There's been a whiff of the Tyrone championship about this year's SFC (at least since the rubbish back door nonsense ended anyway ).

Here's hoping for a surprise end winner too.

In what way ? It feels like another procession

I merely asked a question.
And you answered as you saw fit. Didnt really answer the question ,mind you but how and ever.
I didnt realise that in order to share opinions and views on here you had to have a medal-laden football career.

And he never got an Allstar in 2010, but he did win a sigerson cup with St Marys.....just to put the record straight.

I agree with you on this brick , a solid if unspectacular player for both club and county .for anyone saying Legend .... Behave 

Not sure what the gripe about the current championship system is . Saval or rostrevor will most likely win intermediate and therefore be in senior next year . An riocht were probably the weakest team in the senior this year and will most likely play intermediate next year .

Basing it on the league this year Saul and Glenn would have been intermediate next year . They have both won it in the past 3 years . If a team is good enough to play senior then win the intermediate . Using a league competition where teams lose their county players for half of it is hardly a fair reflection on their ability to compete in a competition where they have all players available

10 minutes in and with 15 behind the ball, Longstone still score easily twice - what masterclass strategy from Poacher and the new Down coach Clarke.

This aged well 🙄

The only way to be promoted to a championship above your current grade is to win your current grade . The only way to get relegated is to lose in the relegation playoffs in each championship grade . League positions are irrelevant as far as I'm aware

So tonight the championship properly starts. Magpies v the yellas. With McConvilles broken jaw in the league meeting a few weeks ago it should add spice.

Other game of any significance is Burren v Bridge, old rivals but they are no longer rivals, Burren are well ahead of them. The dream team club management on paper of Clarke and Poacher has been very underwhelming for the Bridge.

If the big two avoid each other it's the perfect final.

Properly starts you reckon ....

Both teams at it last night . No innocent parties . It's a very toxic atmosphere at them games

Both teams had players who were 'at it' as you say.

But I think it should be said that the young fella who probably had the most reason to go out last night and start a row showed the rest of them how it should be done. Was marking the lad that hit him a few weeks ago and did it hard and fair and just marked him out of the game. No low blows, no dirt, no sledging.

That's how it should be done.

Players need to be reminded that's its football if they want thuggery go take up MMA or something. They're no use to a football team looking on from the sidelines.

Agree totally , this pushing and shoving nonsense off the ball and the verbals is just embarrassing to watch. From the throw up Burren tried to get a reaction last night and they got it and then stood up to it . They won the battle , wars just starting though . Burren men behind me shouting at a kilcoo lad on the ground that they hoped his leg was broke . Not much class about either club

Based on the fact I believe division 2 isn't that strong this year and no one has walked away with it . Also based on the fact there will be very few weak teams in division 1 next year . Happy to be proved wrong btw , just an opinion

Can't see either team from division 2 surviving next year . The stone may have a chance because teams not enjoying playing there but I'd suggest that ballyholland and whoever the last team to come down is , are stronger than any of the current division 2 teams. 

Cheers lads. Should have said its a new build so digging up the garden is no hassle as there is no garden yet. Thing holding me back was the cost of the tank itself.

Are heat pumps a viable option yet?

Air source heat pumps in conjunction with solar panels and plenty of insulation and air tightness is a viable option

I am just after grabbing a coffee in Brennans and I was told that wee James will be put forward by county management to the county board tonight to be county senior manager 2023.

This was from you just over a week ago . There are bound to be easier ways to get attention ....

I get that entirely , but also not all good county players become good managers either. I'd said only interested parties would be nominated too so not asking anyone to leave a team that didn't want to  . Maybe it was an ideal world suggestion but I genuinely would like to know how it currently works

It should be someone with a good record of working with youth teams of a similar age at either club or county level. Surely clubs who had interested parties could nominate someone and then begin a whittling down process based on results and reports etc . There would always be a few delusional characters putting their names forward but surely these could be quickly weeded out by a panel and use an interview process for the final 10 names .

Is the main way we get these managers currently through them being involved in the county underage setups?

[So you came back stronger but have been beat in first round many many times 🤔🤔]

Also that's complete and utter nonsense about guys doing as much in the gym 20 years ago . On the pitch maybe but it was mostly daft training , it's now much more quality coaching and less laps . Whatever you may say about the younger generation now you definitely cannot lay lacking condition at most of them . 20 years ago people gained 1/2 stone in the off season . There is no off season now

I Didn say we were beat many many times in consecutive years.
Mayb guys in your club weren't doing much in the gym 20 years ago but in CPN they certainly were. Remember 20 years ago Armagh won an all Ireland with a team of monsters who set the bar high in terms of conditioning. The usual stuff happened with the club scene thinking they shud be doing what county teams are doing. The gym sessions might not have been as structured and professionally laid out as they are nowadays but they were effective. And as for laps - more All Irelands were won with them than without them despite all the bullshit overpriced sports science gurus and what they say.

I can't debate with an old bitter man/woman/other set in his/her/their ways and loves a bit of back in my day type talk  . Things move on , sport  evolves , kids nowadays train smarter and mostly harder and more often than in the past   . In 20 more years they will be doing something different.
