Sigerson 2008

I think it was Uladh who, in the Armagh/Cork thread, remarked that Cussen wasn't playing in the semi-final. I have heard a rumour (which could be completely unfounded, mind) that Cussen was not injured, suspended or anything else but had gotten into a spot of bother with the, em, Guards?

Mo way - he was in for a cup of tea with his colleagues - they look after each other !

UUJ aren't turning up to Carlow next Tuesday - this years Sigerson has turned into a total farce !

Where did you hear this?

It's the full of the Irish News today.

[TacadoirArdMhacha]

So what's the story with the Poly?

[Our Nail Loney]

Tommy Joe says they can't afford to take two days off with tests etc!! How much revsion is required for a HND?? Seriously!!

[BallyhaiseMan]

they shouldnt be asked to have to travel down to Carlow again, Its ridiculous.

Navan or Breffini should be the venue used.

[TacadoirArdMhacha]

I'd feel sorry fo the lads who put the effort in all year down in Carlow if they didn't get to host the final but at this stage its probably better to hold the final somewhere like Newry which would be little more than an hour's journey for both sides.

Ridiculous to be threatening not to play the game. Are you seriously telling me that the Jordanstown team aren't willing to take 1 day out of their schedule for a Sigerson final? Mere posturing by officials on an ego trip I'd say. Sure they musta spent weeks out of their studies looking for that trophy all them years ago!

[ExiledGael]

Wonder how they've been training lately, how can they expect Jordanstown to keep ticking along and now try to gear up for this as final exams near. Pathetic treatment of an often brilliant tournament. Another example of where the GAA can make you cringe with shame sometimes.

No doubt about that - these lads have been training all season, playing challenge matches, Mc Kenna cup matches, Sigerson qualifiers etc etc, putting in monumental effort and it degenereates into a farce !!!!!!!!
