2025 All Ireland Football Championship

Yeah, failing in the LOI and his preferred sport humbled him

Ah yes. Jason “Trigger” McAteer. About as Irish as Big Ben

Sparking him out is arguably one of Cluxton’s greatest sporting achievements.

Trigger still dining out on his version of this story ,whenever he has a speaking engagement over here so win:win really

Jesus I’d say that’s an intellectual tour de france

They’re well and truly defeated. It’s been a glorious revolution

They are not giving up yet, there are still fellas running around saying “just you wait and see, in a few years these new rules will be figured out and destroy the game”. The rest of us are just loving having the great game back - today was the first Sunday in many years where I was disappointed there was only hurling fixtures such has been the change in entertainment levels of the football games.

Was in Ballybofey yesterday. If it wasn’t for Murphy, we’d have been destroyed. A few good performances. Murphy, Langan, McHugh, Roarty…but a host of lads who didn’t bother turning up. We’ve a serious forwards problem, for a county who even when we were at our worst, always produced serious forwards. 5 lads who scored, which is a telling stat. McGuinness last year pre the current rule changes stated that you needed 24pts to win a match. With adjustments for the new rules, the 20pts we posted weren’t close to enough,
Fair dues to Tyrone. They showed up. Good squad, and an astute man looking after them. I could see them winning their remaining two matches, and topping their group.
I strongly suspect our loss yesterday blew our chances of bringing an all-ireland this year.

Great striker of a ball and fielder but Murphy hasn’t the legs and teams are copping on to it. He was left for dead once or twice yesterday

It would be like Tipp bringing Seamus Callanan back after two years out and expecting him to play the full 70 and lead the forward line.

You’d think McGuinness would try use him as sparingly as possible and just have him there when it counts in the last fifteen minutes.

What lies ahead for derry? I assume they’ll absolutely thrash galway and dublin, but what then? I hear you’re the man with all the answers

Beat Galway at home at the weekend and that might be enough.

Hercules is going to need a bit of help though if they are to pull that one off.

Our goal finishing is just terrible

Micheal A Martin with a spectacular brain fart. Cork playing well now

Cork will rue those two goal chances but they look up for it

I like the cut of Paul Walsh. Plenty of bouldness to him.

Corner-back taking shots.

Geaney with a typical kerry late hit
