On page 1916 of the Down thread what's the view on the appointment of Gearoid Adams as assistant to Eamonn ? particularly interested in the views of the Clonduff posters.

head of PE for St Louis Grammar School (Ballymena) (used to teach in Red High) , former county player hopefully he can bring more experience in to the set up. good luck to him.

I would love to know what his role will be.  Is his role different to Cathal Murray, is he an actual coach?  He obviously has experience of managing at both club and county but to what degree.  Say it had been Peter Donnelly brought in, well we know what he would have been doing.  What will Gearoid bring to the table?

Did we not only have 3 games at home this year as well. Always thought it was year about, 3 at home one year, 4 at the next year. But as you say not to bad on the travelling front.

Paddy Murray talking in Gaelic life about the referees needing to decipher what is a foul and whats not before Sundays game!! oh the Hypocis!!

Funny how he says that now! AFTER they come out of Down (where they have the calls going the right way)

He also talks about how Slaughtneil are looking beyond Kilcoo, that they think its already won! the same statements that Joseph Donnan had wrote and for which Kilcoo demanded an apology for inferring a lack of respect on their part.

They have been getting the 50-50 calls in Down for a long time now and in some cases 30-70 calls when the referee's have been squeezed enough.

When you go into Ulster at this time of year, the ground is heavier, slippier, referees will allow it to flow and the players just have to deal with it.

Our run of fixtures could have been much worse, and we have avoided most of the long away trips. Sheedy asks about last season but we had four home games then - Fermanagh, Meath, Kildare and Galway. Much can happen before the spring but we really should be in the mix for promotion.
