Quote from: Itchy on June 01, 2024, 09:29:48 PMWhen's the last time they scored a goal? Direct from a corner in the world Cup pool game was it?

That's a bit of an embarrassing question and shows how much you follow the Women's national side. They have scored 20 goals since that goal.  ::)

The week turn around for Donegal, a rested Cork, the journey down to Cork and Cork being a decent side made this a tricky fixture.

Quote from: Look-Up! on June 01, 2024, 11:26:18 AMHuge fuss about McCabe as a footballer, and she is very talented and athletic, but doesn't seem to have much upstairs as a footballer.

Constantly goes chasing balls like a mad terrier, pulls her own team out of shape, leaves huge holes behind her.

If we had more quality, she'd have to do less. Because of her talent she is expected to cover a lot of ground and do a lot of things. She also sets the tone for the team. She plays for a top club in England. She had to fly from Australia this week.

The group is a nightmare group and I'd say we are still blooding players in preparation for the real stuff.

A gang of snivelling Yank Senators
licking his behind abd promising to always help him in his war crimes and child murder campaign.

Netanyahu's real name is Mileikowsky. Many Jews emigrating to Israel from Europe wanted to cut themselves off from their real roots.

Mayo and Dublin were the cash-cow for high attendances of the GAA for the last decade. Dublin fans have got fed-up of winning (usually by double figures) and Mayo fans have got fed up of being ordinary again.

That's the end of Shefflin! Galway out of the Championship in May!

We'd be ahead only for the two Ronnie Delia years where we won only 1 of the 4 domestic Cups on offer.

Quote from: snoopdog on May 23, 2024, 08:34:19 AMDown v Offaly a dead rubber. Are many others nothing games.
It is the advantage of the current round robin system. Only 1 dead rubber out of 8 games, and a meaningful difference to top the group by going straight through to the QF and an extra week off.

Whereas if it reverted to the Top 2 only qualify, which is what the Sunday Game/RTE in particular are demanding, there would be 5 dead rubbers out of the 8 games next week.

The problem is that the Quarter Finals end up as uneven games as the 2nd/3rd teams are wrecked from outings 3 weeks in a row. Making it near on impossible to beat the table toppers.

Quote from: jcpen on May 25, 2024, 03:42:09 PMMan Uniteds game to lose now, it's in their hands.

And unlike the Liverpool team you support they didn't lose when got into the position of winning yesterday.

Bad day for sportwashing and soulless clubs with Manchester City unable to add another trophy to their collection and Newcastle United missing out on European football next season.

Now, now, don't go talking about losing in a position of winning. Utd were the masters of doing this, this season.
Congrats to Utd. I wasn't overly upset (as i'd normally would be) to see them beat the 115 cheaters yesterday.

Meath have been bad for a long time now. One of many that are choked by a heavy weighted Leinster Championship - geared at proving Dublin with as many advantages as possible. Colm for years sat in his Ivory Tower in RTE criticising teams for not kicking the ball in, for not doing this, for not doing that. He has found out - on the front line that Inter-county management is not as easy as it seems. Colm and his back room team are on big money. He is in no way a volunteer. He is being well paid to do his job.

Quote from: Cunny Funt on May 26, 2024, 11:00:33 AMDonegal last year compared to this year under Jim McGuinness are prime example to any top 8/10 team how they can improved once it has structure organisation, top level fitness from hard winter training and each and every player buying into a system of play.   With Cork and Clare to come that game yesterday was basically a table topper and the manner and margin of victory yesterday was impressive and it's rarely easy to beat the same Div 1 team twice in a matter of weeks.

Cork could be tricky.They are a decent side. And it's an away fixture on the other side of the country.

Quote from: From the Bunker on May 25, 2024, 05:35:40 PMCongrats to the Utd fans on here. Made City look ordinary. Nice finish to your season, after a lot of pain.
I presume that means they are in Europa League now? Probably could have done without that.
Ah, the group stages can be easy. Players now a days want to been seen in Europe rather than hid away in their domestic leagues.
