I just don't want us to turn into Derry where the club v county thing is prevalent. I may have misread the situation regarding where we broke the rules to lead to the overturning of our first home league game but I'm aware of a bit more ambivalence to the county team than before. Some of Geezer's attitude towards the clubs is concerning. He is on record as saying that if you are picked for the county you should not have to play club football (like rugby). While we're on the subject, I was also annoyed at an article in the Irish News where Davy Wilson was firing shots at clubs for overstretching the county minor lads because some of them were still playing u16 football. We have a lad in our club who was on the county panel and we specifically told him that we didn't want to see him at training or challenge matches. We felt we were looking after the lad as he had a very serious injury two years ago and he's doing exams this year. The county management had him running to Armagh to them FOUR days a week. I couldn't believe my eyes when one of our county minor managers starting criticising clubs for playing lads at both u16 and minor levels!!
The county management at all levels and the clubs need to work together for the betterment of all our players, not work against each other.
