Why is the standard of kicking so poor fron some teams in rugby.

Most junior teams in GAA have a place ball kicker capable of kicking 2 pointers.

Why cant proffessional rugby teams have nailed on kickers.

Quote from: thebigfullforward on March 01, 2026, 05:19:10 PMJust finished watching Dublin Roscommon there. First 20 minutes from Roscommon the worst a team has looked under the new rules so far I think. Went to a minor game instead and at least the young lads had a go at it

First 20 minutes Roscommon had about 12 shots and it included probably one of the worst misses for a goal chance I've seen this year.  Dublin from nearly every miss broke on the counter for easy scores and ended the game as a contest before half time.



We were awful today.
Relegation back on the table unfortunately.

Given recent performances, I was fairly  sure Roscommon   would beat Dublin with a few points  to spare.

What went wrong?  Was the conditions a factor?

These windy games place importance on who plays with the wind. Against Armagh, Roscommon had a confidence building early lead, and needed dogged defence in the second half. Against Dublin, they needed to come from behind and this may not have suited them.

Did they not come from 13 points down last week?

Is it me or is there not enough being made of the fact that Yanks/Israel killed 100+ school children in Iran yesterday?

Quote from: SouthOfThe Bann on February 22, 2026, 11:18:05 PMGreat to see Cork getting a big result like that would love to see them back in division 1.

For a team that has little following their social media posts get serious reaction maybe the most in the country

Have they alot of armchair supporters?
Hurling county, lot of them would want nothing to do with the big ball

Seem to get a lot of support on social media despite the hurling dominance is my point though.

Quote from: Main Street on February 18, 2026, 09:57:05 PMBodo Glimt add Inter to their long list of illustrious scalps. Considering where they are located on the planet next to permafrost land, their football club organization from fans to club structure to manager/coach to players (95% home based) is an astonishing story of this decade.

Incredible outfit; feel like they dont get the recognition they deserve.

Jeez I thought Derry were supposed to be the most respectful bunch of the Northern counties when it came to football.

This slander from Kildare is interesting.

Quote from: SouthOfThe Bann on February 14, 2026, 08:16:45 PMIs ocean fm Donegal too?

Think it might cover north Sligo north leitrim and north fermanagh too.

Might be Sligo based but covers that general area and bordering counties.

No radio like that in north.

The only thing is when it comes to GAA matches, they are brutally biased. It's so bad it's funny.

Sorry your right it covers whole of Sligo and south Donegal.

There is a lot of media in Donegal though.

They have 2 GAA podcasts at least one with Highland one with Ocean FM... And several newspapers.

Hahaha a gas man.

Just listened to Ciaran Meenaghs interview with Colm Parkinson after the game.

Comes across as a very likeable chap, a guy you'd love to play for.
