So much for 9pm ring walks for the Conlan fight.
Delay because of serious injury to defeated boxer in previous fight.

Some atmosphere.

Good luck Mick, but this Mexican is good and extremely confident

Heard them saying on BT after I posted that. Fair enough for the delay then.

This Mexican is tough. Conlan will have it all to do now.

That free kick from Beggan is as good as you'll see. Outstanding.

Not sure if that was the correct call on that Monaghan black card. 48 minutes played Monaghan lead 0-10 to 0-8

Don't think it was a black either.

Fair play to O'Hanlon staying down that long with a head injury when he wasn't touched on the head.

McGeeney didn't look happy with the referee at the end. Maybe he'd need a look at his own team first.

Mackin waving the physio on as he's sprinting up the pitch.

I would take a guess and say that he never 100% fully recovered from that ankle injury in 2020 to push on again and to get back to the sort of form that won him an all star. I know he had a big impact off the bench in 2021 and could be argued we wouldn't have won the All Ireland without that impact.

A few mischief makers at play here it would seem, rumours of his departure have been greatly exaggerated  :): https://www.irishnews.com/sport/2023/05/23/news/mcshane_still_part_of_tyrone_management_plans_as_darren_hughes_ruled_out_of_derry_clash-3298510/

Ah it was that WT4E man spreading the rumours  :P

As Fr Ted would say I'm sure the money was just resting in her account ::)

They must have been taking tips from the family of that oul fella that walked a few laps off his house during Covid. They were making plenty of money from that charity.

Being involved in a small club where we are lucky to get over 10/12 players in the go games blitzes its obviously easier to get everyone equal game time as we are just grateful to have the numbers to be able to field. When I hear of local clubs having upwards of 30 and maybe even more I don't know what the answer is.

We have been invited to a 9 a side tournament later this year and the limit on players is 15 so for a club with maybe for example 20 at that age group how you make those calls and leave lads at home is definitely not one I'd like to be making.

For what its worth I think the balance is right in Tyrone. Go games every 3 weeks or so with clubs arranging plenty of friendly matches in between those and training. And then at the end of the year there does seem be plenty of competitive tournaments where lads could fight it out to win something. Its definitely not a black and white issue.

I dont believe this is a new ruling, I think it has been in place for some time but clubs have just ignored it.
Looks like GAA is going to clamp down on implementation. How they do that, I don't know.

I would imagine clubs will just ignore it and take the slap on the wrist if/when it comes. There'll just be fewer facebook posts etc. from the clubs hosting and winning them.

I think its just season ticket holders and clubs that are getting stand tickets. Terrace only on general sale at the minute.

All 3 with very winnable games. All in Everton's hands now.
