It was tactically spot on! Frustrated a team in every area they thrive on and hot them for scores outselves, only issue is our pack of ability to shoot from distance. In fact, the final score from Armagh there was a foul on Doherty that the ref didnt call. Was it great free flowing football? no because we would now be reading comments about how poor we are and unable to put it up to better teams if we had of tried. Tyrone and Donegal have won Ulsters playing frustrating football, you do what you have to. There are no rules that will change football back to the 90's. Coaches and backroom teams are too smart and professional now to use rules to advantage. Just leave game alone. Same people complaining probably spend a few hundred pound to fly to england and watch 90 mins of 0-0 scoreline and lads falling like they broke their leg and walk with the ball. Least we get it for £20
Did u not watch Doherty on Saturday diving around the place?? It was embarrassing - I think he got 1 free out of 4 diving attempts. But in the Down club championship he gets all of them frees as our referees fall for them every time.
U20s win the Leo Murphy cup tonight - Laverty should introduce a few of them to the panel going into the B cup. Time a few were cut adrift as they are not getting near the match day squads.

In a nutshell, no.
The most sure fire method we could every conceive of to reduce adult player numbers, and to place a giant wall between juvenile and adult playing days, is to make the cost of fielding reserve football teams prohibitive.
That said, development leagues - like reserve football, minor b teams, under 14b teams etc - have no need to be played on an all county basis.

CCC have met this evening and given the current weather conditions have decided to postpone all fixtures, adult and juvenile, football and hurling scheduled for Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th of April.
CCC will review matters again on Sunday evening in relation to the coming week.
The All County League Fixtures scheduled for tomorrow night Friday proceed as planned and Clubs are reminded of the protocol surrounding postponements.

It sounds like there are plenty of clubs really struggling with their pitches at the minute, especially those clubs with only one pitch. In this case I think it's the right decision. It could also mean a slightly bigger crowd at the county game, with no premier reserve games tomorrow.
