LD or st johns made an appointment yet?

Are Belfast teams going to play next year? I thought football was dead in the city?

Dropping to intermediate, get confidence back and go at it again in a few years.

Will that permit the payment to managers or will you as President outlaw such behaviour?

[bannside]

95% of clubs and counties turn a blind eye to the payment of persons involved in managing or coaching teams. The GAA as an organisation turns a blind eye. The lucrative pence per mile rate to county players and officials renders it hypocritical if it ever considered becoming involved in the infringement of the amateur status debate. I never saw a turkey voting for Christmas yet!

I'd let it go Belfast Gaa man. Your principled stance is notable, but one by one the club's that do abide by this outdated ideal will fall by the wayside.

There was a period too when you could have got reported (and suspended)  for playing soccer. And you could only eat fish on a Friday!Times change, things move on. You can only swim against the tide for so long!

Was there a player from each of the 9 counties?

BS at I respect your points of view but do you not fear then we are moving to cheque book championships soccer style ? Man City richest and win premier league more than anyone else

[JimStynes]

Who's the richest club in Antrim. Would have to be the posh lads from Malone Road direction? Or Dunloy with their Arab owner.

[rogercasement]

I remember once hearing that either McDermotts or Davitts was the richest club in Ulster due to their social club intake, I have no idea if that is true or not but if there is any truth in it your theory is blown out of the water. I.e. buying championships.

McDermotts racked up a heap of debt and folded.

[imtommygunn]

Yeah it's nonsense. If any club like say Creggan aghagallon or whoever hadn't developed their players to a high standard then they would be nowhere near championships. Massive work goes on in those clubs. Saying they buy championships is just illustrating a fundamental lack of understanding.
