Any rumoured fixture release dates?

Not be anytime soon I'm fairly sure it was April last year

Reserve leagues and Jim Devlin will be well underway at that stage so it would need to be earlier.

Strange one regarding reserves if the plan is to play them off weekly starting 10th March

Will the Ulster leagues be finished up by then or do many clubs enter them now?

I see the 2023 Minor semi-finals have now been scheduled for 17th February. That should see the final played a week before the 2024 season throws in.

[How about anyone on a yellow or who got a black in normal time can't play in the extra time]

You score a goal now = kick put from opposition 20m.
Score a goal if that was passed = throw in 50m nearer the scoring teams goal! Punishment for scoring a goal!

How about anyone on a yellow or who got a black in normal time can't play in the extra time?

Are you looking to add in stupid rules ?

I thought I read somewhere that there was a push to ensure reds picked up in normal time would carry through to extra time, no more "it's a new game so reds are cancelled but yellows and blacks carry through"

So Israeli allegations of involvement by 10-12 UNRWA operators out of 30,000 (a list previously provided to and cleared by Israel) is sufficient smoke to cut out aid.

However genocidal statements and attendance at Settler conferences by Government Ministers is not sufficient indication of Israeli direction of travel.

Somebody tell Leo this isn't rugby. Hope Leo isn't a ref. How anyone could justify that as red is beyond me, outside of having done something in the pushing shoving afterwards.

Where did I say it was rugby? I said the red was harsh and the tackle was careless but the Ref makes the call in real time and if you are clumsy you run a risk.

The red card was harsh but Kilpatrick gave the red a decision to make
No square ball.

We often hear this trotted out.
A tug on the jersey gives the ref a decision to make.
The wrong decision would be to issue a red card. Just as it is here.

IMO, The tackle was careless, he made contact with the players head, albeit with his chest, and there didn't appear to be any attempt to play the ball. In real time that give the Ref a decision to make.

In rugby it would not even be in doubt as there is an onus on the tackler that is not in our game.

It's difficult to tell, player never would have got the ball In The first place if he didn't come across the square then out he didn't receive it on the square.

There is no prohibition on being in the square, only on receiving the ball in the square if certain conditions are met.

Seems Donaldson has calculated he finally has enough support to push them back into Stormont. Big meeting on Monday to lay it all out. Maybe even back at work by the end of the week.

Response of the holdouts will be interesting. A bit of grumbling, but ultimately sticking with the DUP gravy train? Or does it become more messy? Unionism is so directionless at the minute - how stable can government be until they figure themselves out?

They didn't vote during the last meeting as it was leaked. So Bryson leaked about this one hoping for the same result.

Seen a great response to him from Newton Emerson. If you continually tell people they are not Unionist, eventually you will be right.

All those lists at each polling station are collated and the marked list (who has and has not voted) is available to anyone for a small fee.

From Niall Gartland on Twitter/X:

JP McManus donation: Tyrone GAA have worked out they have in effect 108 'clubs' affiliated to the three governing associations (the GAA, LGFA and Camogie). So in real terms a Tyrone club affiliated with one association receives just over £9k euro, a club with two, twice that etc.

What would the breakdown of that be?
47 Football clubs, 10 Hurling clubs, 8 Camogie clubs and 43 Ladies football?

So Carrickmore for example are entitled to 4 x 9k = 36k?

out of interest whats the make up of the 10 hurling clubs in the county?

Football and hurling aren't seperated as both fall under GAA.

E.g. Omagh would get 3 cheques - 1 for GAA (football/Hurling), 1 for Ladies Football and 1 for Camogie.

They would be separate if they are separate clubs, e.g St Colmcilles / Eire Og or Clarkes : Eoghan Rua.

Obviously, because they're seperate Clubs.

Eire Og get 2 cheques for GAA (football or Hurling) and Camogie.

Colmcilles get 2 cheques for GAA (football or Hurling) and Ladies Football.

Are there any examples of Hurling / football falling under the same club and missing out, e.g. Omagh, Fintona, Killyclogher?

Apparently Handball was not mentioned in JP's original offer.

Off the top of my head they are

Eire Og (Carrickmore)
Eoghan Rua (Dungannon)
Na Seomragi (Strabane)
Naomh Colmcille (Clonoe parish)
Omagh
Cappagh
Fintona
Benburb
Clogher Valley
O'Neill's (Cookstown)

NB, Eire Ogs is a distinct club from Carrickmore Naomh Colmcilles so they would get 9k for hurling and 9k for Camogie whilst Noamh Colmcilles have a ladies club and would get 18k also.


Looking at results there appears to be around 11 Camogie clubs.
Eire Og
Naomh Threasa (Dungannon)
Fr Shields
Oneills (Cookstown?)
Derrylaughan
Tattyreagh
Omagh
Eglish
Killyclogher
Naomh Brid (Brocagh)
Edendork
