The Gallagher Bro.s (Fermanagh)

Shane King (Fermanagh)

All of the above have now become gaelic Footballers since parting the Fermanagh GAA scene!

It's the Gallagher 'cousins', get your facts right!!


Also sammymaguire, as a fellow Fermanagh man the loss of the likes of Shane King and the Gallaghers from playing club football in this county is harmful. It would be a better league if the likes of them were playing in it.

Also Shane King played a big part in knocking Fermanagh out of the Ulster championship in 2003 when he came on as Down sub to play a big role in their semi-final win that day, so his transfer away came back to haunt Fermanagh.

Whats the story with the club scene now. What clubs have qualified for the knock out stages of the Summer League? are clubs still training away, challenge matches etc?

I left Clones with no doubt in my mind that Ciaran McElroy was man of the match, although watching back on tv I must say my opinion changed, but he must have done something right!

O'Rourke must have agreed with the Irish News too, thats why he took him off!

I think McElroy was injured taking a shot towards the end and was down for a good wile getting treatment. I presume that caused O'Rourke to take him off.

McCluskey is playing very well at centre half back, would be difficult to take him out of there. It could unsettle the whole team. The corner backs Goan and Sherry have been playing well this season and deserve their places.

Tempo v Kinawley match on Sunday was 13 aside

Could the teams not field 15? who won that game, any good?

I thought Enniskillen would have a good junior team, even good enough to compete with most teams in the Summer competition?

We're at it again!!!

The answer, sadly, is Win Ulster.

Ah, c'mon now... no need for that!!!

as already seen by the number of teams dropping out

Who all has pulled out?

How is everyone treating the Summer League? Any word of any clubs pulling out?

Saw a couple of results so far, Newtownbutler putting up some big scores while Enniskillen have lost both their games including a hammering yesterday to I think Ederney!! What is going on there?

We can play football and we can sing...

Is there anything we can't do!!!!

Yes the Impartial's website is of excellent quality and very easy to navigate. The Herald's is a bit all over the place and can sometimes be hard to find what you are looking for. You can subscribe to look at the full edition online, which would be good for people not at home, does anyone do this? Don't think the Fermanagh News has a website, maybe it does, I just have never seen it.

Do you think another paper could survive in the county? Perhaps a Tuesday paper could do well if people were prepared to buy it if it was of good quality. I'm sure the Herald wouldn't be happy if a Tuesday paper nipped in and stole their early week glory with reports of matches from the previous weekend etc! The Impartial doesn't seem to be affected by the Herald being out the day before and produces some good sports stories, although you could say they have a day extra to get them. The Fermanagh News does have match reports from the previous weekend but they also do previews of the club games at the weekend which the others sometimes don't and which makes them slightly different.

Added a new poll at the top regarding the new Summer League. The poll on who you would rather face in Ulster Final finished with Armagh 4 votes and Down 5 votes. Majority lost! By the way is there only a total of 9 Fermanagh people on the board?

Have to agree, both papers give a lot of coverage to the GAA. They both realise there is a big GAA readership so it is vital for them to cover it well.

I would also buy the Fermanagh News on a Friday. It covers plenty of the GAA as well. Do many of you buy it? It gets plenty of criticism from people about the amount of photographs in it though!

Just added a poll at the top of the page.

Who would you rather face in the final.

Ive gone with Armagh. We have faced them a fair few times over recent years and although '04 was the only time we beat them we have came very close in others.

Gallagher to play the blues?

Former Fermanagh footballer Rory Gallagher looks set for a shock switch to neighbours Cavan, reports suggest.

It is understood that the ace attacker has agreed to train with the Breffni side ahead of the commencement of this year's McKenna Cup campaign after the now Cavan-based Ernesider had talks with new Cavan boss Donal Keoghan.

The highly-rated 28 year old is currently living and working in Cavan and his recruitment to the Cavan cause would be a huge coup for new manager Keoghan

Taken from the Hogan Stand.


If this was to happen it would be an excellent coup for Cavan. Gallagher is an excellent footballer but is unable to get into the Fermanagh setup, which is totally bewildering.

He is an excellent man to have on the '40' and can pick out players with passes that nobody else could imagine possible. Would certainly be a loss to Fermanagh should he go.

A thread for all you Fermanagh people out there.
