Godsown - we must have been at 2 very different games then it seems. Either that or else we have a very different view on what's to be tolerated in our games.


And why would I want to "stir the shit" as you put it? I have no vested interest in either team. What are you insinuating?

Is sledging still a significant issue in footballing circles? I mostly take in hurling when I get the chance but happened to go to the Downpatrick and St. John's Drumnaquoilr contest on Wednesday with my nephew. Some of the abuse was shameful. Really personal stuff being dished out which I heard first hand. No place for this in our games

Heard from a very good source today that the Darragh cross issue is actually 2 years old. One would wonder how it has gotten to this point before being flagged up. Apparently it's an administrative error on both the club and county's part. The lad transferred away from Darragh a few years ago before returning. It seems that the transfer wasn't completely through on the county board's end and the club deemed him eligible to play.

@supersub and @hard2listen2 thank you. I see Paddypower have odds released for the senior championship already but none for the intermediate or junior.

I usually observe the football from a distance but can't help but notice a few teams across each division underperforming based off league standings in recent years. Can anyone shed some light? Burren in division 1, Rostrevor in 2, Darragh cross and Tullylish in 3, and Ardglass in 4. Most of them have been competing in their respective championship finals or leagues in recent years
