Was the selection not by a sub-committee & ratified by the club committee who are voted for by club membership at AGM?
It's about as democratic as can be.

Not ratified by whole committee as they currently don't have a committee..

Why not?
Was it not the locals who picked them?

Aye some locals picked it alright but it wasn't a reflection of what everyone wanted apparently.

Irish News confirmed Eoin McCartan & Stevie O'Hare taking Burren with Brendan Hackett in their back room.

Hasn't gone down well with the locals.

60p a mile would be cheap - would hardly cover his fuel for a return journey! Eoghan Byrne and Adam Lynch currently training with county panel. Ballykinlar is gettin it tough at the minute!!

Any word how the county board meeting went last night? Proposals for league/championship and underage structures all up for decision....

I personaly thought Dabs was brilliant today
[/quote]Thought he had good game as well.

Watch the game lads please. No matter how bad he is everyone just sees him touch the ball twice and their mind thinks he was class - Kicked a good point - was out muscled for the ball time and time again particularly by Darren Hughes and was missing in the last ten minutes when they needed him badly to just grab a ball and get them out - be a leader. I'm not saying he's not a good player but he is not and has never been county standard. Don't get blinded by fact he has medals galore - so did many players in the past but were not county standard. What we have at present is Doherty - I would much prefer him to be honest - not the tallest but some player.

Let's hope after that today the Dabs playing county rhetoric is finally put to bed.

Kilcoo display today suggests they will be a massive force in Ulster this year. Scotstown will feel their wrath next weekend in Newry and then it's a plum tie v either Cross/Trillick - but they are on a different level when they get into Ulster. Glen are potentially the only team that can stop them and Kilcoo owe them one!!!

Any update on the ?

Hurling final described as epic.. my god.. it was far far far from epic. Watch a Tipperary/Waterford/Clare hurling match and you will see epic. It was a decent game for our county standard but wouldn't cut it in a real hurling field.

On another note let's hope the hurling 6 page reports end now and then quoted and another 2 pages added to it.

Loughinisland - new management - Conor OToole??
Kilcoo - new management required
Burren - new management required
Clonduff - new management required
Mayobridge- new management - Bernie Murray??
CPN - new management required
Bredagh - new management required

Longstone - new management required

Must be a record for the top ten clubs in the county to have so much management activity in one off season..

Castlewellan
Ballyholland - new management - Shane Mulholland
Saul - new management - John Fegan
Downpatrick - new management required
Liatroim - will probably stick with current setup??
Saval - new management required
Shamrocks - will probably stick with DJ
Rostrevor -
Glen - ?
Drumgath - ??

Anyone any updates on above?

You cant blame any county player not wanting to play under this mess that has started especially the burren ones. How can any person have any faith in laverty with his actions of the field with his club. County board should really be considering sacking him as every man woman and child knows he was at fault for this whole mess

How is it Laverty that was at fault here?? Am I missing something? You can't just assume things and hope that people jump on board with it... what grounds do they have to sack him?? Has there been gross misconduct in him carrying out his role for the county board - no.. can't sack him.  If Burren or any other clubs players don't want to go - that's fine - the county will always field a team - whether it's the ones we want or not is another thing..

Thank god for Kilcoo
Thank god for McCorry and Adams having no plan and costing a fortune.
Thank god we don't have to listen to the noisy neighbours slabbering for the foreseeable..
This game should never have gone ahead and the referee and his assistants should hang their heads in shame. At least our club ref has the good sense to say no. We as a county struggle on a yearly basis to recruit referees and this shambles won't ease the recruitment process for next season.

Burren (AET)
Rostrevor
Drumaness

Interesting referee choice for the senior final - thought my club comrade would have got it but Paul is very experienced and will be well fit to handle the environment.
