Another South West Treble this season and it'll be a North Antrim Treble in the hurling.

What is going in the City?

Got tired of winning Ulster and all Irelands

With no involvement this weekend and the conclusion of the championship in sight at Corrigan the two best teams have arrived.

Cargin massive favourites and any nonsense said on here will have absolutely no bearing at all on the result

Cargin would need to have a very bad day and not recover long enough within the game to lose it as proven very recently in a final that they had the worst possible starts, red card on one final and load of points down in another to come back and win.

Portglenone have potential and are not turning up to fill in, they would need to convert 90% of their chances and need a minimum of 2 goals to have a chance, Cargin don't give up a lot of goal chances either so its a struggle

Ports are in the final for the first time in a while and that is also something to contend with, expectations and so on. Their best approach is to have a go at it, as sitting back will mean only one winner based on previous teams that have tried that approach.

Will look forward to the match reports on here afterwards, be away this weekend so might not get to see it unless back earlier.

Shouldn't Refs be speaking out behind the scenes?

Behind the scenes? was there no current refs part of this team?

I like the tap & go rule with frees

What's the point in the 1 v 1 for the throw ups? How's that going to make games be less negative?

It's going to be hard for your average club refs to police a lot of these.
One team on the attack they will have to turn and count the number of people in the other half while keeping an eye on where a shot is being taken from to see if it's a 2 pointer

Again I question the understanding these people have of 99% of the actual playing membership.

Completely elitist

The vanishing foam to mark where the free kick should be taken should be a no brainer to introduce. The yards being stole by free kick takers is getting worse. I am not sure why referees aren't penalising this as it is.

Taking a few yards is done by both teams and not punished, so its only a problem for the team that hasn't got a free, as they don't complain when their own free taker does the same thing, unpunished.

But I've said the foam is a good option as its a physical line they see, also the referee's watch could be blue-toothed to the clock at pitch side, so when he stops his watch for subs/injuries then the supporters can see, exactly what time is left, rather than 'injury time' once the clock hits 30 (per half) whistle blown.

Cuts out that crying from supporters and management about added time and so on

Reminds me  of Father Ted telling  the old women  to go home to their husbands.

"Remember when your husband tried to  heat up his dinner... and lost a leg". (Or along those lines)

Have put my back out myself with a sneeze but that's more age relative!

I like a good loud sneeze, if my daughter doesn't shout down the stairs after I sneeze, did I sneeze at all?

Every western nation is undergoing some form of coordinated demolition and very soon we'll become enslaved in an AI controlled one world form of governance

Could all be living in a Matrix type life now for all we know

Controlling the weather?

Discuss.

Yes we are controlling the weather by abusing the planet, so while she is a complete f**king loony, governments around the world are currently making the weather the way it is.

People like her would have been burned at the stake a few hundred years ago, the downside to a modern world 

You're all for it but then you say most of the rules are silly  and won't be implemented?!,

Nothing about the handpass, throw points or "push" goals.
Does anything in the new proposals stop sideways backwards passing or the other team standing back letting them at it?

Is there currently a rule that you can throw a point? What's wrong with "push" goals?

Think the distinction between throwing a ball and pushing it is clear enough? To throw the ball the player will have taken possession of the ball? and pushing it means he hasn't taken possession of the ball and steers it into the net? a bit like if two midfielders climb to contest the ball at the throw in and one player palms the ball to his midfield partner?

Not sure what you mean about the difference?

A number of the club championship matches over the weekend seemed to be affected by a strong wind favouring one team in each half. Under the proposed new rules which t quote the BBC website
"will reward long-range shooting with scores from outside a newly constituted 40-metre arc - bar converted 45s - which go over the bar being worth two points as opposed to one. In addition, goals would be worth four points"
Is there any incentive for a team playing against the wind to come out of the 40 metre arc?

As I see it the best choice is to limit goal chances and force teams to shoot from distance. Even with the possibility of 2 points for the score from outside the arc, would the majority of club teams (at all levels) have a set of regular scorers from this distance.

I've no idea what this change is going to do to improve the quality of the game. I really think they all must have sat in a small air tight room and smoked a few joints and came up with these ideas!

Someone had mention 13 Lives recently, a Ron Howard film with Coin Farrell (and others) I'll not mention the storyline for fear of giving it away 

But very good, bit of a emotional rollercoaster

Tight for time theses days, this will save me having to watch the show, thanks men 

In fairness, its the first scene, not really a spoiler

Emmm.. Just putting this out there, what if one hasn't watched the first scene?

Well then this topic on the thread has spoiled it for you.

It wasn't that good anyways

Am i the only only who don't really believe the Menendez brothers? Ive a feeling they've been caught and are both 2 psychopaths and have decided to fabricate a large proportion of this.

Who knows what goes on in peoples house behind close doors

But they did blow their heads off, they were loaded anyways regardless of whether it was for money or that they were both psychopaths, though having two brothers as psychopaths would be high enough odds I'd assume?

They avoided the death penalty, so they can be thankful enough for that, I don't buy they killed them first before they were going to be killed, but there may be some truth about the abuse that went on, whether that gives you a reason to do what they did is another thing

Have you any more history lessons soupy?

At what point do you go back in history to validate the Israeli rule in that area?

Is it just dates that suit?
