Jeepers creepers lads & ladies. Happy new year, peace and good will to all men and women.

There is a few pics on Saffron Gael that don't do any favours for some lads, hopefully Lenny and his backroom team will sort it.

Happy Christmas mates and non mates..

F**k me. Yet another thread turning into the Tony show.

Sure players know the rules inside out! They never make mistakes or foul but best of all the managers and keyboard warriors know it all

I'd a player give off to me the whole game, his team was getting stuffed and he questioned every call by me! Possibly 20 points in it but it was my fault! I said to him if he'd concentrate on marking his man put in an honest shift and defend  without fouling they would have only lost by 15!

Finton Mark Colum All goodins, County have plenty of dedicated lads, no shortage it seems of people willing to put something back into the county, rather than bad mouthing all the time on discussion boards

An opinion is like an asshole, everybody has one and no matter where you go you'll find them.   

Sure that is the beauty of the GAA, we all have our part to play, no matter how small both for club and county. 

Think club will be under-18 in 2018.....
And in county minor management I will really be surprised if Fitzy is even considering that position after the goings on this term in a one sided austerity imposition.

Fitzys over a div 1 side is the talk.

Great appointment for them if it happens.

Where will it leave the Ahoghill and Portglenone clubs now the Stinsons team has folded? Sad to see in my opinion. I suppose it's one of the problems with almalgamations, keeping everybody happy.

Reasonable enough comment, probably.  When I was reffing a bit, we had to put up with 60 minutes of non stop yapping & dog's abuse, but you weren't allowed to open your mouth back. Mind you, a well placed one liner usually kept them quiet, for a while.

I did a bit of reffing myself, used to love the one liners! Never anything really cheeky or severe just enough to let them know i could bite back.

We are blessed with good refs in the county in both football and hurling. Cunning is likely top of the pile along with Mark O'Neill. I watched a few games that McCotter from Sarsfields did, very good also. 

Michael Davitt GAC are proud to announce that work on our new pitch (in collaboration with Corpus Christie College) and associated facilities started earlier this week.

Throughout our illustrious 105 year history, Michael Davitt GAC has never had a pitch that we could really call home but now our dream will soon come true.

It has been a long and arduous journey to get to this stage but the commitment and determination of our club committee, and in particular our chairman Tommy Shaw, to realise our goals never ceased.

With the help of local Sinn Féin councillors, particularly Cllr Ciaran Beattie and Cllr Jim McVeigh, Sinn Féin MLA Fra McCann, our local MP Paul Maskey, Belfast City Council, schools, the local Parish, Diocese, Space & Place, BIFFA and local residents, a barren piece of land that once blighted the area will soon be a state of the art facility, benefiting the whole community. We would like to offer our thanks to you all for your assistance and support. Without you all this project would not have been possible.

Go raibh míle maith agaibh.

This £1.5m project will consist of a full size Gaelic pitch complete with spectator stand, changing rooms, hurling wall, 4G training pitch with floodlights, car park, children's playground, outdoor gym and highway to health walkway/TRIM trail and should complete in approx 44 weeks.

We welcome the co-operation, understanding and support from the residents of St Marys Gardens over the upcoming weeks.

Finally, we look forward to providing a hub for our beloved sports to the local community and beyond.

Good news that Woodlands gets a game, a very good set up.

Some of those who have left the place may want to see it again aslong as they don't insult the natives.

Any recommended ones in Belfast direction??Though my eldest is only 2 (going on 12) so dont know if i should leave it another few yrs but didnt take her to any last yr either.  Have a 4 month old too so wouldnt really want any with a very long wait.

I hear the Gruffalo trail in Colin Glen forest park is quite good. Ends up at Santas Grotto etc.

Yeah I agree with development of all our grounds
He was talking about developing it as county ground until
Casement which I  didn't agree with.  Ballymena perfect spot
And should have been as opposed to dunSILLY
BUT from what Ive seen not much research done there

Cant argue with the location of Ballymena and general support for development there, I just cant see how it could be developed into a ground which could hold a big game never mind a series of them?

Cant use the main pitch across the road for any big games because of the lack of changing facilities. Parking is adequate for big juvenile clubs games but outside of that additional space is going to be needed for cars. Where does that come from?

I think it presents more problems than solutions and again it creates the arguement of developing one club's grounds while not doing others.

This is not a slight on the work carried out by All Saints in recent years against a backdrop of resistance, it has been a stirling effort.

I think if you check back on my posts around the time of the Rasharkin Lamh Dhearg fight, i expressed those concerns.

When one of our better referees was attacked?

Yeah.

Ballymena is the place for it. Central and good pitch and parking.

Friday night games are a superb idea but SW un12/14 and minor hurling is on a Friday night so work will be needed.

Did p gallachers motion pass?

Don't think it was classed as a motion.

Convention going to be dwarfed by brexit..
