Has anyone else in recent memory went from Division 1 to division 3 in back to back seasons?

I see adrain sharvin is doing the senior final, I thought he did very well in the kilcoo burren replay

Any word on who's doing the intermediate? Or even Junior for that matter?

Some people are not brought up they are dragged up if some of the sledging and verbals,a certain club think this passes as being competitive.

One club in The East in particular needs to take a look at themselves.

Burren in fairness would not be a club renowned for unsporting behaviour if anything I feel they and their seniors are fantastic role models.
Go on. Be a proper keyboard warrior and just name that club.

Why, do ya not know who it is?

Burren was the 1st place I seen that shite of booting the balls onto the pitch to waste time in a league game a few years ago during the Ward era.

Is it any wonder there are rows in football nowadays when these scumbags tactics are rife..

As for the intermediate games, Darragh must be absolutely sick.. The game should have been over at HT but they kicked wide after wide. Shamrocks hung in there and produced at the right times and looked stronger in the closing stages.

Glenn were very comfortable in the opening 20mins and leading 7-2 at one stage but the johnnies kept chipping away at the scoreboard and brought it level deep into the 2nd half, Glenn got a 2nd wind and finished the stronger with a couple of great points from Brooks and Bagnall to close out the game.

Should be an interesting Final.

I also witnessed the man with the hat take an accidental slap to the chin during the bit of pushing and shoving on the sidelines during the 1st match.. Which started after the booting of the footballs onto the pitch to waste time in the dying embers..

2 tight  semis there in the Inter. Anyone at it?

Yes... I can confirm that there won't be an East Down sweep.

Heres an idea charge kids £2 that are there without an adult and any children accompanied by an adult gets in free. That way someone will actually be in charge for keeping an eye on their own children.

I have a hard time believing that the children of Kilcoo,Clonduff, Ballyholland and CPN will be making their own way to Newry for the weekend..

While everyone else suffers financially??
They aren't the ones causing the problems its the ones hanging about Newry with nothing else to do on a saturday evening so they decide to go to a crowded game and muck about around the stands.

Sean og sent an email round the clubs and due  to large number of young children being left unattended we will now be implementing a charge of £2 for U-16s. Honestly the county board are worse than Scrooge McDuck.

The man is an idiot... has he not seen the positive press we have been receiving around the country with the amount of kids out kicking ball on the pitch at HT during the big games?

Imagine that, the county board being unhappy about looking after unattended kids for 2 hrs......

Bollocks. They are ushered of the field as half time ends and that's as far as it goes. No looking after involved.

Absolutely right... They should be more concerned about having to look after unruly adults in the stands.

Next Saturday, Glenn have u16 girls championship semi final at 12.30pm, u14 boys final at 1.30pm and intermediate semi final at 3.30pm.
1. Is there any thought put into scheduling these matches?
Goodness knows, we don't make many finals, all of a sudden two in the one afternoon!
2. Why is senior football, especially an intermediate semi final, scheduled for a time when a lot of people are working. When did championship football on a Saturday afternoon start?

I don't think they sold enuff season passes.. so looking all the intermediate attendees to then go and pay into Newry..

@hedgehunter I dont think laverty is employed by the co board, seems to be about this time every year we all not pick the magpies faults or actions🙈,myself included, listening to players from  both sides and neutrals @the game I hear conor got awful heavy weather before he lashed out at his opponent, he took a training session @ a club on saturday ,after talking to our chairwoman about the incident doing the rounds on social media he pulled up his top and showed her his arms and chest which were black and blue from being nipped and even a bite mark on back of his shoulder, so the only thing I could say to laverty Is fair played young man keep up the good work , he is a genius  to watch after all these years still  👍#utf🇮🇪

Absolute madness..

Will the whole video vindicate the action? So no harm done then.
Exactly there's no justification for what laverty did.

Is he still employed by the Co Board as a development officer?
