Or were they there  last year? I don't recall seeing them  before
They need to sort out those crossbars next. Mad they've got square ones sitting in front of the posts

The only thing from a Monaghan point of view about yesterday's result is the added inconvenience for Tyrone.

I'm going to call it now, Cavan and Monaghan to be drawn in same group in the All Ireland Round Robin.

Just exactly that. They've a wooden square crossbar which sits in front of the posts (https://www.sportsfile.com/id/1108538/) instead of a round one between the posts. Means a ball could come off it weirdly instead of naturally on a round one between the posts.

If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Owenbeg is the same.. I'd say there's quite a few about, no?

They look to be square alright, but at least are between the posts, not in front of them. Jeez thought most decent country grounds have round ones, no?

I know, you hit a shot, round posts you've a fair chance of the ball either going over or under, not straight back out at ye, zero to show for it

That's exactly it. I noted this Cavan v Donegal 2022. James Smith thundered a shot against the bar, and it rebounded straight out, instead of maybe the underside of the bar and a goal. Big difference in how a ball acts and they should be got rid fur round flush crossbars

Quote from: Rossfan on April 06, 2024, 02:40:10 PMHandy win for Monaghan tomorrow?

If Cavan are as poor as they finished the league it will be handy win for Monaghan. However this is championship playing the neighbours and live on BBC and RTE if no kick and competitive showing from Cavan it will speak volumes about them.

Cavan were pretty bad in the league but still were hard to beat. Meath for example should have had them beat out the gate by half time in Breffni but by the 60th minute Cavan were ahead.
Monaghan are brittle and low on confidence, plus they are missing their big attacking threats.

Best value bet is Monaghan ahead at HT but Cavan by a couple at the end.
I hope you go ahead and put a shít load of money on that one.
Anyway that's enough talk about other teams in Ulster, let's get back to chat about the AI Final Derry ('the second coming') V the Dubs
Hopefully he had the house on it! Some bet lol

Fair play! And stated before the game, not like some of the more prolific bet proclaimers on here
Hasta la victoria siempre

Monaghan need to sort their shit out and their crossbars too. Disgrace.

Not looking forward to another dog fight on Sunday, if Armagh get a good lead early Fermanagh will leave holes all over chasing, if it is tight like the league another borefest to sit through.

illdecide

I suppose Armagh will be favourites for this game and rightly so but anything can happen in Ulster Championship, Fermanagh are tight and normally hard to beat in Eniskillen but i expect Armagh to win by 3-4pts. Probably only pulling away last 10 mins.
What is the crowd capacity at Brewster Pk?. Are they expecting a full crowd?. I'll probably miss the 1st 10-15mins as I can only leave home at 1 for a 2:00pm throw in so will be tight for me too. Hopefully by the time I arrive 1:50 ish the crowd will be in and I can get up close to the ground.
I can swim a little but i can't fly an inch

I think Armagh will win it out, particularly with the draw. They also have more on the line here. I would be questioning if Derry go full tilt at this, meanwhile the Dubs and Kerry stroll to the All Ireland semi finals.
