WTF, he brings Martial off? This man is an absolute clown, if Mourinho gets whacked United may as well give him a shot because he cant be any worse than LVG.

Yeah, I don't get when they'd abolish the football and not the hurling. I don't think they even want to abolish the football, probably their starting position to be negotiated back to any U21 player becoming ineligible once they have played a senior match.
Yeah. It's only less daft because the optics of scraping underage IC over the age of 17 in the most popular sport in Ireland because the GAA has created a mangled calendar is so bad. Both ideas non-runners. Sigerson league needs to disappear into oblivion so the Sigerson can be played in Sept-Dec. And a bonus would there would be absolutely no reason for colleges to be in the IC January competitions because their season would already be over.
I would have to agree with Croi here. The problem is that the elite players are playing too much. I do not feel it would reduce the standard. In fact by making younger elite players have fewer commitments at that age group it should make them less prone to injury and may improve the standard at senior level in the long term. Other players who may not have fully developed may get a chance at under 21 and improve too.
I would suggest also that a rule could simply state that an under 21 player cannot play senior football in any year until the under 21 championship is over., or if he plays senior in that time he is ineligible for under 21.
I am not a great fan of the under 17 idea. Most championship matches in Ulster anyway take place when exams are over and any that go to university cannot play Sigerson in first year. A big gap.

I think until the Rooney situation is resolved (i.e. he is replaced by a decent striker) judgement must be reserved. The current period reminds me of just before Cantona was signed. United were boring, couldn't score, but were very solid at the back, conceding nothing. Cantona arrived and everything slipped into place. Luckily for Ferguson back then there was no transfer window and he was able to move for Eric in November. LVG will have to wait until January at the earliest. Not the greatest time to buy but they have to. Supposing Rooney was playing well - what would happen if he got injured for a time?
Quote from: Milltown Row2 on October 31, 2015, 02:45:44 PMFourth in the league,winning a cup would be the targets and both are achievable
I'd say fourth at the very least is secured
Quote from: snoopdog on October 31, 2015, 08:29:43 PMMartial has played on the wing for Monaco. LVG style of play is low risk football and he won't change to entertain a few supporters. I think Paul Scholes is right United are all system now and give very little room for individuals to impress themselves.
I am sick to death of the bollix van Gaal has united playing week in week out. Most boring team in the league. Create nothing and he plays martial out on the wing. The man hasn't a clue. Sooner we get rid the better.
Quote from: seafoid on October 28, 2015, 05:48:27 PMYes a Mayo man. With Horan saying no to a return the appointment of Rochford seems a formality at this stage.
Is the Corofin manager not from Mayo? would he be in with much of shout ?

Ox and Theo off injured. Injury jinx starts again.

A Clann v. Corofin final would match the two most successful clubs in the history of the Connacht championship..
Clann and Castlebar meet in the 1988 and 1993 Connacht finals, Clann won the 1988 encounter but Castlebar won the 1993 final after a replay.
Quote from: mjg on October 15, 2015, 11:16:45 PMIt seems that the players didn't want James Horan to leave and now want him back.
The year is almost finished,the players would want to get off there arses and choose there manager
