Down Club Hurling & Football

[Truth hurts]

Maybe they see Scor for the outdated nonsense that it is. Perhaps GAA should try and bring the competition into 21st century or maybe just turn off the life support. I think the weekend shows us we have bigger problems in Down

The gaa is a bigger organization than just football you know, Clubs in the county need to realize this as we move forward.

Yes and there is also Hurling plus our sister organisations Camogie and Ladies Football.Young ones join up to play games not to participate
in Elocution or Speak/Drama type activities.This singing of our National anthem before National League fixtures is from a time long since defunct.
Fine for Championship maybe but in freezing depths of winter it's a complete nonsense.

Thats not true and mnay young people love the Scor , I am happy that there are a few true GAA clubs in the county who push this and keep it going.

Each to their own and I do really hope you enjoy it each year but stop ramming the Scor thing down everyone throats on an annual basis.Does your own child/children or even yourself participate?

Yes they do, we are in danger of losing our identity. Scor is a massive part of the GAA and we need to embrace it.

There are only a few true traditional GAA clubs in the county and I won't be naming them and I don want to offend the rest, but true Gaels know who they are.

The magpies on the lookout for a new manager. What memories they will have of the Mickey Moran era. What a manager.

As told to you by a prominent East Down source in an eating house in the East.

nah its just common knowledge in this area.

Will the league fixtures be released in time for the leagues to start? Were they not supposed to be out weeks ago?

[Godsown]

No they are going to release the fixtures two weeks after they start

Clubs are to get a text on the Friday morning to confirm their fixture for that night, in a new and bold development in how the league is to be run from now on.

The south Down clubs probably sill crying over the league proposals

No crying from my neck of the woods.You're very spiteful in most of your
postings.

[Truth hurts]

I never target individuals

[Godsown]

Fair point

[wobbller]

I never target individuals

Just certain areas and Clubs.

Fixtures out. Looks like a few heavy duty fixtures in round one. I'm sure Bryansford have the honour of playing the All Ireland champions first.

Division two will be interesting also although County panellists availability is going to hurt a lot Clubs in 1&2.

Is it confirmed that clubs will be without county players until Down exit the championship?

Will that include involvement in the Tailteann Cup?

[Too many steps]
