Massive win for Monaghan versus the old enemy Tyrone in Omagh , a mighty game of football , a goal from Ryan O'Toole on debut sealed the victory for Monaghan in the third minute of injury time
Monaghan = = A great GAA football county = = When you consider the size of their playing population = = Monaghan deserve Great Credit.

Monaghan were poor and lost heavy enough to Derry on Saturday evening ...it was broadcast nowhere so I can't really say where the game was lost

Armagh drove over Down in clones and will face Derry in the Ulster final

Louth are back in a Leinster final for the first time since the infamous 2010 joe Sheridan final

Dublin were pushed very hard by kildare 14 - 12 in a game where Stephen Cluxton made a shock return to the starting line-up for the first time since the 2020 all Ireland final

The big spat in on about GAAGO , which is precisely what the GAA wanted because it takes the spotlight away from the new format .....I can only comment on football , but it's a complete and utter joke

4 Groups of 4.......with only the bottom team being eliminated in this group ( it's hard to get knocked out :LOL: ) at that stage we go into preliminary quarter finals where 4 teams will be eliminated giving us the quarter finals proper

The only motivation in the group stage is to win the group this avoiding one knockout round ......in all 35 matches will be played to decide this year's all Ireland Football championship

That's a ridiculous amount of games to lose 4 teams.

Derry are in disarray tonight with the Ulster final looming this Sunday in Clones

https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2023/0512/1383296-Myles-gallagher-derry/

Derry GAA manager Myles Gallagher has announced he is to step back from his role "with immediate effect".

Earlier, the SDLP had called for Mr Gallagher to step aside following serious allegations by his former wife.

A statement issued on behalf of Mr Gallagher this evening said: "I have advised Derry GAA that I am stepping back as Derry Senior football Manager with immediate effect.

"This decision is borne out of a desire to protect my children from the ongoing turmoil. They will always be my priority."

How do we know if there is any substance to these allegations ?

It could be an embittered Woman causing havoc ?

What happened to = = Innocent until proven guilty ?

Obviously = = I don't know the ends and outs of the case = But it is possible that it is a vindictive woman casing all sorts of havoc for revenge / who knows why = = Remember absolutely nothing has been proved in a court of law = = Isn't this why = = We have Law and order = = To sort this sort of stuff out.

Myles Gallagher is an Innocent man and has been hounded out by the woke mob :mad: he might be a control freak ( there are no laws against that) but he has battered no women.........this man once scored 3 - 07 in a championship match against Monaghan (including two penalties)

He has stepped back and not resigned the position of Derry senior football manager

Tried watching Armagh and Derry the other day but had to turn off after 10 minutes cos I didn't know which team had the ball.

What kind of A-hole thought it a good idea to have both teams playing in practically the same colours?

Myles's under siege

Myles Gallagher hides at home, refuses to set record straight on abuse claims

“Who are you?” he asked, with the window creaked open just a couple of inches.

But when we told him who we were he said, “No I’m not talking”, and closed the window.

He reappeared downstairs shortly after, briefly opening the closed full-length curtains to his living room, but only to look outside briefly.

According to his friend on twitter his injuries are pretty severe - broken teeth, concussion, possible fracture on his back and possible brain swelling.

Leinster took one hell of a beating yesterday = = After going in to a 17 point very early lead = = Leinster were mullered from there on in = = The score line looks close but this was Big Beating for Leinster.

Yesterday's main highlights were Mayo going to Kerry and beating them comfortably in what was their first home championship defeat since 1995

In salthill Galway sent Tyrone home with their tail between their legs in a game played in bad weather conditions

Donegal won in Clare by 15 points to 9 , in a game where they found a gear in the second half kicking a few long range scores to level the game before forging clear late on
