Agree with Bogieman too...great post by the way. The kid did the wrong thing (for whatever the reason) but throwing him into oblivion wouldn't be in keeping with the club's or the GAAs welfare policy. He made a mistake as we all do, but the GAA has a much bigger role to play in our communities than fulfilling a sporting competition. As Bogieman says, be bigger than that.

Yeah it is a bit of a kick in the stones and embarrassing for a club like Dunloy who are doing brilliant work at underage but hopefully when that settles down there is a way back in for this lad. I think with young fellas in particular we have to understand mistakes in judgement can be made and as such a life sentence does not need to be passed down.

Agree...great post Bogieman. I couldn't understand it but as H says it may have been to play with his mates or whatever and at 21 or 22 years of age or whatever he is he's only a child and could do with a hand or an arm round the shoulder as Bogieman says

When I look back at the decisions I made at that age, some of which were massive and life changing, made with no guidance, I hadn't a clue

DR I missed your game on Tuesday but a couple of my son's and their friends were at it, and I believe you got out of jail....or made the comeback of all time depending on what version you believe. I'll definitely make a point of seeing the "replay!

yeah we made very hard work of it. 3 of the 4 goals were criminal to concede and made our job harder than it should of been.

at the end up we were lucky to get a draw but being 9 points down they didn't drop the heads and stuck at it to get a result.

was impressed with Moneyglass. very well organised defensively and able to translate the blanket defence into a good counter attack each time.

The Dunloy v Moneyglass U21 A championship play off game is set for Ahoghill 2pm on Saturday.

[Hectic]

Looks as well like a number of teams did not field in at least 1 game in U21 groups. What is the craic here? Do these teams get booted out or do they get to come back in when it splits into A and B?

[Belfast GAA man]

Well if Dunloy didn't get booted out for cheating they can hardly boot out teams who tried unsuccessfully to field within the rules

[Hectic]

Haha and that is how quickly things can deteriorate.

You sure do they were impressive against us in final last year and blitzed Cargan in group game this year. They play the same system with U21 and Senior and it works for them.

I hear st pauls are currently filing a motion so that all clubs can go through to the A section......
