Just came across this comment. TheClutch, you obviously have a very negative opinion of the Johnnies.. Yes they have had a good start to the year but is it luck or are they really a team on the up?? Dunno, but I heard one of them swear last year that they could have a right go at the senior championship - reckoned they would give the Bridge a run for their money! Nothing like a positive outlook!!! IMHO, I think the Johnnies are riding luick - Div 3 is woeful this year and the Johnnies arent a good team - come the end of the season,I expect them to be in the middle of the bottom half of the table (which isn't as as low as I originally thought - I must admit as I was pipping them for relegation which might'nt happen now until next season)  The Drumaness defeat was a big blow and the win over a poor Str Pauls tells us nothing about their the potential of the Johnnies. Im not a bettin man, but the Bridge need'nt start worrying just yet!!!!

i agree,division 3 has been very poor this year and the results are coming down to what ever team makes the least mistakes.i wouldnt bet against the johnies fancying their luck against the bridge, they are a very arrogant,over-confident team.
on another topic, fermanagh being beat today truely shows the level down seniors are playing at in recent times.many people point to the management for the poor results, this may be true, truely the players only can know this, but maybe they are simply not good enough?
another thing i picked up on today was the referee, i thought he didnt let very much go. this is identical to the type of refing that goes on in down. Down football has lost its physicality because of poor refereing and this is an obvious reflection on our countys defence(except of course for Aidan "rocky" Carr  

thought johnson was immense 2day,if cavan got the ball into him earlier and more direct then it would have been over a lot earlier than it was.o'reily had a great game from the dead ball perspective, but in my opinion wasnt up to much from play, over carrying and poor shooting with the right foot.
It just goes to show the standard Down are at these days, turley from downpatrick could hardly handle carson, and yet 2day he was kept relatively quiet compared to that in brewster! T McElroy hada poor one in my view today, could have fisted the ball in twice near the end instead of going for his own score, which proved to be the wrong option.
just want to ask what people thought of the ref today?too harsh or was it good refing?

Good to see Drumaness beating St.Johns. This should ruffle their feathers i believe and their good run of the season i hope is over. All credit to them for a great start to the year, but i still cant see them being serious promotion candidates for this year

is it just me....or is any one else unimpressed by John Boyle?honest to god the man is more adapted to soccer than any thing else-starting on sunday?hopefully its just another customary pre-game switch!!!No Benny should get boys on their toes,to stand up and be counted

How do you think Down will do against the Erne men next week?personally i think they have what it takes to take them, but it all depends on who performs well on the day,also any one care to shed any light on what the starting 15 could possibly be?would like to see p.fitzpatrick getting the nodd, but i dont see it happening
