John Martin

Why has Jerome opted out? He's one of the best in the county and his absense will be felt

Hard to believe that football season starts again tomorrow evening. According to IN. Aaron Morgan is to be included and few other new call ups. Hopefully the likes of McKibben, & Mc Parland are included in more of the national league games and we have more of a settled team come May in the championship. Be interesting to see how Shay Miller and Harrison fare out this year as they wont be a surprise to anyone this season, both were excellent last summer.

Were Down the only panel not noted in the Irish News today ? Same old. Same old.

And we start again tonight
Any thoughts of what will be expected this year??
Promotion and ulster final should be the aim
We had a brutal league last year but a good championship
Although Armagh are crap Monaghan are much better
Looking forward to a big year
Harrison Millar need to hit the ground running
Harrison will be a marked man,he won't be lucky enough to be marking Wylie every game

Upper Half in Division 2, Ulster final and then hopefully super 8s would be a good year for us.. Need to stay clear of injuries though, aren't blessed with the most talented 16-30

As much as I'd like to see Down do well, if we were to make the Super 8s with our current squad I'd be going for long walks in the countryside with no phone, rather than putting myself through tuning into those demolition jobs.

Down 0-05 Armagh 1-10, Pairc Esler, 8pm latest. Won't need to worry bout super 8 s

Wasn't at the game but unless it was like the Fermanagh match in the McKenna Cup in 2016 (where it was clear they would struggle to win a game all season), I doubt tonight will have any relevance come the league or Ulster championship, let alone the Super 8s.

As for talk of getting promoted - I hope not unless it's after seven convincing wins from seven. Best case scenario otherwise is finishing third after a good campaign. In 2015 we somehow got promoted after scraping a few lucky results and we were nowhere near ready for Division 1 - which would happen all over again if we were promoted in similar circumstances this year.

Typical McKenna cup match
Not even the mckennas want to be there
Decent crowd but the game never got going
Good run out for our lads with Kmck the best player on the team
8 or 9 players to come back in for the Louth game
Roll on UUJ
