMQuote from: SouthDublinBro on Today at 08:38:08 PMNot the first time a Derry player has done this. I recall that Rodgers stamped on someone recently too, no call for it. Trampish stuff.
True, the discipline has slipped badly this year under the tyrone management. Mckinless let his team down today, very disappointing. Genuinely hope Comer recovers from the ankle injury and it doesn't impact on his involvement for the rest of the season.
"The Tyrone management"!!
Boys a dear they really are turning on them up there.

Last post by AustinPowers - Today at 11:25:46 PMQuote from: sam03/05 on Today at 08:03:08 PMThought Hartes comments after the game were a disgrace. Said he didn't see mckinless incident , but then proceeded to accuse Comer of making a meal of it and theatrics.
It was as blatant a red card as seen at a game & it more or less ended Comers involvement in the game. McKinless deserves a lengthy ban for it
Didn't Gavin Devlin get 3 months for similar back in the day?

Antrim / Re: Antrim Football Thread
Last post by BrendanAntrim - Today at 11:23:05 PMYes - of course, you are right we could still finish second and have a preliminary. Does finishing second equal a home venue for prelim? Can't recall. But well done to the squad, that's a strong away win today.

Last post by armaghniac - Today at 11:19:50 PMQuote from: bennydorano on Today at 10:02:58 PMIf it's here to stay I'd like to see it on the Sky platform. With some of the absolute niche / nonsense channels on there there is no way cost is an insurmountable issue.
Sky was a different audience, general "sports" fans who might watch. Sky became acceptable enough when they had the 24 hour Now passes, but one way or the other streaming is the way forward.
Moving the games earlier did not help the Sky deal, in another couple of weeks Sky would have less to show and the GAA helped fill that gap.
