Ulster Colleges

[trailer]

It was alright in the 90s  going to J'town and to f@=k about for a few years, kicking ball, changing courses and eventually leaving with no qualifications.  Worse case you would rack up £5k - £7k or thereabouts of student loans.  Different story these days in that if you undertake the same 'journey' you come out with nothing but £20k+ debt.

If the GAA was to close down tomorrow, there'd still be:

1. Academically challenged lads staying on for A-Levels / leaving cert, because they're 16 years old and don't know what they want to do yet in life, and staying in school is both the best and least final decision for now.

2. Academically challenged young lads going to college for a few weeks/months or even a year, because they're 18 years old and don't know yet what they want to do in life. But they do gain a life experience and a bit of perspective.

3. Both academically challenged and academically suited young lads heading to college, for no other reason than to go partying for as long as they can get away with it, before they go into a trade, or a family firm, etc.

Reading some of the comments above though, you'd swear it was Gaelic Games was the driver.

Think the days of getting to stay in a school because of football is over. And fellas going to J'stown to do some bullshit course and play some football should catch themselves on as well. Most employers put CVs with J'stown degrees on them straight into the bin.

That's just full of crap

Ok they just delete them. Sorry pedantic pat.

If an applicant meets the criteria they should be given an interview, as far as I know you can't have criteria that says degrees from this college is binned/deleted

Its been a while since I was interviewing people but can't remember that being on it..

What colleges degrees are you ok with?

I saw the Abbey posted that their game wouldnt be streamed tonight

A lot of Ulster School's tweets & GAA tweets in general are polluted by bots offering '4K HD Streaming'. I've no idea what these bot tweets achieve, can anybody enlighten me

They'll usually lead you to a fake site to put your bank details in and you'll get the stream of the match. I posted a few things about the Mageean Cup final on a Facebook page I have and the scum were all over it.

There was a replica of Ulster Schools GAA that actually tagged me in a post about the match. This thing looked bang on and it wasn't until I noticed it only had about 4 followers that I released it was the scammers. I was on the verge of sharing the thing.

Disappointing for St Ronan's, thought they'd have edged that with a few to sore. Abbey play Donaghmore next, didn't realise they were MacRory. Presume they're decent?

St.Colmans beat, surely thats a surprise?

Q/Fs
9-14th January

St Pats Maghera v St Mary's Magherafelt
Dungannon Academy v Carrickmacross
St Joe's Donaghmore v Abbey CBS
Omagh CBS v Blayney

4 'home' wins highly likely. AFAIK Abbey played Donaghmore in a warm up game and beat them, not that it will have any bearing on anything, but they'll not fear them.
