['strikes']

Ironically, that's how Cork got Lynch off the last time. Joe McQuillan (again) had reported him for 'striking', but Frank and co were able to show that he hadn't actually made contact with Donaghy, so technically he should have been sent off for 'attempting to strike', therefore he was let off on that technicality.

Common sense didn't seem to tog out that particular day.

A Cork player only 'strikes' in the late winter/early spring.

Who are the two ex-county players in the photograph?

I heard this afternoon that the Admission charges to the 1st round SFC games is £7.
Anyone confirm this as it seems a tad on the high side for single games?

so does anyone know the truth about the ogs v tirnanog championship match???

there seems to be alot of rumours

I thought it was explained fairly well. Their championship matched clashed with the hurling championship so they moved it back a week

Why could they not just have moved the hurling fixture as it would not have such a 'knock-on' effect on the rest of the games as there are a lot less teams in the hurling championship than there is in the football championship?

What's so good about the Armagh and Tyrone County Boards and is so bad about the Derry Board?

These guys?



Na cant help ya

anyone know where that photo was taken?

At the College Fields, Moy Road, Armagh.

Sarsfields defeated Tones and Keady lost to Granemore.
Any other results?

They are in the second division, they were relgated from the first division last year. They are capable of playing a decent brand of football if they can keep their cocks in their shorts and not swinging them at the crowd containing women and children.

Explain!

What way are Whitecross going this year?

What Division do they play in?
I see they play Granemore in the Senior championship.

rumour has it that the hurling championship is down for that sunday as well and a few of the ogs lads are hurlers. if this is true the county board are an absolute joke!! no doubt one of the games will have to be refixed. my guess it will be the hurling as usual!!!!

I can't see Big Paul - the hurling chairman - allowing this to happen.

As far as i know our game has been changed til the 30th.  The county boys were told it after the match on saturday by P og Nugent

Is Seamus McDonagh not the secretary of the Armagh Competitions Control Committee.
If so what is Paddy Nugent talking about?

Was the referee Gerald Devlin from Armagh City by any chance?
He is one of our better referees.

[McIver stays on as Donegal boss]

McIver stays on as Donegal boss

Brian McIver is to remain in charge of Donegal for at least another year.

He informed county board officials on Wednesday night that he intended to stay as manager for 2009.

There are to be changes to his backroom team and it is believed Adrian McGuckin has already stepped down as advisor to be replaced by a Donegal-based mentor.

McIver had raised speculation about his position after the defeat to Monaghan when he said he would take time out before making a decision on his future.

What about Mickey Walsh (Mayobrodge)?

[RTÉ has learned that Kildare County Board are to seek a postponement of their All-Ireland Football quarter-final against Cork. The reason for this is that that have played matches on the previous three weekends and their county board feels like they should not have to play on a fourth consecative.]
