Eoin Sheahan

Where he's going to play is a different story because while he's named in the full forward line,

I really like to see him out the field a little bit more.

He's big, he's able to look after himself and he can shoot the two-pointer, crucially.

So that position may be a little bit harder to define.

It's just going to be finding time for all these things because that is on at the exact same time as Waterford versus Tipperary.

So as is often the case on a GEA weekend, those prime Sunday afternoon fixtures do tend to get clogged up with a couple of fixtures.

So there's a direct clash between those two games, which a lot of people, I think, would like to see.

Yeah, it's kind of last chance saloon for Down now to qualify for Sam Maguire because Westmeath put the cat amongst the pigeons last week with their unexpected win against Meath.

That knocks Down out of the Sam Maguire places unless they get to an Ulster final.

But Down would need to win this game away to Donegal this weekend and then they'd also need to beat Armagh most likely in an Ulster semi-final and make it to an Ulster final.

They have it very hard up there in Ulster.

It is unfair.

But into the fact that it's based on geography, whether or not you qualify for Sam Maguire from an outside the top 16 spot and down, it would be very, very unlikely if they're going to be contending for Sam Maguire.

So they'll have to, I suspect, settle for a place in the Taliesin Cup once again.

Yeah.

Yeah, I saw someone saying that the FAI now has the opportunity to do the most shameless thing in the history of sport and actually put their hands up and say, put us in, coach.

Nothing's going to happen here in terms of the outcome.

I don't blame this, anybody, for making this a big story because, well, first of all, you have Paolo Zampolli actually talking about this.

You have a US special envoy saying that my beloved Italia...

Italy should be in the World Cup and we should have a lot of Italians who are obviously generations old here in New York City in particular, you know, celebrating football and they've won the World Cup four times, etc, etc.
