Beragh with 28 players at their collective gym sessions from 2/3 weeks prior to Christmas. Great turn out to say the least regarding their low population. Everyone buying in to it. Heard a few teams in the East have been running the roads together. That's the thing now with club football most players aren't going out to become better at football, its more that everyone is looking after themselves.

Can we really sit here and say thats a joke? Its not like teams are training on the pitch 2/3 nights a week like they will be soon. People on here are not with the times at all.

Collective training organised by the management team 5-6 months before the league starts is a joke, people wonder why so many young players are getting out of the game, it is unreasonable to expect players to make that kind of commitment to play club football. I have worked with a lot of so called top managers, most of them work on a minus 6 week rule, they get the players together 6 weeks before the date of the first game, that's not to say they don't advocate the players getting together 6-8 weeks before that to do gym and/or running sessions, so lets just say 3 months in total, but this carry on of getting collective training in place 5 months before a ball is kicked is a joke.
Hunger and enjoyment are 2 vital ingredients, you can't have hunger if you are doing it every week, enjoyment goes out of it when you are doing it every week, it becomes a chore, that's the last thing you want as a manager. Quality not quantity...most players nowadays are looking after themselves physically, so you're not starting off with men coming back 2-3 stone overweight like back in the day, when people realise that you have to have enjoyment and hunger, they'll see better results, only team that should be training collectively in Tyrone at the present is Clogher, fair play to them!

The last communication from the CB, as far as I know, is that with 7 starred games year a mid April start is possible. Minus 3 months and that's this week.

Part of the problem is that teams have no idea when Week One is.

County convention said season would start in May as clubs had no desire for change that would lead to an earlier start.

What changes would give an earlier start that aren't applicable for May?

Including the U20's in the starred game system where the starred games go ahead without the county U20's and seniors would solve a lot of the problems, it's the U20's that held up the league last year and likely to this year too

Charlie smyth the hero again. Great stuff. The red zone on sky is loads of fun to watch as all the matches near a finish it becomes absolute chaos. I know the colts have had some injuries but f#ck me have they just blown up after a great start to the season

Serious balls shown by Smyth to nail that one at the end. Does it earn him a full time spot on the roster? He can't play any more games now unless they put him on the full time roster

Why did Beagan insist on hitting the kickouts out to the sideline, even when they did win it there was no way out

Rosnowlagh on a quiet day is a great beach

Who won the Antrim U16 football championship this year?

Where has McIlroy went?

Yes is 7 started games next year

It was definitely Claregalway is 2013, they beat Bellaghy in the final, beat Ballyboden in semi who narrowly beat Dromore

Claregalway were the 2013 Feile champions
