Always 1 junior football basher, to suggest that was a pure junior game in nonsense. They were excellent points from both teams, conor mccreesh our 15 gave the Glenbeigh fullback a roasting he couldn't lay a glove on him excellent footballer. I do agree Griffin was outstanding, but with our midfielder enda mcwilliams sent off he had so he had a lot of room to do damage. I've seen this rock team beat a moy beat as recently as 3 years ago with the 2 cavanagh's jordan &co in the intermediate championship to label those boys are pure junior footballers is wrong, most of them have spent most of their careers playing good level intermediate football. rockman1 (Tyrone) - Posts: 6 - 21/02/2017 15:58:03 1959218 Link 0 |
We have won 37 AI's with our system so I think we aren't doing badly with it

i spoke to kerry men and tried to get them to explain the whole set up of their laegue and championship. took a number of explanations to get it right, the kerry gaa men were not fully agreed when explaining to the structure. seemed a bit over complicated. could never understand why they just didnt have three divisions keepherlow (Tyrone) - Posts: 127 - 21/02/2017 16:27:27 1959233 Link 0 |
No they just got beaten every year by either a point or late goal to inferior teams on paper. However it should be noted those teams Templenoe (Div 2) and Brosna (Div 3) who beat them at the time won the All Ireland Junior which puts the Kerry haters firmly in their box KYTotalFootball (Kerry) - Posts: 280 - 21/02/2017 16:28:02 1959234 Link 0 |
if you get promoted\relegated in the league then that is reflected in the championship.. likewise if you win a championship then you can get promoted up a league.. it means that a team is playing against the same opposition in the league and championship... it sounds in some other counties that the league is ignored and teams can pick and choose what league they are in. No wonder that the GAA has trouble with organising fixtures and avoiding player burn out. The Kerry system of having 34 Junior teams between Junior and Junior Premier is a bit hard to fathom. That's more teams than are in all of Monaghan!

What part of 'Championship' and League being totally separate do Nordies not understand? I think the fact a team can be promoted without even winning its own Championship to a higher tier totally farcical but that's just me KYTotalFootball (Kerry) - Posts: 280 - 21/02/2017 16:35:55 1959240 Link 0 |
Jesus the Tyrone lads seem to have a serious issue with Kerry's club championships! TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 21/02/2017 16:46:37 1959251 Link 1 |
What a stupid comment With the way things are its more akin to the Kerry hurlers playing in the Lory Meagher :D TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 21/02/2017 16:51:48 1959254 Link 0 |
Hard to read all the whinging from a few posters. Dunno how it's run in the north but for any county I've experience of - so I'd say most but open to correction on 'most' - league and championship are separate competitions. So if you win the league that year, you get promoted in the league. If you win the championship then you get promoted in the championship and represent the county at the championship level you have just won. If you win one but not the other, you get promoted in one and stay the same in the other. Divisional teams are interesting, but irrelevant for this argument. The reason G/G are as they are is because they have been promoted in the league to division 1 over the last few years (and have not subsequently been relegated) but have only won the Junior championship this year... so they represent Kerry at Junior level. So up to now they have played Div 1 league and junior championship; 2017 will see them play Div 1 league and intermediate championship. wicklu (Wicklow) - Posts: 331 - 21/02/2017 16:54:32 1959255 Link 1 |
Cavan league and championship isn't the same as other ulster counties. Doesn't matter what league a team is in FoolsGold (Cavan) - Posts: 2763 - 21/02/2017 16:59:04 1959257 Link 0 |
I wasn't going to bother responding to you on this as I know I'm on a loser even talking to you on it but here goes: Monaghan, Down and Cavan posters along with the Roscommon posters who started the thread have also queried the set up not just Tyrone posters. I know you have a serious chip on your shoulder about Tyrone but just look through the posts and you will see this. Have you ever been in Slaughtneil? Enough said. Maybe instead you might just give a bit of credit to the fact Kerry club football is extremely competitive at all levels and what's considered junior down here is a match for clubs at higher levels in their own counties?? This makes no sense, the discussion is about teams playing Division 1 of Kerry competing against junior / Division 3 teams from other counties - i.e the weakest teams from other counties, teams that this type of competition was developed for. Can you understand that? benched (Tyrone) - Posts: 534 - 21/02/2017 17:14:14 1959264 Link 1 |
Limerick leagues and championship separate also. I remember our junior b club playing a senior side in division 4. m_the_d (None) - Posts: 1099 - 21/02/2017 17:44:10 1959272 Link 0 |
Thats the point i was making I'm certainly not knocking kerry football in any way, as there was a laois poster who said there were 3 senior championship teams playing in div 3 of there league against junior teams. I certainly didn't know this i just find it strange the way its set up, but certainly not knocking anyones county. Yourjoking (USA) - Posts: 706 - 21/02/2017 17:47:53 1959274 Link 0 |

we have been told by a previous poster that G/G picked to play junior championship... is this true? can you just pick what championship u want to? not much of a level playing field that? if true. keepherlow (Tyrone) - Posts: 127 - 21/02/2017 17:53:14 1959279 Link 0 |
No chip about Tyrone except to be honest and say there is a culture to yer football I wouldn't be a huge fan of. I think you'll find it was a couple of Tyrone posters who first started this thing of comparing divisions in the two counties when it's not relevant. You and others don't seem to comprehend that League and Championship in Kerry are completely separate. It's not that hard to get your head around.

Have you ever been in Rock in Co Tyrone. I bet it is as small as any of the clubs you list. I've always been confused about the Kerry championships, thanks for explaining. One thing, Dr Crokes are senior. Do they play the like of South Kerry, Mid Kerry in the senior championship, say in the first round? Another thing, would it not be extremely difficult to play with players from neighbouring clubs for teams like South Kerry. I mean you could be marking a player one week then playing with him the next. What happens if your marker said something to you............oh I forgot, that only happens in Ulster.

Are Glencar/Glenbeigh Junior or Junior premier?

In general the divisonal sides wouldn't have much trouble with that because as much as their is rivalry between clubs, playing for Kerry is the big prize for everyone and being on a divisional side means your putting your hand up.

Is it two up, two down, or one up, one down. Is promotion through league only? If the bottom two sides happen to meet in the championship final, would it also double as a relegation match? m_the_d (None) - Posts: 1099 - 21/02/2017 18:31:03 1959298 Link 0 |
