Congratulations to St Pats on winning the New York Gold Cup.
I was away at the weekend and didn't get to see the game.
It just goes to show you what a little graft and hard teamwork can bring.
Great to see a young club from a small area winning.
Hard luck to Derrygonnelly.
I know great gaels from both areas and was not taking any sides prior to the game.

I wish to point out on your board some bullying of what I would assess as a young contributor cillnaile. On viewing the posts, I have observed the return of "Brian" from the old message board under the user name of irlande who has likes to silence other critics in the belief that his view is correct. Brian in the past was noted for his severe and mostly uncalled for criticism of our county board of the GAA. It is ironic that he has decided in his return to bully a young fellow Kinawley supporter.

In my assessment, I believe that cillnaile. is a student who is trying to mimic as slightly older critic Irvinestown Gael it the hope to attract attention to himself which I consider is a foolish move. However, that does give anyone the right to bully him/her as witnessed on here. My advice to cillnaile. is to be himself/herself and discuss topics in a manner that does not offend but offers true debate and freedom of discussion.

ps. I case you are wondering, I have a free class first thing this morning that's why I decide to comment and give some advice.

Do those who say there is a lack of committment within the Harps actually do anything within their own club. It is very easy to be critical from the comfort of an armchair.Both Irvinestown and Kinawley would be in top flight if the posters from their clubs were actually involved. I would say they have never even played football!!!

bullying! you should be a psychiatrist ekn_teacher, i think you are spending too much time in the playground of the school you work in. i was annoyed with cillnaile for his allegation that derrygonnelly peoples lives revolve around the pub, simple as that. i am not brian from the old message board & i have no vendetta against the county board.

First of all I think it is a cheek of the teacher from Enniskillen to come on here and suggest that I'm some way misleading or encouraging other posters to be offending others on this message board. I take great offence to this comment. However, Enniskillen teacher you won't stop me telling the truth and 'outing' other clubs who bring the GAA into disrepute.

As regards a so called student postie from the clockland mimicing me thats isn't my responsibility. However, it is sad if they can't find their own words to form a discussion but not unexpected from that part of the sticks!

Back to the main point of being here and that is to now give you the full fixtures and predictions for this weekend.

Senior Football League 1 Sunday 12th October @ 3.30pm

Teemore v Derrygonnelly (Paul Campbell) Teemore will see off the pubbers challenge as the latter will be in a demise mode after their humilating defeat in the SFC
Belcoo v St. Patricks (Enda McBrien) Donagh riding high on their success will send the humpty dumpties sliding further down the league table
Tempo v Enniskillen (Ferghal Cleary) Close call but would favour townies
Lisnaskea v Devenish (Tom Boyle) Devenish win
Brookeboro Newtownbutler (John Mohan) Boro lads have no future now in dev 1 will see Newtown win this one with ease

Senior Football League 2 Sunday 12th October @ 3.30pm

Derrylin v Kinawley (Martin Higgins) Local derby...hope Derrylin pull it off and shame the clockers
Roslea v Aughadrumasee (Alan Richardson) Another local dervy...but should be an easy win for Roslea cowboys
Erne Gaels v St. Josephs (Tommy Mulrone) I forecast the Bellek potters as Ederney are sliding after being whalloped by Roslea last weekend

Erne Cup 1 Saturday 11th October @ 5.00pm
Newtownbutler v Teemore (Seamus R McMahon) With Newtown in relegation status it has to be Teemore who a near the top of the league
Enniskillen 2 v Coa Enniskillen (Noel Davis) Not much difference between both sides who occupy the bottom half of the league...due to the soccer problem with Coa on a Saturday I give this one to the townies
Tempo 2 v Maguiresbridge (Tom Boyle) Close call...Tempo by a point or so

Erne Cup 2 Saturday 11th October @ 5.00pm

Devenish v St. Josephs @ Belleek (John McGauran) Devenish far sharper and fitter than the wee men so a good win for the Melvin lads
Belcoo v St. Patricks @ Derrygonnelly (Pat McGurn) Close call...but St Pats have more commitment and are likely to oust the lack lustre humpty dumpties
Kinawley v Aughadrumasee @ Derrylin (Martin McBrien) Can't see the clockers emerging with any gain...A'drumsee win
Irvinestown v Brookeboro @ Maguiresbridge (John Crudden) St Molaise have this one in the bag as the B'boro club teams generally are in demise

Coa_gael how do you know that the Fermanagh vs Down preliminary round in the Ulster Senior Championship will not be venued in Enniskillen?

I think you are wrong because many remember an even bigger game against Donegal and Brewster Park was able to accommodate. You are talking through your rear end just like irlande!!!

In response to irlande's reply it is just as I anticipated. This guy is in denial. His response was arrogant and belittling which are common characteristics in bullies of this type. This young Kinawley contributor I referred to earlier has not featured here since your threatening outburst and that tells me he or she may be frighten by your bullying comment on things that may or may not be true.

In respect of yourself and your Hoganstand identity, I have quite correctly deduced from you use of the English language that you are indeed the said 'Brian' from the old style message board who previously supported Kinawley. I'm absolutely in no doubt and your reply to me has just clarified it. Therefore, irlande you aren't so clever after all and again a common characteristic associated with bullies.

I make no apologies for raising this issue and I would encourage the young cillnaile. user to come back to this discussion board and don't let irlande win. I also wish to thank Hoganstand for highlighting this matter. Thank you.

to ekn_teacher do you share the views of your fellow kinawley poster? Dont you feel his remarks are as much those of a bully as anyone else? You dont see me running down other clubs!! But then he attacks me and my team for no reason!! maybe a biast opinion on your behalf!! Bullys show their faces in many ways including those who run other people down because of grammer or spelling mistakes we cant all be as perfect as a teacher!!
