went 2 see the granard connalys game last night and i was dismayed by the refering that went on. every call went against granard and i mean every thing and at half time the score was 1-4 to 7 points but simily the ref called it at 1-5 to 7 which wasnt the case.... in the second half a granard player was sent off for telling the ref what he though off him,, which i do not condone on a football field but i do feel sori for the player.. but wat happened then amazed me the st.marys player was walking off the pitch and a connalys player came after him swining punches which the ref was looking at and there was a blind eye turned to it... as a nutural at the game even i was sadend and i no now why the county football is no such a mess now.. but fair play to the granard team for there one point win

jack in the box, you are no more a neutral! With respect, what would a neutral be doing at a Granard Connolys match??

Two surprising results over the weekend, with very good wins for dromard and ballymahon especially, anyone at either of these games, what happened abbey? League is getting tighter now with clonguish only drawing with mostrim

Connollys must have improved, coming close against granard...

At the Dromard Abbey match. Both sides were short about 8 regulars with county comitments, injuries and unavailabilities etc. Would not read anything into the scoreline. Droard did play well. Hagan returning to Dromard as manager of Abbey. Perhaps he did not want to show his hand until it really matters.

Opinions on last weekends matches please, I heard Colmcille and Dromard are still struggling to grind out results, Abbey and Clonguish still playing impressive stuff as well. Will these 4 teams share a quality gulf in championship over other teams??

Boys what is the story with Mullinaughta?? They weren't even that good in Division 2 last year and now they are more than holding their own in division one. You'd have have something seriously wrong with ya not to admire them. Hope they carry it through to the championship.

wouldnt exactly call beating rathcline by over 20 points struggling to grind out a result khafaelnikov?? colmcille destroyed sean connollys aswell by a similar scoreline

Didnt quite catch the sarcasm there Dromard Abu, ah well, no worries, i wonder how Colmcille and Dromard gonna go in Championship.

ah i wouldnt mind the championship, its only consolation for not winning the more prestigious league title

See clonguish won again last night, looking good for them, they're on a great run at the moment, if they keep it up they will be hard stopped come championship...

Here's how i think the rest of the weekend will go:
Mostrim St Marys... Close derby, mostrim to win it narrowly
St Patricks Rathcline... Ardagh win here, rath don't travel well!
Dromard Emmet Og... Dromard by 6+
Longford Slashers St Columbas... Tight game, reckon columbas should have enough to win
Fr Manning Gaels Ballymahon... Another tight one, go for ballymahon

See the county board set most of the games for saturday at same time as the soccer, why not have them 2 hours early, complete pain in the hole!

"See the county board set most of the games for saturday at same time as the soccer, why not have them 2 hours early, complete pain in the hole"

What factors does the County Board have the consider when fixing these matches, besides could FIFA not change the soccer match time because it clashes with club fixtures in Longford. If they had fixed the game for 4 or 5pm it would clash with the televised Cavan match. Any earlier and it would clash with English paper 2 leaving cert exam. The Co Board was in a no win situation.
The only thing I can say, if you propose attending some of the GAA matches on saturday evening, bring a wireless with you to catch up on events in Sofia.

Not sure about CLonguish. Very lucky to beat Colmcille who are very understrength. Colmcille 1-11 to 1-06 ahead with less than 10 mins to go and much the better team. Couple of silly misakes later and they were beaten including conceding 1-01 in injury time.
