Great to see Glenn winning today. A club on the way up and will be a real force when they get all their players back. Good luck in the semi final.

Eamonn Burns was always a leader in Down football. He stood up in '91 and '94 when he was needed and yet again in 2016 when the county couldn't get a manager, he stood up. He was abused from everyone, and in particular on here, when things didn't go our way but he kept coming back. He took us to the Ulster Final in 2017 and I'm sure this gave him great pride, though the result never went our way. He was slated again in 2018 and sadly walked. We don't have enough men like Eamonn Burns who will put their shoulder to the wheel whenever they are needed. RIP Eamonn, you can be proud of your contribution to Down football in so many ways.
Well said Lotto. As you said Eamon stepped in for a number of years to manage the county during a time when some of the older boys were hanging up the boots and there wasn't much coming through to replace them. And not 1 in the county would have taken them either so for that we should be thankful and thank him for his not insignificant role during the glory years of the early 90's. For me his performances in the All Ireland Final of '91 and '94 Ulster final showed what a classy powerful player he was. Thanks Eamon for the memories...A gentleman and great GAA man. RIP Eamon.

Rashford is on 300k a week. They started giving massive wages after Sanchez signed.
He's still 21,that sort of money is bound to lose his drive a bit. He's done f all to be getting wages like that

Glenn took CPN to the wire last year they must be a shoe in for the inter
Yes, they nearly got past CPN elk, but the players we lost this season left us wondering how we were going to do at all this season.
We lost the two Millars, Niall McParland and Denis Murtagh.
Plus club captain Conor Cranney had a cruciate at the start of the season. Goalkeeper John O'Hare wasn't available, but is back now.
This is where, before the final, credit has to be paid to Tony Bagnall, his management team, and the players for what they have achieved this year.
They have had the mindset of we'll concentrate on who is here, not who is not here.
And the way the team has grown this year, the younger (and older) fellas stepping up to the plate and getting us to an intermediate final, I have nothing but admiration for the lads for getting this far.
Having said that, I will be sick if Shamrocks beat us!!

Good luck to both you and shamrocks may the best team win

In fairness Top 10 ranking doesn't mean a lot compared to soccer. There is only a handful of Rugby playing countries. It's good to see teams like Japan emerge. They don't play boring kick rugby, very slick with the hands.
Japan and Scotland are 1 or 2 places apart in the world rankings.
Last week Ireland looked clinical, sharp and controlled. While we won comfortably, it required the best to get the job done.
A week later, play a weakened team against similar level of
Opposiition. Things ok for 20 minutes. Next 60 minutes Ireland are dominated all over the field. Bland, predictable rugby and underestimating of the opposition. Adding to this, it was against home opposition.
Against England it was clear as day that a second/third choice players cannot cope.

Cuan can you explain how in gods name the ref done kilcoo tonight?? McArdle was pulling the trigger and a leg went in for the penalty, I could see it from the terrace.
Barry black carded McAvoy (which was correct) but gave Rooney a yellow for the same tackle I. The first half.
Not to mention a litany of Frees for Laverty some of which were questionable and Aidan Brannigan had numerous fouls ignored.
Barry is a poor ref and certainly not strong enough for a game of that calibre but the last couple of frees where frees and Kilcoo should have kicked on but ultimately allowed Burren unto them and Ronan McGrath punished them with the last kick. Also Bear in mind Donals poor imiss prior to Burren last 3 points.
Draw fair result and both teams will have to improve
