Quote from: Aaron Boone on March 21, 2024, 11:08:38 PMWhenever a player or manager retires, the media report always says he won x All Irelands then x National Leagues then the Provincial wins. Check it out the next time a star retires.

The National League is a national title, one of only two per year. It's important.

The team that would top the league would be awarded the league title.
Ask the Leitrim lads- the chance to play a final in Croker means loads to them. I'm in favour of as many games vs training as possible and it's another game, plus a great experience for teams that will realistically never get to a big day in championship.

I'm not saying it's not i was just responding to the poster who seemed to think that there wouldn't be titles if there was no final. I think there should be finals btw.

Quote from: yellowcard on March 16, 2024, 04:20:04 PMMeath are one of those teams that you don't know what you're going to get from one game to the next. Cork after a very poor start have now won their last 3 matches and have turned it around at the right time. Is that them guaranteed to be in the Sam Maguire cup now?

Can't ever be guaranteed to be in Sam whilst your in Division 2 as there's so many variables with the provincials.

But I reckon to be 90% sure you'll need to top 4 in Division 2.

Top 5 once Meath finish above you as they are guaranteed Sam Maguire Football regardless of their league position.

It really is a mine field. For example I really think Down would like Fermanagh relegated and Louth to stay up because of the Leinster draw.

Looking at you probably have to think it's going to be one Munster finalist from outside the top 16 in the league 0 in Connacht or Ulster and then potentially 1 or 0 in Leinster. So if it's that then staying in Div 2 will probably be good enough and who ever tops Div 3 or wins Div 3 final (not sure which is seeded higher) probably gets the last spot.

Not sure about that I worked it out a few weeks ago I think you need to be at least 5th in Division 2 to be sure.

<exhales loudly>



Any the answer to that would be now i would presume.  Not directly outside anyway.

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on February 26, 2024, 10:39:48 PMSurely just leave defenders in defence forwards stay up front and midfielders can roam the pitch?

See that's roughly how I think things would pan out with the half court rule. Some teams would stick to counter attacking football, which is no bad thing in itself so long as they don't have elongated possession before pressing go, but even the most rigid defensive structure would need at least one totem full forward as the plan b / blind alley option. For if they don't have that, they're just going to keep giving the pressing team the ball back.

Mine, from a referee's perspective is easier to manage
How would it be?
How are you to know who is playing backs, midfield or forwards? Teams are making positional switches all the time, subs come in with 27 on the back and you have to keep track of who is making his way forward etc? That sounds very difficult.

His idea that once the ball goes over a certain line it is not allowed to go back over it is surely much easier managed?

For me its the numbers on their backs, 1 to 7 are defenders 8 and 9 are midfielders and the others are forwards. If subs come on they replace either position and its a simple tick in our numbers page on the sheet.

If teams want to make a positional change they have to wait for a break in play and do it then

Flooding defence and flooding attack or teams holding up the ball in front of a wall of 'defenders' is really annoying to watch and pretty boring for the players also.

I've watched so many games at club level, players are actually passing someone with the ball so they can get into position to set up their defence! No attempt is made to tackle they guy, that's just one aspect.

If these footballing brains come up with ideas, they will be as difficult to navigate as any other rule change has been at the start

There is nothing simple about that no 20 could be coming on for number 15 and going wing back and number 7 moving into the forwards. Like to see how that would be managed with maybe 10 subs on the pitch near the end of a game.

Quote from: Armagh18 on February 26, 2024, 07:59:38 AMAlways thought you weren't allowed to touch the keeper in small square at all.
Cunnane touched the ball with his hand.
Any contact with the goalie was incidental to that tackle on the ball.

I would like to hear our residents referee's take on this.

I though it was a fair goal.

Does anyone know why this is taking place in March and not along with the Local Elections in June?

Quote from: RedHand88 on February 07, 2024, 03:14:37 PMI was speaking to a Ukrainian living in Ireland the other day who absolutely detests Zelensky and the Ukrainian government She is from near the Donbas region, speaks Russian (only pigeon Ukrainian) and used the phrase "I am not pro Russian, I am Russian". Her gripes were that they are more culturally and societally to Russia than a Ukraine. Said they felt trapped in a country they didn't associate with and refused to acknowledge it 👀
She mentioned the Azov battalion as well.

Basically they are trapped here now because her husbands passport was cancelled for leaving the country in wartime.
I was suprised because we don't hear this point of view much but it was interesting to hear her point of view.

I'm sure that he could get a Russian passport and head to Moscow instead of been trapped here.

That is their longterm plan, they are early 30s and don't want to have children in Dublin. Want to have them in Russia.

You should have told her he would be better off going to Russia now and joining the Russian army to help defeat Zelensky and the Ukrainian government.

Quote from: Rossfan on January 30, 2024, 01:39:37 PMYou score a goal now = kick put from opposition 20m.
Score a goal if that was passed = throw in 50m nearer the scoring teams goal! Punishment for scoring a goal!

How about anyone on a yellow or who got a black in normal time can't play in the extra time?

Are you looking to add in stupid rules ?

Quote from: the goal was on on January 09, 2024, 08:57:41 AMThe rules are there for everyone and I'm sure all top managers would be aware of them. They are there to protect youngsters in the long term. So Donegal/jim didnt know he wasn't available to play this year! I know he has been out of game for long time but surely minor/club/u21 bosses would have been able to tell him. If he was aware but still played him then you have to take the consequences. I'm sure there has been a few other youngsters teams may have liked to play over the years. Particularly the weaker counties . Simple question for journalists to ask Jim - were you aware of rule?

Exactly.  Club bosses throughout the county (including the young lads own club, who i'm sure would love to have been playing him) would know the rules around playing underage players.  The question should be put directly to him alright, he isn't that slow. 


It all falls on the County Secetary its up to them to be up to date on the rules and regulations.

Quote from: general_lee on January 06, 2024, 02:50:36 PMCongratulations Cullyhanna, some going for a club that was languishing in the 3rd tier of Armagh league football this year to reach an AI Intermediate final.

Well done to the Division 1 Cavan team as well, another moral-boosting hammering for them in the AI Junior Championship. Warm favourites for the final you'd imagine.
Case in point right here
Had enough of it the last time to do me. We'll have to agree to disagree. Best wishes to both Arva and Cullyhanna for their finals.
Agreed. They are where they are. Every season you'll always get a few clubs who drop down to a level below their real position, that's life in graded competitions. We move on

Then what's the point of having intermediate and junior? Arva were Ulster champions before a ball was thrown in in the Cavan junior championship.. What wasn't known was the teams who'd be the other part of the turkey shoot. A monumental waste of time for every other participant (with the exception of the Kerry 'junior' reps)
What??? Look bro, you're must gonna have to accept they were in Junior on merit. They got relegated from Intermediate in 2021 and only won Junior in 2023 after they didn't win it on 2022. They're in the Championship they found themselves in on Championship results. Mad how some of you can't grasp this

You are as bad as them for continously biting.

Quote from: Armamike on January 02, 2024, 01:23:04 PMThe reality is if a player doesn't go down he won't get a penalty even if it is a blatant foul

He could have just kicked the ball into the net instead of diving though.
