Is it right to do it with managers?

No, my club have had 2 outside managers and were no better for it, 1 left a dint in the bank account but ultimately our club men have served us well with what we have

Quote from: Níl a fhios agam on March 14, 2024, 04:32:45 PMMaybe its different around Belfast MR2, maybe you boys wouldnt lose any sleep over a St.Galls man jumping across to Johnnies or Rossa. But for my club, i know it would be hurtful to see a home grown player play for a neighboring club.

Point being, is it ok for a MANAGER to make these approaches to these guys. Managers come and go, club will be left to deal with the shit after his wee venture is over

It's no different in any club but you're happier for a player to be lost to the GAA than play.

Like I said I don't know any club that hasn't a player from another club.

I also wouldn't personally get my knickers in a twist about it. I never lost out on my place in the team to an outsider  ;D
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

I don't understand the hatred for Portglenone. A decent club who have served the county well with players and officials.

That statement doesnt apply to me, i have friends and family from Casements, but id tell them the same, I think proactively recruiting players from neighboring clubs is wrong

JMK hasnt sent a Greenlough player a text asking him to transfer. EL played in London having reportedly fell out with his home club. If back living in the area and playing no football at all, is a text message saying you fancy playing a bit as a big an issue as youre making out? Answer to that is no

Had the odd dig at Portglenone for the craic to wind Bannside up in the past but at least they are making an attempt to progress unlike so many other teams that are going backwards. Former big name teams looking like in a few years they will be well down the divisions (if that is possible with a 16 team division 1)  :-[

A rising tide lifts all boats. Cargin the indisputable model that anyone in Antrim needs to match up to if they hope to emulate. No substitute for hard work, and an ethos where success is the only show in town.

PG1 a work in progress, as said before, whatever current batch achieves, much more work being done with next generation.

Anyone who thinks JMK going round South Derry trying to attract players is ludicrous. Zero substance in some of these "presumptions". A great clubman doing own club job for free despite numerous large "offers" elsewhere...whilst still contributing handsomely to our juvenile sector. Exceptionally well regarded in these parts.

Obviously JMK has upset you at some point NiL,maybe wiped your eye,maybe didn't hold your hand at HT,I DON'T KNOW lol,but to me as an StEndas man,I think Cargin,Creggan, Casements,St Brides and Aghagllon are the teama to catch

Looking like us against Wicklow to see who stays in division three. (Assuming it's head to head...)

It's head to head if only two teams on same pints so yeah, massive game v Wicklow to come. They will be up for it after today's win, it won't be easy won. But really if we can't beat Wicklow at home we have no place in Div 3.

Listening to the game today on Clare FM, seems the red card was very damaging.

There is a reason why Dunloy and Cargin overachieve despite small playing numbers.  It is the same reason as why competitive school football environments are essential.   The rest are playing a numbers game hoping population size sorts out their root problems.

Neither have won an All Ireland and one struggles to win in Ulster.. overachieving is a bit much?
