Down v Monaghan - Saturday 24th June at 7pm

[BennyCake]

Could we have another 1991 on the cards?

[Niall Quinn]

Is it time to start the talk of what happened last time down went 23 years without a Sam?

[Asal Mor]

Really glad one or two bad ref decisions didn't rob them.

One or two? i just caught the last 15 minutes and thought the ref got every single decision wrong in that period. He was horrendous.

[dublin7]

Fair play to Down for hanging on with the ref riding them any chance he got.

That ref should say a prayer of thanks to Jack McCarron for missing that free at the end. Down were ridden rock solid by him in the 2nd half. He was an absolute disgrace and got monaghan back into it. I hope that down 14 is fit for the Ulster final. He had a great game.

Congratulations Down.
Always happy to see our fellow aristocrats (up North) doing well.

Surely Meath will be inspired by that

Great result for D2 as well

Well in both cases neither team in the first round saw much potential in the Marshes.

Never heard of D2 camaraderie before but i suppose when youve been in it as long as Meath and Galway you will end up growing some sort of an attachment.

[grounded]

Massive upset there. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Come on Down

[dublin7]

Really disappointed with Jack McCarron today. He was brilliant against us in clones when he got a lot of space but he didn't want to know tonight. Never got into and couldn't handle the physical stuff and really poor free at the end

[ashman]

Well done Down .

[T Fearon]

The bar.I broke even,by taking the 15/8 on Down on offer at half time

[highorlow]

Lovely to see supporters crying with joy once more. This could be a year of upsets!

He had a great league but has totally lost form in the championship.

[Aristo 60]

Sport and surprise and commitment and bodies on the line. Thats why we love this game of ours. Up Down! Think ill float to the top of Slieve Donard tomorrow!

[Captain Obvious]

It would be considered a miracle if either of them won an Ulster semi final this year.

Stop exaggerating. Monaghan are the likely semi final opponents and they were beaten by division three Longford last summer at home.

That "miracle" arrived Fearon.
