Would he be of Clonduff persuasion? Kilcoo huers lol

One of his many clubs, bit like the brother who refs out of forkhill. I hear he had a great game last Saturday night.

Paul Faloon was never a Clonduff member. He played for Saval and referees for Drumgath

Johnny's brother living in Co Down these days

Was at St Colman in 80s - you didn't get to do A levels if grades were low. Probably cost us 1 MacRory at least.

I work in construction- main contractor takes 35% RCT Tax off my invoice and pays to ROI Revenue. I then have to reclaim it.

I think it's brilliant to still be involved at this stage. Going into the last game knowing you can still win the league. The slagging is mighty from the Man U fans but believe me they would love to be in our position right now. We might not win it, but Jesus its great to still have a chance. Dont know if I can watch tonight - always get the feeling that I will jinx the result.
We will never walk alone lads

I was at that game too MR2 - travelled up from Liverpool on coach. Was day after St Patrick's Day I think?

Keen to hear who the Clonduff imports are. I'm a member and not sure who you are talking about Jim?
Maybe I should go to more games

Rostrevor are training though?
Clonduff are to start this week or next week?
Most teams will have a weights programme in place but it's unusual for clubs to be on the field at this time of year.

Not trying to provoke, bit have any of the posters managed a Senior Team?

Liverpool under Houllier & Rafa were hard to watch. Football was very boring. In fairness to Brendan, he brought back good football and Klopp has picked up where he left off.
I used to go to games regularly but got fed up with the dull approach until Rodgers changed the style. The year we finished 2nd produced some outstanding football - I probably went to 6 games that season
Good football over trophies for me - though something to celebrate would be the icing on cake

Agree with what you are saying about the 2 extreme parties in our current situation.
However, if you go back 20-30years, we wouldn't have got to where we are now without McGuiness / Adams.
Its to our eternal shame that lives were lost throughout this conflict, and some horrendous acts were carried out, but I go back to my original point, unless you lived through what was going on here, you probably won't understand that people did what needed to be done in order to give nationalists a voice. I think that reflects worse on the Unionists that treated us in the manner they did

Syferus, you generally make a lot of good posts. However I feel you need to have lived in the north before making comments like you did earlier.
Growing up in the 70s & 80s, Catholics were 2nd Class citizens. That has now changed and whether we like it or not, it was people like Martin McGuiness that dragged us to where we are today.

Working in London this week and just in from a run. The cyclists in this city are mental. No stopping at red lights for some, onto footpaths for others to avoid red light, and when some do actually stop at red lights they all make their way to front of the queue by weaving through the cars. Absolute madness. Almost got knocked over by 2 cyclists that are clearly making their way home from the Tour de France given the speed they doing. Straight through the red light and had cheek to roar something along the lines of you faaaaaaaackiinnnng caaaaaant

I think I have said before and happy to repeat myself - is there anyone who would want to take the job? I believe that Eamon was the only man that would take it on at the time.
Regarding all the players that have been mentioned previously- is it possible that they haven't been taking part in all the training sessions? I don't know the answer, but it might explain why they aren't starting. Is it possible that the guys that are starting are the ones that have really knuckled down and worked hard in the preseason? Are the management putting out the message that if you bust your balls you will get a chance?
Im in no position to answer these questions and I'm in no way trying to defend the management, but it might be their way of getting the "stars" to work harder. Didn't Murray keep the lad McGarry on the bench when Colmans won the Hogan?
I agree with the Poster who said that M Clarke should be a special case. The lad has a condition that may not allow him to train every night for example- I think other players would buy into that. Likewise I think McCorry should have kept Benny Coulter as a special case. A county panel should appreciate that a man in his 30s shouldn't have to run about as much as a lad in his 20s

I agree with Johnny - whoever finishes top wins the league. It's a farce to expect teams to continue playing at this time of year. We see it happen any year a team progresses in Ulster.
I feel sorry for both teams. Asking castlewellan to train without a definite final date and for Kilcoo to risk injuries before a massive game
