Things have improved beyond recognition since before the arrival of Saffron Vision, county squads get everything they need, with full support teams to back it up. Work going on behind the scenes in coaching and fundraising that  we would have given an arm for a decade ago, and while it's not perfect by any stretch, we are very obviously making great progress in the right areas.

As someone who has a long history of calling out the county "board" for their ineptitude, going back several decades, I can assure those current dissidents that if they had been around pre Paddy O' Hara report into football affairs in the county and what we have now.....its like day and night. And I'm happy to give plenty of examples.

Haters will hate, but the show must go on.

My posts were more for stirring the pot than anything.

Haters going to hate surely, again depends on what agenda they wanna push.

Glenariffe have a ladies football team anyway so not as averse to the big ball plus various county teams seem to have been at that kilmore house.

Funny set of finals yesterday. I think we'd have bother with Sligo but on the flip side wouldn't be convinced there'd be much between us and Fermanagh.

I'm not sure they will be invited back anytime soon from what I have heard
"When it's too tough for them, it's just right for us"

Get everything they need?
They couldn't get a bus to longford...

Maybe the bus money was used to pay the weekend in Waterfoot. 🤐😉

He's hardly going to say they are inept on the week of an Ulster Championship match

Think you will find that the players preferred the option of taking their own cars as opposed to a coach, their decision I believe, think the hurlers have done this a few times too

Squad discontent ?

Exactly PJ....but then commonsense would dictate that without having to spell it out for these glass empty fantasists. Thankfully the vast majority here can see through this drivel.
