Down / Re: Down Club Hurling & Football

I thought Down were poor on Sat night. Strange to say after they've won a game by over 15 points but aside from a few purple patches, one in the first half when they hit the 3 Goals down were wasteful. Too many turnovers. Didn't win enough primary possession. They rely on pace from the wings but that didn't work against Meath last year and when teams squeeze up and go physical we are left looking 2nd best. Apart from Murdock and maybe Mcevoy we don't have the power to compete against the top teams. Antrim and westmeath games will likely decide the promotion chances.

Actually dont mind doing dry Jan.  Like a lot of others bought in a extra beers wines and spirits for over the festive period most if it not opened and i'm not planning on looking at it for at least a month. Few bottles here and there adds up before you know it you're putting away a box of beer a week... its the calories i'd worry about as a beer is often guzzled with a big of tayto!!

Our Co Board are spineless. That statement is a total embarrassment. Trying to cover their backs. It leaves more questions than answers. Do they think the Down Gaa public are fuckin stupid to believe a bullshit statement like that. Chairman and Secretary need to take a long hard look at themselves. f**k their down ticket and f**k them. I can't give another penny to them under the current regime.

Another master stroke by Kilcoo Mgt and committee with this ref saga. Further create the siege mentality that everyone hates us and it is Kilcoo against the world.  They had no option but to play the game. If clubs start refusing to play games due to choice of Ref then forget about it.  The game has lost all integrity. PF is the best ref in Down hence why he is in the top 24 refs in Ireland and takes charge of inter co games on a regular basis. Kilcoo have got to weaker refs in recent years.  PF will do it as honestly and fairly as possible and hopefully the best team wins.

Kilcoo have been the standout team in Down for over a decade but their wins are always tarnished.   The level of sledging is vile. I'm sure most club players in Down would agree.  The great teams of Burren and Mayobridge won with a bit of class the same can't be said of Kilcoo.  The true mark of a champion is how they lose and Kilcoo will lose their title at some point, may not be this year but all good things come to an end. The gaa folk of Down just want a good open clean game of football with our 2 best teams..... I'm not very confident that will happen.  Wait for the diving, sledging and off the ball antics.  Any possible method to gain an advantage and make life near impossible for the officials.  Go watch the rugby and see how real men behave.

The appointment of the ref and linemen for the county final will be interesting.  Id safely say the Co Board wont have the stones to appoint the best ref in Down to do the County final.  If they don't they should look to appoint a ref from outside the county.

Poacher unlikely to get another job in Down football. The merry go round stops at some point. Mayobridge was always split on his appointment. Not a nice thing to say but there will be Mayobridge supporters happy enough tonight as that confirms his exit.

Low scoring boring affairs and teams setting up not to lose.  The Down Championships has been a snore fest so far!  I think everyone is waiting on Kilcoo v Burren and hopefully the two teams go at it with no nonsense.
