Does anyone know when Tyrone CCC plan to release the League Fixtures for 2013 or has there been a decision on when they intend to play the club championship?

When does Cavan club football kick off??

I just feel what McGuinness did yesterday with Bogue was odd and very damaging for the future.  Seems he now has punished the Belfast Telegraph readers.  Having read the book I dont think much was really said about Jim and his players, certainly nothing inciteful on how to win, no special ingredient to succeeding was revealed, there was certainly nothing we already didn know.  After 2003 Mickey Harte and Peter Canavan went on to release books that give an indepth insight into the Tyrone set-up and this didnt hamper Tyrone going on to win again in 2005 or 2008. Life is short, sport is there for all of us to enjoy and I didnt think what Kevin Cassidy or Bogue did was gravely wrong.  I feel for Kevin Cassidy today.  Kevin over the years has been a great ambassador for Donegal and the GAA.  Jim might well have been in his rights to do what he did, but sport is there for us all to savour, why do we tune into RTE? To hear Spillane and Brolly and get a little chuckle, Why do we buy the Gaelic Life paper? To read about our sport. Without books, papers, internet coverage, TV programmes, shows etc on the GAA things would be alot duller. There is approximately 1200 county footballers in Ireland, and the rest of us only dream about playing at county level, the media through books etc is the only way we can experience for a moment what its like to be a county player.  I dont think expelling Kevin from the squad won Donegal the AI, nor did the book prevent Donegal winning the AI.  Just live and let live Jim. Let the line be drawn in the sand and move on.

How is Teemore performing this year. Is paddy doing a good job with them?

Corks cynical fouling will play a major aspect to the game. They wont let donegal build from the back but instead stop their runs from the donegal full back line.  If an attacker is pushed up on McHugh he might struggle to cope with that, but I feel it will be down to whether Cork will feel comfortable in pushing an attacker up on Mark McHugh rather than the convential idea of letting the 'loose half back' become a sweeper. 

Best of Luck
