Down Club Hurling & Football

[Line Ball]

What's the story with Benny. 1 minute its reported he is coming back to Down now he says he isn't. 
County board looking like idiots again.
Best of luck to Benny he owes Down football nothing. He gave his all for long enough.

Tweeting in the early hours of the morning that he is sticking with Mayobridge next year

Maybe having a few pints after closing time.

Nothing to see!there appears to be plenty to see when Benny made such a big deal of his retirement,a bigger deal of how he was really put out to retirement by McCorry,an equally as big a deal when he was to come out of retirement and now an obviously late night session leads to a tweet on his Twitter account saying and that he is still retired.Take the blue/white blinkers off and you may well be able to see the picture of what is going on here.

If Benny had maybe of been Zzzzz-ing at that time of the night or morning this wouldn't be under discussion.

Benny has Jarlath Burns as our new County Manager in the Democrat this week.😀

I wonder was this written around the same time of day as Benny's Twitter post?

[rosskarr]

 All a prank according to Benny in today's Irish News.All systems go for Benny in 2016.

[cut the crap]

Prediction time , Benny may come back to the county, he will be used as an impact sub , he will fail miserably and people will remember him for that and not for the wonderful performances he gave us , take a bit of advice from an old player , enjoy your club football and retire from the county scene with dignity and pride, certainly get involved with the coaching and monitoring of young talent , you deserve all the accolades but don't give the begrudgers cause to run you down.

[PAULD123]

It depends on what is meant by an impact sub. If he was still good enough to play as he did before then he would be in the starting 15. So he will not come on an do exactly for twenty minutes what he used to do for 70. If he could do it for twenty then it is only fitness stopping him for doing it for longer.

However if Benny could be encouraged to sacrifice his game for the team then the impact could be considerable. Playing him as a simple target man or more realistically a decoy could reap huge rewards. This is not him doing the same thing as before over a shorter time frame. It is him doing something very different and playing a totally different game. He has always been teh man to score rather than the man who creates space for others to score.

In 2010 John Clarke was an excellent decoy runner moving defences selflessly to allow others to storm through the gaps he created. We all talked of Marty's defence splitting passes to Benny and Paul McComiskey, but we didn't talk enough about the fact that John had often caused that split to be exploited.

Q. Did Kenny Archer ever play GAA for a club?

A. No

Says it all!

[Ed Hardy]

Only few days left until start of the season for Down, albeit the Mc Kenna, with little or no buzz about the year ahead. Still no word on Mc Kenna Cup panel or even training panel, to atleast give fans something to get to interested about, and with Div 1 and defending Ulster champions to face later on in year... very flat indeed!

[Highlander3]

Yes it's been very quite regarding the McKenna cup squad, has anyone heard anything?

[5 Sams]

Happy new Year to all.Kenny Archer making a sly dig at Down in today's Irish News.

Didn't see the paper. What did he say.

[Ed Hardy]

See the Gaelic Life have the Down squad. named in it! Good few players missing due to university commitments... anybody know much about Conor Doyle, Sean Dornan Michael Hughes? No sign of Darryl or Aaron Brannigan which is disappointing, good to see Ryan Mallon back involved tho. Is Ciaran Mc Cartan playing for Queens?
