Peter Turley was dropped too readily. He would have been great for winning kickouts for a half in the league. The prize this year was promotion to Division 2, we're not going to win Ulster. Today's game had huge significance. We weren't set up right for it & decision making on the line was poor. Massively disappointing as we really could have been a decent Division 2 team

Playing McKernan as an orthodox corner back was plainly a mistake that should have been rectified but wasn't. The settled full back line of Wells, Collins & MaAleenan with McKernan as sweeper would have been a much better option. As others have stated, the absence of a functioning kickout strategy & effective Midfield is baffling. Louth ghosted through our halfback line far too easily in the first half & had they been decent finishers would have notched up another 5 or 6 points. Paul Devlin should have come on in the first half to kick long range points when we had the wind advantage. Lot of managerial mistakes today. Defeat snatched from the jaws of success but the players lacked urgency & creativity & must take some blame - with the notable exception of Darren O'Hagan.

In an unfortunate accidental clash with his own teammate during a passage of play

Why null and void the match when went to full time?  To do that would give Ballyholland an advantage.  Ballyholland started the row that led to the first match being abandoned when they were 12 points down.  A Ballyholland spectator started the row in yesterday's game.  They would be rewarded for thuggery. You really didb't think that one through, did you?

Heard it was a shockingly bad performance from the ref

Why not put it to the people of the North of Ireland in a referendum on wether they wish to remain as part of the EU Customs Union?

Cologne has about 6 different Christmas markets, some of which run into each other. Really enjoyed it & the locals seem to be a happy, easy going lot. As a break from all the festivity you can visit the former gestapo interrogation centre!

No, definitely only 4 RGU men & only two that were actually used.

I wonder who Smurfy thinks the5 Downpatrick players on the Down panel were. The actual number was 4 - Turley, Doherty, Bell, & McGrady

Murray's job is to get as many ex-St Colman's players onto the team as he possibly can.

Mayobridge edged RGU by 2. Hoops missed a penalty, Magee blasted in over the bar. Shortly after, ref give Benny Coulter a penalty for ......er... being Benny Coulter, as far as anyone could see. Bridge keeper made a fingertip save from a 25 yard piledriver from Collins near the end. Exciting enough game, but plenty of errors.

Too quick on the button, thought Derry lost to Fermanagh!

How do we stay up? We're on five points with Clare but with an inferior scoring difference.

Strange decision to bring Flynn in for Carr

Defence was wide open at times in the 2nd half last Sunday, changes definitely needed there.
