Following on the Fr Ted theme has Mrs Doyle shed any light on the playing of county players in club games.

It's fair enough WhatwillB if it is explained in advance that a certain player will be joining up a few weeks late. I take your point about being fair to those who are training, but as long as he isn't jetted in the week of the game to the rest of the players surprise, then I'd say the vast majority of players on the panel would have no objection to one of our grade a stand out performers in recent years being involved.

I'm thinking of the contribution Conor Harrison made to Down a few years back, and throughout history there are dozens of stories about late additions to squads.  Dermot Connolly bring another last year.

All about opinions I suppose.

if only ther was a full time administrator in Craggy Island Croke Park to clear this up! |Away to hide in a hedge and watch a match

As far as I know anyone who did not play at least one half for the county can strip out for their clubs for half a game. Something like that, but yes, a bit more definition would be good. Can't be leaving it up to players.

It's hard to get a good commentator these days

St Endas v LD has a penalty shoot out score  of 6 - 5.  Were any Co players allowed to play? Or was it 2 defensive teams playing

Creggan v Rossa not much better

Cunningham played a half and Crozier played the match. Very strange the week of a game. What is the rule? Just a case by case basis?

[bannside]

Its a good question. The real danger is if you are on the squad somewhere between 20 and 30 you could easily get caught up in no man's land. No ball time for club or county.

I think the players themselves know where they stand on this, and when to play and when not to. Its a thin line though and I can't see the county stepping in and making anything compulsory.

Another good result for St Brigids. Still early days I guess to tell but they look to have improved at least.

[bannside]

No doubt ITG. Big strong team, well drilled....underestimate them at your peril!

[imtommygunn]

Anyone else's stream froze?

Go on paddy ye boy ye. Great win. Would have been nice to see it too given I paid for it.
