ya a definite improvement on the old board & the bonus seems to be that there are a lot of new posters

It would have been one of the last alright. Was ragin we lost that, drop me a PM to let me know who u are

On and off for 6 years, played my last game for them last summer

some problem with his hamstrings, don't have exact details, but i'll find out

Western people is usually quiet good, except for mayo matches when the journalists either dont want to insult the lads, JOm doesn't want to upset the electorate or ray silke is just being a bollix

Club: Knockmore
Past Clubs: St. Malachy's, Belfast & St. James Gaels, Dublin

Best moment: 1996 county final, beating tyrone in '04, beating dublin '06, Winning u-21 2006
Worst: Sept '89, Sept '96, Sept '97, Sept '04 & Sept '06

The junior league final between ballina & tooreen looks like it'll be sunday week, as ballina's u-21's are playing this sunday, no venue decided as yet

I think that Counties should only be allowed to change their shirt after they have won the All Ireland or a provencial title (hurling or football). That way you reward success on the field with commercial success. Fermanagh would have to play in skins but I still think it would be a fair system.

What a ridiculous statement, so would u have wicklow & fermanagh playing in the same jerseys they started out in 100 yrs ago?

No it was paul coleman who was FB the first day against ballina, Mclaughlin was out becasue the county minors were playign kerry taht weekend.
Gerry cafferkey will be playing but is only able to play one day a week & will be lucky to play the full game had to move from CB to FB for the last 10 minutes of the semi and could barely walk the next day.
Hopefully its something he can sort out over the next year cause he looks like a great propect.

I honestly dont think he's that cynical, i think nobody wants to win an AI more than him.

No word around the county today on it and i've been in ballina, kiltimagh and westport already. JOM said inthe western yesterday that he'd make a decision in another week to 10 days and he was taking this time because he didn't want to rush into it and wanted to do what was best for mayo football. Again i dont think we should slaughter him if he doesn't take it, it is a big decision for him and i think he deserves fair play, remember it was the county board who shafted him before and u cant blame him if he's wary of taking over again.
As for the mayo minors, ray dempsey has done a good job in knockmore, despite getting relegated last year but he didn't really ahve the resources and does a good job under age. As for barry murphy i dont know anything about his trainig methods but what would strike me is that he could be too nice, would he have a ruthless streak? Having said that u couldn't meet a nicer fella and if he gets it the best of luck

Glad to see '96 still rackles the stephenites 

Reading in the paper yesterday i see he played at the weekend. What i was going on was his brother saying he wouldn't be able to get much use out of his scholarship cause he was injured but he's obviously fit enough to play, which i'm glad to see, wouldn't like to be giving any excuses to ballina 
I can see this being a low scoring affair and knockmore's backs look impressive, esp with young naughton in at full back, cant see him making the mistakes that let campion in for his goals

Stephenite I dont know if i said dont turn up but i expect knockmore to win this one.
The first match was a cracking game and ballina deservedly won but the margin was a little deceiving.
Knockmore conceded 3 goals that day to campion, having watched him over the summer i dont think he can do that again.
Knockmore were missing their minor lads that day & now ballina will be missing cafferkey.
Everyone from knockmore that day left with the feeling that if we were to get another shot at ballina we'd take them and i still feel thats the case
