BTW I am not saying it is right or wrong to charge but I can see in a couple of years that there is going to be a major conflict due to playing pitches in clubs. Clubs cannot cope with the teams they have at the minute and each club has mothers and others, lads and dads etc etc

I can see some clubs trying too much and keeping everyone happy but stretching the club.

Fair lay to Armagh LGFA for developing a pitch in south Armagh as their base. Where there be a permanent pitch is Down that could be used for LGFA or camogie matches.

Clubs can cope, plenty are making headway in acquiring 2nd pitches as well - plus they just don't have their underage teams training twice a week like you suggested on another thread

I still stand over that you need to be training twice a week at underage with a match included.

Define underage!

The Down CCC do a good job in speading the fixtures throughout the week.Ladies&Camogie Boards generally work around this.

Have the camogie board and lgfa board been involved in negotiatans  for Ballykinlar, will they be contributing or would they need to?

Think it's a Garvaghey type of situation.. Only I hope our County Board don't charge the Camogie/LGFA to use it, should be a place for all Down teams whether under the GAA license or not. Also hopefully by that point the LGFA and Camogie come too their senses and merge into the GAA

The camogie assoication and LGFA get charged for used of Pairc Esler.

Proper order.

At CPN v Rostrevor last night after a few verbals between both sets of 'management' the referee put EVERYONE INCLUDING SUBS outside the pitch fence apart from manager, their no 2 and physio of each team - a total of 6 allowed on sideline. Subs were standing with supporters 🤔 Is he allowed to do that ? I don't know but would be interested to hear opinion

I make him right and he's done it before.

There's a thoroughly unnecessary pitch side posse with every senior team, including our own.

If each of our Clubs enforce it then it would become the norm.But that could easier said than done.

Don't know if it's allowed or not but it would lessen the chances of rows.

Thought the ref had a good game. Wasn't whistle happy and took no nonsense from the side line.

Are we supposed to know what game you're referring to?

Should the GAA not be closed from Holy Thursday to Easter Sunday?

: 

underage club yes, rest no.

Tradition in Derry for years was to play hurling féile Easter Sunday morning, if anyone knows Derry city you will know our obsession with caravans and Donegal. We always had at least 5 lads out Easter Sunday, country teams didnt seen to take Easter hols. Bit much asking seniors even to be rocking boat at home for a game if you have young wains. I always refused to play Easter Sunday because of the family(and i was afraid of the mrs)

Are you still afraid of her? 

this is class 

Class?No other County has the word gossip in it's main thread title but our Mod is worried about liability.🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️
  Is one of our or more of the alleged drinkers at the weekend going to sue because someone on here
said they were drinking beer when in fact they were drinking Cider???Jesus wept!

First with the news then?  Odd how these stories are nowhere else though...not that I can see anyway, but I'm not looking too hard. 

Poster 'the wobbler' says let it be and we can put up with what some other poster called the U12 posters on here, which might be a good start.  What do you think needs to be done, if anything?

Or, as johnnycool says, there is nothing to see here.

"Yes Mod-"First with the news" Irish News runs the story today.

As long as it's not personal & no individual is named or singled out for abuse then let a bit of rumour & speculation go.

There was a poster a while ago who directed abuse at certain people & that's not acceptable but most lads (& maybe ladies) look at this to hear what's going on around the scene.

Lot of nonsense at times but mostly it's harmless.

Agree.

I've a cynical and impatient disposition and to be honest this stuff doesn't bother me at all. Would rather it went away but here if we have to put up with it to hear what's going on around the county, well then keep visiting takeaways lads.

You might be correct on this path...leaving any liability issues aside.  Just change the thread title to include unfounded rumours and opinions of eejits.

Only Lecale2 can change the Thread title I think.

Better be true or else GAABoardMod5 is going to have a feckin field day

That this Down thread will be deleted permanently is high on the list of possibilities...

Unless you are James McCartan or Aidan O'Rourke,who are probably the only ones that know what exactly happened at the weekend,are we not allowed to discuss rumours?

  It'll all blow over.
