How will Joe feel now that his favourite team Crossmaglen, have done  a Kildare and poached a young player from a Junior club in Monaghan.

It's just something that I have been thinking about recently. I hear people saying, such an a person is a good trainer or such an a person is a good coach but what I witness is that everyone does the same the same thing. A few drills with some variations and a lot of cones. Could someone tell me how one stands out from trhe other?

When the "New Rules" ie. Fist Pass, Square Ball and Mark are passed at the weekend, it will not give club players and club refereees much time to familiarise themselves with them especially in county where the club championship will be commencing in the next few weeks.
Is this fair!

I have just read in the Irish Star that Peter the Great has said that the GAA doesn't give a toss about the club player.
This is something that I wholehaertedly agree with. The club programme is stuffed in anywhere at a moment's notice, normally in late autumn and winter yet the hierarchy claims that the club is the grassroots of the association. I say it is just a mechanism to make money for the county boards to develop elite county teams.

Does the GAA need to review it'd competitions? I think that there is little importance being attached to a number of major competitions. the Railway Cups are dead in the water but still continue and my feeling is that the National League is heading in the same direction with small crowds, little publicity, particularly the first division with managers claiming that they have no interest in winning it and only using it as experimental. No one seems to perturbed when their county loses. How can things be spiced up like the rugby?
