Well done to Allenwood and also to Milltown for winning Junior - both clubs are in the same parish

Fintona had an unbelievable period in late 70s.
They won JFC in 1975.They won the IFC in 1978 and were just beaten (1pt) by Carrickmore in SFC in 1979.
One of my first SFC finals, not sure where final was. Dessie Campbell and Dermot Mc Guigan stood out as key players

This will likely be an unpopular opinion, but referees have been feeding this beast for years, by turning a blind eye during matches, and accepting post-match apologies deliberately feigned to ensure a more favourable report. And now they can no longer control the beast.
Now they need to take control again, which means getting together and forcing through a new code, along the lines of:
1. personal abuse from player or mentor - immediate red card.
2. more than two instances from the one side - match abandoned.
3. abuse from supporters - registered as a complaint with their CCCC. Every second complaint sees the reversal of a home match, or a requirement to play with no spectators for a match.
And re no. 1, suspensions should work on a multiplier level and carried over two seasons. First offence, 1 match ban. Second instance, two match ban, and so on.
Perhaps more importantly, they need to police this from within. If they find tgat one of their own is being lenient on personal abuse, then sanction him.
One season of learning and heartache for players, mentors and supporters would clean up football forever.

Quote from: rrhf on April 06, 2023, 07:47:47 AMI only seen him once live in a Centenary Cup match in Dungannon but his free kicks made a real impression on me. Frank McGuigan was still the best footballer on the pitch that day though.Quote from: bennydorano on April 05, 2023, 04:40:44 PMMatt Connor is the football connoisseurs answer. Most people cannot dispute as they have only seen a clip or 2.Quote from: grounded on April 04, 2023, 01:38:20 PMNot wanting to be disrespectul to the man but Matt Connor enters nearly every GAA conversation eventually in a Godwins law type way. Mo Fitz going the same way.Quote from: tc_manchester on April 04, 2023, 08:37:08 AM
The cleanest kicker of a dead ball I've seen was Matt Connor of Offaly
A fantastic free taker. Having seen both though, i'd still say Maurice Fitzgerald was better at frees. Matt Connor was a better all round player though!

What's the feeling on the beer debate?

I know from going to games that it is just an excuse for a sess, but if you take away the badwagon the rugby community in Ireland is not that big, so what do they do?
Quote from: lurganblue on January 19, 2023, 12:40:44 PMExactly - I took a seat at the bar and ordered a pint. She poured it and handed it to me and that was it. Pouring and handing me the pint was 71 cents worthQuote from: tc_manchester on January 18, 2023, 02:59:10 PM
Went into Richard Corrigan's new place 'The Park Cafe' in Ballsbridge last week. A pint at the bar was 7.81 - when I got the receipt the actual price was 7.10 and a 'discretionary service charge' of 10% had been added. If it was discretionary I'd like to have been asked about it before I had to pay it
What's this? So you ordered while up at the bar. They didn't even come to your table and take your order and bring it to you for that 10%?
