I was in Gowna on Thursday night watching Tony Scullion showing the Colmcille boys what was needed to win the County Final.He is helping Ciaran get them ready and I think they looked good and I'm taking them to win.Of course Mullinalaghta will win the Intermediate and Northern Gaels the Minor

Hi Laurel Eye
     I'll be over that country next week ,if I get a chance I'll call to see the Cooper.Could you leave a few Euro behind the bar in Keoghs in case youre not around yourself.The dollar is very weak at the minute

CC1   Is Liam Og a son of Packy's

Ballyhaise Man  The San Francisco Sean Mc Cormack is a ful foward (13 aside)and the free taker so he'll probably want to be assigned different duties when he goes back

Ballyhaise Man, What do you think about Sean Mc Cormick's left foot.Is he a prospect ?

I think that if I was the boss I'd want you out of there right away because you probably will not be much addition to him for the few weeks.Also you could suffer a work related injury.          You're fired !!!!!!

Is he a son of Barry"s

He should step down I think,but just to give the sons a chance to play for a different manager.I"d imagine they would be delighted too as I"d say they have to take some slagging about their Da getting them on the team.There are loads of other counties who would be glad to have him manage them

I don't see the doom and gloom after Sunday's performance.I have to add that I only saw it on Setanta.Midfield was on top throughout and we got the majority of the breaks there as well. The forwards won nearly all the ball that was played in early to them.They took too many shots from bad positions but at least they took it upon themselves to shoot and they will not be as unlucky the next day.I didn't think the Down goalie made as big of a mistake as everyone seems to think for the last goal,but you probably saw more replays than I did.The defence did not play with enough confidence and so always let the Down player out in front to get the ball and then they would try and contain the damage.This never works unless the other team can't score at all. It is not that they are bad players but someone needs to step up and say  "I'll go out on Sunday and get shoulder to shoulder with Coulter and make sure he does not get as easy a time as he did on Sunday" he does not even have to get the ball himself just keep it away from him and frustrate him as much as he can.The Down forwards were given time on Sunday to collect the ball and then turn and pick up a head of steam before they even met a defender.As I say we have as good a footballers it's just a matter of confidence or belief.I'm just pissed we won't get to see it out here and I'll have to watch Tyrone and Fermanagh

Hi Dickey
  If possible could you add these also
Galway
Waterford
Derry   Bonus
Louth
Donegal
               Thanks

The hurling wasn't available for very long.Can I still get the Sunday games ?

I think the free taking is an issue that will have to be sorted out .All the fowards seem to be taking frees and missing their fair share.I assume there it is planned beforehand but I would like to know the reasoning behind this.Will Lyng now be taking one or two against Waterford ?

I played with the Joes from Ealing back in the 70s and it was a god trek out to New Eltham as well.The supporters used to have the naggins of whiskey in the inside pocket of the suit jacket trying to make us a little braver.The Prince Arthur on the Uxbridge road was the HQ. They are still going and had a pretty good campaign this year
