Maybe Covid fcuked it up. Two sides to every story. Covid wrecked a lot of businesses, some a lot longer established than Gaelfast. I would be very surprised if it cannot be put back together again, Yes /No?

Possibly can be put back together but my question goes back to the fundamental reason why it fell apart and if the GAA will allow it to be put back together. Gaelfast has been an absolute mess. Losing Paul Donnelly was an absolute disgrace.

Common thread " Ourselves Alone" create chaos to become relevant period!

This league is really just glorified friendlies with severely weakened teams.

Only in league one, the other leagues are very competitive

What did I say that is wrong? They're like glorified friendlies in division one. I didn't say they shouldn't be playing games.

u r saying without the stars they friendlies.. wat about the young bucks getting a run they would nt normally get . Class for me

[Milltown Row2]

I think he just said it's glorified friendly's ?

No relegation so great for teams to explore their squads. The young bucks will (in most cases) not oust a county player come championship. A good manager should be doing breaking in players every year, not just cause of the current set up

[bannside]

The league this year really dosent matter. It's an unusual season where only show in town is cship. We beat Lamh Dhearg tonight by whatever, don't really know, but when these teams meet in CShip it's a totally new game. Good for managers to blood new players and build their panels. Cargin will still be the team to beat.

[JimStynes]

There's a serious number of injuries as well. A lot of teams are only playing games with 2/3 certain championship starters. It's still better than no football at all. But I would say managers in division 1 are learning very little about their teams at the minute.

Worth it when the county is going so well!

Did Endas v Brigids game go ahead? See you were down to ref it but no result on county website??

[imtommygunn]

I have st endas on twitter and they were getting beat by 7 or 8 points at one stage in the second half. Didn't see how it panned out. The results only show up when reliable refs send them in apparently  (Sorry couldn't resist haha)

Edit: I maybe don't have them on my twitter but it came up somewhere on my twitter feed.

Lol!!! My god there are some eagle eyes about, I thought Brendan would be on giving us a run down on how they played

[bannside]

Not much chat about our big game on Sunday. 70 mins from bring a Division three team. I'm heading down confident but wary of what happened in 08 when Waterford burst our bubble in Casement in a winner takes all encounter..... especially when you look at the calibre of that 08 team, the majority of them featuring prominently for Baker the following year.

Lady luck has shone on us to date this season, if we guard very strongly against any remote prospect of complacency, we could be celebrating over our lunch on Sunday

Good luck to all. Saffron Abu.

Any team news?
