I'm going to try and bring a proposal through my club to county level that the allocation of inter county referees should be random and not as currently is. All the top referees have the division 1 games and the new and experimental ones at inter county level get the division 4 games.
Why can't we get the top referees?
Aren't we all equal and striving for the best for our respective teams.

Replying To TheFlaker: "You still try and claim you had a point by mentioning them. I know all about why they were set up but they failed. That's the point. And here you are still arguing. Even your points to the Athlone poster. Rugby is miles behind GAA, soccer and athletics and that isn't going to change. That was my point. Are you seriously going to try and say I am wrong?
I have 2 kids in primary school currently playing sports. And another one starting shortly. The nearest rugby club is an hour away. There are 4 GAA clubs in a 10 mile radius. and 4 soccer clubs. There are also 2 athletics clubs in that same small area. 3 Boxing clubs. The rugby clubs don't even have girls mini teams. They try and fail. There are more people boxing than playing rugby. Boys and girls. So please tell me about the numbers playing rugby and how they haven't dropped off." you love to post up so called facts and never back them up. more boxing than rugby? Show me the proof. have you ever linked proof to anything on this site. as you are never wrong and never actually back anything up with proof bar saying you are right and everyone else is wrong.

Replying To legendzxix: "Jimmy McGuinness got on his high horse complaining about provincial championships starting a week after the league finals, and rightly so. He was fully right.
Jimmy McGuinness talked the talk. GAA HQ responded by creating a free weekend after the league finals. Jimmy McGuinness must now walk the walk and lead Donegal to the league final. Any pulling up of the handbrake will be hypocrisy of the highest order." Jack got on his high horse last year because media and some Kerry supporters critised Kerry for their displays before the Armagh championship match.
It didn't bother me in the slightest so don't you be getting annoyed by what Jim says.

Its ok for Kerry, you won't have a meaningful knockout championship game that you might lose until nearly July. Plenty of time for Jack to work on whatever he wants to work on.

Replying To crispsandwich99: "Anyone know when the results from the weekend will be put up on the website and the fixtures for next weekend? I see the Downs and Lomans result from Friday night is up but nothing else for whatever reason" If you are on Instagram, there's a new account called LakeCountyGAA which seems to be a private initiative (ie non county board) who is publishing club results very promptly - has obviously spotted a gap in the market.

Replying To legendzxix: "Football supporters having to sit through 40 minutes of hurling highlights is wrong. Football highlights should be first when the football league is linked to championship." They should take turns. Fair is fair.
And the Football League shouldn't be linked to the Championship anyway. Its a great standalone competition as it is, probably better for all the counties taken as a whole than the Championship.

Replying To KillingFields: "I named south sligo. so what. i could name other new clubs now and youd find some way to try dismiss it. playing numbers are not this bad way you want to make them out to be. but you can never be wrong can ypu" You named South Sligo and Crossmolina. You try and pretend you know more than everyone on Rugby, so much so you name clubs that don't exist.
I don't talk about the numbers down your way because I am not down there enough to see what's going on. But that didn't stop you arguing against me about what's going on in my province. Rugby is less popular now and as I already said with the increase in training days for GAA teens it will drop further. Rugby is well behind Gaelic Football, Hurling, Soccer and Athletics and it's not going to change.

Replying To Tadhg2020: "Yes, that is why the 2 back row forwards were moved to the centre positions. They were bigger and more powerful at that time than my lad. Not anymore but it was enough for my lad to stop. The collisions got much bigger overnight and he didnt want to miss out on other sports due to rugby injury.
Your point is also well made on hurling facing similar problems. As a limerick man living in Midlands it is definitely an issue when it comes to promoting hurling. In my experience they tend to drop hurling and rugby and stick with GF and soccer unless they are particularly good at rugby/hurling or particularly bad at GF and soccer.
Its a challenge promoting hurling and Rugby. There is no rugby club within the county of Roscommon. Creggs are a North East Galway club who pull players from Roscommon but not a Roscommon club. Then there is the travel issue. Kids are on buses for hours to play a game. That doesnt happen so much in limerick for example. You are leaving Athlone at 8am to plsy Ballina or Sligo at 11am. Its a full day gone. Its an inhibitor.
Hurling suffers from not enough teams to play and now the Tain League means similar travel to rugby.
GF and soccer have far less challenges in that regard in the Midlands and connacht particularly" You're technically right that there's no rugby club in Roscommon but in my opinion those that want to play rugby have plenty of options. They have Buccs, Creggs, Dunmore, Ballyhaunis, Longford and Carrick on Shannon. Three of them are literally on the county boundaries. Dunmore and Ballyhaunis are a stones throw from the Roscommon border. All of them are drawing players from Roscommon and their specific location. County and parish boundaries are utterly irrelevant in a rugby club.
The GAA infrastructure is well ahead of rugby in these areas in the sense that there are more clubs. Not disputing that. GAA Clubs were founded a long time ago and when logistics were a lot more complicated. GAA clubs are now struggling for numbers in a lot of areas. There's lots of pitches and clubhouses but less people to fill them. Tough decisions will have to be made in terms of amalgamations.

Well done to Mark Mchugh & his team on a well deserved win in the park yesterday afternoon. It was a great display of attacking football on a heavy pitch. If we can eliminate the unforced errors in defence that led to the 2 Fermanagh goals then we must be in with a good shout of finishing top 2. There were a number of outstanding performances yesterday especially amongst the younger members of the panel - Danny scahill, Matthew Whittaker and brian cooney played extremely well. It was a close call between Matthew & Brian imo for MotM. Onwards to portlaoise under the lights on Saturday evening. Best of luck to Senan for a speed6 recovery from what looked like a fairly serious shoulder injury. Hopefully Jonny lynham is back for the Laois game as he'll be needed around midfield.

I won't, promotion might not really have served us in the long run just yet, it's a very new team and yo-yoing again won't say that we are actually improving. As stated we still seem to have the same old problems.
But the managerial cycle appears to be 2/3 years in a role then move on so no guarantee Poacher will get the chance to continue the rebuild

Replying To ConyersHill04: "Yet 2/3 County Champions were in Ulster Finals? How is that average?" The standard of club football is the worst it's been in 20 years. God almighty could be the county manager and he wouldn't have a hope. I keep posting and pointing out here what I'm seeing at club level and it's grim.
Reserve football is dead, A team league football is dead and the championship is for most a 3-5 game season. So for most young footballers coming through there's at best 3-4 games played in anger a year.
Looking at the championship games this few years and most clubs are still looking to players who were at their peak 12 years ago.. Latton, Ballybay, Maghercloone, Harps, Clontibret, Doohamlet were all looking to men Nearly 40 years old to for answers.
Want another symptom of Monaghan's decline? No Dublin college has a player from Monaghan on their Sigerson cup panel - jordanstown has 4 and 3 are from Truagh. Your clubs that used to be the backbone of the county are no longer providing and as we've seen once the Scotstown lads are taken out of the mix you're getting thumped by 15 points. The main Scotstown lads aren't getting any younger either…
My best guess is the biggest issue currently facing Monaghan football is that every competition outside of the Senior, Intermediate and Junior championship's has melted away to irrelevance and young lads coming through are getting no chance to develop. If cubs aren't on a development squad they've no hope.

Replying To farneygael3: "Would David McCague come in and manage the team? Might get a kick out of them before Cavan" Managing a team that my granny could win 3 championships with given the dip into the transfer market and huge resources hardly qualifies him to take the senior Monaghan gig…
