Paul Faloon refereed the game to the highest standard and is by far the best ref in Down football and he proved it. He doesn't get intimidated by Kilcoo like the rest do. Even Sharvin tried to give a line ball to Kilcoo that Faloon overturned. It clearly came off a Kilcoo man Sharvin tryin to blatantly help Kilcoo. We were lucky to come away with the win but we will take it
😄 the highest standard he says! He over ruled both his lines men and even his umpires 🙈  ,im afraid all he has done here has woke a sleeping giant in our game, i think kilcoo will be more than happy with the 6draw last night and take the points seconds comfortably, 😁

Kilcoo certainly looked the better of the two and only for missing chances at big moments they'd have won that game...More in the tank for CPN and genuinely think they're the more talented team but you can't put a price on experience...Kilcoo will be harder to beat the next time and not many referees have the same balls as the ref yesterday. Most referees bend (understandably) to the pressure of their support and players...the referee of this reverse fixture will determine the winners of the 2020 SFC in my opinion...Agree with DownJim though...
didn't see the game,but going by BBC report and the Irish news the ref had a stinker, between cutting play time short for apparently " forgot about the 2nd half water break" lol and over ruling both lines men and his own umpires on several occasions doesn't look good for Paul faloon,  I heard also today that he resigned from referring any truth in this??

Team named as Burns; D O'Hagan, McArdle, McAleenan; Collins, McKernan, Annett; Flynn, Poland; B O'Hagan, Devlin, Guinness; McCabe, O'Hare, Quinn.
Tally made some late changes last week and may do so again as it is difficult to believe that Poland is going to start at midfield while a couple of others made very little impact in Clonmel. It is striking that Devlin is straight back at centre forward with no sign of any other Kilcoo players. The two Johnsons will presumably return but there have been no hints so far that they could be joined by a couple of Branagans. Anyway, it is likely to be a tight one tomorrow with much at stake between two sides who are not particularly high on confidence. If we have made some progress over the use of the mark, it would make a big difference.
from what I'm hearing none of the branagans will join up with the down team, but 6 others will ! But no call up as of yet for their goal keeper McCourt 🤷‍♂️

Listened to the match on Tipp Fm, absolute rubbish result, failing to beat Tipp who played nearly entire 2nd half with 14 men. Have to question Tally big time for being so defensive despite have extra man. I didnt feel very confident when I seen the starting 15 and even less so with the 2 changes before hand. Derry next Saturday night is a must win simple as that. Dont like being so negative this early, but I dont think there has been any progression under Tally at all. Hopefully proves me wrong next few games and gets some of the Kilcoo squad into the team, along with Harrison and Donnelly. (if fit to start)
according to smurfy no one on kilcoo team would get on down team 🤣🤮🙈

I'm not sure they would if they can only score 7 points against a fellow club team in the open spaces of Croke Park.

The point remains as has been said before it's ridiculous to think a decent club team would beat a county team.
downs championship team wouldn't score 3 points against the best club team of all time let alone 7, 🤦‍♂️🙈

The McKernans and Carr's will be steeped in Down history forever more than what can be said for any Kilcoo player. Check out the history of Down. Cheap shot at young Carr and him only starting on his County career. Clown
clown!!! Lol you serious? History?? That's why down are so far behind, ffs , Ross Carr senior was a good player for sure ,but his sons arent half the men he was,same as mckernan, you smurfy are the clown !!🤦‍♂️🤣

I don't think it's a stretch to suggest that any of the starting forwards or subs for tomorrow on an individual level would start for Kilcoo.  Would McGarry or Kerr not start for Kilcoo ?

Would Benny McArdle or Ryan McAleenan not start in Kilcoos full back line ?
who would you drop from kilcoo full back line for mccardle or mcaleenan?

Comparing club and county teams makes little sense. Our starting line up for Sunday looks promising, and has plenty of pace, but is unproven in a number of areas. Tally has made a big call in dropping McKernan, although probably the right one on his Tyrone display, and Havern may be unfortunate to miss out. However, this is the chance for the likes of Fegan, Annett, Guinness and McCabe to really show us what they can do. If O'Hare, Quinn and Barry O'Hagan manage a few scores, we will be in with a shout. Our bench is also decent, which could make a difference,and it's great to see Donnelly back there after a full year out, but, like almost all of our league games last season, it will probably come down to tight margins.
McKernan is done,good servant to down all the same,but him and young Carr can count themselves lucky to get a game at all this season

O hare
O Hagen x2
Quinn
Annett
McCabe
Dornan


Ward Morgan mcevoy and McCourt certainly a long way to go yet
Mcevoy and Laverty would not start for Down. Laverty coukd not start in his prime for Christ sake. He did then get his place on poor poor Down teams
as I said earlier Darren o Hagan and donal o'hare  and that would be it, barry o Hagan and dornan would jump out of the way when they see their own shadows ffs,

What other players would start for Down from Kilcoo besides the brannigans and the lads who already commit? You still haven't answered young mcevoy ward McCourt  and arron  morgan are all better players than what's there with county,  laverty and niall mcevoy could also represent county along with the 3/4 braniganns,  now tell me who on this county team lining out this weekend would start for the magpies???🤦‍♂️

I see the kilcoo folks cleaned up last night @ the Gaelic  life  awards, fair play to them, think they can cause an upset sunday week! Best of luck to them
