I wasn't suggesting you paid your inside coaches, it was in reference to 'Belfast Gaa man' question about paying outside coaches that I responded.

I think the question he asked was there any coached paid. And there have been, don't want to mention the peoples names as I don't think its fair as its common practise now days

Couldn't believe St John's played one man up front during the entire second half with a huge wind at their back. Having said that, Creggan looked good value for their win to set up a tasty first ever all country final.

Couldn't believe that either, bad, bad tactics, with a gale like that they should have had 3 up attacking, it cost them big time. But Creggan were the better team in the second half as St Johns handed them easy possession to carry up against that wind. Its funny but that daft goal separated the teams. Delighted for Creggan. St Johns won't won anything playing tactics like that

Such an enjoyable game in Creggan today, with what can only be described as a stunning goal from Tomas Mc Cann from a  free kick to win the game. Cargin the better team over the hour, but the St Galls goals looked like they had it won, they will wonder how they conceded the goal with the game literally over, so many players on the line and still it hit the roof of the net. Final word on the ref, his decision to haul back for a free when a Cargin player was ready score a goal three minutes into injury, which would have won the game for Cargin,  when he had signaled advantage was as a bad a decision as you will ever see. I said to my friend if Cargin loose I was worried if the ref would have gotten off the pitch, as he simply had denied them that chance to win it.

Great game

The reserve football is an absolute embarrassment. The CCC think that's its respectful to reserve footballer to play the res championship in March before the league has started and in most cases players are unfit and are just started back training, its just shocking. Simply shocking, I can't communicate effectively how disgusted I am by that.
They then play the league after the championship. The league itself is fine up until the split, then you have the situation where you have a res team going to one venue whilst your senior team playing in another all over lapping, great if you have forty players, but due to the championship being over before a ball is kicked at senior level most players interest level has dropped and clubs struggle with the numbers, utterly thoughtless. Complete lip service to these players, never mind the league game where the ref didn't turn up

Also hearing that Niall Mc Keever is on holiday and not available for the game against St Galls this weekend. If true, he must have no respect at all for his fellow players or club. He has literally 10 and a half months of the year to do this but chooses the championship period. Dates have been available from April

Had planned to go to Creggan to see St galls game, but lucky enough got wind that it wasn't on so went to Cargin to their game with Portglenone. Decent game to be fair, Cargin bossed the second half, comfortable win for them. Portglenone missing young Delargey who plays county. A few Cargin supporters beside me telling the amount of injuries Cargin have had and the players that were absent last night. If they don't clear up in the next four weeks hard to see how they will bt anyone in the championship, probably facing Lamh Dhearg. The ref let Portglenone off with some amount of fouling, lets just say the Cargin support were cheesed off with his lack of action. 

Think lotta teams glad to get across the line at the split..

Five games allocated in a two week period has taken its toll at Cargin.

Ten regulars unavailable (injured) for last night's game..

Players welfare 

Must say, it was poor form from the fixtures committee.

I see Glenravel took their defeat to Ardoyne well last night 

[Telling a lad on the bus down he isn't starting and then putting him on and taking him off isn't really decent man management is it?]

I think one thing we can all agree on is that we are totally scunnered with the lack of success over the last few years. Now that can be laid at the door of the old guard and they can be blamed, Saffron Vision maybe changed it.

Telling a lad on the bus down he isn't starting and then putting him on and taking him off isn't really decent man management is it?

What's wrong with it, he was informed he wasn't starting. He came on and the manager thought he wasn't performing or he was injured and he was replaced. Seriously wtf is wrong with it

The Saffron Gael team deserve great credit for the effort they are putting in to promote the games online. St Enda's seems to be improved and are being fairly competitive.

Also best wishes to the Gaels of Portglenone for the official opening of their new pitch this weekend. Fantastic achievement.
