This Junior be a cakewalk for Fintona?

Thought Lacken would be strong for it but serious pace in that Fintona team which Lacken don't have.

Yeah Fintona should win it easily enough. Newtownbutler may cause then some issues as they wouldn't be a bad side at all at junior level

Glen Rovers' manager Tomás Mulcahy says Cork GAA has to reconsider its age eligibility regulation after they were able to field Michael Tadhg Brosnan in the Munster club championship.

Since 2024, the county has prohibited an U18 player from lining out at adult level from all levels above and including premier junior. Brosnan lined out for The Glen against Inagh-Kilnamona as a replacement for Micheál Mullins who couldn't start due to his shoulder injury sustained in last month's PSHC final win over St Finbarr's.


"I think there's a big argument for it to be actually abolished, to be honest," said Mulcahy. "I think we're the only county in Ireland that has that rule, that a man can play in a Munster club but he can't play in a (county) club championship.

"And look, it made no difference to the result today. I'd not thought about that. But we had him in our panel, and his brother Josh, who was actually a sub in the Cork development squad as well. Two guys who were involved with Cork U20 and they can't play senior hurling with their club.

But did GR not win Cork?


Rule was he couldn't play Cork but can play Munster. He didn't play in Cork Final and they won but he played today and they were beat.


Not sure why he's complaining.

What a narrow window to view this scenario by. There's more to this than whether team won or lost.

 He's making the point the its no good for the lads development. He would have been a better player yesterday if he was allowed play league and cship in Cork.

 Instead his debut is against one of strongest club teams in the country in a knockout game.

God love her, that is desperately sad.

When you appalling human beings who get to live into their old age spreading hate and division, and a decent, noble person gets cruelly taken down in her prime, just when she's reaching the apex of her career.

RIP. Tragic.

Unfortunately that seems to be the way of it. Trump, Putin and Netanyahu all 70+.

Agree with all of the above 100%.

The Derg promoted with Augher down to 3A for next season.

A video was out in my group of someone from the management team saying there would be a championship back in the derg next year.
Let me be the first to congratulate the derg ladies on their success

Glad to get the 3 points, very lucky not to have given a pen away but Liverpool didn't do much in the 90 mins to trouble the defence.

The kid in midfield Nyoni going to be a real talent for Liverpool, looked good midweek vs Chelsea and today.

What league division did Lacken play in this year SOTB?

Div 1, 2, 3 or 4?

2 but relegated to 3.

90 mins of Arsenal shithousery I'll never get back...imagine having to watch that week in week out

Liverpool decent but could play another week and not score
Mac Allister (theatrics aside) was excellent

Decent? They never even had a shot on target!

Is there an issue with the Armagh minor championship?

Don't get me started! Long story short controversial end to a game that was appealed whole way to Croker. Apparently Cruppen are still trying to appeal

Yes, was confirmed during the week.  No idea yet about his back room team.

I did notice Cargin had already made changes to their backroom staff last year. If they are looking to improve this year clearing out ALL looks to be the best idea

Really?

My point is that the people running VAR are using it to prove their instincts right rather than objectively adjudge what happened.

You can pretty much prove any contact in football is dangerous by freeze framing the point of contact. So if your instinct is that something was dangerous, you will find it.

And when you know this

1. you won't freeze frame it unless you believe it was dangerous.

2. You will freeze frame it if you believe it was dangerous.

——

Ultimately all of the supporter claims of bias and inconsistency arise from this conundrum.

Var is a load of old ****.
