would king not be a better option in full forward  - all this talk of him in full back is a waste of time, it wont happen.. think the way he caused havoc in the 2010 county final on the edge of the square should tell you all about his full forward potential. Our number 14 is more of a concern than any other position on the team and has been for a while.

On Monday night UTV - spent more air time on Rangers winning the League Cup in Scotland than the entire National League round up.

Why do they show scottish soccer during sports reports on local news??

Any word on the team for tonight?

Would any of these players be expected to step up to the senior squad when they exit the U21 championship, whenever that may be?

Out of interest;
Can anyone name the clubs these boys came from - this is the bunch that as minors that narrowly lost to tyrone in Omagh?

Saturdays game was the one to convince me the title will be ours in May - on the way back to Stansted on Saturday night this feeling was echoed by all Arsenal supporters.

By the way - Bendtner may have had a bad day in front of goal but his workrate was excellent throughout and I would rather have him fit and playing in the team than out with an injury - remember his goal last week probably won us the game...

Anyone know much about the under 21 team this year?
Cannot believe our senior full back of last season, Brian King, has not even made the panel (to date)

4 - 2 top of the league!!!

Peter Robinson designates Arlene Foster as first minister for a six-week period

The last paragraph summed it all up - COMPENSATION.
If Adair gets compo, the bars around Newcastle will take it all.
McDowell should have got more than he did at the market.

Just noticing John Boyle, Peter Turley and Colm Murney are another 3 players along with Jackie and Fegan who where regulars under Rosss have been omitted under wee James. I really believe James has laid down a good marker with his first squad. Promising times lie ahead hopefully. Tally, McIvor, James and Jerome Johnston appear to me to be the dream ticket even at this early stage, i hope they turn out to be after 3 years under a poor management team.

Get the hotels booked quick....

Any word if theres many bryansford players

Timmy Hanna, Conor Maginn and Stephen Toner

Would Hanna not be going with UUJ?

any u20 scores? Bredagh v Bryansford diddnt happen, no ref turned up but apparently he was doing the line at the Marshes.

Exactly what happened - a complete joke and insult to both teams and management - Bredagh travelled to Newcastle for nothing. East Down board should be made reinburse their costs.

Mid Down ofcourse they should be judged that way. My issue is how in the name of God he got the job.He has zero managerial track record bar a little with div 4 annsborough!!!!
I am told he is not even a member of the gaa .
He would be laughed at if he went for any decent club job he hasn't the cv and it is absolutely ludicrous that he was appointed in the first place!
Things need to be done properly could you imagine him getting a managerial job with any top club team - no way he just hasn't the experience.As a long time follower of Down football club and county I have never seen him at a game. Yes he might go to the silly nostalgic functions about the 90 s teams and plays the great respectable game of golf with old teammates - yawn yawn but he isn't a football man he hasn't got the experience!It is madness to have appointed him ! He probably is a nice fella but going straight in as a county under 21 manager is madness beyond belief !
How in 2009 can such appointments be made at least mc cartan did his time served his apprenticeship so to speak with queens , burren, st galls and ballinderry but collins has not - this is a serious issue ans this should not have happened!

Mr & Mrs Neil Collins are Life Members of Ath Bhriain GLC and he regularly attends our games. He has assisted many clubs and county teams in the past on a voluntarily basis without hesitation - he wanted the job and got it - now get over it and support the guy.
Paddy Hardy, Tom Potter & Brendan Mckernan are a good backroom team and their knowledge will be invaluable.

I believe you when you say about NC being a Life Member but is he an active member of the GAA?  I doubt not-I have never seen him at Club game at league Div 1 and 2  nor  at Club Championship matches  unless he attends Div 3 or 4 matches. I have never witnessed him at a County  NL game or at a Senior Championship game.
    Who were the others interested in the post?

Get a life ffs.

Noel and Ronan Sexton lifted the cup.  The Bridge showed a lot of character to win that one last night.  With Benny getting the line and Brendan Grant gone off injured things weren't looking too good but the lads worked their socks off right to the end.

Fair play - we will never get a better chance in any final and hadnt the balls to take it. You have to question our tactics and decisions made along the line.
How did we expect young Bonny starting his first game to mark Benny Coulter?
Referee ruined it for both teams and never give the game a chance to take off at all.
