which of the ISP allows you to watch rte content  in the north?

found it,
from the ccc regulaions:

16.    Ties. In the event of teams finishing level in the County League and the tie having a bearing on position, promotion or relegation, a play-off or a series of play-offs will be used to resolve the tie. Play-off matches will be played to a finish. 10 minutes each way extra time. If a result has not been achieved after extra time a replay will decide.

score difference doesnt matter.dunno why they keep it then!!

I've been told score differences doesn't make a differences. Don't know why they keep them though. Play-offs.

I don't think scoring differance counts either. They are there probably mostly because the system generates  the table based on results texted in. They make interesting reading at times though.
If scoring differance mattered, they'd be an almighty row if teams didn't field thus denying clubs a chance to rack up.

I am 99% sure it's play offs.

does anyone have the offical guide to this, think someone posted it before re: what happens if a team wins the double.if killeshill, stewartstown or eskra win the championship, it gets even more complicated!!

[Strabane Sigerson's]

Final Round in Divison 2:

we really need both rock and urney to lose at home but that is very unlikely.

Strabane Sigerson's       v    Augher St. Macartan's    
Killyman St. Mary's       v    Greencastle St. Patrick's       
Cookstown Fr.Rocks       v    Derrylaughan Kevin Barry's       
Moortown St. Malachy's    v    Killeeshil St. Mary's       
Pomeroy Plunketts       v    Gortin St. Patrick's       
Rock St. Patrick's       v    Eskra Emmett's       
Stewartstown Harps       v    Edendork St. Malachy's       
Urney St. St. Colmcille's    v    Clann na Gael

if my predictions are right that would leave Stewartstown, Killeeshil, Eskra and Augher on 12 points each and in playoffs to avoid the playoffs.

as far as i know clars, in the event of teams finishing on the same point, the score difference comes into play.

If for instance the Dublin hurlers won an all-ireland (long shot) I doubt very much any stewards would be able to keep lads off the pitch.
Why do we always have to conform to other codes standards? Keith Duggan calls it right today- pitch invasion at the end is our kind of madness. Shouldn't have to apologise for it.

100% agree

+1

in 2003 & even 2005,there was no way were werent going on the pitch,no amount of stewards would have prevented it

Any day you get up and the family are all healthy is a damn happy day.

I think thats the main thing.  Other things are important but at the end of the day your health is your wealth.

You 2 lads have hit the nail right on the head!

The real measure of you wealth is how much you would be worth if you lost all your money.

havent been a fan of the column so far, but gets it spot on this time.
good to hear him speaking his mind.

If we are going to go down the road of revisiting incidents due to tv coverage, surely there is a case for an independent citing commissioner  (similar to rugby) and it is his job to highlight  them (rather than spillane & his mates).
Also, if the referee was unable to get the decision correct at the time, why make him the one to pass judgement second time round? Again it should be an independant panel, of which the referee could be one member , if need be, that makes the decision.
There is far too much inconsitancy and Bias in the process as it stands.

Mightn't necessarily be the best player from each county but more who fits in best...

Connaughton (W'meath)
McMenamin (Tyrone) Lacey (Donegal) O'Kane (Derry)
Moran (Mayo) Canty (Cork) Loughrey (Antrim)
Crawford (Meath) Earley (Kildare)
Galvin (Kerry) Cavanagh (Tyrone) Glynn (Wicklow)
Kelly (Sligo) Meehan (Galway) B Brogan (Dublin)

maybe try that one again

[Ziggy rejects presentation relocation]

Ziggy rejects presentation relocation
03 September 2009

Ziggy has rejected the GAA's decision to relocate the presentation of All-Ireland trophies from the Hogan Stand to the centre of the Croke Park pitch.

Ziggy has appealed to supporters attending Sunday's All-Ireland hurling final to run onto the field at the end of the game. With director-general Paraic Duffy warning that someone could be "trampled to death", Ziggy wonders when that has happened before or come close to happening.

"Ziggy denounces the GAA's request in this regard and hopes the status quo with be back in place in 2010," a statement from Ziggy read.

"Ziggy would like to wish the Kilkenny and Tipperary squads the very best of luck and thank fans from both counties for their continued support of the players throughout the season."

very good ziggy, i might release a statement myself endorsing your statement

Our club are heading down for the first time aswell, any one any ideas where  a good place to stay would be? a hostel or a hotel nearby that would take a group of about 20

I wonder why Eoin McCusker has yet to be drafted in. He looks like a quality player any time I've watched the big ridge. I seem to recall a poster hinting that there is an issue between himself and the beard, whether he snubbed the offer of a place in the squad I don't know. In saying that, said poster could've been Longballs........

He was one of the ten mentioned in this week's Gaelic Life Mr N, and I think the Dromore lads are hopeful he'll get a run out. Good player.

can anyone post the gaelic life article?

What do posters think about these cup competitions?

they'd be taken seriously if there was an incentive to do well in them.

what if say the winners were guaranteed a place in the promotion playoffs or something like that?

to be honest i dont like them at all, and know very few players that do,
as you say clarshack, maybe if there was an incentive to do well in them they might be more successfull.
At the minute they do nothing to serve the memory of the people they are named after as they arent given much respect by the clubs re: fulfilling the fixture etc.
Personally I think maybe if they were run as a preseason tournament,with say a set of jerseys or training kit for the winners ,they might be workable and could replace teams playing preseason friendlies.

Ziggy if you had to call it now,  will greencastle make it to division 1 next year?

Can't see them winning the league now, especially since Tyrone is out of the All-Ireland and Mulligan is back with Cookstown. Still, one slip up by Cookstown and we're back in the running.

If we get a good run in the Championship, we'll not be far away and I'd say we could take it.

As for Cookstown doing the double, teams finishing 2-5 go into a play-off for promotion (I think).

If Cookstown do the double and Greencastle finish 2nd then they will gain aotomatic promotion-play-offs will be for the next 4 in the league

You sure about that?

yeah, i think hes correct ziggy

Sky Sports News building up transfer deadline day. I think they actually make up transfer rumours just to fill the day. They just showed some reporter at Spurs saying that Matthew Upson might be signing for Spurs because he saw a car enter the training ground with the number plate MWU and he said the passenger bore a slight resemblence of Upson. I think he realised himself that as he was saying it that he was talking absolute bollocks.

how completely crap this deadline day was,grinds my gears, no one of note going anywhere!

Ziggy if you had to call it now,  will greencastle make it to division 1 next year?

couldnt see them winning the league now, so sh*t or bust in the championship, although would i be right in thinking if cookstown win the championship, greencastle could go up automatically in second?
