RTÉ comms. Mostly sport but lots of other good stuff too. All views are my own I'm afraid.

@NiallWorthing67 At the risk of repeating myself, Rovers did the double, Shels won f**k all. Nothing else matters.
English
@FMcMack Eg. Since May 30th last year Shels and Rovers have taken the exact same number of points. Shels played the exact same number of games. I would say that's more reflective of a drop in the level where Rovers would expect to be, rather than a massive overperformance from Shels
English
How long would this have to go on before the consensus became that Rovers may not be the best side in Ireland? Most would still agree they are (myself included), but rivals have been outperforming them in the league for almost a year
25 games runs to 30/05/25
20 goes to 05/07/25

@NiallWorthing67 We won the League and Cup so holds plenty of weight. Bradley does this deliberately, he has the team peaking when needed. Very hard for raw numbers to capture that and trophies are the only currency that matters.
English
@FMcMack Think the point about league results tailing off because of other comps would hold more weight if they had started this season strongly. A lot of the losses at the end of last year, they put out strong XIs. They're probably still the best, just not by as much as folk think imo

The number 11 is a hero, my lad also plays U14 and is a number 11, I’d be sick to my stomach if he ever had to intervene like that.

You'd have to imagine that hats, flags and headbands is a hard sell for the Sigerson Cup. I admire the commitment though.
