Yous are starting to make the point for him

There is a crazy amount of talent in Tyrone at the minute, but I get what you are saving Tyrone12345, it might take a few years to get a team together
I'd hope though in the next 3 or 4 years Tyrone would be right at the top challenging for honours again

[No starred games in Cavan?]

No starred games in Cavan?, where there's a means or playing without county players and not losing points?

Another gripe of the club player losing out when the county 'keep' the players for so long, the preference it seems will always be with the 1% club rather than the 99% of games/players

Like I said, there shouldn't be ay argument on teams entering their own championships at whatever level they can, based on their county by/laws

But once you enter the provincial stage you can't be a div 1 team playing in your provinces championships at intermediate level or div 2 at Junior level.

Either you have aspirations of getting better in you county or dropping leagues within your county so that you can perform (should you win your title) in the All Ireland series

You shouldn't be able to do both, complaining that county players are not available isn't a hinderance, at least you have county players, a lot of clubs that enter junior or intermediate haven't any starters or panelists

No idea what that means.

Can't comment on other counties but in Arva's case they finished bottom of Division 1 and should have been relegated in any proper league format. The team that did get relegated had 9 points I think and joint 5th from bottom. So was it a Cavan by/law or GAA protocol caused this anomaly?

Like I said I can't understand what some are trying to fix here. There's plenty needs fixing in GAA, but getting knickers in a twist over formats and over complicating things should not be high on the list, if on it at all.

What's the point in the league then? You are devaluing it ... maybe Arva spotter he loophole.. work the league for a few years. We all know you better better playing better teams... it's no coincidence the all Ireland is won by div 1 teams and senior club championships are won by division 1 teams..

What loophole and how would they work it? I can assure you Arva had their hands full trying to win the Junior the last few years. Nothing else would have been on their minds only that. Some of their better players back to their best from injury, off form etc and some good youngsters coming through created a wave they rode to Croker and fair play to them. Great timing but to even suggest it was by design is crazy. That's more than playing Division 1, that's throwing county finals! Crazy talk.

Just curious do you think your league and champ structures has hampered how your county has performed ? Compared to let's say Tyrone and Monaghan who's leagues and champ align?

No. But the number of clubs we have hold us back which dilutes the overall standard of the club game. Plus a lot of our county plyers are not exposed to senior club football. I'd like to see an additional divisional county championship, like they have in Kerry, where every player in the county is eligible if good enough.

That's mad. I'd argue yous are so poor because there's not actually  meaningful games to play... 5 champ games a year ... you don't care about the league so where does the quality come from?

I think that's how Monaghan produce a decent team and players, because of the structures in the county provide games with jeopardy and meaning!

The fixation of champ in Cavan means no one cares about the league and everyone waits for the co men to come back ...

And Tyrone

[Kerry]

Kerry v Derry
Dublin v Monaghan
Galway v Mayo
Tyrone v Roscommon - draw

Meath v Fermanagh
Kildare v Cavan
Armagh v Louth
Donegal v Cork

Limerick v Antrim
Clare v Sligo
Offaly v Westmeath
Wicklow v Down

Laois v Longford
Tipperary v Carlow
London v Wexford
Waterford v Leitrim

That's one of the worst umpire calls I've seen

Enjoying the commentary
Ger is good as a lead, and is it casey (??) on Co-comms? He's very good too

[i am not a fan of tate but he says]

talking about ice baths i am not a fan of tate but he says all these ice bath guys are jsut trying to comepensate because they wont get into a ring or cage and fight,

You listen to a word that man says?

Could TG4 switch to the behind the goal camera when the play is up there instead of sticking with the foggy one

Good call

Fresh looking squad, really interested to see how they go. Although it will be very tough with Jim naming such a strong Donegal team, both in terms of quality and physicality

The gerry Anderson flicker pix videos are incredible

The Traitors starts on BBC tonight. First season was outstanding. Season 2 will do well to reach the levels of the first series, but well worth a watch

Agree Captain Obvious, most songs these days are awful. Think people make, or cover, a festive tune just to try and cash in

Saying that, I don't mind these two

Kelly Clarkson

Sam Rydar

I don't know if these are actually good or if the competition is just dirge

Shocking to see, but fantastic to hear he is OK as I initially thought the worst after the incident in May

That will have to be the end of his playing career

A question of sport

Hardly surprising. They  really killed it a  couple  of years ago with that  shake up

Paddy mc Guinness was ok (although not in this ) in very small doses , but by Christ he's everywhere now , like that   Jermaine Jenas  Bell end

A disgrace that an institution like that was ruined. They tried to go down the Sky route with something similar to A League of their own. Had watched for decades, literally, but 1 episode of McGuinness and Co was enough for me

It says it may return in the future, and I'm sure it will

EDIT: that cnut also killed Top Gear. Some achievement

Yeah, don't really think this is worthy of the wtf thread
