Down Club Hurling & Football

Interesting;

"Under cross-examination from defence counsel Joe Brolly however, Dr McLaughlin denied suggestions he 'specialised' in intimidating opponents."

Any thoughts on the two tier system and how it might affect Down?

Quick question,what has Mark Doran achieved

Need to stop the Kilcoo bashing and wise up this shite happens all over the county - Example Drumgath player a couple of years sledging a well known Tullylish player about something that is completely out of bounds, Lynch assaulting a minor who was playing for Saul last year before a ball was thrown in, absolutely no-one said anything about any of that on this forum.. As for the court case there were Kilcoo players who couldn't believe this was taken too court and were hoping that Charlie got nothing done against him.

My point is sledging and the shite is prevalent in nearly every club, it needs stamped out around the county time to take a look at the wider view not just be blinded because of your jealousy of Kilcoo

I'd agree with smurfy about the gloating, they don't help themselves and something that does grind a gear with me but the amunt of crap people write against them you can see why they are doing it

👏👏 well said there is a lot goes on in the county but kilcoo are the only ones who get the bad press! A clonduff player told a kilcoo player he hoped he got cancer! A burren player fired a ball at an official, a clonduff player punched a ref. None of this got the same attention as kilcoo have been getting. All the best to kilcoo in Ulster seniors and minors championship

They are a club with little or no class
The way they conduct themselves on the field is nothing short of disgusting
Carr stood up the the sledging and the club run to the PSNI
They may be dominating Down football but the lack the class of the great Bryansford team of the 70s the brilliant all Ireland winning Burren team of the 80s and the swashbuckling Bridge team of the noughtys. Gloating on social media really makes the apology to the young lads family sound cheap. The manager has form for this behaviour.

As far as I'm aware this case was not taken by the Club but by the individual (It was a Civil Case). More FAKE news. Worse than TRUMP!!!!

Maybe it wasn't brought to the courts by the club, but how gutless letting it go that far especially when they haven't been saints in the past either. The club should've strongly advised against a legal battle

Anyone know if reports in yesterday's Irish news are true, is Benny away? Replaced by Walsh and Doran?

[Aristo 60]

Yes I think Irish News researched it before printing.

Asking again here.

Won an All-Ireland minor medal, played senior inter-county football, won an intermediate championship with Longstone, runs his own fitness company and managed Castlewellan to 2 Div 1 titles.

Good answer.

Did Shorty Treanor not manage them for the first and then had them at top of 1st and into play off which wasnt played until start of following year when Shorty had left/moved on, granted Doran was then in charge for the play off final which was effectively the curtain raiser for the new year league??

[Godsown]

I would have thought Shorty had managed The Town to those league wins but I stand to be corrected. Bar Paddy Tally and his side kick the three county management teams are decidedly light on any managerial achievement. 

[Smurfy123]

He managed in division 1 done ok with Castlewellan regardless if he was only in for the playoff.
Jesus what do people in here want. He's young too and I'm sure he can take some coaching. Would be interesting to know why Benny has stepped away. Mayobridge maybe.
Hearing the lad Beatty taking most of the training and boys not overly impressed with it
Give Doran a chance

[Town Gael]

He was with Shorty then took over like you said forevergreen only the Kilcoo match was the start of his first season alone and he won it that year as well properly
