I predict it will be the next step.

I thought RH88 you'd always side with your fellow county folk.

...if the GAA maintain its ties with Allianz ?

Nice to see a Rossie man get the gig. 

Isn't it just.😁.
Meanwhile we're not rushing into an appointment.
Better wait till October as usual.

Tucking these away for when we beat ye out the gate next year. Bunch of clowns. Go away and do what yer King says.

Meath need a miracle now. 13 points down. Still time though

Look at the video again, the guard was an absolute clown on a power trip. He egged on Healy Rae in the hope HR would start something off. Also go to the final part where the guard is trying to grab the girls phone for recording.


Pity that same guard doesn't go down the liffey boardwalk and square up to the creatures there. 

Would need to be a change in refereeing for this to work. Slightest contact these days at times is free and forwards are getting away with 7-8 steps. Haven't a hope of getting a man stopped 1v1 like that. 

Ya, depends on the ref as well, need refs that are more biased to defenders. It's a sort of press out the field moreso, some club lads I spoke to said (and that this was under the old rules) is that you can't do a full on press or chase the opposition for the whole match as you'd be gassed after 40 minutes, so under the faster new rules I can see where a "containment" strategy is part of the plan. For the last ten minutes of the 1st half on Sunday I was surprised that the Donegal lads didn't chase Kerry like men possessed and gamble to get turnovers.

Sometimes managers are very over rated, it's a simple game really.

We, Mayo, did it as well, a disaster for us and actually the opposite of what we are half decent at. Dublin the same.

Donegal made Kerry look better than they are, I didn't see the Meath / Kerry match so I'm not sure what kinda way the Meath lads set up, I'm sure Jimmy McGuinness watched the tape before Sunday though.

Hopefully with our new manager we will go back to it. Obviously a decent midfield and half back line are needed.

Donegal management will be kicking themselves this week, there was a spell in the match where they were actually on top and won a few turnovers and got the match back to 4 points but missed a handy chance to get it to 3, you could see the heads dropping on the DG players after that shot went wide, that was that then.

It appears from all the games under the new rules that the days of zone / zonal defence are dead and will only get teams so far?

Is it a case next year that the teams that go man to man marking stand a better chance?

I reckon if Donegal did this on Sunday they had a better chance and it would've made for a better spectacle. They sacrificed a key strength in setting up defensively and that was their turnovers.

Owen Farrell captain today

Can see his point in fairness. There is only one narrow road in and out.

Same as almost every other golf course .... What did you expect a dual carriageway into the car park?

Portmarnock will also have it's work cut out convincing them they can run it on a peninsula with scant infrastructure.

Strange take, it's on bus routes, dart and train line and close to the airport...

If it's the course itself your on about I suggest you look on Google earth, the land area they have is massive.

Would it not be better to judge Meath and their overall progress after the final?

Shur if the Donegal machine bate Kerry by 10+ it would change things.
