The offside isn't black and white though. In very, very, marginal cases which they tend to disallow there is a margin of error which means the technology could be wrong.

They are implementing as asked though and to disallow the wolves goal was correct as it was consistent with the decisions var has made the rest of the season.

Imo make it clear and obvious for offside and it's fine.

The league table without VAR is interesting, but if it's the same for everyone then it 'works'

Interesting to who? 

Do Celtic have a racism problem as well as a sectarian one?

Bud thats not a football problem its a society problem.

Sure their a 100 times better! 

Yeah I see that lol...getting out of jail at 1-1 at ht Rangers playing them off the park at times in that 1st half.

Rangers looking the better team by far so far Celtic cant get out of there own half.

Kilcoo...congratulations on winning Ulster. I for one didnt think this team was as good as previous teams but man was I wrong. For sure there are more Ulster titles in that team and really they should have won by more in the end. Enjoy the celebrations you done your parish and Down proud.

Honestly dont think penalty shootouts are something that should be used to decide matches.

So Carryduff (and yes all Carryduff players) beat the mighty Burren in Burren with a county senior player out injured.

Well done Carryduff they are a good honest team..been a long time since mighty and Burren could be used in the same sentence your going back along time Centre!

Eamonn Burns was always a leader in Down football. He stood up in '91 and '94 when he was needed and yet again in 2016 when the county couldn't get a manager, he stood up. He was abused from everyone, and in particular on here, when things didn't go our way but he kept coming back. He took us to the Ulster Final in 2017 and I'm sure this gave him great pride, though the result never went our way. He was slated again in 2018 and sadly walked. We don't have enough men like Eamonn Burns who will put their shoulder to the wheel whenever they are needed. RIP Eamonn, you can be proud of your contribution to Down football in so many ways.

Well said Lotto. As you said Eamon stepped in for a number of years to manage the county during a time when some of the older boys were hanging up the boots and there wasn't much coming through to replace them. And not 1 in the county would have taken them either so for that we should be thankful and thank him for his not insignificant role during the glory years of the early 90's. For me his performances in the All Ireland Final of '91 and '94 Ulster final showed what a classy powerful player he was. Thanks Eamon for the memories...A gentleman and great GAA man. RIP Eamon. 

Eamon Burns - A stylish & tough as teak footballer. Played a massive role in Downs 2 All Ireland's in the early 90's. A gentleman on and off the field. Massive shock - RIP.

You're quite correct there General. It was you who gave me his details and I thank you for that

he has a bit of a screw loose but his system is impressive. jaysus i laughed at his facebook postings last night. His android app is also working tip top now. have the rugby on here on the phone

You said it 
My supplier told me iptv gone forever and no point looking for it. Whose this lad youse are talking about might get him to provide it.

Is it actually? All the talk I heard from boys over the years bragging how they were getting Sky sports for £5 a month and how I was a big eejit for paying for sky.

What's the big deal with paying £2 for under 16s
If you are not prepared to pay £2 don't take the children.
You would not be long during a 15 year old £3 for a chip down the town
Get real lads and stop always moaning £2 for 60 minutes of high quality football is nothing.

Be careful.....if the kids stop going to the football the outlook is bleak for the future. 

I've read through the explanatory letter a few times today.

Still though I'm struggling to grapple the correlation between a nominal entry fee for u16s, children playing on the field at half time, and teenagers forming into an antisocial group.

Chaps if you want to charge a few quid for kids, just be honest about it. Don't dress it up within this nonsense.

Totally agree I don't understand this link either....the kids are going mad so we are going to charge them all £2 quid to enter to go mad....what tripe...tell ya what sure if we charge to bring kids to the game the adults will mind them lol couldn't make it up

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.

That's poor form if true what honestly is the thinking behind that move - keep the kids away who we want to be representing club and county over the coming years? Can the county board not be held to account over this by the club reps?

[Kilcoo have missed their chance]

Maybe it's a play on the word ciúin (quiet)...which would be quite ironic...that being said I don't think you have much to worry about Cuan, point won't win it (Think they've a very strong 15 but not much to bring on). Burren will walk it...Ballholland only team that can challenge them from what I've seen and that's out of sheer tenacity...Kilcoo have missed their chance

Big statement!! me thinking it might be the other way round!

[East Down clubs]

East Down clubs need to get there own house in order. The football is so poor and underage teams are terrible. Poor structures and coaching. Carryduff has no call to joinnwith Saul and Teconnacht in last years under 21. But here let them at it. No wonder they can't get past the quarter finals

You mean Down clubs in general - dam all difference in standard of football north/south/east/west.
