Apparently the problem with trying to renew was that that option only works for the teams who sold out last year. Otherwise you just have to buy a new one

Has anyone tried to renew yet? When I click the link it says "there is no invoice to pay at the moment".

Won by a point and scored the last two points with thirteen men too.

Fair play to them

And Kildare beat Wexford?

Don't know where it's coming from that the Laois match is in Portlaoise. Every official source has it TBC

Yea it has been a great year, the league campaign was absolutely brilliant!
If we can stay in the leinster for next year by beating Laois that'll be great.
Looks like the game v laois will be in laois, doesnt seem too fair, but sure lets go and win it

It says that on the saffrongael website, dunno if its true or not, hopefully not

GAA website has it at Parnell Park. Good news

Pretty sure I saw us beat Galway in a league game in Ballinasloe then we got to the knockout stages of the league and played that great Clare team when no one had realised they were going to be great yet. We realised the day we played them unfortunately lol.

Bate Galway in the league in Casement, won the Walsh cup also 

I was in casement for that match v Galway, Johnny Tosh running at full pelt and released a bullet to the net with the game on the blow when we where 2 down. Some crowd at league games back then and the place was rocking.

Jingo's first match in charge in 2006. Was roaring at Tosh to tap it over when it got it because Antrim were winning all the puckouts at that stage and thought they could scrape a draw. Glad he didn't listen...

Anyone looked for the tg4 app on their smart tv? Is it available up here?

Got it today grand and was working OK

Not that I disagree with you but we were previously at this stage after Environment Minister Mark H Durkan approved planning permission.

Yeah, it's basically December 2013 again, albeit with different plans. Absolutely no guarantee of a different outcome

I don't think there's anything wrong with using penalties but the one change I would make is to have points count. It takes away any argument about aping soccer and it would also throw another variable in that's still a natural part of the game. It would give takers something else to think about. And if it comes down to the final penalty and all a fella has to do is tap it over the bar, then so be it. That happens in matches too

Unfair advantage for the team going second surely?

Sudden death and one team misses, all the next player has to do is pop it over the bar.

Don't miss and you won't be in that situation

[It would be very hard to start hurling from scratch - you just couldn't do it at adult level]

I guess I meant further down than large / glenarm but fair point lol. It is obviously not easy there too. It would be very hard to start hurling from scratch - you just couldn't do it at adult level. Football you can do a bit more with.

True and it will be interesting to see how East Belfast go with that – it won't be easy. Kind of on that subject, Buncrana beat Burt in the Donegal Championship today, five years after they had moved up to adult level – when Burt beat them 16-17 to 1-10 – although they had been building from underage.

Green island. Wouldn't exactly be a stronghold of Gaa or nationalism either.

I get what you are saying hs. Obviously a good thing but does seem a disproportionate amount of press. I think Linda Ervine being involved , not a slight, has ratcheted it up a bit.

Good to have someone looking at a club round the east(ish) Antrim area. That kind of territory is predominantly uvf never mind loyalist. Wonder where they would play at.

[edit] green castle not greenisland

Valley Leisure Centre/Jordanstown as far as I know. And there's been a club smack in the middle of east Antrim for more than 50 years. Just not a football club

St Malachy's parish is centred on the Markets and would stretch up to the Ormeau Bridge

Due to complete failure to steward properly, I'd say Tyrone will lose home advantage, at least for the game v Donegal, possibly more if Croke Park have the cojones.

I think that was the last Tyrone game due to be played at Healy Park for over a year. Drainage works are due to start soon on the pitch.

The NFL Wikipedia page has the game v Donegal at Omagh.
Lucky bastrds, Monaghan lost a home advantage fixture in the NFL,  for mild shennanigans at half time v Kildare, started by Kildare who had a player red carded.

Wikipedia is wrong, Donegal v Tyrone is in Ballybofey
