no one knows, its a shambles

it looks ok for being a player but i do not know where officers will see information or how it wont break gdpr

The online system is supposed to be going live today? It will definitely crash! I cant believe the gaa pulled things forward without these in place.

cutting it very fine

Is the online questionnaire available anywhere?

Thanks supersub, and as always your excellent positive tone. I bet you are great craic in a bar.

Does anyone know how the county board meeting went the other night? Are we going ahead with the format? I do not see any communications on our excellent up to date website.

To be honest, compiling that fixture list would not be easy and it looks clear and transparent.
Down Gaa used to be a shambles at leagues, draws, cups etc but in the past numbers of years  it seems very professional.
Although we all want to win a championship or league title, we should all enjoy the few games we will have this year and chance of meet old friends and foes.
I for one wont be complaining about a long trip to the far end of the county on a Friday evening with a coffee and sandwich from a Petrol station.

Can we forget about arguing about training ffs, every div 1 and 2 team are back training in every place other than their own pitch. Derrylecka, Milltown, Kilbroney, Tollymore, Annsborough and Kilcoo meadow to name a few. People giving  the Wobbler grief should really look at their own club ! Ps if you club is not doing any kind of fitness work NOW then i would be giving your senior manager grief and not wobbler.

What is your thoughts on the county board proposals? Personally i think they are ok and credit must go to getting them out. I think RGU and Castlewellan are griping that their is no promotion or relegation. Personally Castlewellan should be thankful as they will have another year in div 2 before they drop to div 3.

Mourne Red ideally that would work with two games a week but Hurling and underage competitions need to come into reckoning too. Personally I think they should play all senior competitions and see where we are at. Trying to sort out reserve fixtures will be total carnage.
If county board are sorting seniors and minor fixtures for now then clubs could play 2 games a week, If every age group has fixtures then it with be a mess not to mention Ladies and Camogie who should be working away on something as well.

But can you see clubs agreeing to promotion and relegation in a competition ran off like a go game tournament?
But people cannot be negative either, if I see a few games this year i will be happy. It was not too long to people on this board were saying that there will be no football to 2022.
I am sure a few clubs teams could be near burnout after the intense running training they have been doing the past few months.

Will club bars be allowed to open if we get the go ahead in the north or will they have to wait to august 10?
Bars are a massive source of income to clubs

So its the same format as last season for the championship again

The GAA need to remember that 97% of Gaels are volunteers ,we know what the other 3% are . I hope Croke Park will be giving grants to clubs for these upgrades .

Still no word on age groups for 2020 yet teams will be back training in a few weeks. What nights are games on etc
Coaching officer role should be given to Poacher or Laverty
