Replying To farneygael: "Thats a ridiculous comment to be fair to you." I think the majority of Monaghan and Ulster would agree based on past experiences. If some of those events played out on the street, there would be men in jail. At the end of the day, football wins thankfully. eirekeeper (Monaghan) - Posts: 119 - 02/11/2023 10:30:31 2511254 Link
Replying To veterngaa: "But Jack had a right to move to Scotstown through parantege ( see Monaghan bylaw below)… Conor Forde didn't have a right to move to Emyvale. As for Ryan, his grandparents are Scotstown club members and his mother was born in Scotstown but never played for the club Monaghan's by-law 8.5 (b) states that "a member shall be regarded as having an "other relevant connection with a catchment area if it has been demonstrated to the satisfaction of the CCC that a strong family connection i.e. parents/guardians, exists between the player and the club with which the player wishes to become a member." I don't think it's a oh I want to move wherever I want to. Remember the O'Callaghans from Currin played for Corduff.., Bantya work of course." Kind of contradicting yourself there then saying that Jack had the 'right' according to the By Law. If Conor hadn't the right (as you state) then how did he successfully move?? Therefore, going by the O Callaghans and Forde moving successfully we can say that the 'By law' isn't necessarily obeyed?? You stated the 'By-law' and then went on to tell us how a transfer was completed not according to the 'by law'. So in that case it seems you can move where you want if your club is willing to sign you away and the other club wants you?? McElroy moved from Donaghmoyne to Blackhill also I have noticed. Look I like Jack as a player and all but I don't agree with a move to a successful club at the age he is. Understandable at minor or a young age but doing it when you've a few decent years left definitely makes it look like a county medal is what he is after just. Very hard on Currin youth seeing their 'role model' just up sticks and leave and also very hard on young Scotstown gaels seeing an outsider from over the road come in and take a position which there is nearly 100 senior players fighting for. countymonaghan (Monaghan) - Posts: 289 - 02/11/2023 12:15:12 2511280 Link

That is one of many by laws. Each county has inter country transfer by laws. Force was signed off as agreed by both clubs. This again is totally fine. See attached the form to be filled in -https://monaghangaa.ie/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/2015-Inter-Club-Transfer-Application-Adult.pdf It must be signed by both clubs and an approval then at co board level. Theoretically you can transfer anywhere to any club in Monaghan as long as both clubs agree. You are portraying as some flexible rule…. O'Callaghan had proof of residency in Corduff. That's how most transfers are allowed, proof of residency in club you are transferring to. It would have refused by Currin then appealed and granted. I doubt anyone from Scotstown is concerned… veterngaa (Monaghan) - Posts: 745 - 02/11/2023 17:22:20 2511331 Link

Replying To Monaghan Exile: "Has anyone got the initial list of our NFL fixtures for 2024 ?" Dublin away 27th January Kerry home Derry. away Rosc. away Galway. home Tyrone. away Mayo. home Not sure if the Derry fixture is correct but I seen somewhere we have 4 away again for the second year in a row mhunicean_abu (Monaghan) - Posts: 1066 - 04/11/2023 20:13:29 2511508 Link
Replying To Edd,South(EU): "How will our representative do in Ulster predictions" Senior is stacked with the Glen, Kilcoo and Cross. Will be hard for scotstown. Glen to win it for me. Intermediate traditional goes with Tyrone team. Killanny in bonus territory. If they get past Tyrone in semi's they can win it. Got to beat down or Fermanagh champions first though. In junior I hear Tyrone and Cavan are strong but blackhill have momentum after the double. Could do well. In hurling, inniskeen are up against in vs Middletown who would be favourites for intermediate. Blayney hurlers should do well in junior. I hear Derry team is very strong however.

Senior hard to call, who knows how Scotstown will do. Intermediate have Pomeroy, who are county player stacked. The weather and soft pitches will suit Killanny. Bizarrely Glenullin represents Derry again after winning intermediate championship 2 years in a row due to their country structures. In Junior, Arva play Ballymaguigan today who the winners will come from. Arva play Div 1… yes Div 1 football in Cavan. Ballyhaise who won intermediate in Cavan also play div 1.. veterngaa (Monaghan) - Posts: 745 - 05/11/2023 12:18:20 2511555 Link
Liatroim 2-4 to no score up against Teemore at HT. They will cause killanny serious hassle veterngaa (Monaghan) - Posts: 745 - 05/11/2023 14:06:31 2511568 Link
I was surprised to see Blayney playing in ulster they lost the final and was it truagh who won junior? System change for provincials? 222 (UK) - Posts: 844 - 05/11/2023 14:40:22 2511574 Link

Ye but you can't have the 3rd best team playing in ulster… it's because I believe blayney won Ulster in 2018 at junior level. This means for 5 years the Monaghan champions must play intermediate … this allows the runners up to play ulster in junior level. Next years winners will go into junior..I think veterngaa (Monaghan) - Posts: 745 - 05/11/2023 18:26:54 2511608 Link

Inniskeen well beaten today by middletown which was expected. Scotstown have a huge test next weekend but they'll do well to topple kilcoo, should be spicy all the same. blackhill and killanny also face uphill struggles to win their grades given the opposation there, arva be hard stopped in junior. 222 (UK) - Posts: 844 - 05/11/2023 20:51:20 2511641 Link

Swatragh very strong in junior hurling though. Will be tight but it suits blayney in a way… Scotstown will give them a good rattle Arva play div 1 football in Cavan so they should win it Liatroim looked strong so will be a test for killanny. Pomeroy too and Cullyhanna veterngaa (Monaghan) - Posts: 745 - 06/11/2023 08:35:59 2511670 Link

Replying To MrPBoylan: "Did I hear correctly on the radio yesterday that Arva had a player sent off and he then pushed the ref?? If so surely a lengthy ban is in the offing?" Think that was a Ballymaguigan player; something happened with the linesman as well. Wasnt talking to anyone at the game so don't know the full story. drumalee11 (USA) - Posts: 349 - 06/11/2023 11:33:13 2511714 Link

Replying To veterngaa: "No… the ballymaguigan player hit ref and linesman" So there were two separate incidents? Report I read must have been bias. Not a good look for either side so. drumalee11 (USA) - Posts: 349 - 06/11/2023 12:37:41 2511732 Link
