[y the Who (thats available) would you personally like to see in the hot seat?

We thats grand then, were mates so.
 
Myself I'm a big fan of Wee James, both as the stellar player he was and a gr8 Down ambassador showing the winning kind of cockiness I like. 
My view on his recent appointment is not anti-James McCartan
(a selection of several other individuals would represent the same to me) but anti, what I see as, the lack of imagination in it. The appointment represents the continuation of an approach that has failed us the past decade.  I do not see Pete as the panecea but at least he represents a slightly different (in-Co Approach) option and is a man who knows how to take ove a weak setup and deliver success.

I really believe that the Co needs a radical new approach if we are to claw our way out of the league of aslo rans. My own view is that we need to a) have a serious look at our systems of identifing and bringing through suitable young prospects from about U16 onwards and b) I favour going outside of the Co ifor the top job to see what a fresh approach would do.  It is only however, mvho.  Bye the by, were Dundrum playing today?

Naw we had no game. Heard Drumgath beat Ardglass and on top of the Bredagh result would think thats the third spot pretty much Drumgaths now.

Why does In the Onion Bag always post when he's been on the sauce? Has he nothing to say when sober?

Plus having been working last night till 10:30, in again at 8:15 am to 4pm today. 
Bacon, zero alcohol on this occassion but usually you would be correct.  Anyway, I though that was the norm on this board.  Am I wrong here?  Perhaps your a godfearingTT?

[tirnaog]

Tullylish bt bredagh by a point. That's it for bredagh for the year I think

Yeah Think thats it for them alright with Drumgath winning also, they ran Tullylish close I heard but think Quinn and McAreavey turned on the syle in the last 10 to get them over the line, McAreavey scored a monster free kick from about 60 yards, outside of the boot to level, then he set up Quinn for the winner.

As a non-ards Hurling fan i am glad to see the SHC final in Downpatrick.Should get a bigger crowd as more neutrals from over here will go.It shouldnt impact on Ards fans as they should follow their teams anywhere at this stage.

I'd love to see this 'bigger crowd' theory as it hasn't bourne out the last few times the final has been played in either Downpatrick or Newcastle. There has certainly been bigger crowds in Ballycran and Portaferry the last two years. Hopefully you'll be right this year bitta-banter.

I quite like Downpatrick as a venue with it natural banking and the surface is usually fine so i don't think its moving from Portaferry will impact either team that much other than the hassle of the boat, but I'm sure the highwayman will make a few bob along the way.
