Hi pints i see your club has just elected a member of the gay community onto your committee. fair play to youse

If you're gay do you have to live in a community on the side of a mountain or somewhere? that's a bit harsh?

Huh?
I suppose that's meant to be an insult?

Anyone know of any managerial changes throughout the county? More and more teams paying outside men now to do it

2 McKenna cup matches in Davitt Park

. you's south Armagh men will not like that

Sure you's could always get the train down from Newry...

is there any chance of a national league game coming to Davitt park or is that pushing the boat out a bit too much?

still, happy to have a couple of games on our doorstep...

Maybe if you's invested in a scoreboard, a stand of some sort decent ball stoppers, plus few other things yes it would be good for a National League game. Though dont expect county board to invest in such things so no, McKenna cup games will be highlight of the year for you's

Score board? well if thats what floats your boat. The new catch nets in Davitt Park are only 2 or 3 year old and are the same as any other ground as the same company supply's them so wind your neck in. As for the stand why and how can we build a stand in davitt Park when we don't own the ground? The field is owned by the county board therefore it is their responsibility. However we are in the process of negoitations with the county board on trying to buy the ground or at least a long term lease of some sort so we can develop Davitt Park.

And just for you we will put in a 20,000 all seater

Steady on lads
Couple of Mc Kenna Cup games & now you want the National League as well
You will be looking the C'ship games next - typical f**king Clans - give them an inch and they will take a mile
In fact I think I have heard a few referee's utter that line

illdecide · December 14, 2007, 11:26:55 AM

Your good fullback, no your really good

I'm not falling into that trap

Jasus the old ref issues are gone for a while, can't wait till the season starts so we can go "that fecker robbed us yesterday, everyone hates the clans

"

lurganblue · December 14, 2007, 11:34:00 AM

Heard today Vinny Loughran was leaving Port Mor to take charge of a team very close to them? Seems strange

RONAN · December 14, 2007, 01:29:42 PM

Following a request by the family of the late Emon Coleman, a special day of celebration to mark the life of the man himself is currently been organised for Saturday 7th June 2008, the first anniverasry of his death. On the day there will be a game between Derrys 93 All Ireland winning team and an Irish select of past and present players who played for and against Eamon.

Later in the evening an Informal Dinner will take place in a specialised marquee on the premises of St Treas Ballymaguigan Co Derry, which of course was Eamons home club. Cost of this event is £1000 per table, but in the event that you may not wish to avail of a table a donation of any kind would be very much appreciated.

The charities being supported which were close to Eamon are: Marie Curie Cancer, GOAL, Adoption UK, SMA and Foyle Hospice.

To book a table or make a voluntary contribution you can contact myself on 07875 400 839 or email me on: ronan@moltools.co.uk, or contact Jim Crozier on 07841100141 or email: jimgcrozier@msn.com. Jims address is 246 Shore Road, Magherafelt, Co Derry, BT45 6LH.

Any contributions via cheque can be made out to "Eamon Coleman Memorial Fund"

Many thanks.
