Yeah yeah, one foot out there and straight back in with both again

You took you chance to try and have a sly dig and now you are back tracking when called out for it..................have the conviction to stand over your remarks and sentiment

Don't let the quite obvious hatred for all things Cargin which TyrDub has cloud the potential reasons for it being difficult, surprised a ref can come on here and be so hostile to the club after being on a line in a high profile game no less than a week ago involving this team 

So not having had a fixture for weeks in u-20 league Cargin are fixed to travel to Musgrave for a 6.15 pm throw in...

Who is paying for the helicopter....?

Was at an U16 Girls football championship match in St Endas last night, 6.00pm start, versus Ballymena!!! No complaints from any of the mummys and daddys who drove their kids to the game.

What seems to be the problem travelling from Toome?

Maybe none of the players working? Maybe Mummys and Daddys working from home and can be away on time.

Whoa whoa lad, take it down a notch. I'm only commenting on the argument about travelling from Toome to Mallusk. I never said it wasn't difficult, I did say though that another team travelled the same sort of distance for a game starting 15 minutes earlier. Far from hostile methinks.

And for the record, I certainly have zero hatred for Cargin, that's all in your head lad

I haven't backtracked over anything, I do still find it weird that 1 club (any club) can complain about travelling to a match when another club did something similar with zero complaints. Why not just turn up play the match as directed?

Would you ever whist lad

whatever you think lad but my stance hasn't changed.

1 question...are you turning up to play the match or not?

Here's the reason why I think it's weird 1 club complains whilst another doesn't...Moneyglass are at the same venue tonight, 15 minutes later granted, but I don't recall hearing any complaints from St Ergnats. It will still be tight getting there to start at 6.30pm

My lad has a pair of Puma Kings but got badly studded on his upper and its sore for days after a match. He reckons he needs a pair with better padding on the tongue/upper. Any recommendations?

Diadorras a good thick boot and not bad looking either.

and worn by Roy Keane as well

Queen's University - there's another days leave for me coming soon

Seeing as its Queens will you not get 2? 

ooh now that would be dead good

Boots seem to have gotten much thinner these days (and the prices are scandalous) Firstly, boycott Puma, and maybe buy a neoprene ankle strapping for a bit extra protection?

Boycott them because they are German?

this must be the reason:

Refs in Roscommon going on strike, all weekend games off!

I think this is the correct move, make a stand & force a change of culture in the GAA. The verbal abuse referees get is not acceptable either. The state law should be applied to assaults on GAA grounds too.

About time someone took a stand

Sure you just make an appeal and get off anyway so they should not bother have referees anymore, let everyone at it and we can have faction fighting like the good old days. And before you throw stones at the GAA ask yourselves how many times has your club or county made appeals against the decision of a referee. There is a culture in the GAA of their being no accountability for anything so why would you stop abusing the ref, players, mentors, coaches etc and that culture is from top to bottom and from bottom to top.

As someone with experience of this, as soon as punishments come out clubs have a tendency of closing ranks and circling the wagons, especially if the punishments go beyond the individual and affect the club itself. That is when the murky world of appeals and attempts at mitigating punishments comes into it's own.

[If he was from your club how many people your club would give witness statements to the Garda or PSNI do you think? The answer is less than 1. That is the issue.]

That guy should be looking at a criminal record. But is it any different from a corner forward striking the corner back?

The GAA are there own worst enemy on this. Shitty appeals, people getting off and it gives the impression that you can do whatever you want.

If the club won't cooperate and they conspire to hide the guilty party, they should be booted the f**k out of all competitions until they see the light.

The GAA and GAA culture is far too indulgent of nonsense and violence all across the board.

+1

I am assuming there is a typo on the Antrim website and randalstown didn't score 70 goals and 7 points in their u15 division 3 game.

Probably not far off, far too strong for div 3, but why change the habits of a lifetime eh?

website says they "only" scored 7-07, what's the hullaballoo?

Did anyone see this last night? Interesting programme, Rob Hennelly came across very well, he went through hell on the pitch and off it too.

Very relevant, especially when Ursula Jacob speaks out too.

O'Connell St has always been a kip. That whole area is a no go after dark. I've been in Dublin since 95 and it's never been an area I'd go near of a weekend. When students we would go to fibber magees but it was all students. The street itself has had a lot of money spent on it but it's the locals that are the main issue.

at risk of sounding racist (which I am not) it seems like its not just the "locals", its the blow-ins

There were no festivals of football In belfsdt that the boys are talking about in the country mr2

Multiple tournaments currently run by clubs  every year, ourselves Rossa Lamhs St Paul's all over at under age ...

There was plenty go game tournaments when I was looking after juvenile teams also, whether  the name festival of football/hurling  was used or not it was and is essentially go games.

But certainly I remember days spent at Woodlands/Corrigan/Milltown either being part of or running these games.

Go games for football and hurling are run on alternate weeks in SA , the only difference is that   SA is limiting the number of visting teams to one club only   as a carry over from Covid ! Hopefully get back to multiple clubs in the near future !

Can understand that, our May tournament and Pat Sheehan tournament only started back this year after covid, but Belfast GAA man was stating we don't or didn't have tournaments or go games in the past with multiple teams.

Rossa held the Annul joe McKelvey tournament 3 or 4 weeks ago, 16 teams from all over Antrim, plus some Down and Tyrone clubs. Brilliant tournament won by St Pauls
