Perhaps not the result today that Cargin would have hoped for or expected

Rosary beads in hand next week

If there's not 10 points in this against a div 3 team I'd be surprised

I'd agree with this in all seriousness,  I think we are in for a one sided final,  I expect Cargin by 8 or 9 points. Would like to be wrong but I just don't see how they get close to Cargin who are miles ahead of anyone else in footballing terms right now.

Junior championship to stay as is, league to split in two. Massive gap between top and bottom of D3. A split league would give the bottom half teams something achievable to work towards. 3A and 3B both in Junior championship still gives lower half clubs a crack at a big day out.

Small clubs will always have lean spells - Brocagh and Killyman aren't anywhere near amalgamation stage. Will no doubt take a few more trimmings over the next while but we've the stomach to stick it out and bring our youth through.

How come there is always a phone symbol beside your posts Laceer?

Was there a prior connection between the Downey's and St Brigid's or how did that come about? Obviously they've fallen out with Lavey so had to go play somewhere but presumably there was some reason St Brigid's were the chosen club.

Their mother's club AFAIK

Will the people on here be a wee bit more comforted knowing this information and they not just some random blow ins?

Who is the Killyclogher player for St Bridgets?

At the ladies games earlier in Healy Park. Such a sad shame the officiating not of the standard required. Derg scored a last minute goal, girl laid on the ground in the square and plays the ball (already rolling along the ground) into the nets using her hands. Ref gives the goal.

Umpires not neutral, and a row almost breaks out between them due to the contention. Simply guys doing umpire who don't know the rules, and are totally biased. Ref and lineos should do it themselves in such a case. Totally unfair on the players on the pitch. Embarrassment for Tyrone GAA with good crowd in attendance.

Who was playing?

It's sad to see Augher in that position. Weren't they in an intermediate final a few years back?

Played senior football not to long ago, and nearly gave carmen a scare in the championship

Few favourable calls from the ref that day saw Carrickmore over the line iirc. 

[it's a disgrace in a championship fixture not having linesmen]

It will be interesting to see if any suspensions handed out now or will it be brushed under the carpet
BT9 crew very mouthy and nasty is correct.
No linesmen at Rossa/Cargin game either McDermott reffed it well mostly and had his own umpires but it's a disgrace in a championship fixture not having linesmen in no other county would that happen maybe if games were staggered and not all at same time county would have more officials.

So now you agree with Brendan and we can move on.
Cargin's young talent bedding into senior football seamlessly and the old guard still around.  Perfect mix.  They'll be too good for anything else out there unless they're somehow caught on a bad day.

It's very hard to see Cargin being beaten. Creggan seem to have dropped a level and Portglenone while improving are probably a bit off Cargin's level.

Should Cargin not be looking beyond Antrim by this stage. They've have a few runs in Ulster now and they should be pushing on.

Seems lads on here are just content with winning Antrim and having the bragging rights in a local Antrim context.

Absolutely,  no matter how many antrim titles they win,  they need to.progress in.ulster to be in the same conversation as those St Galls teams

Coalisland will finish mid table.....comfortably.

Fintona should have the book thrown at them. But as Trailer said on another thread they'll probably deny all knowledge of who he is.

Why should they have the book thrown at them as a matter of interest? You think Fintona club condone this or will stick up for the perpetrator? Should they have security at under 16 games or what? You can't control what a nutter does.

First thing that needs to happen, no matter who is in charge, is that Tyrone coaches shouldn't be double jobbing with clubs. Tyrone at times this year didn't look sharp, looked jaded. Energy comes from coaching, if coaches burnt out due to clubs then it affects players. 100% focus needs to be on county, players are asked to remove themselves from clubs during county season so why is it acceptable for coaches not to do the same?

Totally agree with this.

There is probably a transition period coming up, it was a scatty enough league and the facts are Tyrone played 5 championship matches this year and won only one.

People got giddy over beating a Donegal squad who were in disarray this year, Saturday was a hammering and could have been more than 12 points.

That result today will only strengthen the club scene from next year. Will be alot of men not wanting to play for Tyrone

Is this a serious post or a wum? I'm guessing wum.

Glenravel promoted from Div 2

Long time in the wilderness.

They do well to stay in D1, fair play to them though,  didn't see them winning the league this year,  they can enjoy the celebrations. When was the last time they where in D1?

D1 tight at the bottom, St Galls in bother? When was the last  time they where out of the top.division?

Today's Down Vs Laois result was a bit of a freak.  People reading too much into it.  A terrible terrible day at the office got Laois, they aren't near as bad as they showed today.

2 tiers in the football I think is best,  no need for a third tier

Good game that advert for the Tailteann Cup.  It definitely is the right way for the GAA to go with this "secondary" competition as it gives a platform for these players to get to croke Park. Things like that encourages the youth within the county
