Rumours of Gotze to liverpool today.
that would be some signing, but I would take it with a  pinch of salt.

Klopp has never really went for the big name signings,even when in Dortmund,  he was more of a man to get the most out of potential stars

Can he play CB?!

Can our normal CB's play CB?

A big thanks to AZ from me too

Must admit I am happy with my team. Have got very unlucky with my fixtures, lost a few when I would have beat basically everyone else in the league. It can get pretty frustrating at times, top scorer in league in terms of points but just top of my division.

This weeks game will be tight but, the superb owls have a great 7-2 record.

As far as I know, you just need to drop him and others can then pick him up on the waiver wire.

Otherwise you just keep him on roster and get an extra defensive player in instead of another roster player which you drop.

You have a max roster size, to add another defensive player, someone has to be dropped to waiver wire.

Yeah would just like to reiterate what has been said. Great job once again AZ and many thanks! Makes the games that bit more enjoyable.

+1 to above, and I am available to draft any evening.

The NFL and Yahoo ones are very similar, basically the same in fact.

It doesn't work, and I am speaking as a Fermanagh fan here, as Fermanagh would prefer to lose to Dublin in front of 40k instead of potentially beating a Div3 team in a B final in front of 5k. Fermanagh train for the big days out, not to play in a side show. I have never heard one player say they wanted a tiered system, it seems to just be the media.

A tiered system would mean less revenue for the B counties from sponsorship and attendences etc as they would have far less exposure, I can't see Sky or RTE fighting over the B comp. It would just lead to a bigger gap opening up between the strong and weak.

It folks really want more teams contending for the all Ireland and less hammerings, why not try to improve the weaker counties and not just boot them out. The real issue is money, if the GAA spread the wealth more from the rich to the poor, over time more teams will improve!

It's not really all about the players either , GAA in general always seem to take supporters for granted, I don't want to watch Dublin hammer Fermanagh . All the objections to a tiered championship are " everyone deserves a chance of the big time " blah blah , sure you won't be a junior club for long if you put the work in .


That's a fair point, but there will still be hammerings. Every competition in the world has them.

13 league games each to get to a top 4, and basically removing the knock out part of the competition to me is a complete no go. It would lead to a lot of meaningless games and over exposure in my eyes!

Championship should be knock out, with a back door if we want, but shouldn't have a league format for me. A few counties including Fermanagh have tried a league type championship and it failed. People just didn't like it.

I do think it would be great if teams took the national league more seriously but.

Well said Exiledgael. Give me a run in the qualifiers and a potential big win over a pointless B competition every time!! Among the players I don't think there is any support for a tiered comp, personnally I just think the idea is been drove by the media as it's easy column inches and sound bites!

A tiered system would just make the strong stronger and the weak weaker!

Congrats OakLeaflad, tight game, only beat me by 2, great comeback from you. Last night killed me, AJ going off injured and scoring zero and my kicker only scoring 2, not good. I won't lie, its a tough beat!!

But a great year all round, looking forward to the B Division next year!!!
I only just checked it, would have swore you had it in the bag. Seriously hard luck with AJ Green and your kicker. I needed those touchdowns from Sanders.

Sure I will be seeing you in the B Division next year.

Thanks again AZ!

Yeah, cheers AZ, great work!
