Yes Cloneman, setanta sports is available in the 6 counties but unfortunately Setanta Ireland is not... Which channel are we on saturday? Ireland or sports?

Totally agree B Man their unreal, how many county men do cross currently have??, would there be any club side in Down able to run Armagh close for talks sake?? Probably not... Maybe Burren or the Bridge.. Although I think couple of years ago Kilcoo played the Ulster Railway cup team after they won the Down championship didnt they and only lost by 8/9points?? Would I be right Mid Down Gael?? Maybe it was more not sure

[u r a clown]

u r a clown see last line
POR has done more for down football than u could ever dream of doing.  Because he celebrated a winning score he cant call himself a down man again?!?  Perhaps he is a man under pressure this year, perhaps he thinks a good positive start to the year is essential for how the rest of the year is going to go.  It was apparant that Armagh were looking at this game in a more serious light than down, hence his celebration at the end.  He has a job to do with Armagh, let him get on with it and anything he does with them shouldnt detract from what he did for down.

Your almost certainly right that he has done more than I ever will but as a loyal supporter I am fully entitled to my opinion as much as you are. Maybe por should remember what Down done for him and the profile it give him to strike up a successful business in the county... There is respect and dignity you have when certain situations arise in the game, his celebration in last years national league final was again over the top.. maybe he should look at the way our current manager conducts himself,with respect and dignity and it was in great evidence after we beat kerry and kildare none of this fist pumping and jumping in the air which o rourke showed plenty of on the last two occassions we have met.. Unfortunately no I dont work in a circus or at childrens parties whitegoodman 

Ladies and gentlemen dont fret.. its the middle of january.. lot of work to do and it will be done! Come the end of May I have no doubt we ll win comfortably, there is more tactical know how in wee james left boot than there is in o rourke and his whole managerial outfit... Plus him celebrating on the line at the end when Armagh got the winning score was completely embarrassing and def over the top, he ll have some cheek to ever call himself a Down man again.

Yes absolutely shocking news and Puts things into perspective for some of the clowns on here..

John is a lovely fella and a great down gael and my thoughts and prayers are with both families.

[Sean O'Hare who is an excellent trainer and is taking armagh at the minute]

Yeah big ward has been with them from the start and has had some good men with him through the years - paddy o'rourke for one, Sean O'Hare who is an excellent trainer and is taking armagh at the minute  , Ronan Mc Govern has been there and done that as a player and Tony mc ardle who was also part of the senior set up this year to name but a few.  These are all good men to have about the place and can pass on their experiences to the players.
i think next years championship will be a four horse race - Burren, Kilcoo, Bridge and Ford.. these 4 teams are absolutely miles ahead of the rest in the county.  Clonduff are an accident waiting to happen at allstages - they score goals by the bagful but conceed them aplenty as well.. Kingdom need to sort out their psycho manager before they can be taking seriously - the man is a lunatic on the line and games against Burren, and Clonduff last season were a disgrace on his behalf.  Rostrevor are a strange team and should be winning all the time but cant keep the players interested - but as i have said before - maybe Colgan can get the best outta them - the stone could be dark horses if they get their act together... But the top 4 are the aforementioned...

Thought that was Mike Mc Gurns job alba??

Know what they say Sean, self praise is no praise   

Everyone seems to be missing the point.... with a team like that named it gives our Paddy a wee chance  ... things will be tight enough with 10/15 to go, Clarke, Coulter and Mc Kernan fucked on and we win by 7 or 8.. No disgrace in the result for poor wee St Marys and Paddy... Everyone goes home happy 

Its the Mc Kenna cup for f**k sake.. for bonny, duggan et al it will be the biggest game of their lives.. maybe the cynics and critics could let those lads enjoy it rather than slate them when half of you have never even seen these lads play... I wish all the young lads making their senior debuts all the best. Great to see freshness cause there is still an awful lot of dead wood still floating around that panel.

Anyone know if that above U21 trial went ahead today??

[RTE won't comment on Galvin criticism Kerry's Paul Galvin 21 December 2010RTE have refused to respond to criticism of 'The Sunday Game' by Kerry star Paul Galvin.Galvin and Kerry team-mate Tomas O Se were handed retrospective bans by the CCCC last summer after incidents involving them were highlighted by the long-running GAA programme. The suspensions are still a sore point in Kerry where it is believed that 'The Sunday Game' panellists are having too much of an influence on disciplinary matters.Speaking on 'The Late, Late Show' last Friday night, Galvin referred to RTE's flagship GAA programme as 'CSI: Sunday Game'.

Whats peoples view on this guy? After seeing the Late Late show on Friday past he has confirmed my beliefs about him.

This is obviously a clear dig at Tohill and proper order too... This trial by tv has got to stop in my opinion.. Dont know why the Sunday Game persist in using Tohill anyway, he is so mundane and dreary its unreal.

Fair play to Galvin, a superb footballer who gets seriously unfair criticism.

Kerry's Paul Galvin
21 December 2010


RTE have refused to respond to criticism of 'The Sunday Game' by Kerry star Paul Galvin.

Galvin and Kerry team-mate Tomas O Se were handed retrospective bans by the CCCC last summer after incidents involving them were highlighted by the long-running GAA programme. The suspensions are still a sore point in Kerry where it is believed that 'The Sunday Game' panellists are having too much of an influence on disciplinary matters.



Speaking on 'The Late, Late Show' last Friday night, Galvin referred to RTE's flagship GAA programme as 'CSI: Sunday Game'. But when contacted yesterday, the national broadcaster refused to comment on the matter.

Galvin, who is the subject of documentary to be screened on RTE over the Christmas period, told presenter Ryan Tubridy: "CSI: Sunday Game I like to call it.

"Well it's more like CSI something, it just seems to be a crime scene investigation every weekend. I don't know what's going on there.

"I don't have any hang-up on the programme, I don't watch the show to be quite honest."

When asked if he respected the views of 'The Sunday Game' panellists, the 2009 Footballer of the Year said: "I don't necessarily need the lads sitting in the studio to tell me what's what with the game. There are certain guys there, (Dara) O Cinneide I played with. O Cinneide was my captain when I won my first All-Ireland - obviously I respect Dara.

"Colm O'Rourke - I was a big fan of the Meath team. I like my teams like that Meath team in the late '80s, they were manly. I respect O'Rourke.

"Pat Spillane is Pat Spillane - he's a Kerry man, one of the greatest players of all time."

Yes, heard Declan Morgan is now a selector in the Pete Mc Grath Minor Management team for 2011.

PJ Mc Gee is an excellent appointment for saval, not sure if he has the resources to challenge at the top but certainly will keep them in Division 1.

Any other news on the managerial front, its been pretty quiet this year??

PJ MC GEE new saval manager? Can anyone confirm ??

Lookin down the list maybe Benny, Martin Clarke and Declan Rooney could do with a break.. Play a completely new 15 and lets see what they have... This is a make or break year for a lot of these guys..

The likes of Peter Fitzpatrick, Aidan Carr, Kevin Anderson who have been around the panel for a while now need to really step up to the mark.. Unfortunately if they dont they could find themselves out in the cold..

Not sure if young Paul Devlin and young Paul Mc Polin are up to this level of football just yet unfortunately... Two great talents but not senior inter county level. Am I right in thinking their both still U21 this year ??

All in all looking forward to seeing us back in action!
