GAA 2022

[Armaghtoffee]

Im not sure mate, may not specifically be prejudice around Armagh, but a shot across the bow in general around appealing and possible consequences - all the same won’t have helped your preparation a week out.

The GAA are sometimes a law onto themselves, it presents as a democracy but often duress appplied, the shenanigans that go on at congress, back of the room deals, without question more counties hold sway in disciplinary matters for commercial, marketing, publicity and profile reasons for the GAA.

I’m not going down a prejudice line here, more highlighting that the discipline system itself is flawed. If HQ don’t apply it transparently and consistently then they deserve any criticism that comes their way.

A bit of chaos in Down there was some trouble at a training camp, apparently James McCartan wants to resign, but the county board want him to stay on.

Down haven't won an Ulster title or an all Ireland since 1994. They came close to winning an all Ireland in 2010 though, but thankfully Cork got the win there!

It would be nice to see Down get their act together again imo. Maybe it's because they always beat Kerry in the championship, but i've always had plenty of time for them.

Ive been waiting for Antrim to get their act together. I'll be waiting a while...

Antrim are the only Ulster county to get to the hurling all ireland final though.

Fancy London to turn Leitrim over this weekend. Get the championship off to an interesting start. Dont see any other shocks in the Hurling, maybe Wexford might do a number on Galway.

 

[Bluerover]

Sheflin starting to show his quality as manager of Galway. Wexford still in this - 4 points in it

 

[Bluerover]

Great game between Wexford and Galway - I think Galway will just do it. Sheflin had his tragedy recently when his brother died suddenly while put for a run RIP

3 points in it now-5 minutes added time

 

[Bluerover]

What a game!! Brilliant second half!! Once Wexford woke up it was incredible. Galway threw it away mind

 

[Bluerover]

.....and now to Ulster @Armaghtoffee . I take it Tyrone are red hot favs

 

[Bluerover]

Westmeath lead Kilkenny 9 points to 6 :-o Surely they can't keep this going?.......

and now they are level 10 to 1-7

 

[Bluerover]

Kilkenny 3 ahead.

Meanwhile Dubs 3 points each with Laois

Fermanagh doing ok but really needed to make the most of having an extra man for the black card. Down by a point

 

[Bluerover]

Fermanagh really doing well against the wind. Pity they conceded that goal. Tyrone by one point at HT

Westmeath 0-16 Kilkenny 1-17

Dublin 0-8 Laois 1-6

Huge favourites. The Irish News described this today as ‘the perfect game for Tyrone’.

However, if Fermanagh had forwards this would be game on.

Just watching that goal again - definitely steps. Should not have been allowed

Yeah but I do think McQuillan has been harsh on Tyrone overall.
