Mcnabb and sludden will both make an appearance id be fairly certain of that. Dont think a dislocated kneecap is season ending is it? And sludden will come crawlin back with his tail between his legs. Few mind games at work here methinks. Dromore would be strong favourites? Wont be one for the neutral or the faint hearted...

Striking and attempted striking carry exactly the same punishment, category 2 infraction, rule 5.1...so many 'experts' on here who havent the first clue what theyre talking about

Yes but if the ref has striking down in his report and you prove attempted striking you'll get off and vice versa.

That cant possibly be right. Is there a precedence for this or are the home learned law degrees coming to the fore again? If its true then surely the cccc(ccccc....) are many times worse than i imagined

You miss my point - don't give it if you can't take it. I'm sure it hasn't cost Kernan a second thought, I was pointing out that this young fella seems to use this as part of his game.

There is no point crying to the world on Twitter that your opponent celebrated in your face if you spend time during a game whispering nice things in his ear.

I have to agree with you. Its not somethin i like to see. At all. Epsecially if you cant take it/back it up. Surely its counter productive into the bargain? Only serving to strengthen the resolve and determination of the opposition? If you ask me it all stems from the tyrone senior panel. Characters like ricey brought it to the fore and made it acceptable in many tyrone supporters eyes. The end justifying the means. Incidentaly, dromore remain masters at it. It is also why tyrone would be noones second team...

I saw there was some sour grapes on Twitter yesterday from an Omagh player, the same person who was clearly seen to be goading Aaron Kernan during the game v Cross.

Half a story there bearded wan. Names, links, evidence? As an aside i heard that kernan went home an cried for a week to ten days after what was said to him. Apparently he hasnt come across this type of behaviour before in crossmaglen, armagh or the island of ireland as a whole. It shook his core beliefs and made him question why he even plays gaelic fudball in the first place. Contemplatin a switch to the gentlemans code of rugby union. Thats what i heard anyway.

I said drumragh as a club, not neccessarily the players. The committee are more than happy to have nice facilities, big draws, etc... If half the effort was put into the senior team results would be more favourable. The mens senior football team is the benchmark for any club. A successful senior team tends to drag everyone else along. As for the players themselves, i think they have probably detected the apathy towards them and as a result their commitment has faltered. Drumragh are probably five years off mounting any sort of serious league or cship assault. And that is with a serious amount of hard work by lots of different people. Otherwise the good bunch they have coming through will fade to nothing. If ss thinks they can turn things around in a few months of close season then he knows much less about football than i give him credit for. Anyway. Drumragh are a pretty small fish in the grand scheme of things and are probably gettin too much airtime here. Any thoughts on the parish's main club chances on sunday? S'neill will be their toughest game to date id say. Just hope the townies have the stomach for it....

Drumragh as a club need a change in attitude. Many of the older senior players seem happy enuf to put in minimal effort, and get minimal results as a consequence. The younger players seem to have a bit more bite about them. Hopefully conor gallagher realises this an doesnt pander to the old guard. He'd need to get a bit more support than recent managers tho if he's to make a proper fist of it.
