Quote from: ardtole on April 28, 2024, 09:53:02 AMI've been going to Down matches since the 80s and yesterday was nothing short of dreadful.
We were 2 points up with approx 15 mins to go v Armagh in an Ulster semi final and my main concern was, I hope this doesn't go to extra time.
If playing like that is what it takes to be competitive, it's not a price worth paying as far as I'm concerned, and judging by the size of the crowd, I'm not alone. Would there have been 2000 Down supporters in Clones yesterday?
I recognise that plenty will take positives from yesterday's performance and to a degree, I can see where they are coming from. Laverty done nothing wrong yesterday, he broke no rules as such but mother of God, the powers that be must take action sooner rather than later because as a spectacle that game yesterday is unacceptable.
And I don't think I'm looking through rose tinted glasses about games from previous era's, plenty of them were poor too. I know Jarlath Burns has put together an impressive looking task force to deal with the predicament football finds itself in, and I'm sure they can use yesterday's game as an indicator of what drastic measures are needed to cure our game.
Down are not alone either, a lot of counties employ similar tactics, at times we have played excellently under Laverty, Cavan away last year in the Tailtain cup was a great performance. But I really do hope there are rule changes made to avoid what happened yesterday repeated. And even if we won yesterday, I'm sure I would be saying the same thing.

After all they have been the best team in the world since he took over
Granted they ran into a City team in their prime, but one Covid EPL title seems to be underwhelming.
Unpopular opinion I'm guessing.
One of Liverpool's greatest managers, end of story.
Without him, City would be heading for seven in a row. No one else has even run Pep close, never mind taken him to the final day. Plus, three CL final appearances, one won.
Underwhelming me arse.
Leicester not win won during pep's time?
Quote from: Mourne Red on April 17, 2024, 08:00:25 PMNot too confident tonight - Think Odegaard will show up tonight as he always does but think still a bit of inexperience in the side that will see Bayern through. Hopefully I'm proved wrong mind
Quote from: Captain Obvious on April 14, 2024, 06:31:13 PMCredit to Aston Villa a solid season for them and will fully deserve 4th place should they get it. A real shrewd appointment bringing in Emery and if he was given the same time with Arsenal as Arteta has got they could well have won a league title by now.

Have they not a full squad to pick from?
No. Thiago and Matip out for season, five or six other players on way back. Did the likes of TAA and Jota look sharp to you after they came on?
Salah looks jaded. Endo has been off it the last few weeks.
