MOR broke his thumb last week from what I hear

Lads please wise up? James and aor won't give 2 fks about McKenna cup! It's about game time and trying things; some people on here are totally melodramatic! Half the squad are in throes of getting fit for a start; expirements are the key so stop panicking!

Micky was closer to 40 when he retired! Does anyone remember the reception he got when coming on v Fermanagh during POR's tenure - legend!

For quality (nationally accepted) and longevity AND quality with longevity - it has to be Micky Linden!

ps Sheamy you are some wind up merchant 

lads lets just confirm no one from ballyholland is trying to coax anyone to come play for us! if the boyles cant resolve their differences with the point then i am sure there will be a number of clubs willing to make them welcome.....

the point road was a free for all between harps, shamrocks and mitchels.

hanging!? fkn hell thats shocking - i assumed heart.
what a class footballer

Will do my best - awful day, burren had. 5 chances to score before clonduff did - yellas simply wanted it more; burren's subs not up to the level. Of their starting team. Burren team was;

Murdock, ryan mcgovern, dan mccartan, mohan, mcentee, chris mcgovern, some young lad on wing; smyth + mcardle, mcgovern, murdock, toner, donal ohare, ciaran byrne + poland.

Burren man beside me said 7 starters now playing

4-1 yellas - burren rested 7

2-0 clonduff,  awful day!

anyone at the rgu game? i hear it was a last minute penalty rebound that put them through?

whitegoodman, you miss the point entirely. I mean only include these younger lads periodically - they dont train with the panel each week otherwise they may as well be full time on the panel! this is a process that gives them a taste, sets the standards they need to get to over their developmental 18-20 years old profile......

trials to start in NOV - county split into 4 teams - round robin style -  plan is to see if they can unearth a few more serious competitors to the starting 15.

please dont start suggesting young lads at 18/19 years of age - whilst they have potential, let them play a season or two at u21 level before pushing them through to seniors.

i would love Down to have an extended senior panel, called it development panel if you like - purely for 10/15 young lads with potential, who get the strength & conditioning / nutrition advice that the seniors get - & pull them in for in house games when needed so that they also see the level they need to reach. A la premiership style, bring them along to some senior games, have them in the changing room, give them a feel for being part of it; something to aspire to.

No maginn, murtagh, hughes,  mooney + doyle will start in forwards, marty to start midfield! Interesting stuff

I believe mcardle pulled hamstring, murphy played full game for club friday night, murtagh is out. Liam. Doyle will start and play as sweeper

Ask lecale v longstone; wpoint v ballyholland; l"island v tullylish; rostrevor. V dpatrick; clonduff v c'wellan; saval v m'bridge; ask/lstone v burren; kingdom v b'ford; kilcoo v laitriom

Brutal commentator!

Ricey this ricey that!
