point v clann na banna off

Thought last nights game between Clann and the point was as good a game as youre gonna see, some fantastic football from both teams, and as has already been said the lad Boyle was the difference, he took some fine fine scores. The only down point on the game, apart from clann loosing oviously was the officials, how did he not send the lad off who took out the bann player along the side, it was as reckless a challenge as youll ever see, and the fella was already on a card, should have walked no question about it. Also the "point" that was not given from the free kick was an absolute shocking decision from the umpires, it was over the bar, clear as day. If they coulnt see that, then they should not be anywhere near the sticks

Thought it was absolutely hilariuos when the point lad puunched our number 4 (who isnt exactly the biggest fella in the world) in the back of the head, then ran away, absolute cowardice of the highest order.

Lastly im just glad that young mallon seemed to be alright last night, I heard an offal rumour that he had some sort of carrer threatning injury, though he seemed to have got over it, he scored an absolute cracker of a goal, but ill not tell you about, cos someones probably already put it in the irish news, perhaps hell put an apology in with it as well, and put the whole matter to bed once and for all, ill not hold my breath though, absolute joke of a lad!!!!!

having watched the game and most of the other champioship games, it seems the refs can't win. when your player has the ball, you scream for a foul at the slightest contact, yet when the opposition have the ball and getting the daylights thumped out of him, you scream  fck sake ref its a mans game, let it go. also, its only negative cmments posted about  match officials, if merited, lets hear some positive comments. they can't all be bad!!

Just a wee word on the under 14 b championship semi-final on Monday night between the Bridge and Ballyholland.. We travelled over the track of the foot where both teams were on the field on a wet night.. twenty minutes later both tems and supporters left as the referee failed to show up.. this is happening too often in Down Gaa and its up to all clubs to put pressure on the County board at Convention... Maybe a fine of one games expenses should be enforced!!!!!

And the county board will put pressure back on the clubs to provide referee's.

Its a disgrace, I know a referee who referees senior footballl every week, and would gladly do juvenile matches, yet he says he has been given just one juvenile fixture this season! And he is not the only one.

can anyone confirm the draw and date for the minor semi-finals?
