Good article in today's Irish News about the rigorous demands on current IC (and Club) footballers.

This year has seen many high profile retirements with many stating they couldn't adhere to 4 or 5 nights a week training, do you think the demands are too high and we are losing quality footballers at too early an age?

In many other sports someone in their early 30s is regarded in their peak. Marty Clarke doesn't look like he is going to commit to Down due to the 5 nights a week training structure. Personally I think it's all gone a bit crazy.

Worth going to ?

Tempted to go this year.

Wanting to watch a replay of the Sunday game but it won't let me, can this not be viewed in the North ?

My internet is through BT, not sure if that has anything to do with it, although I have just seen that it offers the service to people in the 'Island of Ireland' so a tad confused..

Been too long since we've had one of these caption competitions..
