".....and, for me, the most important thing is our domestic football."

A quote from MON's press conference yesterday. Says it all really. A board puppet.

Quote from: Duine Inteacht Eile on August 30, 2026, 11:21:21 PMThe end of the handpassed point is a massive positive.
Why?
Actually see the fisted point as a skill .

If it's done away with, a defenders job will be a lot easier.

Quote from: bannside on August 30, 2026, 07:57:30 AMLol..easy horse I have trouble chairing myself at times!

Just to complete this theory if adopted theres 6 more clubs now adding value to what would now become a very competitive Intermediate cship. Clubs 11 to 20 in intermediate, same format as above.

Ultra competitive. Bigger gates. Better team representing us in Ulster club.

Clubs 21 and below into Junior.

Ratings based on finishing league position the year before.

Keeps club league games competitive too.



Interesting concept BS.

Could you really use league the year before? Would teams not complain they have men in with county teams and U20's etc.?

I wouldn't be sure on the two legs either.

Quote from: Brendan on August 29, 2026, 06:41:53 PMCahir McMonagle making a case for a recall to the Derry panel
Had decent game yes but Derry is a bit of a stretch.
The lad he was marking probably doesn't start if Swatragh had full team out added to the fact they were miles off the fitness required.

The issue with the good forwards in Steelstown team, Mc Monagle, Mc Carron, Deery is they look really sharp and clinical until someone goes to the limit physically then they tend to go missing a bit. Although tonight was a good starter to settle them in.

I would reserve judgement until he's picked up by Clucky, Forbes, Mulholland, Warnock and players of that calibre.


We had a good 'discussion' recently after the Swatragh V SN league game a few weeks ago. Looks like I was proved right. A double figure 11 pt hammering.

Your 'analysis', as usual, is way off the mark. 
Look Marty its all about winning, Steelstown really went at them from the start.
Fantastic analysis for a team to seem to prioritise winning in competitive sport.

Swatragh gave away stupid line ball mid way through second half if they had got a score there would have been 3 points in it, Steelstown went straight up the pitch got a goal to make it 7. That flattered them for what was a poor second half when an actual competitive game seemed to be on.

Can you go to and stick to posts about DUP woman buying clothes or Glasgow Celtic instead of coming here with you wee huffy posts?


Lol.


But thanks for checking out my other posts on....a discussion board.  8)

Were they playing soccer?

Multiple on holidays as far as I know



Ok. Not great, in fairness, to have holidays booked in late August if playing senior club football.

Quote from: Stickman on August 28, 2026, 10:02:57 AMMore of a challenge game than a championship game last night. Lavey will be about come the end of the championship but at what point do they switch the keeper, the only real weak spot last night
Regan should be back before next day out

Was he not back up for county this year? Strange that he's not starting.


Bit of an injury

Newbridge come up with key ball and scores, just things teams of that caliber do. Kilrea done well enough defensively in patches but Newbridge would be happy enough with them wild 2s kielt and others were taking on
you think they be happy enough?
You don't think they would be worried that a team or higher quality kick 2 or 3 of them an that changes everything?
I've a feeling Brady and Hetherington would be highlighting the number of shots that got off from edge of 2 point arc.

Hard to even remember how well they were contested but aye they definitely got them away alright. Newbridge were able to curtail McGuigan and McGonagle from range last year so I do think they can mix up the way they defend. Dont think they will be getting Callum McGrogan back anytime soon but S Young and a couple others seem close enough

I think they will be happy enough. Dirty diesel blew out and management have a stick to bate them with for the next round. Few of those others back for the next round to strengthen them again

Correct. Ideal match for them. All about winning. Move on and get set for the next game.

Plenty to work on. As I say, ideal position for management. Early days I know but for Newbridge to do three-in-a-row, it would be some achievement.

Quote from: marty34 on August 23, 2026, 04:15:11 PMI wonder when will RTÉ start showing club games on a Saturday night?

Have a look at their website. Not a word about club football or hurling. It must be part of their ongoing and ridiculous protest against the split season.

Ideally RTE gets no GAA games. Give them to TG4 or Virgin. RTE's coverage over the years has been atrocious and is getting worse.

Did they not do games last year on a Saturday evening?


Maybe they'll wait until it gets to the county finals and provincial knockout games.


It was great sitting in front of the fire on a Saturday night watching them.

DUP Mayor clothing probe.

That council, under her stewardship must have been some farce. Seems as if she was very big buddy of the DUP.


Armagh woman too. Big money job that in charge of council.
