What's all this commotion about a plane at the game? Only caught 1st half on radio.

What a stupid stunt and waste of money.

That's a disgraceful stunt, and all it does is make Down a laughing stock. That's the sort of crap you see at English soccer.

Disgraceful stunt or not, he has been the one constant in over 20 years of under achievement both on and off the pitch.  A great win today and looking forward to next day out against the Orange hoors!

Down did very well today. Defended well after the gift of a goal for the games 1st score. Could've won by more. Cross field breeze didn't help either team. Great to see a big crowd in Newry the sun out and a Down win. Exciting week ahead. Athletic grounds wed night then Clones on Sunday.  Best of luck to both teams. On another note another hammering for the minors.

Hard to know what to do with the minors over the last decade or so. Just feels like a mental block at that age group. Starting to come good once they get to U20 now which is a positive. I noted in their warm up they looked a bit disjointed. I always feel like a warm up should a part of the match where you are able to show off how good you are to those around you a bit like doing the pads in boxing but lots of balls seemed to be going astray

[SHEEDY]

Honestly never seen a poorer Down team than that minor team today, was like a group they'd gathered up on the way, 20 point defeats 2 weeks in a row is embarrassing

Yes, it is 100% his fault Down lost by a point to Cork in 2010. He shouldn't have left Big Dan in full back or taken off Paul Mac. Sackable offences.

He did put that manager in place that day then again for good measure some 10 years later.

Great win yesterday. Credit to the team and managment. Far from perfect, but a group of lads that are willing to work hard for the Down jersey. Tackled in numbers and attacked at pace when the chance was there. Unlucky with the early goal, bouncing of Docherty's knee and into the forwards path. Past Down teams might of struggled to get back into the game but they showed great composure. Sunday will be a different test, and maybe to big of a step up. But a great test and hopefully we can make a game of it. Kerr, Magill, Doc, Havern, Rooney, Guiness players capable of hurting any team.

[Truth hurts]

Yesterday's performance in Newry was outstanding, and it was wonderful to see the clubs in Down supporting our county secretary last night. The perpetrators of that ought to be held accountable for their actions. This Sunday, we need a huge turnout in clones and show the country that Down is united.

[Truth hurts]

On the club front, Bryansford is off to a rough start, and the games do not get any simpler.
They travel to Burren on Friday evening.

Apart from 2010 AI Final..and finishing top of division 2 a few times, spending a few years in division 1 etc.

Despite not having silverware there have actually been a few good years in the last 20. It's easy forget them among the the terrible years

The one constant has been every club as well. The development squads/Mourne academy needs freshened up as its not fit for purpose. The minor squads have been terrible since 2005 so the work is not being done properly in clubs, schools and county.
