Quite a number of games played at 10.30 in Dublin

well don't I look like a d**khead i was going by upcoming fixtures

Haven't heard many complaints from players who actually played at 10am, rest of day free and seems to have went down well after the initial shock though a fair few changed to 11 and 12 throw ins.

I saw players tweeting negatively about the early throw ins.

Who did you see tweet this ? It's just not true!

It is true. See one of Mick McCann's tweets below.....

'Where else would you get it? 10am Senior League Fixtures in March. Split season going well. Hope the lad recovers, shocking injury'

Did you not see his next tweet , see below:

"Starting to like these 10am games "

Tongue in cheek, same as his next tweet.

'im sure theres a logical reason for these 10am starts that isn't a 'get these games over to f*ck with in March'

1 month to the tailteann starts? youd like to see them out for at least 1 more club game

[imtommygunn]

Yeah you'd hope.

St John's aghagallon be interesting and st galls creggan.

The rest you'd expect to go to script with county players.

The new Tailteann cup format means you'll be in it minimum 5 weeks maximum 10 weeks depending on how well your county does meaning you wont see county players back to their clubs until end of june.. must be a few Biddies and LD folk thinking oh bollocks

Question for MR... David Coldrick failed the inter county referees fitness test because he didnt get 17.4 in the bleep test. What is the fitness requirement for an Antrim club referee? And also do you take a bad ref who can complete the test or a good ref who can't ??

Generally its over 14 I think for club referee's, those that don't past the rules test (over 80%, over 95% intercounty I think) or the fitness test don't get championship games.. Having done the test you'd know that 

If the 'good' ref can't keep up with play or know the rules then he's not a good ref?
