Really hate to see amalgamations in a competition like this. Hope St Paul's do the right thing and don't allow amalgamated winners entry in the future.

More soar losers. Take your bearing like a man and stop crying.

Population co down, 530,000. Assumed half are unionist = 265,000. 48 clubs in Down so 5500 per each club.

Population Cavan 73,000. 39 clubs so 1870 per club.

Clearly Down have can unfair advantage on Cavan and should be kicked out of all these tournaments as their clubs are on average  4 times larger than their Cavan equivalent.

40 Clubs Itchy,so your maths are wrong 
2 small country clubs, with barely a decent pick between them(with half of Gowna's parish playing in Longford) and they have an unfair advantage.
I hope you all whingers(especially the Belfast one) enjoyed this result.

And Roscommon will still beat Cavan when it matters too. Merry Christmas, Itchy!

At least there's no Dublin there,so you won't have to worry about  embarrassing yourselves again.
I think Paul Mannion just put over another score while i was typing this.

[p**ck Molloy]

Massive achievement  for Joe McQuillan. A senior championship title with Gaels to add to his All Ireland for Dublin.

.        A serious forum?? With comments like that? Who the hell do you think you are to tell me where to go?

You come out with the The "p**ck Molloy",and you're talking about Mr deeds comment.
None of us believe for one second you're a Gaels clubman either.

[the ball has passed completely over anyboundary line]

So some posters hold the belief that  If "any of the ball" crosses the goal-line,then it's a goal??? 

Not 'any' per sé, but let's say 80%...Is it a goal then?

Not for me, no, the goal-line should surely be the same as any other part of the boundary line. The ball has to be fully over it.

1.1 The ball is in play once it has been thrown in
or kicked after the referee has given a signal to
start or restart play, and it remains in play until:
(a) the referee signals a stop;
(b) the ball has passed completely over any
boundary line or strikes any flag marking
the boundary lines;

Would that as taken from cornerback's post not cover it?

So some posters hold the belief that  If "any of the ball" crosses the goal-line,then it's a goal??? 

[yet that wording is not used in the official guide]

It is slightly parochial but I'm a neutral and it's fairly contentious. People are saying "The whole ball isn't over the line" yet that wording is not used in the official guide.

Personally it makes no odds to me who won the match but the issue has fairly divided Derry and I thought it would be interesting to see what others thought of the incident. The Poll is a pretty resounding yes vote so far . . .

Surely it's common sense, even if its not in the rule book.

The ball is not fully over the line in any those pictures.

Yep no complaints, we were well beaten. Alan Clarke didn't play against Ballinagh, is he injured???
I'd have said at the beginning the Stars with their whole complement could be good enough to beat the Gaels,but with Joe Dillon also out and Clarke doubtful,i just don't see anything other than a Gaels win.

F**k

Hey AZ,

Don't have time for any fantasy leagues in any sport this year so the Rams will be withdrawing.

I blame lack of funding from Central Council.

You could have called down to Straffan and asked Seanie to run it for you Dinny.

Honestly, Don't Matter, you've made your point on this thread multiple times and almost the entirety of us including the Dubs agree that the funding inequality in Games Development has to be dealt with.
There is no need to constantly attack Dublin and their achievements over the last 10-12 years just to try get a rise from them.

There is no doubt that Dublin gets far too much in way of Games Development funds compared to the rest of the counties
Dublin 1,509,631
Antrim 76,842
Cork 95,737
Galway 68,941
There has to be equality brought to the distribution of money.
Cavan got 44,645 last year which is a joke in the scheme of things.
Splitting Dublin is ridiculous and has nothing to do with the distribution of funds,Give other counties the necessary funds to allow themselves to try and reach the levels/standards that the Dubs are setting.

8/12,Not easy.

I  mean in years to come, not now. There's no reason London shouldn't set it's sights on fielding a proper London team and not a team of lads over for a few years.

I was thinking that was what you meant.
