Replying To Sligoman1234: "Just four days until some teams play in knockout stages and still no venues set, with exception of one Intermediate game but that may be due to who is playing in it more than anything. Until yesterday afternoon they didn't know what day or time. This isn't good enough. Other counties with much larger fixture calendars can have things in order." Until the clubs really make a stand and really make it clear that its unacceptable what's going on nothing will change, Shamrock gael's and Tourlestrane being brought to Enniscrone for Junior A. Games on at 5pm on a Sunday evening, no consideration for lads living outside the county or back at college.

Unfortunately despite all the hard work, preparation and organisation put in by teams over the course of a year, it can be completely undone at the whim of an utterly not fit for purpose CCC.
The lack of respect shown to clubs and players is astonishing. Fixtures that have been on website and in the master calendar as being down for a particular weekend being changed at 4/5 days notice, completely disregarding any commitments that players may have outside of football. I'm sure all of the affected teams have had training schedules and personnel choices that have been influenced by proposed dates for relegation games, semi finals or quarter finals.
A lot has been said about the strides made last year and credit where it's due, the fact it wasn't a particular taking point means it was a job well done. Unfortunately, while fixing games on a Monday/Tuesday for the following weekend and not paying any heed to weekends off in the master calendar during the league did raise some concerns, it probably should have been a sign of the impending disaster. Venues, dates and times should be left to the competing teams to organise at this point.
While there's no doubt it's a logistically challenging task, there are innumerable easy options staring the county board in the face which make life easier on the lowly club player. If only that was the priority.

Replying To katser: "The Galway Premier Junior is a joke..whoever gets relegated from Intermediate will go straight back up the following year and so on ect ect.
There are Clubs in Premier Junior who will never see the light of Intermediate again just stuck in Junior forever.
There should be relegation from Premier Junior to Reeves Cup and promotion from Reeves Cup to Premier Junior..
If a Clubs 2nd team are good enough to win their way up the grades let them play Intermediate.
The majority of Reeves Cup teams would beat the majority of those Premier Junior teams." We've been over this before. The clubs voted quite strongly in favour of the new format. We had a ridiculous situation under the old format of senior players from big clubs playing the first few rounds of the Junior championship. It was very unfair to whoever met them in the first few games.
We'll see how it goes over the next few years. I wouldn't be so sure it will pan out as you say, based on your other predictions.

Replying To GreenandRed: "I'm talking about Hoganstand forum. Too many AKAs." do you know any web discussion forum that does require a person to put their own ID up to post?
Its hard enough to get people to post without having that and why would people want that to be in place?

Was at the Corofin v Caherlistrane game and very entertaining in tough conditions.
Man of the match was Rory Fahey for Corofin and well deserved.Hard to understand how he wasnt part of Galway minor panel this year.Couldnt be 12 better forwards in the county
Not far behind was Caherlistrane midfielder.

Takeaways from this weekend
- Cremartin and Corduff would be the 5th/6th best team in intermediate this year.
- How on earth did we let Conor Boyle walk away from the county panel two years ago. As good a man marking job as anyone has done on Mooney.
- Give Matthew Carolan a full McKenna cup and some league football next year.
- Magheracloone have been well and truly found out. All well and good doing well in the league whenever Latton and Castleblayney are the only other teams that care about it. New management needed, badly.
- The 5 Village Amalgamation are about to win the easiest county medal that any of the 5 villages have ever seen.
- Love a south Monaghan derby.
- Transfers have killed our Senior club scene. Carrick would be an irrelevant cause without the Louth man. It just doesn't feel right. Although, Inniskeen can't really say much about it after Durnin.

Replying To katser: "Under the current rules there is no promotion to Premier Junior, so the highest grade a Club can go is Reeves Cup.
From Junior F,E,D,C,B,A and then Reeves Cup. Madness!!" No promotion for second teams. Tuam would be promoted to premier junior if they won Junior A.

Should Football Teams Now Focus On Two-Pointers? - 1 Like(s)
I think teams should concentrate on getting the ball over the bar or under it as quickly and often as possible, whether that be for 1, 2,3 or 4 points

Has somebody lost the keys to the Markievicz Park gate? Solution to the CCC's problems staring them in the face. I suppose they want to protect a pitch that hasn't had a game on it in months at the expense of club pitches that they will willingly flog to death.
The lack of notice for fixtures and inexplicable moving of any game, but especially championship knockout games, from one weekend to the next at 4-5 days notice is not good enough.
Bring in Home and Away games. Open up Markievicz Park. Map out the Championship fixtues in advance and give the players, coaching teams and supporters something so they can plan their lives.
