They may quit because they can't play with their friends!!! now are you telling me these lads have no friends playing with them in athgarvan. the parenst are fuckin tossers and that arguement is null and void.

then they may go to play rugby...when? so they will be playing nothing in the off season ie the GAA season.

these lads are gossurs and when you were that age did you really even think about transferring clubs. ideas like this are planted without doubt. when we were all U14 just playing was great.

its all the parents who obviously have no real love for athgarvan. these lads could help the team become a force if they are so good and help the club.
i have huge respect for the likes of derek mccormack who is putting ballykelly on the map.

i am disgusted at the usual sound cliona foley for printing this poo.

ah yes romeo we have special people who shout for kildare.
i nearly dread goin to some league matches to be honest the poo ya have to listen to.

glen ryan will always cast a shadow over kildare until they find a proper replacement. hogarty is a good player but not at 6.
id still try glavin there as he played what was in essence a centre half backs role for moorefield all year and he seems to have matured alot as a player. and i woudlnt be his biggest fan

id say flangan will get moved into the edge of the box as the game moves on. jesus he is still pure class, even with dodgy ankles!
to be honest if he moves into FF at any stage he will clean up.

should be a good match and for what its worth rainbow desrves any hostile reception, that was terrible that day.

Well the fact that any forwrd thinking and younger manager has adopted a total new style of training regime means that yes it is.

something is really wrong when there are lads as young as 20 whose knees are fucked and hamstrings total dodgey.

at my club we havent done a single lap all year and we stretch like f**k and get the rest between games. it has been around but its just coming into the media now but as i said those who took it seriously have already made changes.

its still up to the manager in terms of respecting players. when rooney arrived you didnt see him playing for 3 england teams and his club. the managers can be greedy with prodigous talent and need to learn to respect it more.

I dont know what is wrong with this division cause there is something up if we are on top!!

At the Derry and louth matches both teams kicked away after wide. louth coud have had three goals too.

the worst thing is some Kildare fans are looking at the table and thinking "oh we're flyin". we are making U14 mistakes and our entire FF line don't ever make a run.

If i was from Louth or Derry i wouldnt worry too much. Derry didnt have Bradley that day either.
That would be us without Doyle, and i can tell ya we are screwed withou him.

cant comment on that ref but the other thing is pissin me off a lot.

we are though that if a man is going down on the ball not to touch him, especially kicking him.

the other effort of lads lying on the ball is even more grey. if a lad goes down and gets knocked over with three players on top of him he gets done for travelling or head down.

another instance he could get a free for a third man tackle, it is a rule that needs to looked at seriously.

personally i feel if a lad lay on the ball its a free but if he is trying to get up with two men on top of him it has to be free to him. as far as i know thats the way the rulebook interrprets it but refs seem to change their minds from instance to instance.

at the kildare louth match yesterday there were two instances where hogarty and raindow did sliding tackles without any punishment.
hogartys especially was definitely a yellow card.

also at our last two clubs games the ref has allowed lads to lead into tackles ith the boot plus a keano style lunge went unpunished.

What's the story and is this a common thing elsewhere?

lads did ye ever think we dont apprecoate enough of what we have now.

christy ring was a legend but sure sheff will probably be every bit as good but the auld lads would never admit it no matter what he does.
with the football too the names mentioned are all class but in general the players had no skill at all. did ya ever see a lad trying a solo in the 40's or 50's.
that being said it wasn't the thing to do then and the ball was as heavy as lead.

when i look for a great its looking for someone who looks ahead of his time. in the eighties even some of the best ballers looked awkward so ill put in my two cents and go with matt connors. he was doing stuff then maurice fitz was getting deified for years later. lovely player to watch.

ring was just used as an example there because as was pointed he gets bandied about all the time. o be honest i think he is in the same boat of pioneering new things in the game.

with gunner brady we should be appreciating him too NOW and not be harpin on when we are 70 to some poor unfortunate young lad.

camogie it's the downey sisters but ladies football is relatively young in terms of getting big. id say the likes of cora staunton and jliet murphy are already chaled down as legends in that code.

i dont undertand thoses kinda people.

but its not as if it doesnt happen in every part of the world, its not just an irish thing. ,y mate got absolutely battered in poland for a tenner.

no excuse for that shit no matter where it is. they weren't garsuns doin that in castelbar either, fuckin rejects. just coz none of them pulled they go chasin lads round the town. i give up.

how bad is it?

as was said id reckon there are plenty around who are in a similar mess. there are some serious clowns knockin around county boards.

the gaa need to get an auditor in to all counties i reckon. i know in my club we had one and the amount of money we wated in the last few years was serious and a bit of belt tightening and we're on the up again.

id hate to think what kind of debt aco board could rack up, ball park figure??

RTE GAA coverage isnt as bad as everyone seems to think. there is nothing wrong with michael lyster at all. i find him very good and he's not afraid to get joined in with a debate.
Spillane is much better away from presenting alrite but brolly and orourke have a great buzz off each other.
in the hurling cyril and ger can't be beaten, i love them.
i will concede that the commentators and pitch side lads let them down. ger canning "large paralellogram". its called the square ger!!

as for a sky effort no way. i dont care how many yards the wall was and i dont need a squiggle to show me the ball dipped and curled.

the other point about younger lads is crap too. grumpy aul lads say it straight. on the bbc and sky the ex players will never say shit in case they hurt an old mates feelings.
im happy with my lot anyway. get rid of ger, bring in daragh maloney and get the old music back.

this shite sickens me, at every league match you have a lad who only sees one side and then goes on about the ref when his team doesnt get a free.

so what if cavan did go out to upset o'hara. he should be old enough not to rise to it at this stage.

to call the ref a cheat is a joke. he just reacts to what he sees and hears. so if there is a decision in the balamce he's hardly going to go with the team who are bollicking him every minute. its human nature.

and just to annoy ya sligonian 

Sligo have been awarded the points from their Allianz National Football League match against Kildare at Markievicz Park on February 9. Kildare won the match, but the GAA's Games Administration Committee adjudged that the Lilywhites were in breach of Rule 109b (ii) of the GAA's Official Guide in that they failed to name their five substitutes on the day.

sticklers for rules and refereeing ye lot

seanie yae there is no doubt that under age development should be the main priority but a quick fix is no harm either.

if a lad moves to the county and the team improves their profile will get better and so lads will stay around longer.

no harm once there are young prospects being kept out of the team by an ex tipp or kk player. then i would have a problem.

Speedy recovery to ronan.

scary aul shit all the same, only a young lad!
just readin the indo this mornin and they were chattin bout the other lads.
deane just thought it was a groin strain and was playin away.

i know the ladies arent members but were they approached even?

you have the likes of rena buckley a dual star for cork in ucd, surely she would be a very high profile person to tag on. they ticked the boxes with hurlers from the weaker counties at least.

this thread has gone into the mire. if this conversation was in the pub somene would surely just come out with "stop talking shiite".

jaysus lads the game is over, its too late and we beat the crap out of the england rugby team, game over.
