Genuine question, why have Drumquin struggled for numbers over the last decade?

Fixtures should be out in the next few days I'm told.

If proposals go through tonight no one will be relegated. The change to 4 divisions means no team will be relegated this year.

Incorrect, 2 would be relegated from Div 2 and 6 would be promoted from div 3 or they may opt to go with 1 relegated and 5 promoted but there will def be relegation.

Sorry but it's you that's  incorrect. Was stated numerous times at the meeting that there would be no relegation this year. Division 2 will be made up of bottom 8 teams in Division 2, JFC championship winners and top 3 in Junior. Division 3 will be made up of bottom 12 in Division 3 this year.
There may be a counter proposal tonight regarding this from a club but that is the proposal from CCC

Apologies, my mistake only relegation this year will be from Div 1 to Div 1B.

[Surely that transfer hasn't actually happened yet! (If it happens at all)]

It's done.

The window for transfer applications is 1st January to 1st March. Approvals/rejections only happen after that window closes. So no it can't be done.

This is incorrect! Once transfer is requested to county board then club that is losing the player has 8 days to respond, if no response transfer automatically goes through as long as it is eligible, i.e home or work address is within parish of new club.

How does that go against what I said? I'm aware that's how it works.

You have said "Approvals/rejections only happen after that window closes" this is not true, Approvals/rejections will happen after 8 days is up from when transfer is logged. So if transfer logged on 1st Jan and club player is leaving does not respond within the 8 days then transfer automatically approved by 9th Jan.

PS. This is only for transfers between clubs in the same county.

Also some parishes have more than one club so this is where you tend to to see more transfers occur. ie Dungannon/Edendork.

Fee is only £2.50 per person I believe

Conor McKenna is away back already

I think Killeeshil should pip Newtown this weekend.

[Why no sympathy?]

Sympathy in short supply for the lads at Loughmacrory anyway.

Its only a matter of delaying the inevitable regardless.
Why no sympathy?

Their players have been behaving poorly about two years now - IF they go up, we'll see if that continues...D1 teams will not stand for that type of caper.

What are the D1 teams going to do in terms of not putting up with it? Can't exactly retaliate and get the line? That's playing into what they want..

Let's just say I would be hugely surprised if any team in D1 let Loughmacrory get away with some of the shite they (apparently) have been at over the past year. They'll not go to Dromore, Ardboe, Coalisland, Clonoe and the likes and get away with that nonsense.

Cookstown tried that behaviour in D1 awhile ago too. Very few teams in senior football will let a newly promoted team bully them or attempt to.

Cookstown of 2010-2013 came to mind here. They became the most hated team in the county for a while. It hasn't ended well for them in the long term however they did win 2 all-irelands. Lochmacrory doing a cookstown without the silverware

Has to be from the East if he is typing Clougher!

I think penalties after a replay would be a fair enough outcome. I have sympathy for the Rock and Trillick going out on penalties first day out but that social media post from the Rock is embarrassing.

No sympathy for the Rock whilst they keep dropping to Junior to pick up silverware.

The Derry club championship has only recently changed back to a straight knock out system. They used to have groups and games were played in a round robin system. They ditched it because there ended up being some meaningless games and very poor attendances. There is nothing wrong with the Tyrone championship but there is with league fixtures so why are we discussing about changing the championship??

Loughmacrory making waves around the county again for all the wrong reasons. Refusing to change the game today after a death in the Strabane club leading Strabane to concede the game. Very unnecessary.

Lough changed the time of the game twice at Strabane's request, first til 2pm then til 11am. Then Strabane decided not to field.
