@movementcoachkm Analysis on podcasts is just entertainment- it’s essentially meaningless and not very useful.

GAA commentary and analysis is so reactive and full of recency bias in its outlook. Not to mention the incredible over emphasis on the cult of the manager. Anyone watching football with any bit of an analytical eye could see there are lots of positive things happening in Westmeath football in general. They’ve been well coached with a few years now. Their young players would have got great growth out of D2 near misses last year. Inexperience cost them anywhere from 2 to 6 points in the league. And it probably had to happen that way. That’s football. It’s very steep learning the way we structure competitions. They got another set back a few weeks ago not getting promoted back up with a last minute goal. Had they not had previous experiences like 2024/25 then it’s most likely Meath would have won last week. Bouncing back takes practice too, it’s no different to kicking off your weak side. That’s not to say Mark McHugh isn’t brilliant. He could be a genius, I haven’t a clue. However he didn’t do all this in 2026, he is layering on top of endless other work and undoubtedly individual strength and talent. Westmeath were showing a lot of what came out last weekend with at least 2 seasons, just not consistency within games or game to game. It’s just they have put it together more solidly now. We have to move away from magic wand thinking. Development takes time, it takes set backs and it’s non linear and messy.

@truefergallynch Westmeath fan here - yes that’s unfair.

Meath emphatically topped their group to earn a place in the Leinster u20 FC semi final, but their reward is an away game against Kildare or Westmeath

Westmeath and Meath have met 6 times at adult championship level in football and hurling since 2015. Westmeath have won on all 6 occasions.

@cavangaafans Despite the whole afternoon being given over to hurling, most of the highlights focused on the same hurling games that were already covered in the live coverage. It’s so annoying and hardly fair to those of us not interested in hurling that pay our licence fee.

Not a word on Cavan on The Sunday Game. Scandalous.

@DavidSSport To be fair Meath were due a sickening from us since 1884. Defeat taken on the chin and with huge class though. Kudos.

Well that was some sickener. But no complaints. Westmeath excellent.

In the space of a month Westmeath football has won a Hogan Cup. Beat Dublin u20 and minor. Beat Meath at senior championship. Truly amazing phenomenal stuff and results.

@gerrykelly31 @MeathGAA Nothing you can do when Westmeath decide to play well. You’re merely an actor in our play🇱🇻

@MeathGAA 4 goals conceded against Westmeath is absolutely ridiculous.

🏆 Leinster GAA Football Championship 1/4 finals Full Time Meath 00:25 Westmeath 04:18 Westmeath get their fourth goal in the last 10 seconds…. Its defeat here in Glenisk O’Connor Park & an exit from the Leinster Championship for Meath #MeathGAA #MEAvWES #BectiveStud

YOP Westmeath

@AaronMaher95 9 point win for Meath?

Predictions for the weekends Football 👇 Louth 1-20 Wexford 0-19 Wicklow 1-16 Dublin 2-19 Meath 2-24 Westmeath 2-15 Laois 1-19 Kildare 2-17 Derry 4-23 Antrim 0-21 Cavan 1-15 Monaghan 2-13 Thoughts?

@BaronoftheMaine Surely you saw a crossmaglen rangers shirt?

Ulster Uni alumnus here, As a student, a witnessed many students in 1916 Easter Rising commemorative GAA tops, Celtic/ROI football shorts. You know what I never saw? A single Rangers shirt. Why is that? The cold house. Just like the South after partition. You can be a Unionist, so long as you shut up and comply.

@uuponline @SRAikenUUP Pot shot out of nowhere - is there an election soon?

WATCH: We defend Ireland’s skies while they lecture us and our Defences are in peril.

@conormckenna98 It’s never going to be too far away with their playing resources.

Dublin will be 7 years without winning a Leinster U20/U21 championship and didn’t make the top 6 in Leinster this year. No Dublin school has won a Leinster title since 2016. Haven’t won 6 of the last 8 Leinster minor championships Is Dublin’s total Leinster dominance over?

@USchorer @Warwicktweets Say what? That’s an uninformed opinion

@Warwicktweets here's the thing , the republic of Ireland can't afford northern Ireland 1.6 million more people, no British money no DLA ,no free prescriptions, no nothing , they can't look after there own , it's EU money keeping them afloat.

My neighbours are from the Republic of Ireland. Their children are well-mannered and respectful. They have their opinion on Ireland which is understood, they're up here living in Northern Ireland.

@nosurrender1886 @JimDolan1888 @1FCKobe @Old_Skoollll @Warwicktweets So I’m guessing you’re not in favour of an all Ireland team?😜

There's not a Country in the World that doesn't love Northern Ireland supporters.

@KellyMatshall The answer to division is unification- no?

North Belfast MP for northern Ireland John finucane couldn't even wish his home team good luck , these people are vile and love division , it wouldn't have taken that much to wish the both teams well for tonight's football !!!

@RTE2 Would winning the World Cup feel better than that?

For the day that’s in it 🥹🇮🇪 #COYBIG

@implausibleblog @grok where can I listen to this entire conversation

Tucker Carlson, "What do you think of Gaza?" Zanny Beddoes, "I went in with the IDF, what you see is a flattened place.. I think it's a disaster for the future of Israel" Tucker Carlson, "Why would you describe it first as a disaster for the future of Israel? Tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians murdered, but it's first and foremost a disaster for Israel? It's foremost a disaster for the families of the dead kids" "The real problem with calling people anti semites who aren't, is accusing the innocent of a crime they didn't commit" "The real crime in Gaza is killing people who did nothing wrong" "Those are the real problems but no one can say it because you have to be like, oh no October 7th" Zanny Beddoes, "I don't know what you'e talking about Carlson" Tucker Carlson bursts into laugh then says, "Everyone watching this knows what I'm talking about"

@Athletic_en Best club in La liga !!

🇮🇪 Love seeing the Tricolour at San Mames! 🥰 Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona do lucht tacaíochta Athletic ar fud an domhain! ☘️ Hope the craic is mighty wherever you are! #StPatricksDay2026 #AthleticClub 🦁

@Darrenfrehill @westmeath_gaa Me heart

Just witnessed one of the all time great schools finals. What a game of football between Coláiste Mhuire Mullingar and Tralee CBS. A game that ebbed and flowed and in the end, a one point win for Mullingar who win the Hogan Cup. Epic. Shades of 1995 @westmeath_gaa #GAA

@mooreholmes24 Up there with Jack Charlton

Happy St Patrick’s Day! Celebrating the most famous Brit to have ever lived.☘️🇬🇧
