Down Club Hurling & Football

[befair]

Burren halted their own momentum. Old habit of lying down every chance they got slowed the game down when they were playing well. The tactic might have worked on single occasions, allowing their defence to gat organised, but it worked against them

That's true. They were very cynical in the first half. Was there as a neutral but delighted Kilcoo won it in the end. Burren supporters are an arrogant shower.

I agree very arrogant but Kilcoo just don't give up, a great unit. The Town deserved to win the first game but thought CPN management helped them by the way they lined their team out.

Disappointing first game but it's good progress to get to quarters next year will be better
Burren fell to pieces again when the big questions were asked.This group of players have underachieved something Serious.5 Down under 21s in a row and 1 ulster along with a serious amount of underage success in recent years.Is Mck to good to substitute?Fair play to Sean Ward for doing what other managers haven't got the balls to do and take him off.A passenger in both big games against Kilcoo.

And yet still not a patch on the 'UTM' bunch.

Really?  Success in A competition run off at the end of a long season in horrible conditions where a handful of teams bother their holes about is how you gauge success? ?
Is matters as much as what mckenna cup would to a county side come championship in may.

Another thing I took away from last nights game is that that pa system in newry is terrible.

Classy tweets from our ex-Minor manager today. The wheels of his bus have really come off now.

what I'm picking up here is that it would appear you believe that public figures in Down football are not entitled to have opinions, but as long as it's done anonymously, it's quite okay to make highly derisory comments about those same people.

Interesting double standards.

Who won the ballygalget portaferry game? I was following updates from your county twitter feed and they just stopped with about 5 minutes to go!

What constitutes a public figure in down football? Where do you draw the line or how do you qualify that. Just curious.

What constitutes a public figure in any walk of life Brick?

In any given field, if the majority of people know who someone is, and journalists would seek their opinions on matters within that field, then that would be a public figure.

A public figure in Down Football- it's Ex for that.When he was a public figure in Down football his rantings about soccer was ludicrous.His(your Club) couldn't field in the minor championship last year because of soccer but yet he makes classy comments about 4 south down teams being left in championship is a veiled 'up yours' to our east down Clubs that may be in the same position as your Club last year. Good luck tomorrow night.

And there you have it.

I'm a firm believer, in Internet forums, that you should attack the post, not the poster.

You could have addressed the subject of the Tweet and condemned it is inaccurate or unfair. But it seem you'd prefer to make it personal. And just to put a cherry on it, also have a go at an entire club that had nothing to with the comment.

Again, there's a delicious irony in that you don't want him having an opinion, but you feel it's okay to deliver a highly personal rant.
