At least as important a factor, though, was the consensus sentiment that football needed help. For all that we had a great championship with unexpected winners, there is a crisis for the GAA in the collapse of attendance, especially in Leinster and an improved game may not be a comprehensive response.But it will be a start.

I'm not sure that any change in the rules will help the Leinster championship.

The new rules are gonna lead to some hammerings again. Dublin will still walk Leinster thumping teams as they go.

I'd love to know how the percentages to pass everything were so high. Take even here as a straw poll, majority against most of the proposals with very valid issues and reasons why - which surely anyone who gives any thought to the implications of the rules should be able to see.

Is there a GAA club in, or near, Holywood?

St Paul's are in Holywood

Thank you. What division are they in, or what championship do they play in?

Division 4 and junior

Thanks

Cookstown will be well behaved next year I'm sure...

If these new rules are given the go ahead, when do they come in to club football? Will it just be from the start of 2025?

Enda McGinley for the Derry job? Was it mentioned that they had their man but he was still involved with his club in championship a while back?

Can't agree with that.

Out of curiosity, where you at it?

Can't agree with that.

Eskra used to be a decent team

One of those clubs that had a once in a generation team that managed to get to division 1 and then unfortunately nothing coming behind to sustain that. They are a better team than that drubbing they got last night.

Two huge calls went against them in the first half. Definite penalty not given when their midfielder was dragged down going though on goal. Ref too far behind play gave 13m free. Then the Aghaloo penalty in injury time at the end of the first half. Never ever a penalty. When you hear the Aghaloo supporters laughing at how lucky they were to get it you know it's a horrendous call.

Eskra went in 4 down at half time when in reality could have been in front if given the penalty and converted, or at very least just a point down without the Aghaloo one. Would have been more reflective of the tight first half.

Second half though was a 10-15 min collapse, which Aghaloo punished severely. They're a very good outfit.

Either them or Drumquin for championship.

Feck me
Bate by 17 points and still blaming the referee 🤣
Unfortunately for Eskra they can't get an Errigal Ciaran ref every week
Would have been much closer if they did

Not blaming the ref. Aghaloo thoroughly deserved to win. But that was a six point swing in the first half. Would it have had a bearing on the final result, who knows -  based on the second half that transpired,  no, but that's a serious swing approaching half time.

As for the Errigal ref thing, you've lost me, but I'm sure the point makes sense to you...

I thought the ref got those decisions right.
The Aghaloo penalty was soft but you're getting a free for it out the pitch with zero complaints. He was tackled and it wasn't legitimate.

Didn't think the Eskra lad was dragged down. Fouled, resulting in him falling over but not dragged down as per the black card offence. Was outside the box - 13m free correctly given.

When the refs officials say it wasn't a penalty then you know he's got it wrong.

As for the Eskra one, he's pulled down on way through on goal. At that stage I was standing on the 21m line at the back of the stand at that end. Perfect view. Penalty.

Who is taking Killyclogher?

What happened to the streaming on Ulster Gaa TV? First two weeks had a game each, none last week and none advertised for this week either. Would have thought Derry v Tyrone would be worth showing

Cavan and Armagh is on it tonight

Is Donegal v Fermanagh being shown too?
