Well I may have said rumor but I think its pretty definite that the Boston teams are not taking part. This can be easily confirmed by the Boston people on here, but there hasn't been a cheep from them

Funny how these rumours end up in these discussion boards every few years. Either Chicago clubs aren't going to Boston or Boston clubs aren't going to Chicago. My guess is that the same people start up the rumours.

On a more positive note, any thoughts on what the most entertaining division and code will be this year?

If we had a County Board that knew what they are doing and not getting involved where they do not belong and further more interpreting and applying the rules properly maybe they would get a better response, We need a Co Bd that will do a better job of running and promoting the GAA in North America

The rumor has it that Boston will not be entering any teams to the North Americans this weekend in Chicago. Not very fair, granted it has 9 senior football teams and a very competitive championship but for the last 2 yrs teams from all over the country have made the effort, incurred all the expense and gone to Boston. But now the NAC are not in Boston, so they're just not going to bother.

It will be interesting to see if the $5000 fines will be handed out and paid..............

to the TheForgotten iwould have to say that anyone who is involved with the club could tell you that nerves had nothing to do with the manager leaving the club.
As many illegal players were involved with inter and junior teams this year, if not more than in past years. Most of the officers come from different clubs but have been involved as a unit for many years. You scratch my back etc. All officers should be required to step down and out after three years. Like musical chairs moving from one position to another to bypass term limits.

How can people complain about what's going on in the junior finals. It's been going on for years and until there is change at the top. There can be no change at all. Rules are made to be obeyed, not ignored.

The fact that all of the football "die hards, lifers, and big fans" are on this site talking about Donegal is absolutely ridiculous. The game that is being questioned was a match in which Donegal lost by 28 points, are we seriously trying to add more insult to injury? Donegal did the best they could to field a team and by all accounts it was a legitimate side. They did the best they could with what they had on the day. However, it seems to be forgotten or overlooked that Sligo and Monaghan have pulled out of the league the last few years. Why have they been allowed to do this with no scrutiny or punishment? Is it because they had NY GAA presidents behind them? Kerry won a Senior championship a few years back with Johnny Crowley flying back and forth every weekend, another no no. Donegal met the requirement of filling out the fixture and are being ridiculed for it. I suppose it would have been better for the club to fold like Sligo and Monaghan have done over the last 5 years. The fact that the Donegal junior manager has stepped down serves as no shock to those familiar with him, some people can't handle the pressures. However, it is sad to see him go as he has been a big cog in the NY GAA for the last 10 or so years. Despite all of this it still seems like it will be Donegal and Monaghan in the final with a physical and well contested match. Reality is Donegal just seems to be too strong this year despite the rumored shortcomings.

Who does everyone think will win this weekend? Donegal vs. Tyrone. I think Donegal by 2. Thoughts?

pray tell who is the 'new officer' you are referring to?

This rates special attention because the club in question has three NY board executive officers, the chairperson of the Senior football section and the newest member of New Yorks officers.

its an injustice because the home based players will get the boot as they aren't deemed good enough by management at all levels, such is the state affairs of winning in this town, its not about who the teams have, but who the teams can afford to bring over for a sense of achievement...the day that a team wins with all home based, that'll be the day

For all the big fans, lifers and faha siders, what drivel you have been posting lately. Talk about getting away with it, all ireland footballers have played here illegally,won championships and gotten away with it. Guess you posters dont bother with the big stuff. Certain teams create a very dismal picture in all divisions, pulling out, using assorted players and still achieve nothing, do they ever pay the fines?
