The laois keeper? Hear she did untold alright. As you suggested maybe they should try someone else in goal and have him out the field for 70 mins since he seems to be the best forward

A Clare man no less. Justy is obviously cut from the same cloth as McGeeney when it comes to the fly keeper

There’ll need to be a count kept on goals scored into empty nets across all Inter County games this year.

Dublin and Kerry are the most likely All Ireland winners and a key reason behind it is because their keepers are the least likely to go walkabout.

Shane Ryan did loads of it the other night and was mostly only getting in the way.

Thought I heard Wicklow away but still winnable. Sligo maybe as well. Clare in transition but think we are in a worse state. After the kicking Cork got today and sad situation in Tipp I don’t think Munster football has ever been worse than this

[Julio_Geordio]

It’s a thing to do now but most of them have no idea why they are doing it.

Wheels in Laois @myboyblue nice post opportunity missed. Although by the sounds of it she may well have been a voiceover from home

[myboyblue]

No way she was there, there was barely a crowd there

[Julio_Geordio]

VAR. Fuck off FFS.

Worried for Limerick football. Can’t see where the four points will come from. Up Down next week. Expect them to get a kicking

4 probably won’t be enough. Home to Antrim would be one they’d expect to win. Aside from Wicklow, hard to see where other wins come from.

Wicklow gave a good account of themselves against a good Down team yesterday. Heard they wasted a couple of good goal chances too. Limerick will do well to win in Aughrim.

The result flattered us. Cork were poor, especially with the breeze in the second half and our chaotic sub goalkeeper antics. We coughed up a lot of easy possession, misplaced a lot of passes and were largely ineffective in 1-on-1 tackling. On the plus side, we had a brilliant spread of scorers which will make us dangerous, weren’t afraid to and kicked some lovely long range efforts which brings us out of the old one dimensional gameplan and the speed and strength going forward was incredible. Ryan McHugh starting to look like his old self, the youngsters look hungry and energetic. McBrearty posted the well taken goal and the rest from frees. Maybe the goal will give him the confidence to start contributing more points from open play. Patton back next game for a stiffer test away to Cavan. Good to get two points towards a possible promotion and get back into a culture of winning.
Langan, McGee, McMenamin and our top forward Gallen to come back in so I’m boldly predicting we won’t be far off the pace of Derry in the first round in Ulster.

I’d say Donegal will win Ulster. Mickey Harte has never beaten Jim McGuinness in championship football. Derry might have their eye on peaking later anyway.

I think Michael Murphy being gone will prove a blessing in disguise for Donegal. Sometimes a team is too reliant on a player. His absence will force the rest of the team to develop their leadership qualities and under McGuinness you can be sure this will happen.

McGuinness coming back to Donegal is basically the GAA equivalent of Klopp at Liverpool. He’ll transform them. They could win the All-Ireland this year and definitely represent the best value bet.

[peddlerscross]

Do Donegal play Derry in Round 1 in Ulster?

And in early April?

On that basis you’d fancy Donegal. Derry dont really need another Ulster title and a 5 or 6 week break for them going into the round robin would be a good thing.

[Cheasty]

Yes Derry are at home.

Armagh have a handy run to the final on the other side.

[peddlerscross]

A Donegal v Armagh final would be good.

[Cheasty]

@peddlerscross

A Donegal v Armagh final would be good.

I have Donegal v Armagh ranked at #5 in my Ulster Final pairings POWER RANKINGS.

[peddlerscross]

Go on then…

Yeh, Mickey will be aiming for the win but Jim seems to hold that indian sign over him. I could see us beating Derry, but only because I believe they’ll regress under Harte. I took a punt of 40-something to one on an all ireland win in Jim’s first year. Unlikely to come in, but you never know. His first championship with the county brought a team ranked 23rd in the country to an All Ireland Semi Final and lost by two points.

Murphy looked haggard from injuries, and even failed to show anything exceptional in the club championship this season, so his race was ran. You’re right, there was an over reliance. I can see Ryan McHugh taking over the captaincy over the next year or two. Plenty of game intelligence, and grit.

Nearly as bad as the rugby World Cup draw
