Three Hours of Sunlight Per Day Ulster Senior Football Club Championship 2013

[brokencrossbar1]

Physically the extra games would make no difference but mentally it would be very draining to be looking down the fact of chasing a game and having to lift yourself.  The legs feel heavier, the arms weaker, the kicks shorter, there isn't the same willingness to o the extra yard.  Given the type of high tempo, high intensity game that Kilcoo play then it is harder to lift yourself when having to chase a lead. 

I actually feel though that Ballinderry would have beaten Kilcoo anyway as they have the forwards to win most games.  They will be very hard to beat this year as they have a nice blend of experience and youth.

There seems to be a general acceptance on here that gaelic games are played at a greater intensity nowadays, that training and matches are faster, that the hits are harder, that recovery is more important than it used to be, that playing a lot of games makes you more susceptible to injury, that burnout is an issue etc. I'm not sure that I entirely agree, though obviously the games and training has continuously evolved since it started, a lot of the comments appear to succumb to the "we're in a golden age" mindset. Which every generation since Adam has suffered from I might add.

Is there any empirical evidence of these changes, say over the last decade, which many people seem to think has heralded massive advances in the fitness of gaa players. Im sure these are the types of issues that SINI [for example] would be monitoring, does any of you know where this could be accessed?

Just saying I wouldn't read too much into the game on Sunday with regards the respective strengths of each of the three teams. Fatigue meant it was always a mismatch.

I suspect that this is mental as much as physical. Kilcoo were planning to beat Cross since last year, with the replay they just hadn't fully refocussed on Ballinderry.

Fatigue my hoop..its an hour of football lads, not an full iron man ! A weeks rest should be plenty

Factor in hard hits, mental fatigue, heavy legs, physical work that some of the players may also have to do, farming !! Flip there could be a stack of reasons to be burnt out, but I'm sure they would change the opportunity of getting to another Ulster final and beating Cross along the way

Not to mention seeing to the odd sheep.

Having trained with our seniors over the years and going back to 88/89 right through to when we lost the All Ireland (by the way I just trained, was no where near the panel lol)  the difference in training preparation is night and day!! when we played in Ulster in the late 80's we were competitive and won most of our first round games, so we were decent enough at that level.

All our lads are members of gyms, the vast majority stick to a weights programme, taking protein shakes and eating well, they train longer and have high intensity challenge games with top teams from around Ulster and beyond. Also throw in your league games and it's a hard season, we've also lads with the county too.

88/89 we would have trained twice a week, and most of the lads had a few pints afterwards, went home and got a Chinese. That's just from my memory

I see Jamie Clarke is back in the country. A bit strange that he lands home a week after Cross are put out? Is all not well with him and big Joe?

I'd say the duration of his trip may have as much to do with US visa regulations as anything else.

No, he and Joe fell out and Jamie is waiting until Joe steps down before he comes back.

An Armagh colleague at work assures me that wasn't the case Crossbar. Had he not been planning this trip since last year? He's been away 3 months next week so that would fit with Visa story?? What do you know? Give us the gossip!!

One life, one club, one helluva mess

Quit it ffs. You'll have Gaelic Life running this story on the front page if you aren't careful.

Thats something Hoganstand would steal!

Seriously? Could not be based on the game he done in the first round in Donegal!!

I would love to know how many cards are actually overturned?

Fútbol gaélico: Ballinderry versus Glenswilly

El próximo domingo 1 de diciembre se enfrentan el Ballinderry y el Glenswilly. Y es que se juega la final de la Ulster Senior Club Championship de fútbol gaélico. Lo cierto es que es bastante sorprendente que el Glenswilly haya llegado a la final del campeonato, pues se trata de un club muy humilde para un deporte tan desconocido como este.

Pero sea un deporte conocido o desconocido, lo cierto es que podemos ganar algún dinero apostando de la forma más sabia posible. Lo primero que no tenemos que perder de vista es que el Ballinderry es un club con solera, vencedor en dos ocasiones de la Ulster Senior Club Championship y de otras competiciones importantes, como la Derry Senior Championship (este campeonato lo ha ganado once veces). Es un equipo poderoso. Por su parte, el Glenswilly, que nunca se hubiera imaginado que llegaría a una final de este campeonato, es un equipo de pueblo.

Por supuesto, en las casas de apuestas pesa la trayectoria a la hora de decidir c*ál de los dos equipos es el favorito en esta ocasión. Así que el favorito es el Ballinderry. Ha sido un gran equipo en el pasado y el hecho de que esté en esta final indica que sigue siendo un gran equipo en la actualidad. Ahora bien, el Glenswilly viene sorprendiendo a todo el mundo desde que comenzó la competición. Y podría seguir sorprendiendo y ganar la final del campeonato.

Desde esta perspectiva, aunque es cierto que el favorito en estos momentos es el Ballinderry, es posible que merezca la pena arriesgarse y apostar por el Glenswilly. A fin de cuentas, por cada euro apostado por el Ballinderry podemos ganar 1,57 céntimos, mientras que ganaríamos 1,80 en caso de apostar por el Glenswilly. El empate, que podría ser una apuesta loca, cotiza a la friolera de 8 euros por cada euro apostado

上週日12月1日Ballinderry和Glenswilly臉。和阿爾斯特高級俱樂部錦標賽蓋爾式足球結束時播放。事實是，這是很奇怪， Glenswilly已經達到了比賽的冠軍，因為這是一個很不起眼的俱樂部為未知的這項運動。

但它是一個已知或未知的運動，事實是，我們可以賺一些錢賭可能是最聰明的方式。我們絕不能忽視的第一件事是，俱樂部Ballinderry是火塘，兩次冠軍阿爾斯特高級俱樂部錦標賽等重大賽事，如德里資深冠軍（這個冠軍獲得了11倍）的。它是一個強大的團隊。同時， Glenswilly ，永遠不會猜到它會來到這個比賽的最終是一個團隊的人。

當然，天堂權衡路徑決定C *兩隊的人是最喜歡這個時候。所以，最喜歡的是Ballinderry 。它已經在過去的一個偉大的球隊，那就是在最後的狀態仍然是一個偉大的球隊今天。現在到了令人吃驚的Glenswilly自世界各地的競爭開始了。我可以不斷的驚喜，贏得了冠軍。

從這個角度來看，雖然這是事實，最喜歡的，現在是Ballinderry ，它可能是值得的風險，去Glenswilly 。畢竟，對於每一個由Ballinderry投資歐元，我們可以賺取1.57美分，而1.80會贏，如果賭對Glenswilly 。平局，這可能是一個瘋狂的賭博，在高達8歐元交易，每下注歐元
