Re: General GAA thread
I can't see Longford beating Wexford in the replay so Wexford will face Dublin in semi and Dublin will win to prob make it a Dublin V Kildare / Meath final. Hopefully Kildare as that would be a very good close game.

I have heard pundits say that Wexford have more room to improve but Longford did not play near to their potential last week. Having said that, the prize of playing the Dubs is a bit of a poisoned chalice.

Re: General GAA thread
Not a great weekend for us yellabellies, losing to Offaly on Saturday in a game we should have won (mind you, the qualifiers seem to have been kind to us - hopefully!)and then drawing with Longford due to a dodgy free awarded when we failed to keep the ball in injury time having gone ahead. But if we do lose in the replay good luck to Longford against the mighty Blues!

Re: General GAA thread
Forget about the wendyball, that was a great game between Longford and Wexford. Well done to ye yellowbellys, we should have had you dead and buried but we blew it.yellabelly1961 wrote:Not a great weekend for us yellabellies, losing to Offaly on Saturday in a game we should have won (mind you, the qualifiers seem to have been kind to us - hopefully!)and then drawing with Longford due to a dodgy free awarded when we failed to keep the ball in injury time having gone ahead.

Best of luck in the semis against the Dubs.
Re: General GAA thread
Fair play to Meath. Didn't expect anything out of them today but their young players were fearless and Kildare flattered to deceive once again.
Do any Kildare fans on here think McGeeney makes too many changes? They have some good forwards but they never seem to play at the same time.

Re: General GAA thread
Was very impressed with some young Meath players today Forde,Carroll, Menton and especially Gillespie. Was nice to see a Meath midfield again.
Kildare really over elaborate, at times it was like watching Spain, a lot of passing 40 yards out but no one willing to take a shot.
Final should be decent, would expect Dublin to pick a lot from that game, if Wexford could take their free's they would have lost

Incredible start in the Galway Kilkenny match
Re: General GAA thread
Fair focks to Galway, serious performance. Kilkenny seemed completely stunned.
Could be quite an interesting championship.

Re: General GAA thread
Well done to Galway. Worthy winners.
If only they would back that up with another few performances but I've a feeling it'll just be another one off.

I guess this win for Galway means that Athenry is actually in Leinster?
Look out Itchy, he's Irish
Re: General GAA thread
Thought the ref let Galway play a very physical game. In a way it's just KK getting a bit of their own medicine back, but they're usually a bit more subtle and selective about it than Galway were. Fair f*cks to them, they were absolutely worth their win, but not every ref would have let them away with the physical stuff.

The Tipp half back line are a savage group altogether.....awesomely strong and great stickwork too.
We all dream of a team of Sean O'Briens......

Gutted for Westmeath. That close to stealing upset of the week from Antrim. Despite losing the lads can walk around with their heads held high after today.

The sport that unites Catholic, Protestant and dissenter has had its day of days. Pity anybody who can't enjoy it. Some day.
