Quote from: Goals_Will_Come on Today at 12:26:48 PMI wouldn't be so sure. They're not a level about the other 2-3 teams kicking about the top of D3. Going from 3 to 2 is tough. Fintona are a good D3 team at the min, but not exceptional by any grasp of the imagination.Quote from: clubman21 on Today at 12:21:05 PMFintona would stay up.Quote from: clarshack on Today at 12:07:28 PMBe very suprised if any teams coming up from Junior stayed up in 2024, gap seems as big as I can ever recall. Stewartstown coming up were unlucky to go down in the first place following the covid reshuffle. Strabane lost one game in that junior league and went down this year with a stand alone win.Quote from: square_ball on Today at 11:58:44 AMQuote from: clarshack on Today at 10:49:20 AMQuote from: square_ball on Today at 08:21:58 AMHopefully Stewartstown recover from that bad beating they got last night and don't go the way Strabane did this year.
They won't and will likely be back in Junior 2025.
Derrylaughan had began to rack up big scores in their last 2-3 league games, think even Kildress got a right hiding from them but it's always very difficult to come back from a championship hiding like last night.
The final I'd like to see is Clonoe v Pomeroy.
Ah I only said it in jest. Stewartstown are a solid Division 2 side and had a decent season considering they were on the go so late in the 2022 season. I'd be surprised if they ended up anywhere near junior for the foreseeable. They must have had a few injuries last night? I see Dan Lowe wasn't listed to start?
The bottom 3 in Division 2 this year were as bad as there's been for quite a while but it will be much tougher to stay up next year.
Strabanes problem is that, in Junior they had 40 odd men out training as they had a good chance of silverware, this year they were working of 15/20 as players didn't come out knowing it was a battle for safety rather than glory hunting.

Quote from: trailer on Today at 10:30:53 AMIt has a go, same old thing as 1916, ie no difference.Quote from: Applesisapples on Today at 10:11:55 AMQuote from: trailer on September 24, 2023, 12:42:49 PMSinn Féin's online army are flat outDon't sweat it, SF have gobshite followers just like every other party. Saw a clip from Shane Byrne, some times a good tune is just a good tune and 99% of people do not think of the meaning, same with up the ra. We get so worked upper songs ffs. They are just that and like most things in life everybody's taste is different.
Zombie is a good tune written as a reaction to Warrington which lets face it was reprehensible. What it does though IMO is expose the hypocrisy of the Good Ra/Bad Ra brigade in its reference to 1916. But you know pop stars are just that they often write stuff that doesn't stand up to the great poets and that is fie. It's a good tune.
What? How? I don't get ya.

Quote from: imtommygunn on Today at 10:26:58 AMQuote from: Milltown Row2 on Today at 10:06:51 AMHe's not actually admitting he's wrong, possibly the position he seen it was poorer to the umpires and they've given a different view on it.
To be fair, I think in the rule book he's not meant to change his decision once given.. strangely
I think in big televised games it would be smart to have the 4th 0fficail linked up to someone who can get quick replay information, to help with on field calls
I did wonder about that bit in bold.
