Newry confirmed for Kilcoo/Cross

Yeah I'd have to agree with that. Clontibret had a decent run last year with a couple of good scalps, but in reality we got a good rub of the green in a couple of games and were on borrowed time. Our extreme reliance on McManus came back to haunt us against Slaughtneil when they blotted him out. Our best chance of an Ulster was in the mid to late 00's when we had a better team but were unlucky to come up against great Cross and Galls teams.
Scotstown are well primed for this Ulster campaign I feel. Two years ago it was this team's first experience of it and they only lost out to the eventual winners by a point like you say. I haven't been following Slaughtneil's progress but do they have many dual players? Surely that will be a big factor regarding fatigue. Scotstown don't have that problem, didn't exert themselves in the final and had a relatively easy route to the final while many of the other contenders played replay after replay just to reach the semis.

Absolute disgrace what is going on in Ebay at the moment.
B*****ds
Anyone who buys a ticket from Ebay should send the seat number to Croke Park after the match.
Should n't be too hard to track down where it came from!

Challenge match tonight in Parnell - Dublin 4-14 Monaghan 1-15
Monaghan team
Mark Keogh
Kieran Duffy
Darren Hughes
Colin Walsh
Vinny Corey,
Dessie Mone,
Eoin Duffy;
Eoin Lennon,
Neil McAdam;
Dick Clerkin,
Dan McKenna,
Mark Downey;
Bernard O'Brien,
Paul Finlay,
Conor McManus.
Subs: C McGuinness for McManus (h-t), S Gollogly for O'Brien (h-t), B McKenna for Downey (45), K Galligan for Mone (50), J Turley for Clerkin, M McNally for Walshe (both 50), K Hughes for McAdam (64), C Hanratty for McKenna (65).
Championship team will start with 12 of them for certain. Corner forward position will be between McGuiness, O'Brien and possibly Dan McKenna may even line out there. Though McKenna could well hold the centre forward slot. Left half back is a toss up between one of Galligan, McNally, Eoin Duffy.
K. Hughes for McAdam - was that K.Hughes, scotstown or blayney?
Quote from: Paddy SavageIs it true that season ticket holders from any county can get into the league final for free on Sunday?
Quote from: Croke ParkOnce you have paid for your season ticket and bring it along to the game. When you get here you need to go to gate C1 on the Cusack Side where you will get an entry ticket. Hope this information helps and enjoy the game.

Yet again we let 2 points slip. Could quite easily be sitting pretty with 6 points now after the Armagh and Dublin results. I thought the defence was very good throughout but unfortuately the forwads had an off day. McManus just had one of those days. No score against 14 men in the last ten mins prob sums it up. And Japs free that dropped short is normally a gimme by his high standards.
Hope Darren Hughes isn't too badly injured though it looked bad at the time. Will be a huge loss as he had another great performance today

How would a Sunday game have cut down on costs over a Saturday night game for Monaghan?
Hotels i suppose.

The big problem with Sunday games in Cork is that it is a very big day on the local scene. All club games are going on as well. The under 21 Champsionship in football is going also as well as hundre of league games in both Hurling and Football at all levels. Last year the majority of games were played on Sat nite under lights in Pairc ui Rinn and they crowds were much bigger as there would not be as much going on.
Monaghan Co Board looked for a SUnday game as it cut down on the Costs. Down are coming on the Saturday night. T here has been a suggestion to move these games to Clonakilty in the heart of West Cork. Do not know how you feel about that?

Pairc Uí Chaoimh!! Better take note!! I'd have assumed it was in Uí Rinn again..
Yeah, the ruggers is gonna kill what would have been a small crowd for it anyway.. Sure if I recall right, we had half the crowd 2 years ago down there.
Jaysus I'm not too hopeful about it.. Unless Lennon is back in and moving, midfield will be dodgy again. While I think Galligan, Hughes (7), Turley and Downey are very composed and skillful on the ball, I don't think they will be as good break winners, unlike say, Freeman and Jinxy who would have been there in the past, I'd be fearful that Cork could steam roll us around the middle.. Actually think Tommy's introduction did more harm than good.. (Not that I wouldn't have taken him on at the time).. The bit of argy seemed to rise the Armagh defenders, and being a bit rusty himself, left us worse off upfront.. Hopefully he`ll be flying on Sunday.
Still, as you say plenty of positives .It's good to be talking about new players for a change!
Roll on Friday!!

Looking forward to seeing the Athletics Grounds next week - the photos looked impressive since they put the cladding on that building. Although it might make the roofed terrace on the other side look even more crap.

It looks like a poor return for whatever money was invested. The stand looks like a shed - something that would have been built in the 80s.

Great result for Monaghan today, although Galway weren't up to much. On paper, this was probably our 'easiest' game of the league so it was important to get the two points. Also nice to have the good scoring difference.
Fair play to McEneaney and the new played - it was a severely depleated squad, but they did the business today. It's very early days, but we could have been on the end of a severe beating today and there's reason to be optimistic. Even when the regulars return, there'll now be some proper competition for places.
I thought McAdam had a decent game in midfield and had a few good clean catches. He has come on a lot on the last few years. Dick had a good game as well - a few dodgy enough decisions but he got through a serious amount of ball and shot two lovely points. Doogan and Turley looked good as well and McGuinness looked promising up front.
Having McManus back made a big difference and him and Finlay were ever reliable for the scores. McManus was left isolated towards the end as Finlay strayed outfield and that probably cost us a few more points in the final quarter of the game, but I suppose the emphasis turned to defence.
The #1 shirt looks like it could be staying with Keogh for a while. After two penalty saves in the McKenna Cup, he made a great save in the first half today and was also alert to any balls coming in, including high balls. A very positive addition. Interesting that Darren Hughes was sub-keeper and not McBennett - what's the story there? Is McBennett injured? Also, is Hughes not fit enough to play outfield? I think he'd be wasted in goals.
Another point - the pitch in Clones was in great shape, especially given the amount of rain there had been over the last 24 hours; it looks like it might finally have been sorted out.
