Yes you are right, I take that point.

Interesting that quotes from Mickey Harte about the new S&C appointment say that essentially he is answerable to the medical team...which is headed up by.......Michael Harte.

Maybe reduce the prices at the gate?

So a student socialising 3 nights a week is spending £120-180 a week to fund a recreational drug habit. Christ.

A gram of coke means nothing to me. How long would that last an average, social, user?

The problems with alcohol are well known, the issue with drug use is much less known and this topic is trying to raise some awareness. I don't think it needs to be turned into a comparison with drink, there are topics discussing alcohol and the effects of it.

As I said, I was totally naïve to the increasing usage among young people in my local area and how accessible it is. It shocked me. The more the use of recreational drugs is normalised, the bigger the issue is going to get.

I have to say, I was totally naïve to the drug problems in our local area until recently. I live in a fairly rural area and the ease which people can access cocaine in particular is frightening. What's more frightening is the attitude towards it, it seems to be nearly accepted as normal recreational behaviour. As a club we have tried to increase awareness of the long term effects of addiction and drug use but I am afraid that is not enough, this problem is only going to get bigger.

Hearing that Frank's appeal was unsuccessful last night.

Expected with a galbally man on the panel.

What was he sent off for?

Going to put an early prediction for Tyrone Intermediate winners to coast through Ulster at a snails pace. Galbally and Pomeroy both very strong from what i can hear, with Galbally especially racking up huge scores so far. Cant see any major opposition coming from my own county especially

Kinawley are Fermanagh intermediate champions and have a decent side.

You mentioned player welfare but I doubt very much at that moment in time that had anything to do with his decision. I suspect is was more a decision based on 'Christ this is no way for either team to lose, it is cruel' so lets wrap it up!

Gallsman/Bannside - if the game was being played on Sunday at 3pm and had the same outcome, would he have stopped the shoot out or let it go on?

I don't buy that Spike, there are either rules or not. I do not favour any form of free kick or penalty shootout but if that was the rules then so be it. What would be the outcry today if another team had lost a free kick shootout in an earlier round?

Morally the decision was a good one but that does not get away from the fact that rules were just created ad hoc last night and that has to be questioned.

Surely clubs were advised of the championship regulations in advance of this years competition? A quick glance at a couple of other county websites shows that they have theirs available to view, Antrim's most recent version is from 2017.

Next management team, m o rourke, Peter canavan, Peter donnelly, and maybe Mc menimen or paddy tally.

LOL
