Goats I don't know what age you are but I recall playing hamrocks when I was a minor, Ciaran Raff's team,and that was 15 years ago.  Do thy still amalgamate?

maghery hadnt joined with the apple men when ra was minor it was a few years after that,but as goats rightly said it better fielding a team on youre own than joining up with other teams that not on the same level as youself as maghery have won more at underage level since the split than with it

Ill have some of that Maghery action! Sure they wont be able to stay off their sisters long enough to win football matches!  Hillbillies!

very good ivedecided very good indeed.did you think of that one all by yourself are did some1 help you..i didnt think you would have £100 to spare out of youre D.L.A money to lose on gambling but sure there isnt much else to do in lurgan i suppose..spade.

looks like u not very popular winsam,i wonder why that is and if you are so sure wee will be relegated,would you like to lose a few pound.you can call down to the club and i will gladly take whatever you want off you laeve it behind the bar and then let the boys have a drink on you when we stay up,or i will go to davitt park and leave it behind your bar till the end of the season.(if it wouldnt be stolen from behind the bar,which lets face it wouldnt be the first time) however if wee do go down wee can get a few tips from youre good self on div 2 as you have been there yourselfs not so long ago ;what is you say [Edited by Mod3]

Loughshore i am well aware that in every set of supporters there are slabbers and to be honest we have more than our fair share of them. I don't even mind them shouting onto the pitch but i do take offence to the likes of that Og's  tr**p shouting the like of that at lads who have dedictaed a hell of a lot of time to Gaelic football. To turn around and make a remark about mourneview park is a complete disgrace. Yes i have also shouted at football matches and it is mostly directed at the refs. I very rarely shout at other players as i at least give them the respect they deserve for the committment they put in.

The point about not going into other teams clubs after games, We usually do go into other teams clubs after away games. This year we have been into Cullovilles, Cross, Killeavy, Harps, and st pats. I guess this is because someone has actually came in after the game and said to the lads that there are sandwiches in the bar or wherever. I ain't sure the reason why we don't go into maghery and to be honest i wasn't even aware they had a club (Is their club the tiny building onto their changing rooms???). But one thing is for sure it isn't done out of any malice. It is not as if we sit down before games and say "we won't go into their club after the game, That will show them". Usually when we are playing other North Armagh teams we usually come stripped and all. I guess it is just a habit. But it is not meant to cause offence.

a few points winsam,is it not part of gaa tradition to go into other teams clubs for a drink n that after games. also yes maghery do have a club and a very good one at that but sure you clans ones wouldnt know this as you stand on the bridge to watch games in maghery so you dont have to pay the entrance fee.we also have a great field which is always lined out not like youre own may i add.i could go on all day about how better our set is than your own but i wont come down to youre level but i might as well thats why no one in the county has a good word to say about use....oh aye by the way wee own our own field not leased off the council..

Loughshore you seem to be the peacemaker on this site! Never really have a bad word to say about anyone I don't trust people like that probably a bit of a Judis in you! I don't know how anybody could agree with anything those two planks I'll Decide and I've decided say anyway. Clans boys know nothing about football!

whoareya?that  is the question? far a start i wasnt in agreement with i`ll decide or i`ve decided,i was replying to what winsam was saying.but i will agree with you when you say those to are planks though ;)i would also have to say you are a bit of a plank yourself,if you had looked closely at my post i had a few digs at the clans for not going into away teams clubs for a drink after their games and had also a little dig at one of thier players for diving and the supporter who shouted...so there i have had a go at quite a few people on this one thread...no more mr nice guy

Also heard the old cry again at the Ogs and clans game. Bumpy o' Hagan was fouled in the middle of the pitch and he went to ground. One of the ogs supporters AKA a mouth shouted on "this ain't mournview park you know" Now wtf is this all about. I have witnessed this several time over the years. The majority of it has been in South Armagh. There are no Irish leagues teams in that neck of the woods so you can understand a little what they are refering too. But it is still a joke that some clown thinks he can shout that at people who have no more interest in soccer than the man on the moon.

This ogs fool fails to realise that Armagh city also have an Irish league team and are pretty much like Lurgan with regardes it being a town/city. So there are a lot of similarities. Both the ogs and the clans would be competing with soccer more so than south armagh teams, but they would have that hardcore groups that would always go to Gaelic no matter if it was a world cup final. This maddens me as these bamsticks on the line pay into games and think they can just shout out a load of shite. They would need to catch a grip.

well win there are a few of these w**ks at every club. these same boys would be the first men over to you to buy a drink after the match in the club,if you ever went into other teams clubs after games you would know this is just a bit of banter,like in clans?maghery games,there would be quite a bit of this.However if it was marty lavery they had shouted this at i would maybe agree(he likes a dive) but bumby wouldnt go down that easy and im sure the man that shouted it hid behind some1 when he done it.by the way do you ever shout  at games?

That's a classic one about JD just sums tha man up a complete animal. I would like to see him take on Mr T.

Loughshore your a worth a laugh if nothing else lad. I take it your are saying that the sarsfields would be the best team then in North Armagh  So that must make us second Tir Na Nog third and Maghery fourth   

See what you make of this rating 

well im no joe brolly but i was thinking more eire og 1st maghery/clans 2nd pauls,tones clann eirean,tir na nog ,sarsfields..

well win my predictions wernt that far away,i went for ogs v clans because i heard the game had a 12 o`clock start so the county lads could play,if i had knew they wernt playing i would ofcourse went for clans,with bumby back again they are maybe the 2nd best team in north armagh

not sure about that table maghery have played 11 not 12 stll in with a chance.

MAGHERY BEAT MULLABAWN 1:14 2:10 VERY STRONG WIND MAGHERY 1;08 0;06 UP AT HALF TIME MULLABAWN SCORED 2;4 FIRST 15 MINS 2ND HALF MAGHERY LADS DUG DEEP AND CAME STRONG IN THE END FOR VERY IMPORTANT WIN..MUST ADD ANOTHER REF ON AN EGO TRIP BEING SMART 2 PLAYERS ETC

county men not available for clubs on sunday as they are going to clones for training unless some have got the time of their game switched to 12 are evening throw in..looks like all home wins in div1 for me

Loughshore the reason i am posting this is because i cannot understand how maghery have became so bad. They are a good bunch of lads and i have grown up playing against them all my life. So you could say i am asking for the reason why they have went backwards. I wasn't aware they were missing many players and i certainly wasn't comparing them to the clans. You have then came on in response and compared them to the  clans last two seasons I was merley using that comparison from the championship game as a yard stick . You keep pointing out that they drew with the clans and of course they did but that has absolutely nothing to do with what i am saying.

You have indicated that you have a lot of injuries and this certainly wouldn't help. You have then said they have gone backwards, which was what i was saying. I am still wondering what are the main reasons why.

as you know wee are a small club win with a small panel so when 3 r 4 men get injured we struggle to replace them with players as strong,but this year is the worst i have ever seen,also the management of the past 5 years steped down,thinking it would be in the teams best interest but it hasnt worked out that way.the new management cant seem to get outta the boys what the past manager did,so this is maybe why.But sure i will jump on the bandwagan and blame the refferees for our downfall.

i wouldnt rule out sarsfields who are flying in div2,very young and fit team with a good manager who knows his stuff,might i add they are traditionally a championship team.

yeah loughshore we did draw in the league and we were absolutely brutal that day so what did that make maghery??? Have a wee look at the league table. 4 points from 11 games is hardly a great return. Maybe they have been playing their minor team all year? If so this is a dodgy way to operate because they won't just click they're fingers and gets points to save them from relegation at the end of the year.

So by saying you wouldn't read too much into it, you would be denying that things are going bad at maghery. As i have said things were going better when them lads had no experience at senior level. They played us a few years back in the championship in Abbey park and they were very unlucky. We got to a championship final that year and won the league and where perhaps playing the best football we had been playing in a long while. If the same game was tommorrow i would say the result would be a foregone conclusion and we are by no means playing well at the moment. I just think the maghery set up has collapsed.

just to put light to this win maghery have an injury list the size of the pot holes on the davitt park pitch all season and have only played 9 games with most of them being away from home,while i admitt we have still went back since jimbo and dixie steped down last year we can still avoid the drop.that is the second year in a row we have drew with clans in devitt park.and if my memory serves me right we were beat by a point in the semi final of the championship last year again while clans got dumped in first round so maybe these young lads arent far off the mark...p.s league tables dont count untill yhe end of the season.

Played maghery there last night in the pat mc mahon cup and i will stick by what i said a few weeks back. That is the worst maghery team i have ever seen. They have gone backwards something shocking. When them lads were just breaking into the senior ranks they put up a better performance than they are doing now that they have experience. It usually works the other way around, with the experience making them better players. This hasn't been the case with maghery. It just looked like ateam of individuals with no fight. Any other time we play maghery there has always at the least been a bit of fight in them.

what i have heard is maghery had 4 r 5 senior players and the rest were the minor team so wouldnt read to much in2 it. did the clans and maghery(the worst maghery team u have ever seen)draw in the league when it really counted for something.
