You forgot the finest of the lot in Croagh Park - not just seats, but Hogan Stand seats. Your arse is literally sitting on history.

It was always going to be Doon who dropped out of the big four
When you have a clare man in charge, what do you expect. DOD fought like an animal to his credit and AE played well if there is any positives
Ah they wonât be down long. A bad year perhaps. They still have what 5 county lads? DOD one of the best hurlers in the country. English one of the best young hurlers in the country.
Weâll win that pulling up,no weddings next week

Saw a video there of Hego doing a great bit of karaoke to Ronan Keatingđ Was he hurling this weekend with St. Patricks?
Knockaderry 3-22 Kilmallock 0-16. FT.
Thatâs a big win. They were trailing by 8 the last I saw the score.
Theyâll have to do a rethink on âburning playersâ.
It never sat too well With me the rule but too many teams will struggle for numbers and will lead to less players playing championship games.
Damn split season 
Its a stupid rule. In rubby to play a level before is if you started 50% or more games the season before or to that point in the season at the higher level
I remember it being queried before and the answer was too much admin involved.
Itâll lead to the 2nd and/or 3rd teams of clubs struggling for numbers. The rule is there to protect junior clubs and rightly so, but I would change it to something like you are only burnt if you play more than a half of a game.

Not really tbh. 15 per team each week. Upto the management to count, objections come easy from opposition.
I assume there is electronic submittion of team sheets?
âTwas a good while back now when i remember it being talked about.

I know why the rule is in place.
Itâs complex but surely something better could be thought off.
The split season does help a bit in that regards, as if a lad is burnt the competition is over relatively quickly after that.
Used to be a disaster for lads getting burnt in the first round in April and basically out of action then until September.

I donât mind the rule.but managers putting on a fella for 5 minutes to then not play again.management teams need to be held accountable when they burn players like that.happens my own club nearly every year.

Happens everywhere mate. I almost used to hate getting the âWarm up there ladsâ with 5 minutes to go in a Championship game, knowing well you wouldnât be eligible for the Junior Bâs during the week. Very hard to make an impression in 5 minutes. Especially as a young lad when all you want to do is play games. In my first year out of U21 I played a grand total of 10 mins Championship all year after being burnt in the first round of City Championship. Not ideal.

Burning fellas for a few mins at a higher level, meaning its the last action they see all year drives more lads away from the sport than the split season or old pre split season. Doesnt matter what time of year it is most fellas just want to play
