There definitely seems to be a very high percentage of reserve games get called off. My own club had many games cancelled on us.

Hopefully something can be done to address whatever the problem is, because the absence of reserve football leaves a massive jump between minor football and senior football.

The idea of playing reserve fixtures on same day (Sundays) as senior game, just doesnt work for a majority of clubs.Reserve Games on a Friday and leave them be. To be fair , CCC have tried U19 / U20 but buy in has been poor.
When minor moves back to U18, will help but Id suggest, final year minors are allowed to play Senior Reserves.

Story of the opening round must be St Brigid's beating Aghagallon. First real test for them and passed it. Think, if I'm not mistaken, that could mean a potential Cargin vs Aghagallon QF if Cargin top their group and Aghagallon end up 2nd in their group.

There were a few ' beatings' dished out at Aghagallon !

I find it difficult to believe that Hugely advanced beings could fly from distant stars, through vast space and time to visit our little planet and when they get here they f**king crash!

I find it amazing how these sighting are almost exclusively confined to the USA.
c***ts are f**king mental.

There does seem to be an unhealthy amount of 'sightings' in the US comparative to the rest of the world

And around Boyle in Roscommon. Something to do with the metallic compass of the earth around there apparently.

Always a lot around Boyle. Never saw one myself but Uncle told me his whole farm was lit up one night with one.



Maybe it was this

Both MG and St Endas both down after tonites result? Even if St Endas win last game, Randalstown have better H2H and point difference. Table also currently has MG below Randalstown, I know they won a game a piece, does H2H point difference come into play?

Yeah I think so
1 win each
Mg won theirs by 3
Randalstown won theirs by 2

As I said earlier, I think
Will be open to correction on someone more up on the rules

TNN definitely need a point to pip MG as on  Head to Head , MG are ahead off TNN.

No McGuigan?

McGuigan is top class no doubt, but he had a quiet QF and that mis-hit free at the end of the SF will probably go against him in Allstar terms.
But I agree that he's probably in the argument for one of top forwards in country (as was Paddy Bradley for years).
But with Kerry and Dublin in the final, I've no doubt that's where the bulk of forwards would come from. For me the 2 players who were most consistent for Derry in QF/SFs (which is really all they look much at for allstars) are mckinless and rogers.

In terms of deserving, I'd have Mcloskey, Mckinless, Rogers, McGuigan, Glass and McKaigue on the allstar team, but that'll never happen.

I don't believe that McGuigan mis hit the last free! I'm sure that  the ref spoke to him that it was the last kick off the game , so a point was his only option. Mc Guigan made a signal to another player to say as much

At least one of McManus's points came directly from a goalkeeping misadventure
I've watched it back. He was fouled twice coming out with the ball.

I've made this point previously,  Ethan Rafferty offers more to the team at no.11 , than he does at no.1!  He's been turned over , way too far from goals , has made a few errors under the high ball...do the team feel confident with him in goals as compared to a 'full- time' GK ? Far better footballer than GK !

Very disappointed in the performance on Saturday.
We always seem to have those flat performances in us and we seem to be waiting for someone else to be a game changer (particulary around the middle 8).

Myler did as good as anyone has on P Clifford.
Surprised R Canavan was hooked.
McShane still looks off the pace.

Overall Kerry were much the superior team but we let them play - I would have loved to have seen how they reacted if we had a right cut at them.
They matched fire with fire and that seemed to put us off.

CP was full of pissheads on Saturday - one county seemed to have the majority of them but then again that may have been because they had the majority of supporters there. No county can claim to be angels here mind you.

It is a major problem for cship games - stewards need to start refusing permission

Conor Meyler was continually fouled , even when the match was  long over - cynical behaviour .

Tyrone midfield, which should be one of their advantages, turning it over very sloppily a good few times.

Being by passed ...not in it  at all

Some clubs now regretting that they voted to get rid of the Relegation play offs.

The CCC planned on one team being relegated from Div 1 and no one promoted from Div 2., same for Div 2 & 3!

Are Dunloy down or is it just St Pats Lisburn ?
Bottom 2 relegated , 1 team promoted as outlined by All- Saints delegate in February

I see Ahoghill v Creggan was replayed this afternoon.
4 point win for Creggan. I thought that Creggan caused the abandonment of the original  game .

Was not a replay.......
Cheers for update , so original game outcome stood

bottom 5 of the div 1 at the minute with top 3 in division 2 would make two very good leagues

In all that time of our success I think we won the league once. Now you can take from that what you want but the league has its uses but no one is getting open top buses in the back of them.
After two discussions, in February, it was agreed that two teams relegated and one promoted , with a review of league structures
in September. Three clubs don't like that outcome because it doesnt suit them. They didn't even consider or reference any team in Div 2  being impacted @ e.g. Dunloy - massively impacted in football.
4 leagues of 8 would be best solution for CCC , in terms of fixtures.
