Sky Sports really, really wanted big Ange to tear into the officials.

He didn't.

The sport (and the one we have closer to home) really could do with more people like him (as well as a media that doesn't try to make a week's news out of a tackle).

Then why did he get booked?

For Counties that do not link league and championship, how do teams get relegated to a lower championship?

I can understand league positions but if 50% of your clubs get beat in the first round how do you determine which one gets replaced by the winner of the lower grade?

In Cavan there's relegation playoffs.

The same Cavan who put school amalgamations into Ulster colleges, all they're looking is the same easy road to a few wins same as their Kerry counterparts with misaligned competitions and grades

One for the wtf thread ... why was that Kerry amalgamation bs on TG4 yesterday, club champ live broadcasting should be reserved for real club teams, not divisional fakery

What school amalgamation?

Who are Arva's 2 other county players?

Tristan Noack Hoffman and Johnaton McCabe.

They'll have plenty of ex Cavan Minor & U-20/21 players too?

Yeah the Morris brothers and Bouchier. They were probably knocking about the senior panel too I think.

As a matter of interest - is every county different in terms of whether or not there is a link between league and championship?
In Galway we used to have senior league, intermediate league, junior league etc. You played at that same grade for Championship.2 up and 2 down each year.
To get senior you either had to win the intermediate league or win the intermediate championship.
Restructure maybe 10-11 years ago removed the link between c'ship and league.
Your league division has nothing to do with what championship grade you play in at all.
My own club play junior championship but in our league (division 3) all
of the other teams play either intermediate or senior championship.
These provincial club championships are amazing competitions.
Played in a Connacht final a good few years back and was a brilliant experience.

There should be a link between league and championship, probably the fairest way when it comes to provincial club competitions. Cavan have a similar set up with Division 1 clubs plying their trade at Junior level - pretty ridiculous that clubs good enough to play Division 1 football are able to compete against genuine Junior clubs in Ulster competition.

Don't wee why there should be a link. Teams play without county players for league so some teams would have a huge advantage. Arva winning comfortably despite playing a lot of game with 14.

But if you're fit to play division 1 league without your county players why should you be playing junior championship with your county players lol

That's one outlier. When they got from division 3 to 1 they only had Ciaran Brady in county panel. Now have 3. A competition by it's nature is meant to be fair and even so linking two is in no way fair.

How did Guimares stay on the field?

The goal - nothing clear even in the slow motion replays. No choice but to let it stand.

Nothing clear? The offside and push were clear and conclusive. Even the handball was.

No but think that's part of plan. Last year wasted too much energy in games so style slightly changed to be more controlled. Defensively much better.

Jury out on Raya but not going to write him off yet.

Everton one charge and a twelve point deduction. Man City 115 charges and nothing.

Gowna won Cavan today by 17 points.

The soccer team has won more knockout games? They compete against the whole world.

Four tries all scored by New Zealanders.

Is there 2 bigger bollixes in Ireland. Brendan O Carroll & Jason Byrne.

Kielty is poor,but he cant make a silk purse out of a pigs ear.

I wouldn't agree he's poor. If you watched his Mick Lynch or Rob Delaney interview you wouldn't say he's poor.
