just wondering, what are peoples thoughts on roughin up, whats deemed to be crossing the line and what is hard but fair etc. what way or how would we like to see our defenders marking this year without crossing "the line".
ideally what type of defence or personnel would people like to see tried and in what position etc, just defensively speaking now!

apparently threy were both at it with the younger fella roughing hughes up and giving him the niggles, hughes didnt like the close attention and both ended up rolling around on the floor for a few mins before being split up, was all handbags and no digs actually thrown i hear.Didnt hear anything about Hughes skinnin him.
in my opinion thats what a few boys in Down need, a few younger fellas with a take-no-shit attitude that wont back down at the though of roughin it with more established players in or outside the county, it will do no harm to see a few established boys skelped now and again, bring them down to earth. If they are goin to get that against the likes of Bellew, Mc Menamin then why not expect a similar doin from boys within our county.
If anything at least it shows a hunger or attitude that will do no harm

enlighten us further if you will GY or anyone else that was actually at the trials or has heard whos goin well and whos not.
any elder statesmen of club football at these trials?? Has any of last years panel not shown up so well, any of the younger generation impressing. any info at all??

I didnt really mean that anyone would do, was just an exhaustive coment as im at a loss to what options are about. Im well aware of the plight in Down at the minute regarding Midfielders etc. But name me a list of potential midfielders that could be trialled, say if you were the manager off the top of your head who would ye invite to trial

Travers cant be more than 28/29. Still think he is definitely the best about though. Anyway your right, goalkeeping isnt the problem.

wouldnt it be great to have two midfielders that could assume their positions at 8&9 as natural midielders meaning that Dan, Benny, Doyle or anyone else tried there coukld take up other positions in the forward line etc. It would be great to see a completetly new midfield pairing tried this year. How many midfielders about in club football, under the age of 30 are actually worth a shout, pre-requisites being that they are at least 6ft, pretty well built, very fit and have work ethic and attitude(the right one). frig it!!!anyone would do.Suggestions anyone??

for me there is only one keeper that should really be ahead of or at least contesting the goalie position with mc Veigh and thats Peter Travers.

what, the grass?

so the senior trials are to be held this week (Weds & Thurs) i think aswell as this sat & sunday.

could be interesting enough.
