Will Leeds be capable of beating Brentford away on Sunday? If not Burnley, Everton will stay up regardless of their results.
Stevie Gerrard resting Coutinho and Ings tonight so they can be fresh and ready to lose the league title for their former club Liverpool on Sunday.
Are Ballykinlar fielding mens team this year?
I remember they were in the East Down Reserve at one stage.
I think County Board also tried to help out with coaching.
Caolan Mooney’s season over, torn ACL
One of the aristocrats of Down club football cannot field a seconds team for the last two weeks. How can Bryansford be struggling for numbers?Aristocrats?Where do you get all these terms and ideas from?Regional reserve leagues?
Yes with a play off of the winners and runners up to win all county league. If you look at the DNF for the weekend, Bryansford not traveling to Carryduff, Saval not going to Loughinisland and Annaclone not traveling to Downpatrick. Less travel for reserve players means a better chance the fixture will be played.
I think what he is getting at is that the Down method of running their Dev squads is not yielding results( U16's only meeting 6 out of 33-35 possible weeks---ridiculous if true) whereas Tyrone's method over the years of putting real work into their Dev squads has and probably will continue to reap rewards.That's twice today our paid employees that been brought into the various conversations on the ills of Down football.BothSo TruthHurts,Tyrone have got it wrong all these years.Accountability and transparency are huge factors.Have a friend who's son is on the Down U16 Dev Squad and a nephew who is on the Tyrone U16 one.The Down squad are scheduled to meet 6 times from the start of the year up to the end of August.Tyrone have met at least twice every three weeks but it's mostly weekly around this time of the year.Manager of the Down squad is Benny Coulter.
Without them, there is no integrity and people lose confidence and have no faith in decision-makers and the structures they apparently uphold.
When you hear about task forces, steering committees, focus groups, think tanks etc it pretty much smells of bullshit, smoke and mirrors. And for a long time people in the county have been blinded by the bullshit and swallowed it whole.
A brush should be taken to that county board and the unelected figures in the background that use them as puppets roaded.
Jobs for the boys.
What is your point, a quick glance on social media would see that Down u15 and u16s have been playing plenty of matches? What would be the point of taking kids halfway across the county to train when they are already getting coaching 2-3 times a week in their clubs with a match on a Monday night!
BTW that is a gripe of mine, carrying 50 odd lads on a development squad !!
Apparently Mooney is back in the Down camp.
We're doing it correctly and getting exactly what for this good practice?
I do not get what you are getting at?probablypaid Managers in other Clubs.
They meet every weekend, this is enough. They develop in their schools and clubs more.
You know folks, sometimes seasons just fall apart.
Usually the best thing everyone can do is just accept it, reach the end of the season as quickly as possible, take a break from each other, and come back with charged batteries and focus.
Withholding players from clubs during the Tailteann Cup is, in my mind, madness. Actually, training for this competition is madness. There is no thirst for it among players, supporters, managers or administrators. Forcing players to choose between club competitions they really want to play in (most of them anyhow) and county competitions they are meh about, well that’s just daft.
So just send the players back to their clubs, and field a team in Tailteann when the day comes.
i usually dont listen to him but have the last few mornings will probably stop once it calms down
dont feel lke you have to explain yourself lad, free world,
Have a life?
Why wouldn’t they have a life If they were playing for Down?
They train a few nights a week like most clubs and played most matches this year on a Saturday
What Down players don’t have a life
