Let them get on with what exactly hedge?
Approximately 240 club players won't be getting on with anything Friday night
Try telling the club players who have been training from the first week of April to let them just get on with it.

A perfectly good Friday for football is being passed up on. Now 9 matches will be squeezed into 5 weeks for those other 240 club players. All of this just to suit a handful of players.

I think you mean drivel.

But please continue.
Riveting stuff.

Whats a chuckyned?

Dribble vs. drivel
One definition of drivel is senseless talk or content. Dribble's main noun definition, outside sports, is a small, unsteady stream. The words almost converge where drivel, in a secondary sense,means to slobber or drool (drool being a sort of small, unsteady stream), and this perhaps has something to do with dribble sometimes being used in place of drivel in the senseless talk sense. The mixup is common, but the words are generally kept separate in edited writing.

Lol, this discussion board has hit an all time low.

Hearing all league games are pulled on Friday night. No official notification yet though.

Why are they called off?

12 teams in first and second division (or so i'm lead to believe). Home and away draws meaning 22 games per team this season . There were 15 games per team last year and there was bother getting these games fitted into the schedule. Gonna be tight going.

What is the defence for multiple championship games? I really think it takes away from the whole thing as straight knock out produced some great matches. Seems to me that it is purely about money (from what I hear county takes the admission fees) and so that Down is well represented in Ulster. It doesn't give the "smaller clubs" a better chance as it would take a  very strong squad to be able to win 6 games in a row with the chance of having to beat the same team twice, it pretty much means the competition is a non-event until the quarter final as the chance of a surprise is very small. Just elongating an already long season to no avail.

Having a go at a club for having poor facilities. What a f**king snob.

LOL thanks for that, not having a go at the poor facilities merely acknowledging more of the posts from earlier. More of having a go at the county board who could maybe step in and help them out with facilities who I know have helped other clubs who pushed for it.

This fixture/Appeals craic has summed up Down GAA this year, a match replayed on a Monday at 7, couple of championship games at 2 on Saturday, never mind people getting back from work, sure Burren have it anyway probably, no point stressing over the lower half. These replays are also not fair, both times Glenn were beat (my opinion) and now because of this "we all must fight" mentality which has been displayed twice they get a second bite at the cherry and would probably beat both ballyholland and annaclone now going by current form. I'm sure Glenn people will jump to their defence but if the tables had been turned and you's faced relegation i'm sure you'd feel cheated. As for the Glenn facilities they are dreadful and they do effect visiting teams preparation, there are poorer clubs out there who have much better facilities but only the county board can sort that out so it won't be sorted out in reality.

A seriously highly charged game, players and management clearly knew each other at a personal level. Referee should have shown more yellow cards to calm everything down lads don't go in so heavy when they might get a sending off. Despite the scuffles on field it was a good game of football until the last 5 minutes. I was seriously disappointed with the Glenn bench, any form of righteousness they had was lost when 10-15 men charged onto the field a more experienced management would have calmed their players down and dealt with the matter themselves. Alot of big hits between the two teams, don't think there was one saint on the field of play but that's all part of it. the rest was just handbags
