maybe not great Zulu but the point is that they are not punishing the hurling games with the stupid rules, in fairness i've had to change my throwing the ball to handpassing!!!

No gimmies really at this stage. Laois have turned us over lately and Carlow are no mugs lately. want a big turn out for this game. an maybe Clare in the next game to gt us to a quarter final!!!

just lack of players available today . didn't know till i turned up for the seconds.

We'll be fine for championship and we'll give loughgiel a rattle

Beat by St Endas today, great first half then descended into a slabbering match towards the referee!!!! kids now days seem to be more into shouting at the referee than wanting the ball!!!

seniors failed the field against Tir na og

Atrim also happy they have avoided Tipp. Antrim drawn first, does that mean we have the winners at Casement?

no not really eggy, listen to yourself.

teachers have those training days at the drop of a hat cause ideas happen and schools want to employ those policies during the year. not the following year!!

to be honest your being very petty, the training days are to help YOUR kids develop.

eggy. already said that teachers are parents also and need to arrange child minders also, so they also have the same problem you have.

and if you have a problem with that you shouldn't have had kids in the first place.

[They seem to yap enough if you upset them by taking your child out of school for a day whilst on an overseas holiday]

I was referring to holiday probably from a students perspective, I am not a teacher, my contract stipulates 25 days annual leave, does a teachers stipulate then 60 or 70 or whatever all the non-term time adds up to and can none of this non term time not be used for staff training?  They seem to yap enough if you upset them by taking your child out of school for a day whilst on an overseas holiday but all parents can whistle and arrange child care at the drop of a hat when they require "training".

No they don't . I f you decide to keep your child off school for whatever reason, why would teachers get upset?

Teachers personally don't care, but with the syllabus being so tight kids are being taught right up to the last day. i think you'd be pissed off if your child lot out on part of a topic for the sake of a cheaper holiday, that would say more about a parents selfishness

I personally can't afford family overseas holidays so it doesnt bother me in that respect, but it is a constant school policy complaint.  I work in I.T supporting customers - we all need training to keep up to date with new technologies and all do it on our own time or individually, I think there would be some outcry if the company said this Friday we are all training so support yourselves, and for the individual who stipulated try teaching, no I don't want to, if you do that is your choice.

so your beef about the complaining teachers should be redirected to the Education Board really. are you annoyed that teachers get that that many holidays?

Agree, very open game, not much great defending. Brian White Man of the Match.

Hardstation, i didn't think he was playing again!!!

teachers usually start back on the last week of August for training days. as for the staff training and arranging child care, i'd say the majority of teachers are parents and have to arrange child care also!!!

for the non teachers who complain on this board, try teaching and then you'll understand that you need those 8 weeks off in the summer. if you didn't get those holidays you wouldn't get the teachers.

Disagree MR ... commentator has said the breeze has died down.  For the amount of possession Sligo have had,  they should be winning,  if they had the breeze with them in the first half i imagine that would be the case.  Breeze could have died down completely by the time the 2nd half starts ... if you have the option use it when it's there

What's the odds on 4 away wins this weekend although we'd hope to give the Dall a run especially if they've a load of U-21's playing the previous evening?

We'd be hoping that the Cran's do us a favour and take the points of Ballycastle as theyr'e our main relegation threats.

Johnny stop worrying, should Ballycastle face the drop there will be a change to the league

good call with playing against the breeze, should be an entertaining second half, two points to turn over

Yes i'd say they are dancing, big threat for Championship. decent team and have always been close. shaping up for a good championship season in the football.

Ballymena beat Glenavy on the top pitch while we played down below. they also have another pitch in the making, great set up they have.
