Watched 'Hunger' last night. I thought is was excellent, not at all what I had expected, very graphic, and at times disturbing, no propaganda or bias just the brutal naked truth that shows what suffering these brave men went through and the reasons why.
Regardless of your own political beliefs or affiliations it is a must see movie.

On a completely different note, can any of our rule experts answer a wee question for me:
Are u-16 players (players who are not eligible to play u-16 football next season) allowed to play for reserves or seniors now that the u-16 season has ended?

Well done St. John's on junior final victory. Disgusting behaviour from the tramps who burnt your place down, and it's good to hear your chairman say you'll build it bigger and better the next time. We in Drumgath will support any fund raising event you have for the cause.

Is it just me, are is anyone else disappointed by how little Ronan Murtagh has to offer in big games? Why is a such a gifted and hard working player so ineffective in important matches? And I doubt if it's anything to do with a lack of confidence!! Where is his best position and when are Down going to get the performance out off him that most people believe is in him??

Where is a good spot to go for a good feed on route (close) to Clones?  Is there anywhere else in Clones that does pub grub apart from the place beside the Paragon, it wasn't that good that last time I ate there. 

A good feed would kill you mallon

stiffbreeze, you are spot on - murtagh has worked his balls off in the last 2 games and picked up a fierce amount of break ball.

i hear that all county players apart from last week's starting 15 were allowed to play club football at the weekend

Agree that Murtagh has worked his balls off but I feel that if Down are to beat Armagh we need to see a bit more class from Murtagh, while his work rate has been excellent, his vision and shot selection have been quite poor. I expect him to improve greatly and Hope he cuts loose, a big game from Murtagh is key to victory.

Wonder what Big Joe was up to when Sidebottom caught him "on the hop".
Could be wrong but sounded like a doughnut or something working its way down his gullet!

Classic.

Well i carried Coulter through underage football, i was the Mc Gilligan while he was doing the scoring, we were telepathic is one of the most successful underage teams ever in our county, So Ross if you reading this, you know where i live!

Where's that then Tommy?   Gormans???

Drumgath beat Castlewellan by 2 goals.

Overheard at a club match recently in Down, a rather vocal and somewhat nasty Ardglass supporter(they are all the same) shouted at the ref who's first name is gabriel,
'who the f**k names their son Gabriel ye poofy bastard ye?'

Did monk cole get a transfer to the bridge?

The Whistledown in Warrenpoint is hard to beat.

Again another very disappointing performance, played at a pedestrian pace in a very subdued atmosphere. I think it is unfair to come on here and criticize lads who are training hard and doing their best. We had enough chances to win the game comfortably yesterday but we missed far too many easy chances and when it came to the crunch Fermanagh were able to get the important scores with ease.
Our style of play (if you could call it that) is the most disappointing aspect, over use/ abuse of the hand pass, unwilling/unable to kick a 30 yard pass, little or no movement in our forward line, half forwards who think they have to toe tap the ball every time they get it, inability to win break ball or hold the ball in the tackle (how many times yesterday did we spill the ball after a heavy tackle). Too many off our lads play like they would in a club match, get the ball and run with it. Management need to get this sorted are Tyrone will seriously embarrass us.
