Stiff, I wasn't agreeing, I was saying the performance I had seen the previous week suggested they deserved their place in the team. Just read it again but I can see how it may have been misconstrued.

The work rate today was really great, thought very solid defensively too, getting numbers and closing spaces.

You may be right, but the Niall I watched last weekend was very effective around the middle.

Surely that's not the fault of these so called bigger teams who have developed better players or their underage systems flourished during a certain timespan. Maybe I've read your comment wrong.

Even professional sports people have a break. The reason is it helps recharge themselves from constant demands, both physical and mental. Not saying players should t keep up some degree of fitness but I think they need time for themselves. Que the argument of why player retention is so shite

Smurfy, I'm sure your info is wrong.

Is there a senior panel listed already? I thought there was a rule about training in November and December?

That was announced a couple weeks ago on twitter.

Gareth McKibbon I think. Scored quite a few as well.

Is there a sanction that can ban for life?
If it is who I've seen mentioned then that just is unbelievable

Be better for that young lad not to preview it to anyone if CL wants to keep things tight.

Another way of looking at the appointment question, who else has enough experience and ability for that game. The best won't take it because of the team involved. After that there isn't enough experience at that level for that game.
The b-line made for ref at the end is not acceptable for either a player or committee member/ex-referee!

There's a certain trend appearing here. I don't get it, I don't like it. It's not the spirit of our games.

3 finals this weekend. Each one a step up from each other in quality but all 3 made brilliant viewing. TV coverage was class. Well done to the 3 winners, all deserved to win on the day. Commiseration's to the beaten finalist's, they all put in a great shift.

Very entertaining game, good to see the kick pass isn't  dead after all. Fair play to both teams, playing really goods games in terrible conditions. Saval seemed to have the edge in desire I thought.

There's no point coaching players when they get to senior level, if they can't do all the basics extremely well and have the conditioning at that stage it's too late. Can't teach an 18 year old how to catch a ball. That's foundation work from u14.
Top coaches only dictate the style of play and how they want their teams to play the game in a senior set up.

Are you sure, when McCrory left was there any continuity or MCivor after that. I'm not so sure.

Leave the AI club winners to go play 4th fiddle in a Down set up, again I can't see that either. Maybe I'm wrong.
