We always expect Fermanagh to make it tough for their opponents but they are playing like a junior B team here. It's sad to see.

Numbers mean nothing. Basically we will play with one or two men up the pitch (probably Murnin and Turbitt/Conaty), one or two men as designated markers at the back (Burns and McKay) with everybody else moving up and down the pitch. Same as nearly every team nowadays so this thing of lining out teams in 1-6-2-6 simply pre-dates the Jimmy McGuinness tactical revolution. It still bemuses me to see a half back get extra credit for picking off scores when they are often the best placed players on the team to kick points.

I've my doubts about 3G/4G pitches and ACL's as well, but have you any evidence on this?

Quote from: Dreadnought on April 08, 2024, 11:36:10 AMQuote from: yellowcard on April 08, 2024, 11:07:40 AMBeggan is the best kicking goalkeeper but at the fundamentals he is just average. Even with his forays up the pitch, while he has the ability to kick long range points with that right foot piston, he is quite slow and cumbersome in possession and got caught out yesterday not for the first time. You would have to question the judgement of a pundit who gave him MOTM yesterday after conceding 3 goals. That must be a first for a goalkeeper. I thought Paddy Lynch deserved it but Faulkner was very good too.It was Philly McMahon who gave it to him. I agree it was silly, but to give some context he gave it late into injury time and literally seconds before Lynch scored the 3rd one. He then even joked that he made the call too soon. Not sure why they need to make the call before the game is over though
Quote from: Rossfan on April 08, 2024, 10:08:21 AM4k in Carrick* and De Páirc. About what you'd expect at those 2 fixtures.
Dungarvan just over 1k, probably about what you'd expect.
Didn't see any figures for Leinster where crowds have been declining for years in a one team Competition.
Cavan v Monaghan was a pretty poor turn out for a fixture which regularly drew 5 figure crowds.
*€30 for a stand seat was a disgrace for a Qtr Final. No wonder the Stand was half empty.

The 3rd one he was obviously up the field and was ambling back, but even the first 2 goals he was rooted to the spot and didn't make a move or dive or such. His kicking was decent as usual, but could see that time out of playing and moving did affect himQuote from: yellowcard on April 07, 2024, 07:45:19 PMQuote from: Itchy on April 07, 2024, 07:23:00 PMWell dunno where that came from but up Cavan. Beggan mom, what are they smoking in BBC?
Ridiculous decision, they were dying to give it to Beggan simply due to the fact that he got an NFL trial.
Personally thought Beggan should have done better for that first goal in injury time.
