Let's now follow Cork Gaa Twitter--it'll be better than the Down account's output unless stiff breeze helps out his fellow club member.

What
Releasing the same team?

12 a-side tomorrow?

 You'd think they would give some of the other panel members a chance to improve on the failings of the past few games.

Down name an unchanged team for the fourth game
Some changes expected?

Poor thought process with this.

Sadly Down V Armagh in this summer's championship has as much appeal as a Fermanagh V Antrim clash ten years ago.

This will be a full house with each team thinking it could kick-start a summer.

Won't be a cow milked in half the country for a fortnight if we win our first game since the league in 2015.

You're probably right in this statement as the other half or 3/4's are urban towns with not much in the way of GAA.We're at a low ebb in Down and if we get to Div 3 the google maps will have to be used for a visits to unfamiliar venues.

Does any of the posters on here go to County Board or have any influence on whoever goes from their Club?Are we at rock bottom or do we move next Spring to Div 3v

Div3- the holy keepers of Down GAA need to disappear and try another approach.Emergency County Board Meeting required and the current County Managers and County Board need to step aside asap.

Who do you want to take over as management of the senior team?

May as well be someone from 91/94 as that's the usual solution.McCorry was an exception but they quickly went back to the Down Way after one season.He had only got us promoted.

I think my point is clear enough. He should be there in some capacity and the country is laughing at us. Correct me if I'm wrong but at no stage did Clarke mention that he felt unable to play county football last night. Change of management mentioned as a factor which is very frustrating. I believe that Clarke would be on every panel in the country yet we can't find a place for him. As I mentioned Pete McGrath swallowed his pride in 94 as he knew the players involved were essential to any hopes of success, surely the current management could do likewise. We certainly won't win an all-ireland but the situation is plain daft. As I said I don't comment very often and I believe the players that are there are doing their best in my eyes, but surely even they are bemused by the state of affairs.

We can argue all day/night but MC is gone.

Not been on this in a while but feel the need to get involved. Firstly I feel that Fermanagh are more capable of an Ulster title this yr. Having said that, it's obviously about making the most of what is available to you. I'm sure that many would remember the fallout with blaney and mcartan pre championship 1994? Pete McGrath realised that he needed to get everyone on board.

Therefore, I have a question for you all - would a half fit Marty Clarke be on the Dublin panel? I think we all know the answer. At 29 we have had 2 seasons to appreciate his footballing talents.

Management is not all about dictatorship. Proper man management is sorely lacking, therefore fans are being deprived of watching one of the best players of the modern era pull on a Down jersey. Now we can argue all day long about this but we all know what should be happening.  As a lifelong Down supporter I am dismayed by the status quo.

What are you really talking about here? A half-fit MC wouldn't make the Dublin junior team.As he said tonight his days of County Football are over.What a waste! Marty and  brother JC are kings of the Bull-sh-t! It's going to be painful.
     Anyone going to Ennis?

LG, you're a WUM more like and also a W-er for your sly dig at St Pauls and you're promotion of a 2-bit excuse for a Competition and having the stupidity for printing on this forum sh-te such as "coming to the County ground to do battle" Catch yourself on.

st pauls ? where have I mentioned st pauls in any of my previous posts. think you have me confused with someone else 

I'm getting you mixed up with the clutch-you're probably be the same person.

Forgive my ignorance but what the f**k is the centenary cup and shield.

Brick this statement does not surprise me. They were competitions put in place for Division 4 teams to play in during their break from Division 4 fixtures, it was an idea to give them more competitive games due to the lack of teams and therefore fixtures in the division this year. The idea was to have a showpiece evening in Newry for the two finals.

Top 4 were in the cup and bottom 4 were in the shield. All playing each other once with the top 2 competing in the respective finals.

St Paul's didn't field in any of their game for political reason (from what I heard).

Clutch-you're a bollix. "(From what I heard)" You know the reason and are stirring the pot ya dick

Ah sure Imagine we had a plan to actually do something about the lack of county training facilities, we could put lights around the Red High, great , when it rains , the grass pitches are unplayable and the school authorities won't let you cut up the pitches , oh and it's 90 pds per hour for hire, let's go to the Newry area, sorry can't play in the rain, ah but there is the Bann Rd Castlewellan, sorry it's not playable in the rain, buts there's G3 pitches galore, ah but it's on record that certain injuries are related to training on that type of surface, so where do we go from here, smart remarks about the location of Ballykinlar isn't helpful, I for one , if given the chance would buy back every bit of land which was historically taken from our ancestors , so trotting out the same old rhetoric is at best childest at worst devicive, we don't have pots of money and it wouldn't take a load of money to upgrade Ballykinlar s one pitch. One last point to note , the same facility , was in use when every other grass pitch in the county was unplayable,if you doubt my word ask the county managers.

Cut the crap,I agree with you on all points.Coming from a small Club myself I just would be concerned that it would affect Ballykinlar adversely.
