Cracking day of football alright - Love this time of year. Ban (Westmeath) - Posts: 1415 - 13/11/2017 17:29:54 2062130 Link 0 |
What a load of childish waffle your spouting as again you know full well I am one of only three or four on the Dublin page who openly looks forward to and enjoys the national league and the Leinster championship so its a bit rich coming from you to suggest I am a big game merchant. I came on and have an opinion I didn't respond to any one poster in particular. I responded to the idea of the thread and my reasons if you don't agree that's your choice but to try attack me because you don't agree is sad. I am not attacking any club at all I am pointing out there is many problems with the club game and playing games this time of year is one of them. hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 13/11/2017 18:48:24 2062144 Link 0 |
I never suggested you could. I know it might seem mad to some but how about playing the competition at a better time of year hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 13/11/2017 19:01:54 2062145 Link 0 |
You obviously have selective reading as there is even a discussion talking about replacing inter county and if it was only clubs how it would work out but yeah that goes against your point so you decided to leave that out again.

So if you had a feeling what happened yesterday would happen why do you call it an upset? I was at the Dublin final and Vincent's were in complete control with Connolly running the show which was worth the price of admission alone. But you wanted him sent off for a nothing incident if he done as much spouting as you do on here he would be suspended for life going by your interpretation of the rules

I know what you're saying but we only get about 5/6 months of decent weather in any given year and that's usually when intercounty is played so unless we do a bi yearly thing where we do clubs championship one summer and intercounty the next then we're goosed.

Why not play them both simultaneously?

Vincent's won 4 of the last 5 Leinster titles, because I have a feeling it may happen doesn't mean it wasn't an upset which it clearly was. now your accusing me of being anti Connolly man this is some weird place these days as being honest seems to infuriate people and that's what I was doing regarding Connolly being honest he should have got a black card for deliberately running twenty metres down to the opposition player to verbally abuse him after he scored a goal and that player was the cause of giving away the goal, is that not a black card offence when the ref was only a few metres away and seen and heard the incident and immediately ran over blowing his whistle to try stop anything escalating. The match itself was a non event it was terrible game that never got going at all, if I had of paid in i would have been looking for the admission few back. hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 13/11/2017 21:47:24 2062166 Link 0 |
Agree it was a poor affair considering the talent that was on show

You can't guarantee decent weather anytime in this country. The conditions on Sat night in Omagh were perfect, dry with no wind wheras The weather in August & September were awful in the north west. Strange & all as it may seem but I enjoy watching live football at this time of the year & for me there is no doubt that club football between the top club teams reaches places its more illustrious cousin can't reach. The crowd are more passionate, in a lot of cases they know all the players personally & may be related to some of them. The standard of play is generally quite high & there is a bit more freedom to play. I still enjoy county football & always will but club football at this time of year has a magic all of its own & I for one am glad of it.

The club has been the be all and end all since approximately 1884. It is what the GAA is about. It's essence. It's core characteristic. It's attitudes like yours that is causing so much damage. Either that or you are winding people up.

You'd be missing your intercounty players hill.

your argument is baffling..it seems your annoyed because one of our clubs lost..the reality is the time to play a team like vincents in leinster is early on before they get on a bit of a run

Each to their own my friend And the comment wasn't weather it was pitch related, this time of year you will always get heavy surfaces that's the point I made its not about good football it's about survival, I rather personally good football. hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 14/11/2017 19:04:15 2062352 Link 0 |
Spare me the sanctimonious b.s. that line is wearing thin as if the club is the be all and end all then why since 1884 have those there be more stray dogs at club league games than people up and down the country. people have always voted with their feet and they much prefer county football because the quality is way ahead, it's played at a proper time of year. hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 14/11/2017 19:09:22 2062355 Link 0 |
Some games yes that's true but should 99% of club players be made sit around waiting for one or two of their 30 panel to be available? I certainly don't think it's fair that they do that as the county players are already playing games as it is it's only the other 99% who are missing out. I have said it before on here a master's fixture list may out the entire year for clubs and play the game's accordingly if that means a team misses a countu player so be it, they don't hold games up for non county players who can't make it so why should there be preferential treatment given to a minority? hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 14/11/2017 19:13:48 2062357 Link 0 |
You obviously didnt read anything I posted if you have that idea I suggest you read first

All very good in theory. Not only that, other sports seem to do a better job (in Cork anyway). My experience though (from being an occasional board delegate) is that games get cancelled for any old reason. Accepting and sticking to a master fixture list is common sense but we need a change of culture in the GAA to implement one. Unfortunately. Meanwhile clubs get screwed while intercontinental season ever more clogs up summer months.

I agree with a lot you say hill but a lot of country clubs couldn't do without their intercounty players for junior intermediate and senior county championship. The likes of Dr crokes and Nemo probably would have enough players and could plod along but sleachtneil crossmaglen corrofin castlebar probably couldn't.
