Quote from: ranch on May 19, 2024, 10:23:19 PMBy 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.

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.

Quote from: Armagh18 on May 19, 2024, 08:41:50 PMYeah 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!

Quote from: Duine Inteacht Eile on May 19, 2024, 04:34:35 PMRegardless 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

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.

Quote from: Estimator on May 19, 2024, 11:37:50 AMDerry were much better than I thought they'd be. Especially after seeing who was and wasn't involved in the team warm up before the game.

Everything was pretty even up to the (deserved) red card. Derry still got plenty of shots away, but way too many were a platform for Galway attacks. 

They put in some shift covering back and forward in that second half. McGuigans block exemplified that. But it was always going to lead to gaps.

That said they still managed to claw it back and had McGuigans shot found the net or went over the bar, you're looking at a very different final few minutes. Galway may still have ran out winners, but at that point, they were definitely gettin nervy in the stand.

Armagh at home next, you'd have to hope that Derry have a couple of those injured men back and ready to go for that game.

Two week gap is probably saving them there.

Quote from: Applesisapples on May 19, 2024, 08:41:02 AMThere are always players coming and going on panels, some players want games and know they are not near it with the county. Even players getting minutes every match can get fed up with so much sacrifice and no game time.
One thing I will say about the Armagh lads is theres a panel of maybe 43 plus and everyone buys in regardless of gametime. Obviously theres a good few lads down the pecking order that get to play club games as well

Quote from: Ghost on May 19, 2024, 12:46:34 AMFury's best days are behind him. Don't think he has it in him to win a rematch.

If he gets 3 judges like the middle one he might. That was scandalous that it was a split decision.

Was a strange one alright. Would they rig the scorecards to make it seem tighter to sell the rematch better?

Bizzare that Fury's team sent him out into the 12th thinking he was in control. Not that he'd have got the knockout anyway.
David Haye calling out that the ref rescued Fury when he was rocking.
Yeah I thought so too
