The President gets reimbursed for his salary he will not receive from his day job (surely you don't begrudge him that).

Also he is entitled to expenses, surely you pay at the gate for every match you attend CB whether you are reporting or not, or does that notebook double as contactless payment card?!

Bright guy so must've plan

Does be intend to refuse his own huge salary and all the enormous benefits.....as well as aĺll those going to like minded member if central council.....?
Our arganisation was founded on the principle that all change to rule would filter from.club via county and provincial to the central body.....

Letting an 8 point lead slip with 20 mins left again after what happened against Down is Pathetic

[imtommygunn]

Fermanagh led once in that game - in the 75th minute 

Pathetic is not a fair word at all especially based on the wind.

[EOC1923]

Hard to put words on that, gutted that we threw it away like that. Couldn't close it out, even Bynre giving away the draw at the end never mind the win.

[imtommygunn]

Just a real kick in the balls eoc.

We played very well in parts too.

[bannside]

Why hang a player out that put his heart and soul into that performance, including making a couple of extraordinary saves. Everyone in the history of the game has made a blunder on the pitch at some stage, but some just can't wait to get back to the keypad as quickly as possible and put the boot in. Sickening!

JF got caught in possession and overturned and some will take delight in that too, but there's a fella in his first season who's hardly put a foot wrong, and scored a cracking goal today as well. Maybe we can note the positives as well.

Yes some naivety for sure but anyone who supports this team over the years will have seen lots to like in getting good leads built up against teams in this most competitive division, and once Andy has players back and a full squad to choose from we can be seeing these games out.

Plenty to really like about this side even if the league table says otherwise. Sick as a parrot after that but hopefully hard lessons learned...we need to stick by this group.

[imtommygunn]

Very well setup and played well bs. Our ending 15 probably not as strong as starting and Fermanagh's was the reverse. Also they got a lot of joy when they really starting pressuring our kickout. Really it was what we did to them in the first half but should have capitalised more. Gutting result but key thing is staying in the division. Also I wish we had their number 12 as he was some operator.

Who put the boot in? Not allowed to discuss what happened or what?

[Sportacus]

I think the signs are positive overall for this team.  League games are tight.  Pipped at the post twice.  Hardly a crisis.

[Saffrongael]

2pts from the 15th minute in second half to the final whistle is brutal

[bannside]

We've scored 75 points (averaging 19 points per game) in a tough division, playing exceptional football at times. The few who were in Newry or fewer still in Thurles know that, and today we saw it in spells.

All this with a huge injury list...Ryan Dermot Jamie Adam Decky Paddy McBride and others.

Who all's for Glennon Park?

[Spike]

We have also conceded 75 points. 

We are definitely playing better than at the start of the season.  Bonuses are we are scoring more and have more possession than previously.  Minuses are we are collapsing and conceding badly once pressure is applied to us. 

[Saffrongael]

Yeah it's about winning games, finding a way, scoring average doesent matter a shite
