It's a very young squad with a number of 18/19 year olds called up. Great to see Belcoo's Ciaran Flaherty called back into the squad as he is a class act. Erne_Supporter (Fermanagh) - Posts: 136 - 28/10/2014 08:06:54 1667628 Link 0 |

You obviously don't visit a gym often sham or else you would see a lot of intercounty players in there during the off season working out and doing their own weights. I wouldn't view a weights programme as flaunting the rules. Most players would be doing weights anyway during the off season. It just means they get their programmes drawn up for them rather than them doing it on their own. gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts: 4971 - 17/11/2014 16:58:24 1672905 Link 0 |

County Board should look at themselves too. If you're trying to avoid burout, surely, 9 games in the first 4 weeks of the season isn't the best policy. The fixture list needs a complete overhaul. From April to October there is 36 weeks in which to play 18 league games & mazimum 5 championship games. why there is a need to play double fixture weekends I'll never know? & Also, There whould NEVER be a Wednesday fixture with the amount of people working away these days. County board need to wake up. Susuki82 (Fermanagh) - Posts: 56 - 18/11/2014 11:30:55 1672993 Link 0 |
Susuki82 talks a bit of sense as the problem that clubs have is the length of season and the big gaps during the season to allow for county football. The co board should stick their heals in and say enough is enough when it comes to the co team manager putting unfair restraints on clubs who have players on the co squad some which never even get a game! Let the clubs come first in planning the season and county second as the intercounty championship which causes so much headaches for club league football usually ends up as a damp squib!! erneboy (Fermanagh) - Posts: 1302 - 18/11/2014 12:20:22 1673008 Link 0 |
Full agreement here about mid week games. There should be NO games Monday to Thursday and none on Friday either if truth be told. Too many players working away from home and too dangerous with travelling at speed to get to a game and back to base again never mind not being able to perform at their best. If the County Board men all worked away from home all week maybe they would understand - or maybe not. hairyhorse (Fermanagh) - Posts: 94 - 18/11/2014 20:11:24 1673165 Link 0 |
hairyhorse - no games on a Friday? Wise up please, any player (very much doubt you are) will take a Friday night game over a Sunday stupid o'clock 3.30pm game. In the summer Friday games can start as late as 8.30pm as we have plenty of light. solano (None) - Posts: 501 - 18/11/2014 20:23:36 1673170 Link 0 |
What a load of rubbish lads. There are club games played throughout other counties during the week and no doubt many have to travel far to get to a game. So why should Fermanagh be any different. Worse still, we have a small pool of clubs yet we still play into the middle of October which is unfair on players and their families.

Fermanagh held their first training session of the season outside on Sunday past, it was meant to be a really tough session. Erne_Supporter (Fermanagh) - Posts: 136 - 19/11/2014 20:14:10 1673490 Link 0 |
Are you for real Erne supporter? It's November. There is a lot of football to be played between now and championship season gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts: 4971 - 22/11/2014 21:11:44 1674276 Link 0 |
In yesterday's Sunday Independent, the Stephen Hunt, the Ipswich Town and Republic of Ireland star wrote: "As somebody who grew up in the GAA, I can tell you that, as much as I love the games, if GAA players tried to live with the level of commitment shown by a professional footballer, they wouldn't know what hit them."

Think you'd find sham that alot of people would 'commit' for the 10k per week or whatever stupid amount of money that eejit hunt is getting at ipswich. Argument is defunct RedRum (Fermanagh) - Posts: 267 - 02/12/2014 11:27:28 1675922 Link 0 |
I think if you look at it another way you could say that Gaelic footballers are even more committed as they have to hold down full time jobs & train & play. Susuki82 (Fermanagh) - Posts: 56 - 02/12/2014 14:44:11 1675986 Link 0 |
Sham on the one hand you are saying that players shouldn't be doing weights training etc in November because they will be burnt out, yet on the other hand you are saying they aren't committed enough. Could you make up your mind? gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts: 4971 - 02/12/2014 16:38:54 1676032 Link 0 |
