I'm sure it sounds arrogant but I would expect Tyrone to win this handy enough.
I'd really like to see us go all out this year to win the league as these younger players, especially now with no senior AI medals in the team (or does McCarron have 2) need to start showing that they can eat at the top table and not just be happy to say they're a top 4 team.

Lets face it Dublin and Kerry dont really rate winning the league as a big deal any more but like to get to the final stages for match practice. I'd like to see Mickey Harte realise how much it would boost this team's confidence and belief in themselves is they really went for the league and not be so lethargic as in other years.

I expect them to be eating loads of beans next weekend. Does the team stay down on the Sat night? I wonder where?


Will Tyrone be missing many players?

Possibly the Moy duo of Colm Cavanagh and Harry Loughran but I'd say we'll be at full strength otherwise.

Thats good going for this time year unfortunately no such luck for Galway who are missing Power, Silke, Farragher, O'Donnell, O'Currain, Armstrong, Lundy, Daly, Cummins & Burke.  You could add Molloy to that list as I'd have expected him to see plenty of game time . Thats 10/11 players missing out of a Galways best 21/22 players. Looking at it positively it gives someone else a chance but its hard to see anything other than a Tyrone win.

A lot of good fixtures there. Hopefully no weather disruptions. It would be nice if players being interviewed after could make an effort to speak their native language

Native language generally refers to the language someone has been exposed to from birth. For the overwhelming majority of people in Ireland, this is English.

I reckon Div 1 will see Dublin, Kerry and Tyrone battling it out. Donegal will probably stay up. The remaining four will be dicing with relegation.

Do you really think that the majority of GAA supporters would agree with that English is their native language?

If they have a correct understanding of the meaning of the phrase native language is then yes.

Looking at the number of players Kerry will be missing for a good part of the league i think the will be battling it out at the other end of the table.

In my experience, they certainly do.
The majority have a sentimental attachment to the Irish language and generally wish they had a better understanding of it but wouldn't take any positive steps, such as attending Irish language classes, improve their knowledge of the language.

Something tells me thatyou had a very sheltered upbringing, well removed from the realities of everyday strife and life.
Would I be correct in saying you went to a Gaelscoil or, worse still, a CB gulag institution?
Tell you what, if even one individual, on two legs or four, I'm not fussy, agrees with you, I'll rest my case.


BTW, I've nothing against the Gaelic language, once the national language of our ancestors, I'll rest my case.
Oh and while I am at it, I both speak and write Irish fluently.

League form is diverse for a lot of teams,trying out new players ,systems and the like.it is imperative(like that word) For the weaker teams Galway,kildare,to try & get as many points in the early rounds to have any chance of staying up.as a Galway man I can see us realistically getting 4pts and at that a big if! It would not be good to go down after 1yr but if it happens so be  it.
May 13 is the big one and I expect Galway to once again to have the measure of mayo.
But  mayo to go on as main connacht
challengers for all Ireland honours.
