Quote from: J70 on Today at 12:27:47 PMQuote from: Keyser soze on May 15, 2024, 09:53:35 AMMy god there are some crying hoors in the GAA who want everything for free, I surely hope they are over represented on this board or the organisation is truely in trouble.
Crying about the price of tickets to games, and the price of diesel to get to games, and how much a feed costs, and having to get a ticket for the wains, and not getting to see every game on FTA tv, and the game they just saw was lateral shite, and the forward mark, and the studio analysis, and negative managers, and people coming to the door selling tickets for their club, and the amount of money the GAA has, and the lack of money the GAA gives our club, ad nauseum ad nauseum ad nauseum.
And then thinking they are great GAA men when they've not ever wore a shirt or even washed a shirt.
I would say the vast majority of posters on here are not even GAA members.
You forgot the referee being biased against their team! Every single game!
Quote from: snoopdog on Today at 07:40:35 AMSpurs had a great season and they're only 6 pts, 2 wins better than a bad United side. If United by some miracle win the Cup, Ten Hag has had a better season than the Farewell Flopp. The main issue with that team is being constantly over run in the middle. 1 correct purchase could be worth an extra 10 points next season, but it's not too often utd get it right in the transfer market this last 10 years or so.Another big issue has been injuries. Near 70 separate cases of injuries this season with 14th different centre-back combinations and no natural left back for the majority of the season. If Ten Hag is kept on for another season the injury riddled season will be taken into account and it's known with a lot less injuries last season finished 3rd and won the league cup.

Cargin also scored a few late goals when the game was dead to put a gloss on the scoreline??
Listen I have seen many people comment on here within last 12 months about Bakers negative tactics, I commented something similar after watching them last night.
Ballymena scored their goal along with 3 or 4 points in the last 10 mins, Cargin were 7 points up at half time ended up scoring 6 goals, could have been 10. Just being honest.

Ballymena are a well organsised team to be fair to them, just prob need to work on the fitness to keep the lung busting forward runs required up for 60mins
Quote from: lurganblue on Today at 01:16:50 PMWould this be the same as it is in basketball though where you can go back into your own half for an inbound/sideline ball in the last 2 minutes of the game and last 2 minutes of extra time?Quote from: Rufus T Firefly on Today at 11:27:33 AMQuote from: Armamike on Today at 09:51:31 AMQuote from: thebigfullforward on Today at 08:07:30 AMQuote from: omagh_gael on May 12, 2024, 05:33:53 PMCan you imagine how good this game could have been if they decided to play a decent brand of football? The score taking has been unreal but despite that the enjoyability of the football is pathetic.What would you suggest?
I know McGuinness wouldn't give a f**k about that but I really hope the football review group implement some form of strategy to negate this anti football shite.
We can't keep messing about with the rules of the game just because we don't like how teams are playing the game. There's been enough of that over the years. The answer isn't in 13 aside or any other mad cap notion. It's in new, innovative coaches coming on the scene with a different approach. And there will be at some point.
100% agree with this. There is constant tinkering with the rules. Get rid of the forward / defensive mark and then leave well alone.
I'd more or less be on board with this. I'd like to introduce something like in basketball whereby once you cross the opposition 50m you cant go back. I think that would be easy enough policed by all officials too. I realise something like this is unlikely to ever be introduced though, so just removing the advanced/defensive mark would be grand.
Quote from: Armamike on Today at 09:51:31 AM100% agree. Is there another sport in the world that changes rules as often? Just let the game develop. Players used to kick the ball away 9/10 times they got it so I don't see how thats any more enjoyable than what's being played at the minute. Some people need to appreciate what we have moreQuote from: thebigfullforward on Today at 08:07:30 AMQuote from: omagh_gael on May 12, 2024, 05:33:53 PMCan you imagine how good this game could have been if they decided to play a decent brand of football?

Quote from: Manning18 on May 14, 2024, 04:25:20 PMQuote from: Wildweasel74 on May 14, 2024, 04:02:01 PMConor Lane, didn't give a stonewall penalty on O'Boyle, which would drew the game if scored. From the same play Galway broke up the field to score a goal from Cummins.
I was down in front of that getting drenched Wasn't a pen. I do remember Lane giving Galway 2 or 3 soft frees alright that Gary Sice kicked over. Derry were hard done by but considering Galway nearly won by double scores in the end it's a stretch to say he was the difference. Neither team were going anywhere fast that year
Brendan Cawley is in the middle Sunday, the worst referee in the rotation by a country mile. Hopefully he can have as little impact on proceedings as possible but I won't hold my breath
How are Derry shaping up injury wise aside from McGrogans unfortunate long term issue?
