Yesterday, 30 counties were supporting Tyrone and willing them on to win as the underdogs and because the opposition was Dublin.  Against Wexford the situation reverses, Tyrone supporters are already talking about the Tyrone v Kerry AI final and paying no respect to Wexford.

Why only 30? Who is the other county not supporting Tyrone?

Armagh!!

Guevara, you obviously don't have a the patience/intelligence to think a situation out thoroughly before mouthing off, so I'll give you a bit of help.

The Down Championships may start later than those any other county, but they finish on the same weekend as 95% of all other counties i.e. two weeks before the Provincial Club Championship first round. Which happens to be in October. Every year. So when County Championships finish in October, as they do every year, it isn't because the County Board mess up, but is the result of a very deliberate footballing calendar.

Secondly, around half-a-dozen games for neutral venues were postponed today, and the likelihood is that the same number will be postponed tomorrow. Participating clubs have spent the day waiting by the phone, and host clubs have spent the day on the phone to refererees and the Board. If you honestly believe that re-coordinating an entire set of fixtures for neutral grounds - when almost every ground in the country is unplayable - is anything other than an impossible task, then you are an imbecile.



Behind the Wire, I have to point out that the "noon" you refer to was the time when I walked the pitch, and not when the decision was made. Shortly after that, we contacted the county board, who contacted the referee, who travelled and made a decision, then contacted the County Board, who contacted you. Sean Rooney and Sean Broderick were very busy men today.

Couldnt have put it better myself,Wobbler. Obviously a man who has more grasp of the logistics of running the county scene than some of the whinging elements who can only see the problems. The CCC are volunteers like the rest of us at clubs and doing a very difficult job in pressing circumstances. taking cheap shots does nothing to enhance the situation. Fair play to the two Seans for the way they are dealing with this, the biggest championship weekend in Down every year.

Tankie ! Tankie ! Has any one there seen Tankie ??

This is incredibly boring,

After watching The match from Croker I watched 10 miins of this and had to switch over. There is absolutely no comparison between the games. Boring , sterile crap

good to see nither Ballymartin nor Downpatrick get a mention in betting
Just right

anyone know how downpatrick and kilcoo went last night in u-16 championship?

Kilcoo won very handy

I cannot understand why some are so begrudging towards Harrington's achievements. I am not saying that he is the best ever, but his record is superb, but this country has produced so many sporting icons and it is hard to quantify  what it is that makes any one the best as it is so subjective.

Is ther no way of keeping w***ers like this off the thread.

Is there any call for that?

Apologies for any offence caused

Dundrumite asked a few weeks ago was there anything more said about the Warrenpoint player (Ryan Mallon) and the 'assault' at the Belmont in Banbridge that was supposed to have happened, and i'm sure most of you read it in the Irish News or a local paper and maybe even heard his father on the radio given off.
If any of yous have seen the Irish news today, the banbridge chronicle this week or the newry reporter yous will realise that the reason this story died a death in terms of media coverage was because not only was no Clann na Banna player or any one connected with he club involved in the assault but no actual assault took place whatsoever, and was a complete lie.
Think its an absolute disgrace this happened and dragged not only the name of Clann na Banna through the mud but the GAA in general.

Danny mac think that fella played against us the other night. Should make for an interesting first round of championship between the two teams.

Just reading that Derry co Board are going after Conway and Gilligan for bringing the association into disrepute. If there is no foundation to the story above you would imagine there would be an even bigger case for Down to bring a charge against this guy for similarly bringing the association into disrepute. Absolutely scandolous if this is not pursued

All to do with the strong euro v sterling as well as the traditional Co Down welcome. Apparently busloads coming from as far away as Carlow to get thier groceries and off licence supplies.

Hughes, McKernan and James McGovern are also worth of a shout. I know Hughes is not prominent but he does a lot of work. Howard had not as good as game on McDonnell as people think - the amount of ball Stevie won was unreal - but he had a very good first season. Get back Walsh for a start.

What qualifies you to say that Howard did not have as good on Mcdonnell a game as people think. I find that an amazing statement to make.So their opinion does not count!
"Hold the back page. Howard did not have as good a game as you thought because some w***er from armagh said so"

What a tit you are.

So ok let me get what your saying. You say I should not question other peoples opinion but I am not allowedc to have one of my own? Wind your neck in you gobshite.

oops sorry for offending your insensitivities. You did not offer an opinion but made a statement

are we going to be ripped off again for going to watch a club championship game?

What is the issue? the fact that you might have to pay or the price?

Have never had any bother getting family tkt for Clones or Croke. Full price for adult & £5 for kids

Think this ridiculous thread is set up to see hoe many stupid posts this eejit can muster in as short a time as possible.
Absolute load of crap and don't see why even bigger eejits like myself bother replying.
