He is too busy with the council:) Though him and pat garvey were great under twelve managers for us many moons ago

Stop the bullshit

A coach is for coaching on the training field and come match day should be well out of the way as if he has belief in his own ability the coaching he has done should be working on the field.  If the coach is in the stand then he can sit and observe what needs to be done at the next training(s).  The coach should not be roaring instructions onto the field during play as thats the managers job.  If Declan Mussen or Poacher are the right men for the job then give it to hem no matter what a player likes or doesnt like doing.  Maybe wee James has his mate Aidan O'Rourke lined up for the job??

Morgan Milk SFC Quarter Final Draw:
Ballyholland v Rostrevor
Loughinisland v Clonduff
Mayobridge v Burren
Bryansford v Kilcoo

Around a Pound IFC quarter final draw
St John's v Kilclief
Annaclone vs Clan na Banna
Ballymartin vs Bosco
Dundrum v Attical

What a draw. Bridge v Burren and Kilcoo v Ford will be two crackers. Personally delighted with our draw.

Can't wait for them two games.
In intermediate, one of the lower division 3 teams are going to be in a semi final. With two of favourites meeting. Beauty of championship

Who would that be dundrumite?

Senior games are all veryeven i would say. I would go for burren kilcoo clonduff and it will be a toss up between ballyholland and rostrevor. i'll stick my neck out and go for ballyholland.

Intermediate seems easier to predict with Kilclief, ballymartin having the easiest game to make semi.  Annaclone and Dundrum should get through in other two ties

Have the town missed their chance or will the drawn game bring them on?? Burren should win there game with a bit to spare?

Bosco beat Glenn 1-11 to 0-10 in the IFC 1st Round Replay.

Were you at this game Down Fanatic?  What a game, Played on the line the whole game but in the end the more superior team pulled away. It was equally as good as the first game with two teams just wanting to win.  Nos. 9, 10 and 15 stood out on the bosco team, glenns no. 10 and 12 werent bad either.

Maybe your right ardhole but i can only go on what ive seen from thurs night on. If all teams raise their game for the championship these two teams were in prime condition for it and deserve to be applaued for what was a thrilling game

just home from newry and the double header was entertaining especially the first game where glenn and bosco went for it tooth and nail.  Was at most games over the weekend and by far this was the best game.  Two decent teams that probably should be in the second division with their fast flowing football.  Cant wait till the replay.  Alot of draws which is showing the competitions are very competitive throughout the county.

my thoughts and im sure everyone elses thoughts tonight are with Gaberial and his family.   This man give up his sunday night to do this game and this happens to him.  I hope Gaberial you pull through.  My prayes and all of the gaa familys prayers are for you tonight

well i think terrible is a little too harsh in fairness.. i was standing listening to both sets of supporters shouting and roaring at the referee for every single thing he blew for... Their men were pulling, dragging, clamping their arms around their opponents, tackling from behind, persistent fouling in the tackle, persistent fouling off the ball when it was being played in... What is the referee supposed to do here... If he lets the advantage rule kick in - he is criticised if the play breaks down, if he dont let it kick in - he is criticised.  If he allows the pulling, and dragging thing to continue both on and off the ball - he gets criticised.  Every single aspect listed above is breaking the rules.  You may throw - ah but jaysus let common sense prevail - no - its breaking the rules and thats it.  If you continue to break them you get booked or sent off.  The players in this county are well aware of what the rules are and while clubs are partial to releasing some of their hard earned money to various managers and trainers - they would do well to actually coach the tackle and explain what you are allowed to do and not allowed to do in a game.  Training sessions usually end with a game - this is where the corrections should be made.  Stop the game if there is a genuine foul and explain why.  Maybe then people would get off referees backs and actually watch the game.  And for all the supporters of Mooney - he scored one hell of a point in the first half claiming the ball in front of the stand and hitting a 1 - 2 and putting it over the bar and his point in the second half was decent - but he should not have been on the pitch at this stage imo.  He persistently fouled in the first half and finally got booked - should have got his scond yellow card - but the referee did rostrevor a huge favour by not depleting them... but did the referee get any plaudits - na - only criticism....

I totaly agree the art of tackling is gone completly out of the game.  its now al about stoppng the man with the ball at all costs as far away from the goals as possible.  I wasnt at the match last night but i have been at the bad end of some of this refs decision in my time and he cant explain himself what hes booking players for and alot of the time doesnt even know what till give a free for,  but again i dont blame all on the men in the middle as at least their brave enough till take the whistle and only for them there would be no game..    A middle ground needs to be found in fairness

all im going to say is i can see two predictions that everyone has made that will be threatened big time one of which is in the snr and one of which is int.   I hope im right

Can some one please tell me what garvey was ment to do when o'driscoll came storming towards him??  F**k some people talk alot of balls on this site

When will it be made offical that POR is gone

Time to plan without Benny & Clarke and set our sights on a purposeful attack on Ulster next year with the likes of seniors such as Doyle, Ambrose & Raff back on board and supporting the younger talent the county is still producing.

Thats a disgraceful thing to say about one of the best players never to win an all reland from our county. When the ball got to him yesterday cork made sure at all times he was at least double marked if not trebled marked.  He never give up

no doubt the kerry folk will be shouting for their neighbours this evening as they know they can beat them in croker.  (Something they cant do to Down)  UP DOWN

this whole fixture set up is becoming a joke now.  NO games not knowing who or when we play next.  The club player is getting so badly treated here is gone even beyond a joke.
