Good god some off them men are still playing for Errigal thirds as far as I know.
Between the years of 1993 and 2001 only Ardboe came between Errigal and Carrickmore in 1998. They won 4 titles each contesting no fewer than 4 finals. Errigal had a lot of baron Ulster Club years as well when you actually look at it and actually represented Tyrone in 2005 as the championship wasn't finished. It is known that part of Carrickmores failure to do well in Ulster is the pressure on the players to emulate what Errigal Ciaran have done. We are a terribly jealous bunch up on the hills
The year of 2004 in which Carrickmore got to the semi final and should have beaten Mayobridge was some experience for a supporter. Getting to Brewster Park, then Omagh, Casement for a replay and Casement for the semi final in successive weeks was a unique experience and I always am delighted to see Tyrone clubs from junior to Senior do well in it for their communities. I recall Greencastle winning the All Ireland being a good night Carmen!!
Clonoe have the age profile to give it a good rattle again would need a kinder draw than the Derry champions in Celtic Park. In my eyes that's the worst draw they could have got all things considering.

That was a very good Carickmore team, beat us handy at Casement (two good games in fairness) and as you said should have beaten Mayobridge, the Down teams always do well but fall short against Cross, most teams do ffs

Serious question:

Did Busby write a book slagging off his former Captain and other players?

No, next question

EC Unique- a task for you.
Can you find out the team and scorers from Errigal's 1993 Ulster Final win against Downpatrick?

I will take a guess at the team out of my head. No idea of scorers.

                Cahal Mc Anenely

Seamus Mallon        Mickey McGirr       Colm McCann
Tiffy Quinn          Ciaran McCrory         Eamon Kavanagh

          Pascal Canavan         Hugh Quinn

Stevie Canavan    Eamon McCaffery   Martin (Haddan) McCaffery
Eoin Gormley      Peter Canavan           Leo Quinn

Is that the same Tiffy with us at the minute?

Anyone ever tried Shu on the Lisburn road? Going to give it a go next Friday.

Been a while but the food was great, has the oddest bar/night club downstairs last time I was there, different

Yes Sean sent off for striking and Seamus apparently called the ref a clown when Sean seen red. I heard the Devinish player involved in Seans sending off sent an email to be read out at Seans appeal backing him. That would have helped his case alot I would imagine.

Or the fact that Fermanaghs representatives in Ulster would be fcuked had these two players not been available?? Just a theory

RIP lad, great hurler

Liverpool's best start to a league season in about 25 years and some so called fans are more interested in a retired Manchester United manager and his book. Speaks volumes.

So the only topic Liverpool fans can comment on is Liverpool?

And here me was thinking it was a discussion forum!

It's just hard to take their comments seriously when they have not even read the book. I will be buying the book, read it and then judge it. I doubt if many of the usual suspects will do that.

The stuff that I've read from the book is a disgrace. Ferguson's achievements with United are legend but he is not without fault and frankly his carry on since his announcement if his retirement has disappointed me. If you didn't know better you'd think he was hoping things went to pot after he left.

Have you the full book or just what the papers are giving out?

What difference does that make? Seriously?

I saw his interview with Jon Snow which was cringeworthy too. Does that help? Am I allowed to form an opinion now?

Sure makes no difference at all, why don't you just read the last page in the books and there will be no reason to read any pages beforehand!! At what point have I said you should not have an opinion?

Because its not a novel, it doesn't have a start middle and end. You can pick bits and pieces out if it cause they are stand alone, ie there's a paragraph about rock of Gibraltar. It has no relation on the rest of the book.

Ok by that logic I never read Carraghers book, just those bits and pieces of being a thug and wanting players done in when they were walking through the shopping centre.....

I have no axe to grind here btw, politics is for other people to worry about I don't vote and didn't send in my letter for voting last month

This is a rather irresponsible approach for a person concerned about the next generation.

I'm concerned with mortages, bills, work, rates, education, my kids my parents and rest of the family. If you want to fight the fight go ahead.

That's all politics.

It's political issues in normal countries, when they try to get the working man a better way of life instead of talking about marching and bringing up the past I might be interested, if thats you're type of politics then you're sorted

Rooney on the end of everything at the minute, a bit of criticism seems to have worked, Alex is a crafty old fox

And there in lies the nub.  People point to nationalist/32 county references in GAA rules but to me the primary aim is to promote the games.

And there in lies the nub. It's not about what you regard the primary aims to be. The "nationalist/32 county references in GAA rules" are just that: in the GAA rules.

I would fear that sticking pictures of RA men on the back of medals could get in the way promoting the games.

How many tournaments have medals with a picture of "RA men" on them? I can think of only one, (the Vol. Martin McCaughey one) but it isn't an official GAA tournament.

They have changed a lot of rules lately, letting players play rugby and soccer, soccer and rugby play in certain grounds and police teams in the Gaa, these rules aren't set in stone, with it being a democracy these things can come up for debate and changed

[before 83 Sinn Fein couldn't by a vote]

What did it say on the ballot, milltown?

Tick here if you despise the RA and your vote goes to the SDLP too btw __

Can you read? I said before 83 Sinn Fein couldn't by a vote. Explain your last part in relation to me?

Before 1983, SF barely looked for a vote. It was a political party by name only. They weren't even legalised until the mid '70's. Realistically it was merely a group of community activists/protesters.

I know that's what I said, but they were a party formed in 1970. I'm not sure if they tried local elections first before trying to go mainstream. My neighbour Danny said at the time "Who here really believes we can win the war through the ballot box? But will anyone here object if, with a ballot paper in this hand and an Armalite in the other, we take power in Ireland?" that was in 81

Since they took the armalite out they have went into power sharing with the DUP

I am asking you if they clarified on the ballot paper that ticking the box for an SDLP vote was also a declaration of hatred towards the IRA.

No (though in 83 i was only 11), it didn't but if on the ballot it had Sinn Fein on it they would have ticked it instead I would have imagined. Politics here is very annoying

Sinn Fein didn't stand in any elections before 83

Owen Carron was an MP form 81 to 83 was he an independent at the time? maybe he was. Politics in northern ireland is shite

Didn't stand on a Sin Fein ticket,but if you think he did he got 30,000 votes so kind of disproves your argument.

I didn't try and disprove it, he stood on the back of Bobby Sands and got that vote then it changed I already said that. But based on the political votes at the time people voted differently, I have no axe to grind here btw, politics is for other people to worry about I don't vote and didn't send in my letter for voting last month

But when he did go on the Sinn Fein ticket he lost out to Maginnis in 83
