Our hurlers are under pressure after the failure of the camogs and footballers in their respective finals.  Hopefully they can do it. 

The pitch is going to be a huge issue for all of the hurling finals.  The senior final should be in Ballycran, it's supposed to be the showpiece of the year and they'll be playing on a ploughed field come Sunday afternoon.  That might suit johnneycool's lads though!  ;)

Any of you lads tried MyWhoosh app for indoor training?  I'm assuming it's not as good as Zwift?  The free version is grand for me, just wondered if if Zwift was worth paying for?!

Sarcasm doesn't come across well online!  Totally agree with you.

Well, it seems as if everything that could go wrong is going wrong.  Nobody saw this state of affairs coming down the track................

Absolute shitshow.

I don't envy whoever is co-ordinating fixtures and referees but they could do themselves a massive favour and do away with the group stage format for championship at juvenile level.  Maybe a back door option if a team loses their first game but no more than that.  Also having Plate, Shield, Cup and Championship is overkill. 

We had fellas playing football and hurling at 14's and 16's and as clonian has pointed out it the last couple of weeks of August and start of September were crazy.  Dual clubs are getting it tight.  I'm sure many would say just scrap one code but that would cause civil war within clubs!!  No easy answers.

He's a fat mess.  Got chased out of Middlesbrough last season after a disastrous loan spell and Sevilla terminated his contract at the end of the window cos no-one would pay a cent for him.  Probably an upgrade on Idah though................

What an absolute farce of a transfer window so far.  Something is completely rotten at Celtic (not just the football).

Lads have already said it but the next 7 days are crucial.  If Celtic qualify for the Champions League then better players will be easier to attract and the miserable hoors in the Board might open the biscuit tin.  If Celtic don't qualify then the Board will be content to stay ahead of Rangers at home, spend no money, lose the manager and it's back to square one!

Shots fired at the board by the manager in yesterday's interview. I think Nygren and Tierney are good additions to the squad but a good defensive (hard) midfielder is badly needed. Think the team will be ok up front (not counting Idah)! Lot of chat online about how terrible the squad is but I don't think it's too bad. Not by any means perfect though.

Great bunch of lads.

Champions again. Even that lazy big hoor Idah scored a couple yesterday! Good interview with the manager afterwards, hopefully the board back him over the summer.

This. Multiplied by 100.  Closely followed by Dame Laura who calls almost everything incorrectly.

Thanks for the info fellas.  Personally think it's mad introducing any of the new rules from under 16 down but what do I know?!

Does anyone know when the juvenile football leagues are due to start?  Is it correct that the new rules will be in use at under 14 level?

Quote from: bennydorano on February 18, 2025, 10:10:46 PMGreat performance, tactically perfect, had our chances, rode our luck at times, a pretty cruel finish but they really left it all on the pitch - not too often that actually happens.

I thought we were looking a bit gassed near the end myself, very understandable as everyone gave 100%.
Couldn't agree more. Having to bring Yang on shows the squad is still light. I'm sure the manager will be making that point to the board. A left back who can head the ball and tackle makes some difference.
