So, what can we do on the discussion boards to check the validity of the Sunday Times story that O'Neills has been outsourcing some of its manufacturing to Bangladesh and to implore the GAA to do something about it if true?

Sadly i am not surprised, G.A.A. should at the very least enquire into the wages and conditions of Bangledesh works sub contracting for O Neills

Sky news could do the reporting.

Good to see Ballykinlar in the JFC. Have reports of their demise been exaggerated?

They're back in the league as well. St Paul's have been informed that  their scheduled home game from the original fixture list is now a home game for ballykinlar to give them a wee helping hand. Not sure how a team can enter at the eighth round of the league?  What happens to their results from the previous seven rounds?

Bredagh won Féile Peil na nÓg for the first time yesterday. 3 weeks ago the same group of players won Feile na nGael in hurling. Fantastic double.

Does the full forward buy his BIC razors at McMillans One Stop?

Some achievement, congratulations to those involved.

Called out to see the Rostrevor v Island game. Rostrevor won by a point, but very lucky too.

That referee needs to take a hard look at himself. Ball in air for last kick, blows it up. 2secs later Island have the ball in the net, but doesnt allow for it. They wonder why referees get the abuse they do. Shocking

Harps led for most of the game V Burren. Missed a penalty that would have left them 4 up with 10 to go. Ended up getting beat by 3

[whitegoodman]

Harps fairly miss Murtagh, even for a target man. Couldn't believe how defensive they were in the first half with a strong wind, played a spare man at the back, cost them the game IMO as only went in at ht with 5 point lead.

Burren had no forwards at all and badly missed Eamon Toner.  McKernan was the star on show, if he played consistently like that he would be some asset.  Burren going nowhere though unless they get a number of players back from injury/abroad.

We had enough to beat Burren tonight without Murtagh WGM. We didn't take our chances. Apart from the penalty Gunner Quinn should have buried a one V One in the 1st half. Cousins bottled a few decisions as well. Joseph Murphy one on one with the keeper in the 2nd half and Daniel chopped him down. Result? Yellow. WTF. McKernan was the difference in the end. Fair play...some magnificent scores.

So I'll give you a bit more background to the incident you mention - Loughinisland get a free just outside the 45 deep in injury time, the referee makes it clear to them there are less than 20 seconds left to play, Loughinisland then proceed to change the free kick taker wasting over ten seconds in the process, the referee then informs them if the ball doesn't go dead from the kick then the game is over, literally the last kick. The ball is pumped in towards goal and lands in a ruck of players with Dan Gordon getting his fist to it (and into the net) thus rendering the ball not dead from the kick and so the ref blows the final whistle as soon as someone else touches it. No goal.

Why did he have to be so pinickity with time? Lucky he wasted bate out the gate. Also, Island #6 is a dirty gyp for stamping on their #14. Everyone but ref happened to see it.
