GAA Discussion / Re: Seconds teams
Today at 10:59:26 AM
We've done it over the years in both hurling and football.. after dropping out of the senior team and playing reserve football back in the day it was a decent club day out, reserves before seniors and few pints and head home, super Sundays..

Then the kids changed, they'd rather sit on a senior bench than turn out for reserves, standards dropped and interest also..

We went down the road of reserves playing in lower leagues, definitely better than the reserve set up, but you need a pool of 25 players, just in case of call ups to the seniors, not all clubs have that.

But we've been back to the reserve set up but with the reserves on after the seniors! No buzz about it, ref'd one last year, it was brutal

I much prefer a second team in a league, in fact I much prefer them competing for junior and intermediate if they are at that level, but ensure no messing with team selections come championship, teams have to be strictly graded and assessed before season starts.

These lads that don't make senior ever, deserve to win an all county championship also, I can see why they can't progress into Ulster, that's understandable too

Scheffler keeping it interesting for the rest anyways

So when Scottie has a mare it's the reason why it's interesting!

Someone else has a mare he's dung!

Have back Colin at 11/2 this morning, think he's the bit between his teeth

Morikawa is looking good, Scottie just keeps plugging away and Schauffele dropping away last week might come back and haunt him again..

11/2 for Colin looks a good price

Poor aul Pat was a bit of a renegade had his own rules! Got excommunicated... when you think of some of the ones that weren't excommunicated...
God Rest Him 🙏

He did a lot of stuff with Eurochildren when it began..

I remember we got held up at Heathrow one trip and had to stay over. Me and a friend were in the room next door to his at the hotel and he lost the plot with us as we'd the music blasting lol!

He wasn't the worst

Not sure if she personally broke the rules, never seen an official list, that's immaterial though.

The reality was that it made the news because members of SF who were in government were 'seen' to flaunt the rules

That was and is an own goal. Those responsible? Those that turned up who weren't invited I'd assume?

Not the responsibility of the family though, no controlling that

Quote from: imtommygunn on May 17, 2024, 07:06:22 PMDid you listen to the Maurice Deegan podcast MR? If not you should. He talked about expenses and stuff too.

Link?

Wouldn't be his biggest fan if I'm being honest lol

My father had his service from the same church, we had the 30 or so that was allowed but from the short journey from his home the place was packed with mourners, and outside the church it the service was played on a screen

Great clubman of ours had his funeral during that period, plenty lined the streets and we insured distance and so on..

There were plenty of funerals up and down the country that did their best to stay within the rules, and failed but Storeys will only make the news.

It's embarrassing that it's still a bone of contention, that said, it was always going to come back and bite them in the ass.
