If Culloville beat the Ogs they will have had some come back from near certain relegation only 5 or 6 weeks ago.

That'd be the type of them bastids!

Would expect Mullaghbawn to beat Dromintee whose season is already over.
Killeavy should beat Sarsfields whose season is over.
It all depends when Culloville play Pearse Ogs. If they play them next week, expect Ogs to win. If, however they play them the week after Ogs almost certain Championship exit to Cross then expect Culloville to win this game and send Killeavy and Mullaghbawn down. Thats assuming Clan na Gael pick up a point from their last 2 games which is by no means certain. Who have Clans left? I think its St Pats and someone else

The pitch doesn't look to have fully recovered from the re-laying. In fact it looks worse than last week.

Pat Spillane:

'The big thing about Mayo is that they have a good subs bench. Look at Conor Mortiimer for example. Provided he has recovered properly from Michael Jacksons death he is a valuable player to bring on'.

Classic.

Does anyone know the next round of fixtures? Whether or not teams advance in the championship could have a big impact on who gets relegated now. If teams that are already safe get knocked out this weekend then their seasons are practically over.

yawn, yawn. This has to be the most boring column going at the minute. Same old repetitive drivel that doesn't even stand up. Face up to it Mickey, the Railway Cup is a relic from the past which the GAA frantically tried to promote in Dublin schools some years ago giving out free passes for children etc. The result was a 10,000 attendance a load of money spent on promoting and advertising and a hefty tab to pick up which resulted in a loss to GAA coffers. People just aren't interested in this competition anymore.

Martin Donnelly must be the only man who actually thinks his column is interesting. He seems to want to write about any issue except on the games and topical issues of today.

Of his two years in aussie rules he spent 12 months of it out with a career threatening injury. They have nursed him back thru the vfl in the second half of this season and won't rush him into the firsts now. your sources are very wrong as he already has a pro contract on the table.

Well, I suppose we'll not be seeing him in an Armagh jersey anytime soon so. How long of a contract was he offered?

I think I'll be paying the bookies a wee visit this week to see if that 1/4 on Cross is still available.

[Cross 6-20 Drominte 0-05]

What's your club?

Crossmaglen bate us oput the door, think there was 30 or 35 in it at the end.

Dromintee.

Final score: Cross 6-20 Drominte 0-05

Unbelievable scoreline. Can this scoreline to be taken at face value or had Dromintee a ladies team out?

I admire him.

You see, that's the problem, people like you who actually admire the man.

Don't you remember the good old days when no one criticised us for that type of thing? When we rained on no one's parade, so that Kerry, Meath, Dublin, Down, etc., could win without worrying about the white and red; when we were universally admired for the great sports we were; when we never tired of the fruitless pursuit; and when we never won a bloody thing.

Who says you have to resort to these antics to win All-Irelands. Surely you can win All-Irelands AND play the game in the right manner?

Well that should have read number 6, it was a typing error. As for the number 4 well the same things apply to him anyway. You still can't defend Gormley though.

You've little enough to be getting worked up about. Do you defend the goading of his opposite number?

I don't defend any type of goading no matter who it's from. This isn't an isolated incident involving this player. His ability as a footballer will always be tarnished by the antics throughout his career which he obviously deems necessary to give him an edge over his opponents. A decent footballer, yes, but his antics prevent him from being one to be admired.

Jonny Curran has no interest in football.

I'm glad MH ignored your advice about Stevie longball 

why would he defend Tyrones number 4 when the original comment was made about Connor Gormley?

Good point!

Paddy Heaney refusing to eat humble pie today.

Not surprising really as he can't be seen to back track on the basis of 70 minutes football. However the facts speak for themselves. Based on the last 8 0r 9 years this Kerry side has nothing to prove to the likes of Paddy Heaney, Liam Hayes etc. They are one of the finest sides ever probably only bettered by the 70's kerry side and history will judge them as just that. But for Tyrone they would now be attempting 6 in a row.

[red card]

I think every neutral in the country will be willing him on in this crusade. He epitimosises all that is nasty and sneaky in gaelic football. Thinks he is a hardman but its all an act.

Learn to use the quotes properly on this board: red card - off with you!

I'm terribly sorry. I notice you didn't put up any defence of your number 4 though. I'm presuming you can't defend his antics so.

[Thanks, so Tyrone are the best, since they've (Kerry) a 100% failure rate against them!]

Arguably the second best team in history. Four titles this decade, potentially six finals in a row. Not bad for such a poor Kerry side!

Using your logic Mayo are therefore a better team than Tyrone since they knocked them out twice in the last 5 years.

Deal with the facts, Kerry have 4 All Irelands and Tyrone have 3. In fact Dara O'Se has 5 Celtic Crosses. Kerry have been in 7 All Ireland finals and potentially 8 this decade. Tyrone have been in 3. These are facts.

McStay is an annoying pundit but an even more annoying co-commentator. Constantly tries to dramatise the smallest of incidents and loves highlighting any incidens involving physical contsct. He also has an annoying habit of over using the phrases 'he nailed it' and 'big hit'.
