Sorry to read that, big fan of his and a massive blow to Mayo. Wishing him a full and speedy recovery.

There was a incident in the Derry Galway game were a Galway player in possession was "ushered" over the sideline by a couple of Derry players. McQullian pointed his flag in favour of the Galway player and indicated a pushing motion with this hands.  I didn't hear if the referee blew his whistle at this point but is it not the linesmans job to indicate which way the line ball is to go and he should not be calling the freekick??

Yeah would have thought he can advise the ref that there was a foul but it's the refs call.

Heard a clip off the 2 Johnnies this morning, interesting tactics from a SF candidate in Waterford, she has her tinder bio as "vote for me and I'll take you out on a date"

Some way to canvas alright!

By all means have them playing league football. There should be a proper reserve championship to accommodate them however. As much as the CE lads would have enjoyed winning a junior championship last year, there was hardly a celebration out of them after they beat Ballyhegan.

As for this year, St Peter's seconds are doing well, only lost one game to league favourites Corrinshego early in the season. Come championship you'd imagine that Forkhill and Middletown would be the favourites if they're at full strength.

That St Peters team will be hard stopped. Yeah probably a tiered league competition for seconds and reserve teams would be best. 

Think that's the reason the likes of St Peter's have scrapped reserves and went for Junior football instead. You might get one or two meaningful reserve games a year sandwiched between walkovers and cricket scores. I suppose with junior football you're almost certainly guaranteed the opposition won't cry off at the last minute with something to aim for (promotion & junior championship).

Yeah absolutely, the reserve league is a bit of a joke with teams not fielding and at times fielding very weak teams. Fair play to the Lurgan clubs they've serious numbers by the looks of things.

Hopefully United can upset the odds and pull off the shock of the year vs City. Squad is too thin for Europa next year though.

Yeah looks like that St Peters team will win junior, don't think it's fair on proper junior clubs imo, let them play league but not championship maybe?

The runners up (provided they ain't second team) will represent Armagh in Ulster

Yeah happened last year. Ballyhegan who'd be a decent junior team and have been in intermediate recently were hammered by Clann Eireann seconds in the junior final and then played in Ulster. Just had a look there and CE seconds are 3rd in intermediate B currently.

Yeah fair enough it didn't make a difference. Was he going mad over the fact he thought it was a wide not a 65? He'd want to have some eyesight to have known from where he was!

Regardless of how he arrived at the decision, the replay clearly shows that it was the correct one and that's all that matters.
Don't know what there is to yap about.

He was yapping that the 65 was not taken behind the 65 yard line! It was taken a yard inside it. He told the linesman and the 3rd official and they decided not to intervene. Still petty!

Yeah he was well inside the 65, poor from officials there imo

Added to ignore, you're some dose

you know he is the WUM in cheif, Eire og, Kerry for Sam, Armagh 18, southe dublin bro, plus many others.
He has single handidly gone a long way to F*ucking up a serious GAA Blog.
Shame on moderators.
For the past 7-10 years, I would be inclined to come on here to see opinions on games V read the newspapers after a game. Not any more.
A lot of well minded bloggers unfortunately have done likewise.

 

Leave me out of it pleasd.

Tough way to lose. Don't know if that was a guess from the umpire or not be he got it right.

Wtf was that black card about. Not that it matters. Tyrone are strong at this level the huers

Derry away from home, down to 14 men early and missing a good few starters etc. Mad to think that we could beat them next week which would be their third championship defeat of the year but they could still make an all ireland final.

Definitely think they're a great thing, at the end of the day the more people getting football at their level the better. Not sure it's fair on the junior clubs though that they csn play championship.
