Difficult one to answer, not that popular among the players by all accounts as well.
There are similar thoughts about James also.Communication terrible and going on the two alcohol episodes there appears to no respect to the Management.Respect is usually earned but is non existent from both sides.
I think the time has come to moving from 91/94. Players of today won't have experienced that, never mind giving it respect.

Laverty and Clarke are mad to touch that job. They would serve the county better by staying with the u20s for another year or 2 and then raking the step up.
I have to agree with this....

As if Down didn't play shite enough to begin with, the management position is being linked with Jim McGuinness. God help down football if he comes in the door
The Irish News understands negotiations are at an advanced stage and that Conor Laverty and Jim McGuinness could be set to pair up alongside Marty Clarke as Down's new management team #GAA

Kilcoo did what they always do by doing just enough today. They identified the weakest and youngest Burren players, tracking them step for step with no opportunity to play or contribute, with these Burren players allowing themselves to be constantly bullied. Danny Magill, Kevin Mc Kernan and Burren's big hope Oran Murdock were taken out of the game. Mc Kernan has always lacked balls against Kilcoo so he is no big surprise but I expected more from Murdock. With no Kerr to break the Kilcoo line, Mc Corry had two weeks to come up with a plan B but there was no evidence of it today. Burren missed a big chance and their management/players can only blame themselves.

Can I also add that Brendan Rice, today's final referee, would do most of their in-house games and gets exceptionally well paid for them. The players know his style of refeering, what he blows and what he lets go, what you can get away with and what you can't. Some advantage to Kilcoo every year and Rice gets a fair few ££ as well. Win Win
Every team in Down knows the referees and their styles. What advantages did kilcoo have that Burren didn't have? Lotto take a wee rest and come back with something logical (that will take a while)

We just ran out of legs against The Bridge today in Newcastle, don't think the 8 point loss reflected the game. We've a young team and there'll be better days out for us. Burren or Kilcoos too win I think, infighting in Kilcoo might catch them out but they always seem to find a way through Down Championship

Have had the book sitting on a shelf for some time now but never got round to reading it, but I watched the programme, thought it was brilliant. I knew about the 12 Apostles but didnt know much about the actual attack on Croke Park, can picture the scene when they are telling the story ,would have been frightening.
The book is getting started tonight
Finished the book recently. Great read.  Micheal Foley tells not only the facts about that day but the storys of the teams and the individual victims.  Micheal is one of the contributors in the programme.

Brannigan and ward up in front of disciplinary committee tonight.
What is wrong with these Kilcoo players
Absolutely disgusting comments towards Paul Faloon
Disgusting in the highest order
Regardless of the result that has no place in our games
Ah it would make you cross
Disgusting
A one match ban each, I'm hearing. Maybe someone else could confirm.

Bit harsh on Kilcoo above.

It looked unruly but I'd think the same issue registered with everyone at once and they all felt compelled to give their tuppence. If I'm being honest I'd have done the same.

I'd need to go back to the last century to remember only 1 min of injury time in a game, let alone one with water breaks.

Good game though. Point are a very decent side, well balanced and well coached.

There'll be a few nails bitten tomorrow night when the draw is being made.
last century? And heres me thinking you are only a young pup 😄😄

Again great coverage by Pairc TV, but Kilcoo letting themselves down by trying to attack the ref at the end. Thought the ref had a good game, trying to let the game flow. Still confusion about what is a black/yellow, which penalised Kilcoo tonight and Rostrevor on Friday night. Would still fancy Kilcoo for the championship, but please stop crying at the ref.
hardly a good game, if he is confused about what is black or yellow. To be fair after watching  it I'm confused

That is very unfair on the person who got it, I hope he is ok. You are allowed to socialize, but I cannot see the GAA season finishing with all this going on. It is making people feel very uneasy. At the end of the day it is only a game of football or hurling. Is it worth all this? That twice Castlwellan have  had to close, that is an awful lot of pressure on their committee and volunteers.

I get what you're saying at me being a bit unfair, but if they had symptoms at the time you are supposed to self-isolate not socialise.. Just with the time it takes to have symptoms, book a test and get your results back the probably would have had symptoms at the weekend.

I think it'll be a domino effect once one club pulls out of league/championship for the year other clubs will follow, just a case of who blinks first.
castlewellan have now fallen to the virus.

Will we be allowed to go to any games at the weekend?
Are clubs going to stop people from attending?
Its not looking likely Downjim.

Its been rumoured that its a second club from Down, lets hope its a negative result for the individual.
