Good to see Mc Garry get a start see what he is made off

Why is that

It has to end sometime Blanket

In Breffini the other night you were let in the gate then had to go yo another man to get them scanned. When I went it started to lash and he disappeared so never got them scanned at all. Poor set up

Line ball does this rule come into effect from now this year

My eldest lad is 10 and has had the same bite and boil one since he started. The dentist said it was silly to get a fitted one with the rate of losing teeth. He just kept boiling and changing the design to suit him. This year will probably be his last and will get a fitted one after that as all his teeth are down. It helps that his dentist is a footballer who has an interest in it

Never got a chance to check the pen my lap top is messing about what all is on it

Was at the course on sat and really enjoyed it   I thought Sharon maid gab was excellent on nutrition and Early spoke really well. I thought Buckley found it hard to talk with the mic but I reckon he would open up more on a less formal forum like over a few pints. What did surprise me was Mc entee and the way they develope players for senior football all players doing the same warm up so as to make the translation easier from minor to senior. Also how it is the 1st year that cross have a strength and conditioning coach on board. Great day only thing was it was a pity there was no smaller packs the coats are massive

Your right Naka that save won the game for St. Paul's. Great game in really poor conditions. A credit to both sets of players and managers. I thought John Rafferty spent as much time on the field as some players today on top of the referee after every decision against him.

Built one a 7-8 years ago cost about 10 grand. One window and mahogney door and a sliding panel door instead of the roller one better quality and less noise. I plastered the inside in sand and cement. I would advise you to go bigger than you need now as it doesn't take long to fill it up. You can pick up a good steel frame and sheeting shed for less. Still a good job if you go for double skin on the roof to save drips

Totally agree with you WGM. Most of our forwards are corner men who just don't have the power to brake the tackle and create an opportunity. When the ball is delivered in early we look dangerous but we won't do this and continually turn back. We have no leaders on the field who can dictate things. Last night I think we made 3-4 clean catches but yet our keeper continued to kick straight down the middle when we were winning nothing. Roscommon had men running through us at will last night at one stage Kilbride was being tackled by 3 down men and they couldn't get him stopped he then tripped and yet was still able to get the ball away. We replace men with small men as we have no other choice. If Kalum king and Dan Gordon can't offer us something around the middle more than we have now I don't know where we will go. To be honest we stole it last week which probably gave us a false sense of where we are last night a more true reflection. On the sending off I just can't work out when a man is just after getting a yellow why get involved in the next instance that happens I just find that stupid

A lot of changes to a team that won last week. I read somewhere that Roscommon were a very big team from 7 to 12 what size is Magee? He def deserved a run after impressing in the Mc kenna cup. This won't be no easy ride but hopefully Newry will swing it for us

Great win today where I think we mixed the good with some bad also. Defence stood very firm against a good forward line who hit some great long range scores. Midfield competed well and Madine was still running at the end. I think we need to get help up to the forwards quicker we are winning the ball but we don't have a player to give it too within 20 yards. I think we need to drive at defences to get the most out of our forwards to create more help and running of the shoulder to create opening which is how the last goal was created and both Mooney and Turley did this to create scores today but it wasn't done enough. More often we turn back and seem content to go back and forth a lot at one stage today we made 33 passes before we got into the oppositions half. In saying all that we really dug deep today to come away with a win a never say die attitude which is great to see and a willingness for work. Another thing I noticed was that all the players and panel stayed together for the anthem and even after the Kildare team had lined out the down team subs and all were still in a huddle showing a great sign of togetherness which is good to see. All in all a good day with the College also having a good win also
