On the topic of U 21 championship, when was the last time the favourites actually won this competition? The last few were won by the underdogs if I remember correctly, great to have a competitive championship like that running

Dont think its fair that relegation can be decided by results at this stage of the season when most teams aren't training. E.g Moneyglass beating St Johns & Aldergrove beating Creggan, results that probably would've been different earlier on in the season. It isn't fair for some teams in a relegation battle who have to play all the 'bigger' teams earlier in the year. The league should be ran off sooner

He was only on for about a minute before he got the line. Liability

I heard 2 St Galls men got straight reds at Kilmacuds on Sat, (if true) will that mean suspensions for the final vs Cargin?

To be honest I don't think there is a pitch or facilities in the city which is good enough to host a county final.

Total disgrace that people should have to worry about getting their jaw broke when going to play a game of football. If it isn't dealt with properly, then it is more likely to put off boys like Bradley who actually want to play the game, and keep the fella who done it and similar people in our game as they can get away with it. Does anybody know what exactly happened in it? Off the ball slap?

That would be some slap!! Popeye couldn't slap ya that hard that you end up with a broken jaw in 3 places FFS

Slap has been known to mean 'hit' mr2...................

Although CAP just posted on Twitter that the rumours are false and he hasn't walked..

Don't know what to make of this...

Its hard to question both McCann and Scullion's commitment to Antrim, as its been 100%, being 2 of our most consistent players. But from what I've heard of Dawson he's been fairly reasonable with players and personal issues etc.. So its hard no to think that theres more to the story, seems pretty bizzare!

I saw a stat today that Cavan have won 9 of their last 10 ulster u21 games, and the one they lost was the 2010 final to Donegal if I remember right. That sort of dominance surely has to turn into some sort of success in the future for Cavan seniors!

Down will be without Paul McComiskey for a year after the key forward decided to travel abroad.
It is a major blow for the Mourne men, who have one game left in their battle against league relegation, ahead of the Ulster Championship campaign.
Darren O'Hagan and Arthur McConville are also likely to miss the Championship with the pair going to America in search of work.
Down boss James McCartan said it was doubtful the pair will be available.
McComiskey played his last game for the Mourne men in last weekend's defeat at Croke Park.
"Any man that decides to travel the world for a year, you can't really hold it against him," McCartan told the Irish News.

Big blow for Down, in particular McComiskey!

You woulda thought Galvin could've at least got a pair of club shorts for such a game!

Yea Shamrock Cup is the league!

Not too sure but i think it was the qf of the championship I think.. If so, a major shock! Longford where 16/1 before the game
