The reality with international football is that unless you are England, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Italy etc etc then you can’t just decide that you’re going to change your “philosophy” and start “playing football” and that managers need time to bed in and implement said “philosophy”.

A load of ballex. International football is about getting results. It’s a series of one-off games. Countries like Ireland don’t have the luxury of calling up x y and z who will slot in nicely whenever their star players are injured. We have a limited pool to choose from and any number of players could be absent which on any given day could fück up the chances of qualifying for a major tournament. A good manager sets the team up to get a result. Trap, McCarthy x2 MON might not have played nice football nor had any intention of it. But they got results. If qualifying means parking the bus and hoofing it then give me that any day over finishing bottom without a whimper under a new “philosophy”.

Anyone follow Ruth Dudley Edwards? An absolute hateful individual. She uses the death of John Hume to further her own hatred of nationalists.

Attention seeking bitch

An excellent development opportunity for Down GAA which certainly outweighs it’s less than ideal location. You’re clutching at straws when you are using inconveniencing the opposition in your argument (that’s a good thing!)

Interesting to note that our neighbours in Armagh have recently approved ambitious plans for a new training complex. Where? Portadown. No panic about sponsors, prime location etc.

I think using Dublin based players as an excuse not to go ahead with Ballykinlar is clutching at straws. There are men that travel from Dublin to Tyrone, Donegal etc to train with their counties and to suggest Down men are any less committed to their County is disrespectful bordering on cynical. I think the real issue is the south down men will have to go further than Newry to reach this new facility
