we are the juiors what needs to be improved

[superdacentrower]

well since everyone thinks junior rowing is going down hill
i was wondering if any of you had any ideas
because at the end of the day we are the juniors

[madaboutsculling]

What needs to be improved? Your spelling!

[mysteryrower]

his spellings grand its his punctuation and grammer thats wrong

[arl3s4]

So is yours.....( should be it's /that's and grammAr )

[dirtydouble]

yer givin out bout spellin mistakes!!!! this is for rowing about rowing and not ur skul work

[scullingthenation]

Not the type of message they were looking for dirtydouble!
But he's quite right. Apparently the members of Irish Junior Rowing have little to say for once.

[mysteryrower]

Maybe they have nothing to say because unlike some sad senior members of the board they dont have the free time or inclination to log in every day and make bullshit comments about everything

[waheeeeeey]

Seriously..Fighting over capital letters, punctuation marks and sentence orders..a bit pathetic for a rowing discussion board?

[superdacentrower]

its not my spelling thats bad its my typing
but seriously what do people want done
our are you just going too say stupid comments

i'd like too see more camps happining
maybe a proper league so the reggatas would be more competitive

[mysteryrower]

Dey hav a league 4 jnr 14 nd jnr 16 quads but its shit becos u hav 2 go 2 crappy regattas lik carrick 2 b in it nd half d junur 16s in it dont even no what it is dey could have the same for junior quads and 8s at if dey held it at lik metro limerick cork monkstown and athlone published it more in d race programs nd gav a gud prize at d end derd b a higher standard more entrys and evrything would b generally betr also clubs shud do more strenght weights and 2ks even in winter no1 gives a shit about heads regatas r wat mattr so d mor practice u get in in winter d betr ul do wen it counts

[superdacentrower]

meh i agree thats why i said a propper league every club is not going too go too small reggatas
have it at the full status ones
regarding the prise money i'd say maybe its not about the money really(hahaha)
what we need is a really competitive title like the anderson trophy in galway that would create more of an atmosphere

the heads should stay i think they are important as the make sure you have an endurance base

[dirtydouble]

any1 no da selection process 4 camp after xmass?? few dat made homes last yr noy on da list? r dey unavailable or is favourtism for some clubs startin to show?

[restrictedrower]

i think we are missing out entirely on the point here, besides the stupid comments about punctuation,

irish junior rowing is a joke when it comes to international standard (yes i havent made a squad) but i believe that this year there is an enormous amount of potential in the junior mens sculling, there is probably one of the colsest groups we have ever seen at the top of junior sculling, micks,waterford,pres,offaly,skbb etc. would it not be a good year to single out the top 8 or 12 (2 or 3 raceable quads to train against each other) and go all out to send a quad to the worlds? this would mean higher standard of irish junior rowing as there are alot of people with the abilty to make these boats, the corresponding athletes then race coupe or homes if they dont make the final boat, this would also mean a huge hall of irish international medals if you have prospective world crews racing at the coupe

in relation to prises for winners, this isnt really that possible and at least in rowing medals arent as tacky as in other sports, maybe best club at a regatta could win a monetary investment?

a league for quads fours, doubles, sculls and eights would be a huge incentive.
like gaa "league" would be a secondary nat champ, and the champs would be the "all ireland" so to speak

[superdacentrower]

hopefully people don't think we're that much of a joke
the junior squad did well enough junior worlds is a big step up and its going too take something good too have a go for that.

[sexycox]

i think the idea of a league for the big regattas would be a sucess...it would start making regattas more competitve and you would get better turn outs for them...
