First of all I thought we fought very well to get back into the game in the first half. Someone said to me at half-time that it was now ours to lose especially with the strong breeze at our backs coming up. In my heart I felt this as well but at the same time having seen enough football through […]
Watching back, listening, and reading again through what has been said in the papers, online and other sources it would seem that we are progressing okay as a team since the Galway jolt. However I don’t buy that at all and below are the reasons why. In my mind it is simple. We were soundly beaten by a better Galway […]
So here we are again. The beginning of the real football and when the summer crowds come forth expecting the League cobwebs to be blown away and the wheat to truly be separated from the chaff. At the end of it all will be another champion county standing alone with everyone else lost in their wake. But who will prevail? […]
Green and gold will deck the entire stadium but which corner of the country will claim Sam? It will be North v South on Sunday as Donegal and Kerry match up in the biggest sporting occasion on the Irish calendar, the 2014 All-Ireland football final. We may feel grumpy ourselves at not being there and perhaps disillusioned about the whole […]

Essentially the majority of teams who make up the 2014 championship are realistically setting targets for a possible tilt at the Provincial crowns. Anything beyond that for those outside of Division One would in all honesty be a massive bonus. One or two may get through depending on the draw, and this will be a great day out for that […]

We’re all starting to lick our chomps in anticipation of Sunday’s showdown between Kerry and Dublin. Here’s JPM with a preview of this latest clash between two giant forces in Gaelic football.

Not long to wait now so no better time to welcome JPM back into the guest slot to preview Sunday’s contest. Photo: Mayo Mick The All-Ireland football semi-finals are here. Mayo versus Tyrone and Dublin versus Kerry. Arguably the four top teams in the country. All are Division One teams and each have a pedigree to their name. Dublin, Leinster […]
