Kilcoo V Burren:Mid Down Gael - what sort of game was it?

On another note, Unfortunately the down management are still in place despite an overwhelming vote of No Confidence at thursday night's meeting. Bell decided to over rule the democratic decision of giving them the boot!!

At the players meeting wednesday night, the management team heard a few home truth's. The players are now conferring with each other and it's now a situation of the 'management' V 'some of the players'. Complete lack of trust in the management team at present and the only way for progress will be under new leadership. Irrespective of who will get the job in 2010 they couldnt be much worse than what's already there.

Last Sunday cost the board approximately £10,000 between fines, travel expenses and food! the classic lifted £12,000. It's an absolute disgrace but the saga continues. As a geniune gael, im completely frustrated. I contribute to the supporter's club funds, as well as the new club down initiative and my hard earned cash is being used to cover the cost of certain people behaving very irresponsibly!! It pains me to say but our county board are letting them away with it so I guess they deserve everything they get, it's a political minefield!!

Was a very entertaining game considering it rained throughout. Very fast fotball and the play was end to end. Kilcoo had 14 men for 45 minutes of the game loosing a player to a straight red but Burren failed to use their extra man to their advantage. Leo Smith done his best to spoil it.

Was Eoin Mc Cartan playing for Burren, or is he still out?

cant have any issues with feeding and transporting our players to the game but the fine is scandalous. scandalous that those in charge were not careful to avoid being penalized and scandalous because the fine is excessive. what you say about management vs some players is very worrying but not unexpected given the treatment of some ex members of the panel ie. john clarke. training throughout the off season was unnecessary and i believe that starting an injured benny against fermanagh sent those on the subs bench their own message of no confidence.

Friday May 29 (7.30pm)
ACFL Division 4
Aughlisnafin v St Michael's (P Gelston)
Bright v Ballykinlar (M Lynch)
Sunday May 31 (2pm)
ACFL Division 4
Mitchels v Dromara (L Smyth)
Monday June 1 (7.30pm)
ACFL Division 4
St John Bosco v Dromara (D Ryan)

Cheers Out in Front, Bit harsh on Dromara having to play 2 days in a row, how come their Series 8 match v Mitchels is on sunday instead of friday night?

My error marsbarkid - it's Friday and Monday Dromara play (both at 7.30pm) - Sunday May 31 was the next line in the fixtures...got a bit mixed up.

Thanks for clearing that up Out in Front, was kind of hoping Dromara did have to play 2 days in a row, they,re our main rivals for 5th place in Div4

The Burren full forward line was Cathal Murdock, Anton McArdle and James McGovern. Eoin McCartan was no where to be seen so i presume he is still out long term.

He has had no luck with injuries at all!

Is Cathal Murdock not a goalkeeper....seems to  be Burren thing. I remember a big guy called Brian Laverty who played in goals all his life and they turned him into an All Ireland winning club midfielder

Can anyone tell me who is the Paddy Mohan who has been lining out at full-back for Burren this season??

[supersub]

He is one of their new recruits! Hes from fermanagh, think he played for fermanagh a few seasons ago?

Where has he parked the old caravan then? How did Loughinisland miss out on him?

not sure just know hes from there!

[The Corporal]

How come players from outside the county who move to Down always end up in either the Burren vacinity or the Loughinisland vacinity? Is there some sort of weekly wage packet going on with these players or what?

[No1]

That is very unfair on Loughinisland.

They only target and take players from other clubs within the county.

.
Paddy was in the Fermanagh panel last year and is a very good full back.
Still county standard IMO but i would say the travelling probably got too much
