  Is that the end of the Div 3 chat?
Please!

Your free to talk about any other down leagues, or indeed anything else down football/hurling related, dont let us stop you .

Thank-you for your kindness.

  Prediction--there'll be at least 6 changes come the Donegal match from the team that started against Wicklow.

Yes to all of the above.

Will Antrim be with 3 McGourtys?

Hopefully not.It's all about them.

Did Saval give Kilcoo a guard of honour last night for being county champions?

The point did on saturday

Fair play to the point for the guard off honour. It was a nice gesture. Kilcoo where onto the field first against Saval on Tuesday. Would love to see The Town giving us one on Sat. 

Most teams would give a guard of honour for the first game after the final  but bloody hell
do you expect a guard of honour every game you play until next years final?!

    Mr Nice guy!   Not.

  They must have little to talk about at Meath County Board meetings.

[Your great hope Benny Coulter would not get a place in the Armagh full forward line.]

You dead right they are, sure big Grimley was there too. That reallly was the start of the trend that now is : Armagh men getting involved with superior footballing counties!

I can just imagine the poor Armagh souls are thinking now

Come on Cavan, sorry I mean Up Kildare, no wait a minute its Monaghan, no actually come on Galway, Oh woops its actually Armagh. Come on Armagh 4 more All Irelands and we'll match the mighy Cavan and those hoors from Down, lead us Paddy show us how Down done it.

Down dont really register with us Armachians - we are too busy on our northern border. Down are a laughing stock of a team and wont be winning anything soon. Your great hope Benny Coulter would not get a place in the Armagh full forward line.
I hope we meet next summer.
Until then.

I would'nt be so sure Haveaharp, Paddy O'Rourkes now your manager there will always be a place for Benny in Paddy's heart being a true Down man. Speaking of which Paddy having won All Irelands with Down at minor, under 21, senior, and club, he's used to nothing but sucess but now he's changed his allegience to Armagh.

Its a bit like swapping your:

- Ferrari for a Fiat Uno,
- Cheryl cole for Joe Cole, (in terms of lovers)
- An Armani suit for a Dunnes one. (Armani's a famous clothes designer for those on the northern border and I'm hoping u know what Dunnes is)
- Martin Clarke for Ronan Clarke

I'm sure you get the picture,

Like you said I'll see you next summer then as I take it as true Armagh gael you won't be going to see me when Down play Armagh early next year in the league?

Very good.

Down v Armagh Ulster Prelim @ the Marshes.

Would you not prefer to meet in the final? (Assuming Down can get past Cavan and Antrim)

  Beating them anytime would do!

A match made in heaven.

Or in the funny farm.

Some County Boards are keen to splash the cash, Down mustn't be!

Maybe Ross and DJ are the best option for them

   Have you not been following the Ross Carr saga? He was stood down after his three year stint
and after asking for another year it was turned down by a 4 to 1 majority

Stupid me.

It's hardly McGrath, McCartan or Tally then

  Frank Dawson then?

what thefuck has marty clarke got to do with finding a new manager?

Something along the lines of the fact that he would be an asset for the incoming Manager,
maybe helping his brother John back into the squad, improve Down as a team.etc,etc
Do you need any more explanation?

 Jeepers I still can't read it but I'll take your word for it.It's yellow.

[Tullylish then moved to Banbridge to cut down on his travelling]

Bill Geoghegan is from Lurgan direction,he took st Paul's Bessbrook, then Drumgath An riocht, there maybe someone else there

Bill is originally from gilford and played most of his football at Tullylish then moved to Banbridge to cut down on his travelling. A very handy footballer in his day, does he still have the tan? Was he at Drumgath when they won the intermediate championship?

In fairness it's hard to blame any of these lads, if there was no market for them they wouldn't be there. The further down the leagues you go the less willing or able the clubs are to develope their own senior coaches from within.

   Are you serious?

Aye deadly. That journey can take upwards of an hour.


on foot with a feed of pints in ye

An hour from Banbridge to Tullylish?

"Bill Geoghan at Drumaness"

how many clubs this man managed ?? Does he not live in armagh somewhere??

i know one player and he told me that the whole senior team was going to the agm as they were very unhappy with the removal of the last  manager.

with regards to the league: reserve teams, provided they are distinct from the senior team, should be allowed to progress up the league tables if they are good enough. if there are 18 or so footballers from mayobridge who are better than another 18 players from a div 3 club why should the mayobridge 18 be penalised for coming from a strong club (and so not being able to make the first team) while the div 3 team can progress up the tables and play football at a higher level.

Was the last Manager in Drumaness not a Bill Geoghan type also in that he's had more Clubs than Jack Nicholas also?
