I agree with you ardtole.
If the leagues were started in March or very early April and scrap the fortnight holidays you would not have the problems that Kilclief and Burren are causing to the county board at the minute.
I also agree with you Ardtole when you say the league position is important because it determines which championship they play in next year.
I think it is a disgrace that this years Division 1 and Division will not be finished until late november or early december.
Kilcoo have to wait six or seven weeks just to play one game in the play offs. This is totally wrong.
The solutions are that:
You start earlier
You get rid of the fortnight holidays
Do away with the playoffs.

Is the drawing being shown live anywhere??

I think it is a disgrace that club games are played at this time of year.
The July fortnight holidays should be scrapped so that all games are played before the Championship final.
The Championship final should the final game of the year.

SFC Final
Burren v Clonduff

IFC Final
Ballymartin v Kilclief

JFC Final
Bredagh v Dromara

MFC Final
Kilcoo v Warrenpoint.

Jealously is an awful thing.

Anthony Devlin is a fantastic football and would walk on to any team in the county and should be selected for the county panel.

If everybody thought Kilcoo were dirty on Sunday. Where Bryansford innocent?

Also Pete McGrath sending on Aidan Shields to try and start a row late on shows how much he wanted to win the game. That was an absolute disgrace. He started the row on Sunday night.

I heard a few shocking stories from the longstone/burren game after gabriel tumilty had collapsed. The comments and behaviour of some burren members, manager and a player, who is on the down panel, are shameful. Absolutely disgusted when I heard it. Disgraceful.

share.....

Grapevine says that Dawson wasnt happy about having to replay, didnt think the game should have been replayed because burren had it won. And a player asking, (while they were all crowded around Gabriel saving his life), 'whats happening with the match, are we playing on or what?'

quite disrespectful indeed..

This does not suprise me. This club and thier manager are an absolute disgrace and they are suppose to be county champions.
All they think about is themselves despite the referee nearly dying on the pitch. Childish behaviour.

How are the county board going to manage the entry fee into the double header on Wednesday because the Lognstone v Burren should be free in?

Can anybody tell me the reason why the Championship final is on a Saturday night instead of being played on a Sunday afternoon?

Couldn't see the Dundrum v Carryduff replay in a cluttered fixture list on down website.

As for favouites in the SFC it will be the usual suspects, Kilcoo, Ford, Bridge & Burren? (Longstone could ypset this too)

In the IFC, I take it the Newry bookmakers don't go to many matches. Clann's were brutal against a very poor Drumgath. Favourites must still be Annaclone despite their poor 2nd half last nite. Yes they are lucky to be still there but that's what makes champions. The winners of Shamrocks and Kilclief will push them to the wire.

As for the JFC, I didn't see any of the first games but looking at the results, is it a case of it's Saul's to lose?

Suppose one will be a 7 throw in and the other 8.30 which should see the second game over for 9.45?  When is the next round of the championship?

Weekend of 9th, 10th, 11th September

This is an absolute farce. Why not play the next round of the championship in 2 weeks time?
