If it's gone to the Ulster Council I would sayit doesn't look good. Did Ballindery get clarification from St. Paul's or the Ulster Council on this issue? I suppose we'll just have to wait until next Tuesday to find out.

I have to agree Dooher's point against against Kerry was absolutely sublime... I'm surprised there aren't a few more Armagh men on asking if he switched hanbds/tipped with the wrong part of the foot/overcarried the ball like Mulligan did a few years ago!

If Ballinderry got to the final would he be eligible then?? It will be a new year and he will be 15

Nope it is the 2008 Competition so I would presume only players eligible to play in 2008 would be allowed to play in the 2008 final (even though it is held in 2009)

As much as I would want them to I can't seee Ballinderry getting out of this one. People can accuse me of sour grapes all they want but I've already stated my wish for them to win the Ulster Championship, if they don't they will only have themselves to blame.

A taskforce recommended a while ago that players are not allowed to play 2 age groups above themselves e.g. U10 playing U14, U12 playing U16, U14 playing U18. I don't know all of the facts but from what I can gather young Suckie played U14 and U16 championship this year which means he is totally ineligible to play for Ballinderry Minors in any competition this year. You can talk about sour grapes all you like but a rule was broken and the people to blame for it are not Cavan Gaels but Ballinferry.

A very unfortunate sequence of events but whoever organised the team should have known the craic about eligibility and the players available before entering such a big tournament where the team is under the microscope! Hopefully the lad didn't play U14 this year and is eligibly so the tournament can continue without the controversy but it's not looking good at the minute!

[the most gratuitous sex scene Ive ever whitnessed?]

History of violence on channel 4 now....good show.

Are you kiddin me? Thats some of the worst crap Ive ever seen!

I enjoyed it. Obviously not the most realistic film, but Maria Bello is very easy on the eye and William hurt hammed it up very well.

Is this the same movie? With Viggo Mortensen and the most gratuitous sex scene Ive ever whitnessed? Im not complaining about the woman, but the plot was terrible.

Watch Zack and Miri make a porno if you get a chance... now if ever there were gratuitous sex scenes this film has them! Very funny I will give it that though.

[i was planning to get watching the Ulster final as well]

Saturday 13th December
St Pauls 1-30pm
Ballinderry v Ardboe

Sunday 14th December
St Pauls 1-30pm
Naomh Adhamhnáin v Mayobridge

Why did st pauls change the Bridge game on Sunday??? i was planning to get watching the Ulster final as well 

The Ballinderry Ardboe game was originally for the Sunday but I think a few of the Ballinderry supporters wanted to watch the Ulster Final as well.

And Ardboe had arranged for Kyle Coney to rerurn on Saturday for the match on Sunday - now he's going to miss the game. 

Well didn't that work out well for the Shamrocks... nothing could be done about it I suppose unless you can get him back sooner. I was thinking of going to that match but if Coney's not playing there's no point the Shamrocks will walk it;

To me hte best word that the Irish use (and not so much up North) is yoke... it can be used to describe anything that you don't know the name of or can't describe.

Ah jesus that's a great yoke that isn't it?!

I can't recall a more influential player over a series of soccer games than Keane's for Ireland's qualification for 2002 World Cup.

Maradona 86 pales into insignificance of Keano V Cyprus FFS

Yeah or David Healy in the Euro qualifiers!!!

Keane leaves Sunderland...

[Where did this changing hands myth come from? Utter nonsense!]

Oisin's goal should have been disallowed for taking nine steps!!!

Neda watch the tape 2nite to make sure of that one, but im nearly certain he fouled on the ball by switching hands? Neda watch it tonight to be certain, but i thought it at the time

Where did this changing hands myth come from? Utter nonsense!

Utter nonesense?

RULE 4 - TECHNICAL FOULS

4.10 (a)  To change the ball from one hand to the other without the original holding hand maintaining contact until the change is completed.

       (b) To change the ball from one hand to the other more than once - unless the ball is bounced or toe-tapped between the changes.

Good job I'm here to keep ye right screen 

Sorry but this stems from an agument I had with someone about Mulligans goal against the Dubs a few years ago. To have committed a foul by "switching/changing hands"  means you have to effectively throw the ball up with one and and catch it with the other... I have yet to see an instance of this in any game I've watched this year. It is not a natural movement and occurs EXTREMELY rarely in our games.

I am well aware of the rule above having cited it before but it clearly states that you are allowed to switch hands as long as both hands are in contact with the ball at the point it is switched!

Big statement Onion Bag. I named Madden on my list of better players from the weaker counties but forgot about Kelly. Kelly is a class footballer. He would make ANY team in the Country and to be honest I'd have him for Derry any day. Fit, composed on the ball, a leader and good feet he's probably the best footballer Antrim have had since Sheeny McQuillan!

Gay boy!

Ballinderry sweating on McCusker
03 December 2008

Ballinderry are sweating on the fitness of full back Niall McCusker ahead of Sunday's Ulster club football final replay against Crossmaglen.

McCusker, whose late goal rescued a draw for the Derry champions at Brewster Park last Sunday, suffered concussion and needed stitches to a facial wound.

"Niall has been outstanding for us this year and we are desperately keen to have him on board," Ballinderry chairman Camillus Quinn said.

Despite being sent off last Sunday, Conor Wilkinson will be eligible to play as he was dismissed on a second yellow card.


He looked fine to me after scoring the goal and I didn't notice any wounds on his face at that stage... did something happen after the match?

Anyone got a link to the incident?
