Orangeman in response to your question, you are spot on, De La Salle did loose the game by 3 points, are you yourself part of the vocational schools committee by any chance?This is an absolute joke to appoint a referee from the same county as one of the participating teams.

I find it very hard to believe that the referee in charge of Wednesday's U16 all-ireland schools football semi-final between the Down champions De la salle & Meath champions Dunshaughlin, was in fact from county Meath.
Have the vocational schools committee lost the plot here or can anyone on this forum offer an explanation as to why this might have happened

The first round games are to be *starred games* now and if the Under 21's win the AI Semi is the following weekend causing more problems

Not sure where 'spirit' is getting his information from on this one, the first round of club league games is not in the book to be a *starred* game so i am not sure if this can now be the case.

Get lost 'the claw', the forum says 'GAA discussion' & i thought this deserved its place under that banner as the man was one of the greats of the game of hurling & GAA as well, therefore i feel that the entire GAA board should have the oppurtunity to read about his retirement, now go away & try to find fault with some other thread!

Clare hurling legend Davy Fitzgerald has decided to end his distinguished inter-county career,possibly the best hurling goalkeeper of his generation, certainly the best that i have ever seen, thanks for the memories Davy.

To let "thewobbler" know i am not having a go at the County Board, but at whoever it was(contractor/consultant?)  said that the underground tank & pumping system would remove the water from the playing surface to leave it playable in all kinds of weather, i think we can see now that this is not the case & may have been a little ambitious.

I think the contractor who laid the new pitch has some questions to answer about the Pairc Esler pitch, i may be wrong but it was my understanding that this pitch would be capable of having three games a week played irrespective of what the weather conditions were.

I get a taste of sour grapes from Tyrone, to play bad & still win says a lot about a team who can grind out a result when they need to,by the way Paul McComiskey scored 6 points tonight i think & set up a couple of others as well & each time he got possesion he looked dangerous so i would say he fully deserved his accolade tonight.An Dun Abu.

Glasdrumman were beating Saul by 12 points when i left,look like they will be hard to stop this year under the watchful eye of Hugh Trainor.

Even though he had a major part to play in Down losing the 2003 Ulster Final(The Gregory McCartan incident), it is still good to see him overcome these injuries & getting back onto the playing field.

U21 game is being played tuesday 4th march in pairc esler i think.

Just in case BRIDGELAD is'nt aware, this is'nt the "mayobridge players must come first" forum.               From reading a lot of your comments you appear to be quite blinkered when it comes to recognising that we do have other talent on our senior football panel that deserve to be given a chance at this level, & your assumption that Benny would be the first forward of the bench if we were in trouble against Sligo seemed quite arrogant & proved to be somewhat untrue

According to Sean Rooney, division 3 starts on 9th March & division's 1 & 2 on the 18th April.

I think that the management team need to forget about Michael Walsh being part of the team lining out on 8th June, the whole county has been waiting for close to a decade for him to show off his much talked about talent on the inter-county scene, but time & time again we are left scratching our heads as to what seems to be his latest tale of woe.Now is the time to forget about the primadonna's & concentrate on the squad available & willing to bust their balls, & hopefully they can restore the pride in our county team.

Question for "thewobbler",since when did you become the moderator of this forum?                                                                                    I dont have a problem (& i'm sure other members feel the same) with the advert for the Q&A night, especially given the fact that it is to raise money for the southern area hospice, which does tremendous work in this area.So maybe you should wind your neck in & possibly even support the event which i have no doubt is for a very worthy cause.     PS:Before you ask i dont work for the hospice or for Gaelic life.
