Few Monaghan men making the move to Leitrim
- > the 2 McGuinesses from Ballybay moving to Ballinamore SOH, heard word from Shane Moran this morning. Despite their age will be huge assets to the club, fair play bais

Replying To Magpie2: "You are 100% correct ulsterrules.
It's total madness that August and September was taken off the Gaa calender.
That leaves a huge gap between August and February. 6 months of zero activity on the intercounty scene. No sport in the world would consider having such a condensed season.
Kids and adults will inevitably turn to watching soccer or rugby or whatever and their hero's will come from those sports.
Nothing wrong with watching those games, that would be silly. Promotion of our national games is paramount. Without exposure you can't have promotion.
Yes of course we have club games and that's where it all begins. They are the grass roots of the organisation and ultimately provide intercounty players. However the intercounty is the bigger stage and by sidelining it for 6 months will weaken our footprint at a national level.
A return to all irelands in late August or even September is a must going forward." To what extent has the new calendar lessened exposure to inter County games?
Unless attendances and viewing figures are down theres no real evidence,even anecdotal evidence,to say that moving the calendar has adversely affected exposure.
If anything i would have thought that moving the semis and finals to june and july will increase exposure as theres often very little other sport on those months.

All these troll accounts on here now is very disappointing , we seem to have lost some great men from this forum, I remember having great debates with kileevan men last year for instance I hope they are enjoying watching their team now as they took a lot of flack last year for praising them

In July, somebody could start out with "I may as well watch the Gah because there's not much else on", and later that day, think "wow, I actually enjoyed that, I must watch more of it and maybe start going to a few games."
In September, same person: "The 'Pool are playing Arsenal on Sunday at the same time the Gah is on. I'll be watching the soccer."

If McNulty goes more luck to him, don't think it is so easy to get a contract like people are saying though.
Reality is there is a big two in Connacht and Galway and Mayo will always be the top dogs here hmm
