Down Club Hurling & Football

[Brick Tamlin]

Why does that matter.
Im merely curious as to why you think that in Down (i assume in comparison to other counties) we are better than this?

[Truth hurts]

The GAA is better than this, its ugly and needs to be eradicated. The same people continually involved in rows and nothing ever done about it. A one game suspension in a league where you cant be relegated. The video footage needs to be shared with the CCC and clubs fined heavily.

[Brick Tamlin]

Ahhh yeah the GAA in general needs to do something about it surely, and alot of counties are as bad id wager.
GAA rulebook is a nonsense and the claim/appeal culture is ridiculous in Ireland. A huge fault lies with officialdom and powers-that-be.

[supersub]

Nothing will be done and it will continue to happen, whatever it is that happened as no one really said. Move on.

[Johnnysboys]

Most surprising thing is that no videos circulating of the fight - yet...

News travels fast and Burren is not far from Rostrevor so I have said you have heard.

Sean McAleavey?

[Truth hurts]

Is it me or are championships getting earlier? Underage championships have begun already and premier reserves and reserve championships down to the last 8.

Unfortunately this thread has become a mirror image of what Hogan Stand used to be like with absolute drivel being posted

It's just you, when do you want them played

You're right Truth Hurts. The underage championships all seem to be about a month earlier than usual. Quarters and semis in August and finals very early in September. Gonna cause some teams real headaches with kids away on holidays, gaekteacht etc. No idea why the calendar was changed, the reason the knock out games were usually played in September was to avoid this.

Is it a bad thing though?

I remember when I was a minor (way, way back) going to London for 6-7 weeks mid summer and missing 1 game. There's probably some compromise here between these two extremes, but Gaelic football is its best when it's a summer sport. Fill the summer months I say.
