how'd cross lineout?
See Tony K hit the peno, was there no Oisin?

Surely cross 1st and 2nds have to be treated as two seperate teams.
If they were treated as one they could play their seniors in the intermediate championship or the third divison (bar those in the 1st 15).

For example i couldn't line out for clann eireann in division 2 one week and then for st peters in divisions 3 the next, i would need a transfer!  Why should cross be allowed this option.
Surely they should have a named squad for both teams with players not allowed to interchange unless they transfer between sides as would happen with any other teams in the county.

on someone's previous post re the o'rourkes, it looks very much like that's the way things have gone. great pity.

I don't think he is referring to the o rourkes leaving, i think he is refering to  post saying that dromintee struggle without the 3 of them!

As a neutral at the game i thought ferris done rightly, it was him who made a magnificent block to deny madden a winning point in the dying seconds.  I also attended the Cross semi final and he was outstanding.

How many times do we go to club matches and fail to see county players performing to a high standard, its not possible for them to be lethal all the time.  You also have to remember that it has been over a month since any county player last played a competitive game unless they featured against cavan or down

OB i think your statement was a disgrace and was uncalled for.  From your comment it seems that you have some kind of ill feeling towards Carrickcruppen as you brought in another name who hadn't previously been mentioned.

Having made the statement and then to follow it up by saying you weren't even at the game shows the type of Gael you probably are, one in which sits on his hole and then comes on forums to slag players off who are giving there all for club and county.

As uladh has said, there'd have to be a lot better out there to exclude him from the panel!!!

Red this in yesterdays Irish News...

- As a result of the Fermanagh reaching the Ulster final, the Fermanagh CCC has agreed to postpone a number of the proposed rounds of the senior football league to enable the team to prepare for the final. This Friday night's round of senior football leagues will go ahead as scheduled but no further rounds of the SFL will take place until after the Ulster Final.

The Erne Cup will go ahead as scheduled with the exception of games involving Coa and allowances will be made for Maguiresbridge during the Fermanagh hurlers' involvement in the Nicky Rackard Cup. To ensure that club players in Fermanagh are provided with competitive football competitions, the CCC has created a new competition to be played over the next month. It is hoped to confirm a sponsor for the competition shortly. The details of the new competition are as follows:

1. No county players are allowed to play

2. No cancellations

3. Three sections, with six teams in each section.

4. Top team in each section will go into a draw, one team will go straight into the final and the remaining two will take part in a semi-final.

5. The dates for the games are Friday, July 4, Sunday, July 6, Friday, July 11, Sunday, July 13, Friday, July 18; Semi-final: Sunday, July 27; Final: Friday, August 1.

6. The fixtures will be confirmed at the weekend, the clubs in each section are detailed below.

Section A: Kinawley, Belcoo, Coa, Derrygonnelly, Lisnaskea, Tempo

Section B: Aughadrumsee, Roslea, Newtownbutler, Brookeboro, Derrylin, St Patrick's

Section C: Teemore, Erne Gaels, Enniskillen, Devenish, St Joseph's, Irvinestown


What you think of this?
I believe its a decent idea as the club footballers don't suffer!

So corn, have they left?

if you want to have a head to head to force a decision in peoples' minds then you are choosing the wrong battle ground. armagh u21 club championship versus the CL final is harly a fair test. If you feel we have to go head to head then by all means use an ulster champinship match or similar to give the GAA  fighting chance.

To me if you are a good clubman/women it is a fair test.
I have played and watched soccer for most of my time.  Still to me, if my club was playing in the semi final of the under 21 club championship and the soccer team i supported was in the champions league final i know where i'd be at and i'm sure those true Cross or Cruppen fans would agree with me.

Armagh GAA website has the panel up for Sunday
Different to what Uladh is telling us
Hopefully its right

Heres the address - it won't allow me to copy

Cheers, Uladh, your sources are usually quite sound.

Uladh who were your sources saying Martin Ferris was off the panel.
Not true as far as i'm aware.

In fairness to Glensman.  He is correct - does be some shit wrote aboout players on here.
Can you really try and judge them on their playing ability at this time of the year?

Any word Benny has quit the Down Panel after being left out of the squad that went to La Manga.
Apparently he was injured and it was the physio that informed himhe would not be making the trip.
I think the same applied to Ambrose Rodgers.
Surely the trip would have been ideal to get treatment to recover from his injury!

I thought Ferris was shocking on sunday, I noticed Kenny Archer gave him a good review in the Irish News and couldn't understand why, he was skinned and  he pulled out of a few tackles as well.  I've previously thought he'd a lot of potential.

Thought myself that he was one of armaghs better players on the day.  He was one of a few who didn't give away possession.  Have seen alot of him as last few years between club and county and one thing he cannot be accused of is pulling out of tackles.  Seen him put his body on the line on numerous occasions before.

With McGeeney being an avid supporter of the GPA it will be good to say what he thinks if the proposed strike goes ahead.  It'll be some craic when you goes to take Kildare in his first game and no one shows up!!

and the chemist is....

why will use not name him for us less educated folk who don't know any chemists in Cross??

I heard it was off because the lights at the bridge weren't ready.
I was waiting for complaints...

The ref discussion seems to have worn it's self out so whats next???

I dont know what we'll fight about now...someone say something controversial. 

The bridge set up is shit - imagine only 2 days after their opening there fecking lights don't work!!! All this and no fecking scoreboard

Thats not what they think round Camlough, they reckon there the main challengers to Cross.

Some how i can't think that they are serious challengers to cross, in saying that they are probably about as serious a challenge as dromintee will be
