[wheres he takin er from]

wheres he takin er from - whats the feeling in the clonoe camp this week? no match last week due to the tragic loss but the rahillys must be in confident mood ahead of a trip to kildress?

Anybody know how Shane McMahon is getting on? Hope he is still on the mend.

I hear Shane is out of intensive care and the docs are happy with his progress but he has a long way to go.  That's what I hear but maybe someone else has more info.  Lets hope its true.

It's true. He's made great improvments this week. He is now awake and responsive. He still has a lot of healing to do but has made great progress this week.

Thats great to hear!!!!

its not fair the way the clubs are now dictated to-far from it-however, some clubs are better off than others in this respect!

Last year was farcical, Moy (4 county players) had to play against those with none such as Kildress, Trillick etc.

What exactly is your point? I don't understand - do you want teams like clonoe, kildress etc punished for not having county footballers? maybe these lads don't deserve football as some are not as good as the elite in the county and possibly some have been overlooked by the self important one!
as you can tell i prefer club football! i couldn't care less if tyrone lose two in a row and thats it for the year! even though i did enjoy all the all irelands i really don't have a craving for another one!

My point is that last year was a joke of a set up-this year is an even playing field where teams with county players missing will actually play other teams with county players missing. So no more Moy (-4) vs Kildress or Dromore (-4) vs kildress. It will be Dromore (-4) vs ardboe (-4/5).

No more handy points for those teams who have none! Out of interest, based on the opening 5 games of this season (or the whole of last season) which Kildress players do you fell Harte has overlooked?

I'm not saying anyone was overlooked i said that some players could believe they were overlooked but based on the last 4-5 years i would say that des tracey has been overlooked (his time has gone now obviously) possibly one or two others could have been squad players based on the ability of some in the panel but thats the way it goes. I also include other clubs in that surely clonoe would count themselves unlucky not to have had some players involved over this last few years. others too i'm sure!

I also didn't realise that these starred fixtures were being arranged opposed to being drawing out of a hat pot luck! but sure i welcome the fact that the county board has took it upon themselves to make it a 'level' playing field, after all i'm confident kildress have enough ability to stay up this year. we've even manage to  beat the magnificent moy in the past with all there wonderful players playing!

going by this year's league opener it could be a while before it happens again!


11 players-thats crazy!!

Good point...  judging by that game i imagine kildress will not beat moy anytime in the immeadiate future it was good while it lasted for us but looks like Moy will be the team to beat this year and in the future i imagine.

Kildress could realistically finish with zero points this year! what has happened them?

Kildress cookstown was an awful game... Cookstown were terrible Kildress were terrible! Cookstown brought puke football to a whole new level.... 13 men behind ball whole game Kildress dominated possession but couldn't get into any good scoring positions. Cookstown worked on the break and were rewarded with a couple of crucial goals. I have to say cookstowns play acting was disappointing and ginola going down like an Italian holding his face and getting Kildress man sent off was particularly difficult to watch. Is that were he got the name? It could be a long year for the tones i think.

Ginola is french 
Were you playing for the tones yesterday the blender??

The blender doesn't play GAA he just takes care of business out and about!

It was a very poor game RADA but to be fair the conditions were tricky. I was on the pitch for the reserve game and the wind was very deceiving. Made for a poor game. Cookstown are a better team than that. As for puke football......that was a consequence of the conditions in my opinion and not a strategy.
As for Ginola, did you see the incident or are you assuming by the Kildress players reaction that it was play acting??? From where i was i couldnt see it but the same kildress player was at it all day.

Well i'll possibly concede that conditions dictated the style of play - possibly the cookstown methods on the line gave them a clear advantage and thresold to better adapt their play whereas kildress seemed to have no Plan B.
As for the ginola incident i did see it he seemed to grab the kildress players hand/arm and the kildress player struggled with him to get loose again and there was minimal contact on the body and he went down clutching his face. But i know the kildress player does generally play on the edge in most games but it was no sending off i think. Plus how does the ref give a second yellow for it - its either a red or nothing at all i wonder how he can justify the yellow.
Anyway cookstown won end of story! it makes me sad!

[I doubt if we'll achieve any of the success that we achieved under recent managers with big ray at helm!]

Just on way home from Cavan. Dismal display. Richard Donnelly badly missed. Surely there must be better players in the county. Dissapointing to say the least. Aodhon O' Donnell should have possibly strengthened the panel tonight yet was not named on the panel.

Was just thinking there about what you said. Munroe seems to have a chip on his shoulder with kildress last year he overlooked two lads who were instrumental in getting the tones to a grade 1 championship final sighting that he was building for the future and they were last year men (incidentally both now playing good football for kildress in senior ranks). Then this year the oversight of conor mcaleer was absolutely shocking - peter canavan has given him rave reviews but munroe hd no time for him! There were also a couple of other good candidates but its his lost!
I think there should be someone more easy going and fair taking teams as important as minors! I doubt if we'll achieve any of the success that we achieved under recent managers with big ray at helm!

Was Raymond not the helm in 2008 ??

I have removed the message i stand corrected - long live Munroe!

Carmen and Kildress was a cracking game of football yesterday evening with some great passages of play from both sides. Kildress where missing a few but Carmens injury list is a shambles at the minute. I can count 8 of the senior squad out at present. So all in all Carrickmore would be happy with the result but more importantly it is the first time in a long time that they won a game that they should have lost. The forwards were a bit more physical this week in the tackle. Gaby was an animal about the middle again with Sparky back on form following his illness. There are problems in the forwards at the minute. But Kildress can count themselves very unlucky. A trojan second half from Fran Loughran, who was anonimous in the first brought them back into the game. Played at a high tempo with plenty of hits and very little niggle, it was well worth the admission fee.

good enough summing up i'd say! thought marty grimes had a good game for kildress also he was there when the pressure was on and was basically playing in midfield for the first time in his life. also thought carmen no 9 gave kildress untold problems in the first half who was he? he was given too much space thats for sure!

Kildress v Carmen was a good game last night - apart from the first 15 mins or so i think kildress were on top for most of the game but just couldn't get ahead at vital times. Carmen were missing a few - gormley, cunningham two i know of. Kildress were without there first choice midfield though tracey and mcgurk.
Carmen could of had 3 goals on the board in the opening 15 mins and then kildress finished strong rattling the cross bar, hitting the net just after a free was awarded and then missing a one on one chance which should have been finished which would have put them 4 up with 7mins to go however missed the chance and carmen equalised with the next attack.
Good level of performance from kildress and unlucky not get something from it but carmen just kept chipping away and home advantage and craft seemed to win it in the end.
