Myself and the Wobbler were discussing this the other day...we have more good goalkeepers in Down now than we have forwards...fact.

What about Declan Alder...would he not be knocking on the senior panel door....we also have one of the best in the business in Keiran Murphy...brother of Paul.....and then of course there's another boy down Strangford way who stands in for Kilclief now and again....ah f**k it his name escapes me

Excellent show. Sometimes you forget just how good the man was....did anyone else get the impression that Jarlath wasn't impressed with Francey's "tackle".

Like Superblues I had the privilege of playing on the same football field as Mickey but unfortunately I was on the opposing team as him and his brother Peter proceeded to tear us apart at the seams.


As mentioned before he was at his best in 1994 when he got player of the year and played a blinder in the AIF when a procession of Dubs couldnt get to grips with him.

Legend.

Jesus wept....only in America

We are indeed a 2nd Division outfit although we shit ourselves in the last two games of the promotion playoffs last year after beating An Riocht in the 1st game. We lost out to an inferior Attical team who were much better on the day. But good luck to them.

We will be weak in the Ulster League but we hope to use it as an alternative to insipid, dull, worthless, friendlies. We won't have our county lads and we also have a lot of injuries at the moment to key players. However it will be an opportunity for the new manager to see what he has to work with apart from the aformentioned lads.

Yes sorry LOUTH V Down ffs.....

Apparently this game is all ticket and the county have received 1900 tickets....any word on where it is yet?

Poofs

Somebody mentioned Gay O'Driscoll and the Doc earlier in this thread.....while on that subject you should also include Robbie Kelleher and Pat O'Neill....tough c***ts to man those Dubs but these particular lads would have cut you in two with the Doc leading the charge
