I see Gerard mcGovern picked up a bad shoulder injury on Sunday and may be out for several weeks. Hopefully he gets back to full fitness soon as he's a very important player to this Down side.

Jim McCorry got sacked after gaining permotion to division 1. Down GAA in a total shambles at all levels. Leaving Newry tonight after watching probably the worst Down Team performance I have ever seen. Bad times getting hammered by Fermanagh in your home patch.

It honestly astounds me how some people on here can defend our County Board.

Our 3 Championship appearance at the major grades in 2016 have yielded only humiliation, particularly @ U21 and Senior. We haven't won an Ulster Title at any grade since 2009. We haven't won a Senior Title in 23 years, we haven't won a minor title in 18. The problem is systematic. The utter lack of infrastructure within Down is nothing short of a depressing!

Senior members of the Down County Board should resign, with an emergency meeting held to bring in some new forward thinking minds (those with actual minds would be a step forward). Unless we want another 20 years of complete and utter garbage!!

So 2005 didn't happen for our victorious Minor Footballers.

They didn't win Ulster. armagh beat them in the final and they got through the backdoor way to win the all-Ireland

Marty Clarke said on BBC at half time that he would have at least appreciated a phone call from burns to get asked onto the county panel. Why has this not happened. So many better players around the county than what was on display today.

Mcgovern doesn't play full back for his club I should say. Plays half forward. My mistake ^^^

You can say what yous want. 2-22 to 0-9 in an Ulster championship game is scary against a team who down beat a few years back.
Down played Conall Mcgovern at full back in a man marking role and he plays full back for his club.
Henry brown also came on after playing club seconds this time last year. If this is all the players we have may Aswell give up now.
Need new structures in place from underage. Minors , u.21s and seniors all beat in first round games 2 years in a row

Who the hells gona get our scores. Team cannot line out like that

Is mark McKay not fit to start Vs monaghan? Would prefer him
Over brown...
Is Mckernan fit?

Some shock results over the past week. Kilcoo , mayobridge and burren dropping points.
I believe that these teams have all been playing players in different positions and Also been leaving big names out.
They surely aren't caring about the league as much this year and are trying things out ahead of championship

Good game in Burren tonight .. McGrath from Burren was outstanding at linking the play up. Where'd he come from? Is he still at school?

was very impressed also with the Ballyholland number 18 who came on , heard he's still at school.. does anyone know his name??

Clowny and Whitegoodman here is a question for you
Burren must have some money to fire away
Ward Copeland Monaghan Vernan?(dundrum) all on the payroll
Surely with all those great underage teams that has come through the ranks use could get 1 good trainer out of them instead of bringing in 3 outsiders to the backroom team ?
Very strange

I'm not even a Burren Man myself.. doesn't bother me what they do with there money. But I just know they have plenty of injuries. Was at the game last night. Harps set up well, with red card spoiling the affair. Harps old men murtagh and Murphy battled away rightly.

Sure where was half of the burren team tonight 5 SAMs lol

Ballyholland will try spoil the game tonight, wont be pleasant to watch but I think Burren will have too much fire power

Down football is a complete shambles at the minute. No point denying it... We are 10 years behind every other decent county. Underage structure is pathetic ,the development are a complete waste of space. Boys at 15-18 say that development squads meet up once a month for a kick around in the abbey or college. Whereas donegal/Tyrone/Derry development squads meet up once or twice a week and actually have proper structures such as top class coaches and gym programs to work on etc.
Down expect clubs to do all the work to produce the players.... Results from the last few minor and under 21 championship results show this... Beaten in first round

Worrying times ahead for this county.
