Is it wrong to have an interest in division 2 football, after all we've spend quite a few years down there ourselves and below. I just find division 2 a lot more competive than division 1 at the moment and the relegation battle is fascinating.

[WT4E]

No not at all! It's as fascinating as eddies quiet room on a Sunday morning!!! 😊

Its a hobby innit. No obligation to go to football. I too will opt out next year.

Yes I agree no obligation, I'm not disputing that. What I'm getting at is the fact he was only too happy to play all last year when the rock where riding high on an all Ireland junior run, then when they needed him most he decided to step aside. Not a real clubman if your asking me, that's what separates the senior teams from intermediate/junior.

Its only an opinion but I believe that the quality and quantity of players of a certain standard is what separates Division 1/2/3. For example Greencastle are division 1 because they have many good players. Do you think that the Greencastle team that was in Division 3 had as many good players, but they just weren't committed enough?

That's a fascinating insight. What else might separate teams in sport throughout the world? Alphabetical order? Nice jerseys?

What age is he? kicked football for the Rock all his life and decides its time for him to hang them up and you say he's "not a real clubman".. He got them into Div 2, at what point is his job done according to you? If a man wants to hang them up let him at it, id say he's gave plenty to the Rock by now. Still can't get over that "he's not a real clubman" speak... jesus

What I believe the poster was saying was that attitude of players is what separates good teams from bad teams is the attitude of their players. I was just saying that it is more to do with the quality of players than the attitude. I would say there are many players in division 3 who are more dedicated than their counterparts in division 1. But thanks for your smartass comment anyway.

I agree the quality and quantity of footballers has a lot to do with how successful a club can be but a good attitude/dedication is equally as important. Forgive me if I'm wrong but I don't believe the Rock can be happy being considered as a yo yo club, much like Cookstown are. Why not push on to be the best you can be. Take Carrickmore for example; they haven't produced the quality of footballer they had say 10-12 years ago but they continue to contest O'Neill cups/league titles every year. I put that down to hard work, attitude and dedication, the same dedication Martin McCreesh has failed to show. I shouldn't pick on one player as the same can be said for numerous clubs in Tyrone.

If I'm not mistaken this is not the first time he has called time on his playing days, on his return to intermediate football from a junior all Ireland run.

Well you are mistaken the last time the Rock played on after an All Ireland Martin was a key player the next season as the Rock finished in the top half of the league. Can't believe people singling any individual out

[wee scully]

After a long year and Halloween just round the corner another terrible ending to the year with several appeals and objections being raised to the situation caused by Rock deciding not to field last week.

The upshot of it all is that Ulster council will be hearing appeals from the clubs effected resulting in the CCC having to decide to call off the game this weekend between Gortin and Urney.

By the time this is sorted the Christmas dinner won't be far away and clubs will nearly be back training for next year. It's a terrible situation for all sides, players, managers, clubs to find themselves in and surely something needs done to prevent this from happening again.

GAAFAN2 - Are you or have you been a footballer???

You don't know his reasons or other commitments for "opting" out. Does playing football for the rock put cloths on his back or food in his belly?? No matter if they got promoted or relegated or in the same division. Show a bit of respect and stop naming an amateur individual for HIS choices

[on the sideline]

Is the Urney vrs Gortin match going ahead tomorrow?
