Who was the Coalisland Maor Foirne? An absolute p***k.

We know him only as coach! What did he do on you?

In Galbally yesterday for the games.

First game Loughmacrory vs Augher was over after 10 minutes.  Men vs Boys stuff.  Loughmacrory a very young looking team, basically full of cubs from what I seen.  Then I seen the Augher team full of experience with plenty of boys who have played division 1 league and championship and have been around this number of years.  In the end Augher just had to much physicality, too much know how, too much experience and really just squeezed and bullied the life out of Loughmacrory.  It was a complete schooling, think there was something like 11-12 points in it and could have been more as Augher squandered at least 2 more decent goal scoring chances when they were already up by about 10 points.  If they can maintain that level of performance, they could give D2 championship a real rattle.  As for loughmacrory, you dont win friends with salad and you dont win championships with cubs.  A harsh lesson yesterday for them in the cut and thrust of championship football, looked shell shocked as they would have been heavily tipped going into the game based on a great league campaign so far for them.

Second game Killyclogher vs Derrylaughran really failed to get going.  First half was slow, ponderous stuff with DL huffing and puffing but running into cul de sacs and coughing up possession.  I do think teh weather deteriorated quite drastcially between the 1st and 2nd game in fairness with DL playing against a strong wind first half.  Really defensive stuff from both teams made first half a hard watch and game was over at half time as KC had maybe a 7 point lead.  Second half just sort of fizzled out with KC never in any trouble, a forgettable enough game with inevitable outcome.  Mark Bradley the stand out.  Hard to call Omagh and KC next round as both dont seem to have set the world alight in the opening games.  Still, its a great local derby, maybe KC just might have the edge with an in form Bradley.

Sean Hurston was very poor tonight two black/yellow card decisions against Dromore men ignored and the most blatant penalty decision ignored. If Dromore had of won I'm sure Coalisland would have been furious. Big Hampsey was magnificent and Sparky Bradley in the earlier game was also a joy to watch. Dromore far to negative Niall Sludden a sweeper! Jesus wept 🙈

Correct about sludden. Farcical watching it at times in the first half. Dromore half gone from a great game plan of spreading the play wide with the footpass under porter, to 15 men behind the ball with Donnelly coaching. Terrible.
Who was managing the team out there tonight, looked like Rickey to me in the first half. Coaisland were definitely value at 2/1 last week but I can't see them beating errigal.
Time to abandon pomeroy. Never have I seen a high scoring game there. May as well make more out of Healy park

Why is it farcical to play niall sudden as sweeper.

If you have to ask the question......

Maybe Ciaran Meenagh who has been managing Dromore now for 3 or 4 years knows the players at his disposal better than you. Maybe he felt Dromore were weak defensively and possibly hoped that Sludden would also give them something going forward unmarked.

Or maybe you know better

. Aye, his first round exit proves he's worth the money.

Aye,

I think that is quite a few first round exits for Ciaran.  Certainly worth the money.

Your lads have wasted a few pounds over the years too

Was it Jarlath O'Hagan? Is he managing the team or what, from where I was standing he seemed to be calling the shots.

The whole project will go down as a miserable failure, happens. Good few retirements now I would say.

Sure was.  Main instigator of the whatsapp coup a few months back but totally vindicated at this stage!

But we know when to cut our loses.  Not blaming Dromore for trying but i thought after losing to Clonoe last year that a change of management would have been required.

Dromore have lost by a point last three years when they've been eliminated from the Championship.

Why can't they get over the line in tight games?

This guy. I dont know what hes talking about? You would have to act the candyman with the way hurson reffed it.

GAA needs to look at second half injury time rules.

9 minutes 30 seconds played in the second half wind assisted. With 0 real stoppages.

1 minute played in the 1st when dromore against the wind and ward taking somewhere between 40-50 seconds a kick out + oneills injury.

Simple rule change. 2nd half substitution are 15 seconds for injury instead of the 30 theyre adding.

Considering teams sub at the same time.

Why would there be different rules for each half?

Hurson added on more time because Coalisland kept kicking the ball away for frees and kickouts once they went ahead.

Superb Fianna tactic in recent years this.

Lads we went in front with a minute to go in injury time and he gave them an extra 2 minutes to bring the half time to 39 minutes.  Did the fianna lads kick the ball away for a full minute?

Was at a few games over the weekend. Errigal looked flying fit, serious turn of pace from them. Carmen actually took off players that were performing well. Overall the better team won. Dromore disappointed yesterday, Their tactics were baffling at times, they have one of the best forward units around and yet played 12-14 men behind the ball. Could understand sludden playing as a sweeper in the first half against the breeze but with the wind second half he spent far too much time in his own half. Hampsey was immense, MOM by a mile. Coalisland errigal will be interesting. Cant see errigal allowing the short kick outs or the free man for kick outs the way dromore did. Is johnny curran injured?

[BIGONE]

yes. ACL

A great win for Augher yesterday against loughmacrory.
I really expected it to be a tight encounter, but we had far too much for them on the day.
A tough lesson for a inexperienced Loughmacrory team, but they have a good few talented young lads, so I expect them to push on and be a senior team in the next few years.
Owen roes in the next round will be a different kind of game i expect, you rarely get a high scoring game up in Pomeroy so it could be a defensive battle.
