What other clubs are missing?

Maghery, Mullaghabawn, Crossmaglen, Dromintee, Granemore, Clann Eireann, St Peters, Wolfe Tones. I stopped after that amount and i'm sure there are loads more

As already stated, its obvious why Cross players are missing.  There are some players from Dromintee certainly worth a trial.  The reasons for the others clubs being excluded could be either they have no players worthy of a trial or that they have players who are automatically on the panel and don't need to attend a trial? I can't see how a full trial could be made up of the teams mentioned above?

Pints is that only half of the players for trials as i notice a number of clubs missing from that list

The Cross players would be missing for obvious reasons. But I do notice that no Dromintee players are included in this trial list? Is there a second trial of some sort?

Too much pot?

I'm sure it would have been tempting to sell it on and say nothing.

Unreal indeed.  Really does put everything into perspective to think that a whole family could be wiped out in one go.

Pints, you seem to have this opinion that certain teams, such as your own, are better off in Division 2.  Surely Division 1 football brings the team to the next level and improves individual players.

At a certain stage yes high catch but the team have to be ready for the next level.
If a team is rebuilding and bringing in a lot of very young players - like the bridge have - they need some time to gel together, get a system of play going, get the confidence up etc - being beat every week in division 1 will not help that.

Fair enough.
Will you be 100% behind the Bridge's push for promotion next year or would you rather they stay in Division 2 for another year or two?

Just noticed this topic from last year....


Donagh your niece wasn't writing a book was she???

Very good

Seen the socalled fight tonight on TV. Looked nothing more than handbags stuff. fair play to cross. They are in an Ulster semi again. Mayobridge or dromore will certainly put it up to them. Linden might look for revenge on Bellew after the tackle few years ago.

You have stolen my username you fool.

His surname is Reilly from Meath - heard it on news this morning. Very sad indeed. May he rest in peace.

i see silverbridge are back in training for next year already. they must have qualifed for the champions league judging by the games they're playing.

Who are they playing? Bit early for that carry on?

As I have said before, he was sent home because he done wrong.  I think the general opinion is that on one hand Keane was right that the facilities were shambles and simply not good enough.  On the other hand, most people aslo believe that he went about his business in totally the wrong manner. 

And Mick McCarthy did not help the situation. A better manager would have dealt with this situation much better. I think the fact that the pair already had a very strained relationship played a big part in the whole mess.

Magpie, people are entitled to an opinion.

Its simply amazing how many people are still going round like retards misrepresenting the facts of what happened in Saipan. Amazing. If people cannot argue using the facts then it tells you about their argument.

Roy Keane's "crime" is to stand over the belief that Irish people are as good as and deserve the same as everyone else. Sadly, a lot of Irish people still do not truly believe that. You only have to look at the list of candidates for "the next joke" as Dunphy says.

And you know all the facts?
Wise up.

He may have said he was going home then changed his mind, but the bottom line is he was sent home

Maybe so. But he should have waited till after the World Cup and then let rip and had it out with whoever he wanted.  He did Ireland no good at all at that World Cup.  Remember there were 23 others professional footballers in the Ireland Squad.  Maybe Keane wanted the best but he went about it the wrong way.
