Fermanagh Football & Hurling

[haranguerer]

I think its just that this board is full of cynical smartarses who pour scorn on everything that any other county does, and begrudge all success that isn't their own i.e its representative of irish society.
Well, f**k the begrudgers!
On another note, it pisses me off that my swear words are censored - I'm an adult for fucks sake. It did it again. f**k f**k, fuckity f**k. f**k the f**king f**kers. Bastards. c***ts. Aha!!

[FermPundit]

I read in the Fermanagh Herald today that the Corner Bar in Enniskillen has been re-painted in green and white in preparation for the Ulster Final. Fair play to them. Is there much happening in the other towns in the county with regards bunting, flags etc? I would like to think most towns will make a good effort. It's not often we get to finals after all!

[ExiledGael]

Was driving by St Tiernach's Park today and noticed all the exterior walls at the road end have been painted green, coincidence? When was that done? Don't think I've been to a match in Clones yet this year.
The Orangies are leading the battle for colour in the county so far from what I've seen, not the Armagh ones.

[haranguerer]

I got a look into the ground itself, and the pitch is green too. The signs are all there.

Well i have not said to much about the summer league but it really not been taking seriously by many clubs and the county board are also treating it with the same disdain.
Midweek games on a Tuesday and a Wednesday.  One in Roslea and the other in Belleek.  I am sure all teams have Belfast or Dublin based players.
Thats means some of the players will do well to be home for midnight.  That just is unacceptable.
Then i see they is a Div 2 game fixed for Friday night between Kinawley and Aughadrumsee.   Take it the county players will not be involved, so that will put Kinawley at a distinct disadvantage.  Wonder why they have decided to play that one??

It seems to me that the club player has been sacrificed for the good of the county.  I have no problem with that but if Fermanagh win on Sunday I would guess you might get a round or 2 of league fixtures in and  first round of the championship played before the players are withdrawn again.  If they get beat, the qualifers are in 2 weeks and that means at least a 3 week wait until the leagues/championship resumes.  Either way i think the club player in fermanagh will be looking at games in October and November.

With regards the Kinawley/Aughadrumsee re-fixture, the County Board said that it has to be played before the Ulster Final otherwise both sides will get zero pts. I'm not sure whether Doherty will play or not but there were rumours that he'll be allowed too.....Bogue is injured anyway. As you say FermGael the interests of the Club player are being ignored. On another note, what about the prices of all this Fermanagh merchandise?!! Seems to me your paying well over the odds for stuff....maybe I'm just tight but they are still selling polo shirts from 04 in shops and charging about 25 quid!

[FermPundit]

I heard that the wee flags for the car cost something like £8. I certainly won't be buying them if those prices are being charged.

[FermGael]

Seen those polo shirts from 04.  you can get them on line for £20 at the gaastore.  the new ones cost £29.
The big problem with the gear is it is from Gaelic gear.  Was in the supporters shop over the weekend and have to say liked the look of the new drill top.
Was told that it was sold out and they had no idea when they would be getting more in.
Was told they was a huge demand for stuff but Gaelic gear could not keep up.
Fermanagh should head back to O'Neills asap.
As for Sunday, quietly confident.  Have never heard so many people talking about Gaelic within the county which can only be good.
O'Rourke's team selection will be interesting and i think he will have a surprise or 2.

there are a serious amount of flags and bunting in Teemore and Derrylin, they have done the County proud!

Town center is being done
As for giving a hand, there are enough chiefs as it is.  they would not want any more

Would it have anything to do with the fact that Fermanagh is beside Cavan and the old purse strings are very tight, your county is in the ulster final decorate the town, cars, basically anything

[Erne Gael]

Whats the story with the club scene now. What clubs have qualified for the knock out stages of the Summer League? are clubs still training away, challenge matches etc?
