In my head - 29. On the calendar - who cares? You can't avoid getting older - just don't get "old".

And, for a final cliché - getting older is preferable to the alternative.

Closer now to fifty than forty, but in my mind I'll always be 29, the barber doesn't even ask about the eyebrows now, though the wife looks after the ears, but I was in M&S recently and looked at one of the shirts and thought, hmmm thats not bad. I came to my senses and put it back pronto, but like the day I got my first grey hair, things are definitely changing.

Credit to both teams, that was a belter. Burren 2.13  Kilcoo 2.10

Burren are a joke, diving cheating wrestling .

It's six of one and half a dozen of the other. Kilcoo aren't exactly angels themselves.

All square in Newry, extra time to be played. Burren have that wee bit of momentum that could see them win this.

You should be named 37 sams.

shane mulholland was pretty scathing of the county board and the way he felt he was treated in an interview in todays newry reporter.

You'd have to have a certain amount of sympathy for Shane and how he has been treated by the County Executive Comittee. He may have not have got the results that we'd have hoped for but he was certainly trying to lay the foundations for the future development of underage football within the county. Questions have to be asked as to why we have no clear strategy for underage development, what happened to the development squad sub committee and their so called strategic review, which according to Shane, never saw the light of day. Typical of the Down way.

Still, Chucky Ned will pick up his salary on the last Friday of the month, Shane Mulholland never saw a penny, nor did he ask for one. At senior level we couldn't afford Tony McEntee, yet we can afford to keep the same hangers on, year in, year out, who are doing nothing but rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, sure what else would they do, it's the Down way after all.

They say you get the government you deserve so it must also be true of county boards. It's all well and good blaming minor managers or former Armagh players for the state of our county teams, but when you have a county board and in particual a full time, salaried county secretary who are totally inept then we will always be fighting a losing battle.

160 miles from Newry and hotels are at a premium in Wexford, €200 for a bog standard room for one night. Wouldn't it be a great idea if we had a paid secretary who could have a wee word with his conterpart in Wexford and arrange an earlier throw in, to allow the travelling supporters to get home before midnight.
Of course it would be even better if you didn't have to worry about travel arrangements for away games and could sit on the bus with the players and management, even get on the pitch for a wee walk about before the throw in.

We won't mention the new county website and who is running it.
