Are club teams offering better money than counties, is that what we're supposed to take from this?

Really don't know what to make of this but my first inclination is that we got shafted by these two but maybe there's more to it.

The lads were promised money by a former Meath footballer. This was unknown to Meath County board.  Lads walked when no sign of the money.

Is that why they left?

I think for a lot of teams, pre this year, kick outs were handy.

Now you have to win your own ball - Brian Cody's great philosophy was he wanted players to be good at winning their own ball. Give them the ball high or low but they had to win it regardless.

Kick outs in football now is like this. Kick it out and win it. Most teams before got the majority of kick outs away and keep possession. Changed days now.

A keeper can't be blamed all the time. If no runs are being made, a keeper's only option is to put it out high and long. Then win your own ball basically.

Teenager (13) looking to get phone for first time.

What price per month contract would we be talking about?

Any good deals currently on market - just normal type phon for 'teenagery' stuff.

Surely there must be a cheaper option to build a decent stadium.

How do the lads abroad do it?

Casement Park aside, I think every council area should be adding GAA pitches to their portfolio. Proper full size pitches to cater for the clubs.

With a lot of clubs having 4 codes, pitches are at a premium so ectra pitches would help a lot.

Div. 2 in most sports/competitions is usually tight and competitive.

Quote from: illdecide on June 05, 2025, 08:50:07 AMI hear the Brits have stomped up the cash, it will be released in such a way that it will not send the bitter, catholic hating, sectarian, racist, twisted brethren into a meltdown.

How are they planning to do that?

True, the key thing is to know your own body and how you feel.

If you don't feel right, get checked out.

Ulster GAA seem hopeful that the Brits will be giving them more cash for Casement - well, that's my reading of this article. 

Must have had a few positive meetings recently.

Announcement next week on all funding for projects in future.

Rian O'Neill is a different level of footballer to everyone in Ireland bar maybe Clifford and Con O'Callaghan.

Conor Glass up there also.

Playing some serious stuff.

40% conversion rate won't win many matches.

Plus a lot, especially in 1st half, were relatively handy.
