Tyrone / Re: Tyrone Club Football and Hurling
« on: August 10, 2022, 03:04:56 PM »not a fan if no playoffs
This year is strange, league will be done on 4th September, and championship will be done before play offs begin. Understandable this has to be done incase a team in play off spots wins championship etc, but a team could go out in first round of championship (scheduled for 15th-19th September) and then play offs won’t start until after championship final so I reckon first round of play off will be weekend of 22nd October. A very long 5 week wait. Again, I understand and fully agree with league being over before championship but think it is a good idea to get rid of play offs if the ambition is to finish league every year before championship begins.
5 weeks is a long time to be waiting around therefore it makes sense to have the leagues completely wrapped up. it just means that there will be more dead rubbers towards the end of the league season.
I agree but that is what is facing teams this year. Eg if cookstown/tattyreagh/Eskra in d2 finish in relaxation play off spots, they are waiting 5 weeks to play the play off game if they were to be beat in first round of champo. It’s a hard one to keep teams going
maybe 3 up and 3 down could limit the amount of thrown games. league and championship winners promoted along with 2nd place in league. bottom 3 in league above down.

« on: August 10, 2022, 01:10:00 PM »So folks what do we reckon about 10 year fixed deals, a lot cheaper/lower interest rates than previously. Very little difference in 5 year/10 year fixed deals. Where do we think interest rates are going? Obviously going up now but hard to tell how far and how soon
get 10 year fixed if you know you won't be getting divorced or have to sell your house for some other reason as it will really cost you to come out of the deal.

« on: August 10, 2022, 12:41:58 PM »I just seen Clonoes last 4 are Coalisland, Carmen, Derrylaughan and Trillick.. Are we looking at a real possibility that 2 points from the last 4 will not be enough to keep them up ? They would be the biggest club in a while to be in that position - don't seem to have much coming through underage either by the looks of things
They have had excellent U-13 and U-15 teams this year in Grade 2 and the fact there's not many teams in Grade 1 these days would suggest they would have been decent in Grade 1 had they been in it. Obviously if those players were to come through to senior it's going to take years so there's no guarantees.
Moortown also have a very difficult run in and mightn't pick up any more points.

« on: August 10, 2022, 12:08:24 PM »Clonoe v Coalisland this Sunday.
This game is MASSIVE for Clonoe.
McKernan and Devlin back from Amerikay
Can they play straight away or do they have 30 days to wait.
Maybe that isn't a thing anymore.
if you have spent more than 30 days in the states you can play as soon as you come home.

Tyrone / Re: Tyrone Club Football and Hurling
« on: August 10, 2022, 10:20:41 AM »i dont think the gaa should bow down to relgious services (assuming it was a religious wedding) would they call matches off if a player wanted a match off because of ramadan i know its a hypothetical
Where would it end? What about a christening? An 18th birthday party?
A funeral I can understand because it's a mark of respect but a wedding? Not for me.
Heard there is a history with the 2 clubs so maybe that has clouded his judgement when posting it.
Also heard Pomeroy have applied to get their match with Gortin moved now after hearing about this. Hugh Pat getting married that weekend. Be interesting to see what Gortin do...
Update... to nobody's suprise they have refused the request. Hypocrites.
Facebook rant looks very silly now.
very embarrasing to call people scum and then go and do the same thing.

Hear all these reports about how, with no travelling to work and no holidays etc., people saved a lot of money.
I find it hard to believe that people saved a lot of money.
A lot of people spruced up their houses with whatever extra disposable income they had.

GAA Discussion / Re: Kerry v Galway, All-Ireland Senior Football Final. 24 July, 2022
« on: August 03, 2022, 10:56:52 AM »Are you sure about that? More like they were in div 1 and now back in div 3 since the two players retired.David Clifford kicked 1-9 for Fossa in their 1-14 to 0-10 win over Listowel Emmets today, just a week after his All-Ireland winHow are Fossa a junior team if they have the 2 Clifford's. How bad must the other 13 players be
Sure did Moy not have like 4/5 on the County Panel at a stage languishing in Intermediate??
Jordan 2 Cavanaghs Holmes and Mellon?
Clan na nGael were in junior with Brian Dooher and Stephen ONeill.
Clan were definitely a junior club when the 2 maestros were in their prime
They won Junior in 1997 in what would have been Dooher's 2nd season with the Tyrone senior team and with O'Neill a Tyrone minor. They then won Intermediate the following season and were Senior for a very long time after that. So both players played Senior mostly in their prime.
