They'd just play 5-a-side soccer.

That's why if a team has 11, amalgamation is the way

Love a good sirloin. Use to get an 8 oz with chips/mash, onion rings, sauteed mushrooms and peppercorn sauce for £8.95 back in the day!

Price of them now...going to a steak house here in California for my birthday and the cheapest is a 6 oz filet mignon for $45 and then you pay for all your sides! There's a tomahawk on the menu for $125

Yep, nothing fresh about that appointment. As a hurling man, the best thing I can say is that at least he's from a hurling club. Honest to God - no one must want these jobs?!

 Heard  a rumour at the weekend which I thought was a bit far fetched tbh but I see the Gaelic Life is posting it too  that Slaughtneil are set to appoint Austin O'Malley as their new coach

Dorgu out for 10 weeks...been having a good season...was nearly contemplating breaking my stance on not picking Utd for my fantasy team

Ah you have to have Bruno in it.

I'm in an American one and you have to draft  players so each player can be only picked once

Seems the general idea was that they want clubs to be able to play at underage league games if they are limited for a night with lower numbers rather than not fielding in the game.

Doesn't do much for the other team who maybe has 7/8 subs who sit there and do nothing potentially for a game.

It is only league as championship is 15-a-side and clubs don't have to field any lower than that to suit another side with low numbers.

It isn't uncommon for some teams to field with 13 in games and it happens in camogie as well for underage games.

Again its of no benefit to clubs with decent numbers who see players miss out. 

11 aside with a team making 6 subs is a hell of a lot better than a team conceding a game and the 22 starters plus subs getting nothing

Daft outlook!!! Team with 22 players better off having an in house game or travelling to another county for a challenge game
Ask the question why on gods green earth has a team only got 11 players ?

Dont avoid the difficult questions with comfortable solutions

If a team only has 11 players the they shouldn't be lining out at that age group.
Something's gone wrong before hand and it really does punish teams and clubs who have invested time and effort into attracting and retaining players at that age group!

A rising tide might lift all boats and likewise if one boat blocks the gate, no other boats get out

11 players.... Drop your ego

[does he start for Portugal because he plays for Utd?]

Begs the question, does he start for Utd because he plays for Portugal, or does he start for Portugal because he plays for Utd? Yoro could do a grand job at RB in the style of Ben White and take a bit of learning from time alongside Maguire or de Ligt

Dalot doesn't start for Portugal unless there are injuries. Cancelo at RB and Nuno Mendes at LB. Semedo and Joao Neves have also played RB for them recently.
