Agree Corn but its bit of a conscience that the majority of bother with referees centres around this referee

I heard the lissumon game was abandoned due to a player pushing the referee after getting sent off, but I'm not sure if its fact.

If this did happen I would not be surprised looking at the referee that was down for this, how this excuse of a referee is allowed to take charge of games is beyond me - same scenario happened in an underage Div 2 game earlier this year which resulted him reporting team officials and them receiving a total of 54 weeks - and thats just 2 officials
Same person sent of more people last year than every other South Board referee in total. A stat that speaks for itself alone. Be interested to hear more about this from someone at game.

Benny has scored 13 ulster championship goals?

I wonder what odds Benny got to become top goal scorer this year?

[McKeever]

Team I would like to see if AOR is fit.

McKinney

Enda Bellew Mallon
McKeever AOR Kernan
McGrane Toner
O'Rourke Vernon McKeever
McDonnell Clarke Mallon.


How strong would our bench be?

Hearty, Moriarty, Shannon, Donaghy, O'Neill, Swift, TK, McKeever.

IS there 3 McKeevers on panel?

Probaly are better than that but no player(s) from any team club or county are bigger than the team

[Can't see how division 3 football would do dromintee the world of good though.]

Heard quite a bit of the oul rumours myself (some more outlandish tha others!) but didn't hear that.
Can't see how division 3 football would do dromintee the world of good though.

You mean without 3 good players Dromintee will end up in Division 3??

On the rumour mill thing, i didnt thing a Chairman of a well respected club would resort to starting and stirring a load of rubbish on a issue which is dead and gone. Maybe this is because he didnt want to go to Camlough and play a lower division football or maybe not but it's a sad time all the same when it is brought up again and again and again... Do chairmen not have better things to be at than this?

[he has no control over when club teams play - thats the county board.]

This Stinks to the high Heavens and cannot be allowed to go unpunished! The county board are too soft with Cross and constantly allow them to be made a mockery off. If I was in the position I would have said to Cross, take your county players back but you wont need them for anything cause your out of the league and championship. ONLY THEN WILL YOU SEE THEM WISE UP. Its an absolute disgrace and I hope some of the county board read this thread cause heres a personal message to yous all - you should hold your heads in shame and disgrace!

Dam right - sick of them dirty cross scum dictating things- at least we all know that McDonnell is now not only a bin lid but also a 100 5 yes man- if Grimlley was the manager this would not have happened- throw them cross tramps out of the league and championship is rite

Not sure what this has to do with McDonnell, he has no control over when club teams play - thats the county board.   It wont make any difference to him whether they play on Sat or Sunday Evening, so I doubt if he cares.

Are they both not the same, or as things changed under the new regime where the manager doesn't dictate what happens with clubs and players etc

Hearty   Did not have much to do - inaccurate kick outs are a problem, yes it is good to get ball out that distance but with his kicks they are 50/50 balls every time
Moriarty  Fault for goal, was ok apart from that though Andy when fit(any word when that will be) will have no trouble getting place back
Donaghy  Solid, great catch second half, can't see anyone taking his place come championship
P Kernan   Awful, how come he was taken off every scoring forward, and not taking off the field, should not be on squad
A Kernan  Good performance against good opposition
AOR  Very good, his confidence, coolness and ability while on the ball is one reason he shouldnt be dropped, along with MOR two of this years stars so far
McKeever   Very good, though Vaughan didn't want to know, spent more time running away from him than he spent looking for the ball.  Great to see him running out of defence with ball with such confidence
McGrane  Just ok
Vernon  Apart from great goal he did noting, gave away ball every time and almost certain he was about to be taken off start second half before he got goal
S Kernan   Good improvement while attacking but still lacking ability to track back and actually defend/tackle
Paddy   A good performance from a big game player, though his shooting at times was wayward i.e. Clarkes goal was a poor attempt on target from him but lucky Clarke rescued it
MOR   Awesome
Stevie   Good to see old stevie back
Clarke   If he manages to score 1.3 and still not fully right, cant wait to see him fully fit
T Kernan   Awesome point he scored.  Offers little from play, still lacking experience hope more experience leads to more work from open play


FAO AFS

P Kernan - Didn't put a foot wrong. Will start again the next day and another assured performance will put him in the frame for a championship spot.

Where you at the game AFS?

Vernon defintely starting.

Instead of who?

Toner
One of the Dublin full forward line is going to get it handy today with the other switch, JK will be happy/Good to see he hasnt left us for good 

Maghery v Pearse Og             Maghery
Dromintee v Mullaghbawn       Dromintee
Killeavey v Harps                    Harps 
Crossmaglen v Culloville           Cross
St Patrick's v Clan Na Gael       Cullyhanna

Did i read correctly in yesterdays paper that the GAA are going to punish county boards who cannot host a game to poor ground & facilities, in the wake of the recent cancellation of number of national league games

Maybe this will push Armagh and another few county boards who have no proper county ground into sorting out their problems
Also what punishment is there for a referee who turns up to wrong pitch, and also the one who costs teams valuable points/wins

Exactly the way it should be done, or even people at turnstiles issuing a coloured ticket/stub to all who pay, then when refund is needed you produce ticket to get refund, no ticket no refund and have 1 colour for full pay & one for concession prices.  This also a way making sure correct money is there as if tickets were numbered the amount of tickets gone should tell how much money was brought in.

Did someone not tell ref it was in Crossmaglen not Clones, a good source tells me he was in clones before he went to Cross. 

Wednesday week in Cross re-fixture is
And pints yes they should have refixed for Carrickcruppen early in day
