M G did play under age for Derry.....senior for Antrim.
...quite legal....

ffs a majority of the Ballinderry team which won the All Ireland club born in Tyrone....

It's a discussion not a criticism.

[delgany]

Anyone at the fixtures meeting last night? Any startling changes planned for 2024?

Three Divisions for 2023
Bottom team in Div 1 relegated.
2nd Bottom  team in Div 1 to play winners of Div 2 in promotion/ relegation play off.
Not sure how that plays out in 2024, but Div 1 will be back to 12 teams

Why do ye think we can never trust them

Inter-club transfers definitely seem to be on the rise which is not good. The entire ethos of the GAA is built on local communities and if we lose that we are in trouble! How long before we start to see clubs offering incentives for top players to join them?

(Disclaimer: there are obviously certain scenarios where transfers are necessary)

We're long past that stage. Dublin clubs have been at this for 30+ years.

[NatSoSaff]

I don't go along with the notion that these transfers are on the rise or any more frequent. It's just a case of a cluster of more high profile players/teams involved no?

[imtommygunn]

Yeah I would agree. It's always been going on just less people talking about it.

Shane Walsh seemed to magnify it a bit but just because one high profile boy does it it doesn't make it any greater than it was from what I can see.

Why did ryan murray come off early the other day? Will he be a doubt for this weekend?

[bannside]

Looked like a hamstring twinge, hope it's not too serious Ryan definitely one of our most valuable players. I'd say he'll do a warm up before the game on Sunday and see what it's like!

[imtommygunn]

It's on saturday 

Yeah hopefully he's available. I think saturday a very interesting game to show where we're at. I very much hope it's a winnable game but won't be easy.

[bannside]

Indeed...2pm lol. Definitely a big game.
