Is there a link to what’s closed and what’s allows to be open in the south?

So no online teaching then? They’d be happy with that I’d say
They'd never be happy. Half them didn't do it anyway.
Half? Link?
Yeh sure, show me the link where teachers will be happy first though.
Just asked her in doors, no probs

That’s all you can do, but unfortunately some players tend to be drawn to big names and not so much the pride of the jersey, course that’s unfair on lads that do play have that pride and felt dejected after that result.
I’ll only remember defeats, worst loser out!

I right I’m thinking Baker was able to get out a good spread for all corners of the county?
Gleason has done tremendous work, as did Dinny back in the day.... Baker was great too..

Factories also spreading quite a bit. What is being done to ensure this doesn’t happen?
Schools are now said to have had 1500 cases. How many must that have equated to?
I think a number of things have just been done wrong from the top down to the bottom.
Schools? Surely not, Smurphy phd said different

now thats a topic worthy of discussion. what is possible after lockdown to help keep covid under control if anything. Doing the same is very very unlikely to work and maybe expecting social behaviour to change enough is also unlikely... anyone any ideas?
Enforce the rules?

The new manager (hopefully a SW man) will go with youth and prove us wrong

Aye but who’s best Federer or Nadal? I think Federer as he’s had a better spread against better players

The Antrim management didn’t even know about it or who the player was, made no enquiries about him or anything. Could you imagine an Armagh minor with a college All star being allowed to play for Down.
Mate of mine got one of those school all stars in hurling, the shock on his face in the photo says it all!

« on: October 19, 2020, 06:42:19 PM »DR, I can see how Dunloy felt bad about poor representation on football panels, we touched base about that a few times, but for some reason or other, the players wouldnt (or couldnt) commit. But youre right, the county managers of those particular age groups should have been making enquiries, not you and me! If they were at those matches they would have seen quite clearly that a few Dunloy lads were county standard.
Back when I was involved in dev squads etc I had at least three Dunloy lads in the panel, and they could all hold their own at that level. The managers and selectors need to fling their net far and wide to see whats available.
If there is anyone you think is being badly overlooked, pm me. Sometimes all it takes is a phone call and a bit of common sense to sort these things out.
The clever thing is when a team such as Dunloy were dominating that age group and above you ask some of that Dunloy management to come on board as a selector, you don’t leave the best players out, a great way to bring players on board is when there are friendly/familiar faces.
