No he gave up football, too much politics in it. The lads he used to play with would be at the pitch now doing a few laps like they are elite footballers. Then he passes them by...

Lads playing football wouldnt be solely training for running in fairness. Short bursts of speed more important than fast 5k times. Id say if the club manager saw him running like that they'd be straight in his ear l though lol.

That is true. When I was playing football and running heavily I got too weak physically for the football. I was down to 12st 7 at 6'3". When I was in my mid twenties and training properly for GAA I was 14st 2.

Sinus can be either bacteriological or viral. Antibiotics only good for the first one. Though sinus issues are often as a secondary to some type of allergy. Eitherway can be a feckin pain in the hole.

Few lads I know are pure athletes but poor footballers. I'm neither an athlete or a footballer lol.

Just coincidentally last night before i read your post on it,i heard the same thing. A beef barons sons name was mentioned as being involved.

As you say we'll see soon.

It would be good to see it keep trading, if it's the Carnaross Man he has made some job of it, it's flying & getting alot of cattle. I have met him around it a few times, very helpful & sound in fairness.

Sheep and sucklers when I was there too. Field on the right of the entrance in was wheat the year I was in it. Spent many a night in the shed there lambing ewes. Even got the leg over the young lass that was out there with me one night. Great times

In all the times I was over there I never knew there was a big fancy house on the grounds. I'm some dope.

I think that was in wheat the year I was there too.
One lad was sent to Sopwell to roll a field of wheat and given clear instructions how to get to the field.
Somehow he rolled a field belonging to a farmer about a mile away from where he should have been.
Lambing was an experience all right, coal fire burning in the grate for a month, and the kettle always on the boil. Drop of the craythur helped as well....

I’d lose 2 stone from Jan to Apr, and then be too light for the hits I was giving and taking
I think allot of our training was wrong
Doing runs & sprints when we should of been working on gameplays
Generally there’s not much difference in team’s fitness but the match ups & tactics sway results

I enjoyed gurteen too, no money but was good crack. 'twas fairly cold when we were there, we were in the dorms over the arch, think it was girls rooms after, cook was kinda related so that helped, couldn't afford the glue pot too often ,

Fair point but any decent standard of a ball player would want to be able to knock off 5k comfortably.

See the youngest lad who is 12 has to do 3k for football training. Some of the lads cant do it.

I was involved in training underage gaa. One coach was all about fitness. He had them running for 40mins. Doin lap after lap. When it came to doin ball work they were not interested and tired. I had a big row with him. I never seen the point in bein super fit if you can't kick a ball. We only had them for 3 hours a week. I think it should be 75% ball work and 25% fitness. Not running 3km,5km or 10km. Sprints and movement are whats used in matches not running 3km non stop.

When we would be at the pitch there's lads practicing their sprints. First of all they measure out the distance with poles. This takes about 10 minutes. Then warm up, another 10 minutes, 10 minutes doing sprints, 10 minute cool down and take down the poles.

This is for training at home during lockdown when they get back to proper training there's very little laps etc

Remember being at a club meeting where allot of giving out why there was numbers at senior level
I was shaking my head as main winger had dumped/refused to train U12’s he didn’t think we good enough to win the grade
Sadly it’s a story in every club & county which repeats itself

The other one that bugs me is bringing up the stars from the age group below and those who are the age dont get to play but are welcome to come and train.

I coach u10s and a light warm up- jog half the pitch.... some couldn’t do it.

Different lifestyles now.
We used load 3/4trailers of turf, cycle 3 miles to training, train and cycle home. That being said, we were pure useless at training/matches after being at turf.(was no good anyway)

Odelay

In my day there were soft lads that wouldn’t be fit for training after loading a few trailers of turf and a short 3 mile cycle to training. Said they were tired after it ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

Up to u15/16 it should be every player gets a game. at 15/16 i can see the merit in playing competitively. Best coaches are the ones who improve a whole panel from the start of the year to the end and not just the couple of stars. Underage coaching is a nightmare id imagine as if you have a big panel not everyone can always get a game. Always feel sorry for the sons/daughters of managers as they are always the first to get the curly finger no matter how well/poor they are going in a game.

Smaller sided games such as 6 v 6 are better underage as lads get more contacts.

The Portuguese and Spanish soccer teams focus on that. More on developing skills rather that winning at under age. Signs on it came to fruition with their success in recent years.

The right funny man darcy. Many a battle with the father was had when it came to football training time. We didn’t see the bigger picture he was looking at.

It is a badly written piece. It gives the impression that dog walkers had an automatic right to access farmland which isn't the case on private land in Ireland - "Dog walkers will no longer have access to farmland under a new nationwide ban ..."

The article also seems to give the impression that its some new piece of legislation specifically being pushed by farmers.

And neither going to help fix the issue of those out for a ramble who ignore signs eitherway.

Who ever came up with it - really hasn't thought it through imo

White Clover

Did ye see the segment about the rescued dog on the 9 news last night? The owner said they were out for a walk when the two dogs saw a deer and took off after it.
No mention that the dogs were not on leads and no mention of what destruction the dog could have caused. Ignorance at its best.

An absolute piece of wizardry by Kerry IFA.

It got the message across loud and clear.


All we're bitchen about on here is the specifics and minutiae of the article.
People nowadays couldn't give a fiddlers about nothing only themselves. They've just heard that their pooches are banned from comonages and farmland. There's outrage now at that from dog walkers.

Job done. Mentioned nationwide on the media. Well done Kerry IFA.

Wouldn't be the first time that happened, so much begrudgery against IFA, IFJ, teagasc, etc
. farmers are to be pitied now, the new moves on cattle prices should be an absolute pantomime.
Well done whoever thought up those signs, cheap and effective, should be put up everywhere now
