[Mr. Pain]

Po Po Po Poker Face! Apologies, one of the Paininis was listening to that GoGo song in the car this morning. Mrs. Pain had to smack that ass. You did well so Slut-It-Up? So, the club championship proper returns to our fields. Well it's about time Mr. Pain hears you yell. Crazy things have happening already - Killygarry importing coffey from England, players off to Australia and New Zealand and Hollow Man retiring from the board. It's been a hectic week. Just a matter of interest Booj - what kind of deal did you cut with Hollow Man? Sex, drugs, gates? Mr. Pain is interested. Ballyhaise to win, Lacken to win with the Crowes grounding Coffey, Bailieboro to win despite themselves, Lavey to win, Arva to win, Redhills to win. More to follow. Rant over!

Yep it went well for me. With my Bruce Willis glasses nobody could read my eyes

I also stick on my my portbale casseste player and listen to Pokerface and The Gambler on repeat. You gotta know when to hold and know when too fold them!

However, it is championship time so I will quit the jibber-jabber.

Can't see anyone stopping the Gaels but would love see Redhills or Kingscourt make the final. Ballyhaise are my tip for the IFC and at junior, I would go for Shannon Gaels, though I think the Bridge will give them a run for their money.

And remember everyone keep your eyes open for new talent. Especially Midfielders and CF's!

I didn't think I needed to say we were looking for one of them....it is just so obvious Either Smith from Killygarry or Lavey would be my choices. I'd give both them a chance. Wouldn't get rid of Dermot of the panel, he is more of a natural WB and has a very good attitude. The boy from Kingscourt is good but he done his cruciate so we wont see him again this year.

What do you think of your chances against ballymachugh?

[put-it-up]

Dunno to be honest, going to be a very tough game for our lads.

They don't give much away easily, so the sleeves will have to be rolled up I would imagine!

Where do your allegiances lie may i ask, can't remember!

I dont think ballymachugh are up to much to be honest but they are always hard to beat in the championship.  Im from Drung so a ballmachugh win would leave the group wide open but i cant see it happen.

What did you think of our game against yourselves a few weeks ago? No they never are great but it always a dogged fight to get past them, and as I said we have a few major injury concerns.

All will be revealed fairly soon!

How is Watters?

Paddy Bird won it for you, if he was stopped it would have been close.  Watters was a big lose and wont be back till next year.

We are without Bird for four weeks..he got sent off at a junior game 

Big problem for us!!!!

Same happened our Full Back and he missed the game against yourselves.  Id worry about where you are going to get scores from now.

That is if they come from anywhere

Big test for our other forwards!

Looking forward to seeing a couple of games over the weekend now

Heard our management brought back Jamie Coffey. Interesting to see if he plays against Lacken and how players react to it.

PS Good to see ye all back 

Theres a blast from the past RednBlack!!!!
He was a very good footballer on his day.
Hed make any club team better,Players just outside the Top 15-20 panel on club teams  from my experience dont have too much problems if players of top quality return late in the season and get game time on the seniors,Its normaly when lads that they dont rate are put in front of them,that the arguments start!!  
Ive seen it with Ali Pickett returning in Ballyhaise and theres never been problems.

How long has Coffey being away, what age is he now?

Pickett was never away to long was he?

A few different years hes only been back seriously in August and has played no games all year,but he was fit enough after a few weeks training to play for the Seniors.
Hes away at the minute on an Around the World Trip,been gone since January,so you might see it happen again this year  

Well thats fair enough but the Killygarry thing seems a bit desperate to me. 

Hav to agree there.I wouldnt b pleased if I was training and playing all year for some outsider to come in and take my place,even as a sub.

I agree Boojangles and it's typical of the elitism virus that runs through GAA IMO. Win at all costs and no thought given to the effort being made by the less talented but equally dedicated club members.
On another note, does anyone know the schedule of club games after this weekend. I thought I heard that there were no more league games until after the championship but does that mean that the final round is on the bank holiday weekend?
