I was a neutral spectator at last nights derby match between Drumquin & Aghayarn, the game itself was a hard hitting end to end game which was great to watch. But I can't help feel that the best team was robbed by some shocking refereeing. When you award a 45 and then change it to a 3 up breach it can't be fair, this ultimately ended up as a 2 point score to level the game. And also the ball was clearly left by the Drumquin corner back, I was standing directly behind that goal and it was a wide ball all day long.

Overall if Drumquin had of won this game by 7/8 points I don't think anyone could have had any hard feelings however Aghayarn with there experience in intermediate football kept a hold of the game and ultimately gained a point. Drumquin will see it as an opportunity missed given the situation they found themselves (4 points up going into injury time) & the fact Aghayarn were missing some key players. But what I would say is one of the better referees in Tyrone (sparky) definitely cost the tones a point.

Welcome to the Board Noel Donnelly

Took myself down to Owen Roes and Coalisland, Baffles me that young Tiarnan Quinn didnt get more game time at the county . He will terrorise defensives in Div 2 this year. 

How many forwards would be like that though? Luke Donnelly Eglish, Conor Owens Beragh, McCullagh Lough, Cassidy Donaghmore etc. Would say there's plenty of ones around the same level as him but that might be harsh on Quinn. Can't say I watch Coalisland religiously

See your point, that has been our problem as a few years within the county we have too many similar players. Conor Owens Beragh is a brilliant player, real senior championship calibre of player unfortunate for him hes stuck at beragh no disrespect intended just thinks hes a better standard of player than where he will likely play his football majority of his career (DIV 2/3). Work with a lad from Beragh was telling me hes worried about the upcoming year he can see them going down which i was shocked at, maybe more going on he didnt want to tell me but we all know Div 3 the bedrock can be a tough place to climb out of.

Beragh alot closer to promotion than relegation - would take an awful lot to be going wrong for them to be anywhere near relegation with the team they have and the Youth that is coming through.

Last year if they lost their final league game against Cookstown they were down..

Mcf ferry is alleged to have called the Armagh subs 'orange British cnuts'. If that's true, then he deserves every belt that he got and more. He was heavily involved in the row in the league game in Letterkenny a few years ago and has history in Donegal with disgusting comments to opponents in club football. He needs to clean up his act. Celebrate the victory with your own and have a wee bit of class and dignity when winning.

Maybe a reference there to our county colours?  There's something odd about labelling our south Armagh brethren British.  Try walking into a pub in Crossmaglen and saying that.

He should head up to the three steps inn, Dromintee and share that sentiment with the locals.

Kerry seem to have no clue how to break down a defence

Antrim play league games at 7pm on Wednesday night's. 

Who gives a fiddlers about Antrim football its pure dirt, our Div 3B teams would win their div 1 league.

Yeah maybe but I'm just saying they play games on a Wednesday evening. Every year in here people are crying about the times of games,  the dates of games, the travelling involved.  Do you want to  play or not is my question. If it doesn't suit, then take up something else, it's a very simple choice

So screw the players and do nothing to accommodate them having lives? Also you do know the leagues in Antrim mean sweet FA... suppose we should follow that model to. You can choose what championship you are in regardless of how well you done the previous year, another Antrim innovation we should look at.

Andor season 2 is absolutely brilliant.

Has any school ever done a clean sweep of dalton to macrory in the one year?

Refs are humans they make mistakes, but Ulster colleges going and changing the score on the twitter seemed a bit sneaky.

Most likely explanation is that whoever was doing it assumed they were wrong and were simply following the incorrect update to the scoreboard, rather than something more nefarious, no?

True, I am perhaps being cynical

Refs are humans they make mistakes, but Ulster colleges going and changing the score on the twitter seemed a bit sneaky.

Big mix up in the Oisin mc grath, general consensus was cbs won, ref had it down as a draw, going to a replay. Ulster colleges twitter had the score down as cbs winning then went back and changed it.

I do like most of the rules changes. 2 points for a free though is one which should go IMO

It has to stay as long as the 2 pointer is there or else it rewards fouling a good 2 point shooter outside the arc.

Fixture dates out for the league, predominately Sunday fixtures for the first few rounds of senior and intermediate.

What is the breakdown of senior, intermediate and junior clubs on that panel?

Wouldn't be hard to work out, if you wanted to know.

Think Marty34 is being sarcastic, lots of talented, untapped potential in Div2 and high end Div3 but never given a trial let alone a chance

Who? What division 3 players are county standard? What division 2 players which haven't been given a chance are there?

What do the GPA want? Do all players currently not get a grant of a few grand per year?
