anyone at the shamrocks d'cross game?

yea i was there
why. wot did u think of it

Since Marty Clarke is definitely on his way home this is the Down team i would like to see line out come championship time:

1) Brendan McVeigh
2) Luke Howard
3) Peter Turley
4) Martin Cole
5) Paul Murphy
6) Liam Doyle
7) Kevin Duffin
8 ) Dan Gordon
9) Stephen Kearney
10) Michael Walsh
11) Martin Clarke
12) Benny Coulter
13) John Clarke
14) Peter Fitzpatrick
15) Paul Mc Cumiskey

This is a fantastic team with great potential. Hopefully wee james can do the job with these lads and with the likes of murtagh, sexton, mckernan, laverty (hopefully) on the bench he has a few handy subs to throw in

lets see everyone elses teams

calm down lads, yes marty clarke's return is brilliant for the county team but that doesn't make the rest of the team now 'fantastic'


all those other players have been given plenty of chances and i can count on one hand the number of highlights theyve provided in championship football over the years

however, most of the team is still young so i hope  McCartan can bring them on

why were there 2 bredagh men on the selection panel in the first place??

I'm surprised to see the two Lecale teams go out in the semis of the IFC



a hotbed of down footballing greatness, as someone said the other day on here

any highlights of the Darragh Cross match going to go on the down website??

can someone post an up to date division 2 league table after last nights shamrocks - downpatrick game?

cant get onto down website

r u wise?

i didnt see darragh's number 8 or 9 committing a singel foul in the first half

number 11 was yellow carded - correct decision in my opinion

number 15 - sure he just shouldered his man, alrite it was off the ball but can u honestly say that warrants a red card?

so darragh should hav had 11 men at half time? and u say im warped??

can anyone who was at Bright yesterday at the Downpatrick v Darragh C game honestly say that referee was fit to ref an IFC quarter final??

come on county board, we need stronger refs for these big games!
he must hav been related to the downpatrick number 6, its the only reason i can think he didnt card him all game, he started or was stuck in the middle of every flair up

great win for the Cross all the same!

Are the Island ones on this page refusing to believe that they could ever lose a player to another club??

Anderson has only very occasionally played in an advanced midfield position. 

Ferguson doesn't care about how much was paid for the player.  If he wasn't performing well or Fergie didn't see massive potential he would be moved on.  End of.

Fabregas is very much the exception and not the rule.  Look around the top clubs, who are the captains?
Man United - Neville (34), Liverpool - Gerrard (29), Chelsea - Terry (28)

even still, 0 goals and very few assists in over 2 years isnt good enough for a midfielder
my point about age wasnt that anderson should be uniteds captain, I was just pointing out that at 21 he's way behind a lot of players were at that age - Fabregas, Ireland, Young, Lennon, Fletcher even

completely shite may hav been a bit over the top, but well over-rated

in those two seasons how many goals has he got from an attacking midfield position?
how many games has he influenced by going on a great run and setting up a goal or playing a killer ball?


the only reason fergie is persisting with him is cos he paid something ridiculous like 18 million for him, if he had been a young english player coming throught the ranks he'd be sold long ago.
it doesnt matter that he's 21, at 21 fabreagas was captaining arsenal and running the midfield there. its a young mans game these days

nani isnt a great player but at least he is capable of the odd bit of magic

Anderson isn't average??
i know, he's completely shite in my honest opinion

can someone post the odds for this weekends Championship games?

i heard the referees meeting on Monday night descended into a farce with an argument about expenses. a lot of the refs want the match fee put up to £30 from £20


what a bunch of clowns!

any truth that there were 4 red cards in the downpatrick v kilclief game??

is the draw on live on newry fm tonight does anyone know?
