was wondering what the odds would be - 5-1 against in a two horse race. may have to put a few quid on us at them odds

Think its fair to say that the talent is not there- sexton and murtagh are two of the better players and should be in squad.
dont think ross will find any gems in div 3 or 4. if they were good enough we would all know about them. think its best that he brings in young players such as garvey and shane o hare from the bridge and maybe jamie o reilly from our club. no-one older than26/ 27 will realistically be getting called up now.

spirit - most people would like to see us win on sunday as it would be good for down football- its only downfanatic who would prefer the bridge- think he is jealous after there close game with kilclief.

 bitta binter- apologies but am getting sick of hearing the same record from other posters, no offence intended

bitta banter- have you nothing new to say about our transfers into the club- jealousy will get you nowhere- its an open door policy, if people want to leave they can leave, if they want to join they can join. obviously your club has been affected by transfers but maybe you should ask why do they want to leave? why are we a feeder club?

paddy quit 5 years ago at the old age of 27 for a number of reasons- he was a sub with ciaran doran on that squad

big john lived in loughinisland and transfered soon after. he was awesome that day and never quite reached the heights again.

wobbler- no 2 was ciaran o hare
same side played before the epic in celtic park in 94

A Mallon i think your correct with the 3-10 not 3-9. we scored two goals in first half. collie mason and gary wre playing then and were superb. john killen actually played corner forward but year previous got mom at corner back. we had a good team in 80 's best remebered outside down for the 3 game saga with burren in 86. ten points up at half time but they came back. they won the all ireland the same year. what the view in the bridge about the final?

agree with point concerning barton, he has one all ireland - big deal- opposing him on sunday were gary mason(2 all irelands) and gerard colgen(1 i think but possiblt two).

umpire 1989 final we scored 3-9 . sorry for being fussy

The tactics we used were successful against burrren and we won the game.think the bookies in downpatrick suffered badly as they had us at 2to1 against.  against the bridge we know we will have to play differently and play to the best of our ability but there is more to come from a lot of our players and we do have a chance.

Dulaney- i got the impression burren thought they need only turn up last night and they would win. Although we only scored 7 times we missed at least three other goal chances. we went ahead then sat back an absorbed your pressure. you had one goal chance and that was in the last kick of the game. i hope mayobridge feel they only need to turn up.

A.Mallon - we have a black jersey we wore against yourselves last year so dont know what will happen. obviously both teams would like to wear there normal colours.

i understand there will be a toss of a coin to see who wears the away jersey

official--- what game were you at? burren blew it? have you not school tomorrow? the best team won , no doubt about it. game should have been over but for two saves from the burren keeper. the conditions were poor throughout so playing football was going to be difficult. our first final since 1989, we will be underdogs but we will give the bridge a game of it.

island v mayobridge is off tonight. our pitch is unplayable. gives us a week to prepare for semi final. i do think we could have played the semi closer to home as it is an hour to newry. even hilltown would be fine burt the powers to be would rather the game played in a 90 % empty ground in south down. nothing new there

we will have to play well against burren but i feel we really do have a great chance. we have a superior midfield to probably any team in the county and if we can stop the supply going in then our forwards will have to be on song. really looking forward to it.
