[Mhic Easmuint]

It's looked after by a team of people. 

[Glensman]

A team of very "smart" people.

The sarcasm annoys me a bit. Good in certain senses and generally lighthearted but can be condescending enough.
Hope you're not one of them Mhic Easmuint...

Owen Quinn from where?

[Mhic Easmuint]

I'm not on that team Glensman.
Owen Quinn from Rasharkin

[SlimShady]

Owen from Rasharkin.

You put it very mildly there glensman, whoever writes the responses are a bundle of arseholes. the simplest of questions gets the comeback of ''CCC's'' and GAC's and ''why dont you join up and do something about it'' etc etc.

[Glensman]

Was putting it mildly as to cause no offence to anyone on the board here...its pretty much a great service if they toned down the sarcasm/condescending natujre of the replies it would be better.

That's not Owen Quinn as in the fell who was on the county panel a couple of years ago?

Good young referees are what we need. Have played a couple of matches this year with a few elder statesmen in the middle - pretty grim stuff. Thats not to say they don't deserve credit...I wouldn't do it if you paid me.

A few years back as I was the only senior player watching I had to ref a minor club game - one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. Completely lost it - at one point started shouting at some fella who was giving me grief from the crowd, lost the page of the wee diary I was writing the scores in and had to add them up when I eventually found it with about 10 minutes left (while paying full attention to the game of course...) and also forgot to start the watch at the start of the second half (just waited until the team winning's manager started shouting at me to finish it then added on 5 minites).
Doing a couple of things at once was never a forte of mine.

Good win for Creggan.

Division 2 looks like it could be tight enough. The malone roaders maybe won't find they'll go through this division as handily as the other ones if they're drawing with St. Enda's.

Back to normality for Cargin. Portglenone must have gave St Galls their fill of it. Seems they've started ok.I thought they were going downhill -perhaps not.

Wouldn't have expected Ballymena to run Rasharkin so close either. Maybe the Logan's will have a big influence.

[Glensman]

You're awful anti the Malone roaders imtommygunn!
Rossa, Glenravel and Rasharkin should be clear favourites for Div 2 anyway.
Bit too much of a step up for the Malone roaders this year maybe.

Any reports from the Portglenone St Galls match? Milltown Row?

The Logan's must have a big influence on any team...all good footballers. Ballymena beat Portglenone there a couple of weeks agp..admittedly both might not have been at full strengthe but not bad going.

[Ethan Edwards]

My Prediction for this weekend

Creggan Kickhams   v    Dunloy   , Creggan to Win Easily
St. Johns               V   Cargin     , Cargin but it will be close
Lamh Dhearg          V   St. Galls   St Galls to win Easily
Moneyglass             V   St. Pauls  St Pauls but it will be close
Gort Na Mona         V   Portglenone  Portglenone but it will be close

Anyone got any other views

[imtommygunn]

GNM to beat Portglenone and Creggan Dunloy to be a lot tighter than people might think...

All others I would agree with.

Moneyglass and St Pauls have a bit of history so would expect that to be close and involve a few handbags!

[milltown row]

was not at the Ports game, running three senior teams needs a big squad, i was playing for the thirds. but i heard they stole the game with a last minute goal. tough game but still seniors are without a lot of regulars.

[johnjoe]

Very quiet thread recently, no scandals or nothin goin on!

Question for the city slickers! Hows your end of the Feile Peile getting on?

Were there any games played this week?

[gallsman]

I see the U21 is well under way, with the 1/4 finals on tonight. I played sevens last Thursday, first time I'd kicked a ball since the previous 1/4 final last August! Anyone know when the semis and final are scheduled for? Would love to get back in time for them.

[Ethan Edwards]

My predictions were spot on last week, should've done it in the bookies, anyway this weeks games will be tougher to forecast


Dunloy                 V      Moneyglass     - Moneyglass buy a pt
Creggan Kickhams  V      Portglenone   - Creggan Buy A Couple
St. Galls               V       Gort Na Mona - St Galls easily
St. Pauls              V       St. Johns       - Draw
Cargin                  V      Lamh Dhearg  - Cargin Easily

what do yous think
