This post on Twitter seems to be doing the rounds about the glenravel fella. None of these trolls are willing to grab a whistle

Wasn't a great tackle but by all accounts both teams were leaving a bit on each other and there was no linesmen there, really tough one for a ref, maybe didnt have a great view and has a split second to make a decision. but as you say easy to criticise a referee from the other end of a computer screen

Dirty slap. Could have broken his leg.

Gort Na Mona v Carey next Tuesday night at the Dub apparently

I hear rumours that a serious row is brewing between Cushendall and Co chair over fixture v Rossa at Dunsilly and its turning nasty. Any clarity on this?

Did you not see the comedic letter sent by Cushendall? It's parody. There's also a letter of response, allegedly from the county chair, which simply cannot be real.

Anyone with a link or the gist of it don't be afraid to pm it on

Do you think Cushendall raise valid concerns or was the county chair correct to respond in the manner that he did?

Throw it up, when has anyone on this board been concerned about outing people/things whether true or not

I got the letter the Cushendall club allegedly sent, ifs it's genuine then Cushendall need to wise up, its hilariously embarrassing. Whoever agreed to write and then agreed to send on behalf of that club need hunted from around the club. A list of nonsense excuses. It can't be real? The response is also funny as it doesn't take the initial complaints to seriously. I'm sure there are both fake.

Letter from Cushendall is legit - I feel. First 2 paragraphs were ok but the last paragraph must have been written by a P4 learning how to write an argument for the 1st time:

- supporters and players have to go to mass.
- farmers have to feed the cows.
- you will miss your lunch so you will.

People who haven't seen the letter will think I'm joking.

Was listening to a few Tyorne players talking about 'culture' and a culture of winning.

Got me thinking about us and Casement and how we've performed there and how few big games we've ever won. Have we won just 2 senior Ulster championship GAMES in 40 years there?

Am I wrong in thinking that our last Ulster football championship win there was 2003 v Cavan?

Our last u-21 championship win at Casement was v Armagh in 2003

Our last Minor championship win there was v Donegal in 1998??

If we don't win at underage we most likely won't win at senior...what do we do?

Your clubs arent strong enough(football). Fullstop.

In football or in hurling? (Or both?)

Wonder would someone be good enough to take one player from that Tyrone team, pretty sure you could take any one of them.

Plot their journey from under age, the whole way through development squads, schools systems, college systems, finally into minor/ u20/ senior squads.

Track the amount of time spent on them at each of these stages by quality interventions, see the money it has taken to get them through the system to the All Ireland final day, track the man hours it has taken and the support around this system.

If you do that for one single player you will start to have an idea why we are so far behind and will continue to be so until the gap is addressed at all levels.
