Is it not tiered based on ni contributions?

Doctors have a pretty large annual fee to pay on their contributions too. Their pension is not what some think it is.

Everyone should get a state pension.

No -  there are definitely subs getting no game time not playing at all for their clubs.

Tbh I dunno but it's working so I don't want to knock it too much. There must be some reason for Lynch but who knows what it is.

Is it not score difference against the teams you'e level with as opposed to overall score difference? I thought I read something like that in the football thread. Seemed odd but it was what was said.

There are boys who haven't got game time not playing for clubs but Lynch gets gametime and plays with his club is the thing which stands out... If he didn't then it wouldn't look like any grey areas... Just seems a bit odd.

It always seems more of a problem in Galway though.

Hopefully they'll find one or two more Clutes from the area!

I have seen that brought up. I don't see why that matters?

Another reason for a UI. As long as we don't lose the existing bank holidays...

If they got into the english leagues then I think over time they might be close to winning the premier league given a wee bit of time. The problem is now they can't compete financially due to the TV money. The european money helps massively but is not always guaranteed.

Dunloy players on the go constantly with club final etc. Could probably do with a break.

In the preliminary quarter final you can’t play a team you played before - is that the same case for the quarter final? Only one possibility in the preliminary quarter final but could be two in the quarter final - might get restrictive enough.

There’s a lot of competition for places in loughgiel I would say too which makes the league a bigger push. Dunloy I notice had only one county player against st johns who looked to have more or less a full quota. Dunloy still way ahead of the pack.

Tbh I thought loughgiel should have beat cushendall last year. I think soon enough they will be second team in the county but if they can push on to be the best is the question. Dunloy very dominant and very young too so I am not sure.

Derry could have won that game by a lot more - they messed about a lot. Gallen when interviewed said they should have won it - dunno what game he was looking at. I'd expect Derry to finish top.
