appeal is wednesday from very good authority- also clancy is to attend the hearing with dan in support of his hearing. there may be hope !!!!

i hearappeal hearing on wednesday night. say a few prayers

down gael - you are saying that mc cartan and colgen should be brought in yet they did not even feature as one of the 5 subs brought on during the game on saturday? mc cartan is not good enough while colgen is no replacement for dan. just lets hope dan's appeal is successful. only option is rooney if he is fit enough.
if dan plays down will win

Very tight game in burren last night. very few scores and lots of good defending on both sides. moment of match was in last couple of minutes when dan was one on one with the keeper. the keeper made a good save. we had a lot of pressure after that but could not get the equaliser. Mc kernan scores two or three superb scores from far out.

any division one fixtures?

i understand division 3 starts on 9th of march(due to the fact there are more teams) and all the rest start on sunday 23rd march. it was in matts chat in down recorder. i understand the fixtures are out but dont know who we play .

benny is lethal and is the best forward in down. he is the one who you fear when he gets the ball and was the difference in the championship final. he is the difference between mayobridge and the rest of the teams in division 1. at county level he has been superb. last year was not his best year but his high standards cant be reached on every occassion. for ireland he is class and anybody suggesting the team is better without him doesn't know whether a football is blew up or stuffed! idiots

amazed by the nonsense written about ronan murtagh. is this the same person who was good going forward last year but terrible at defending. against meath he was roasted. sometimes i do wonder do certain people on this site know anything about gaelic football. he is a  good forward. play him up front.

loughinisland have appointed gerard colgen and gary mason.

lecale2, where did you hear or read about ben o reilly winning the college allstar?

also umpire, how could tommy mc govern be above james mc cartan junior? his display in the 1991 final was as good as anything i have seen from any down player.

very intersting reading. they must have been brilliant to watch. all of us were lucky to see the brilliant down forward line of the 90's so those mentioned from the 60's must have been something else.

I agree with you Leo.

Also, Islandboy...   the highest scoring total previously held by Paddy Doherty was indeed overtaken recently.  But players are playing more games for their county in the modern game.  Paddy Doherty still holds the highest average score per game record.


i dont doubt that. his reputation is enhanced even more

the only one i would really argue with is that i would have paddy doherty at either one or two. i believe he held the highest scoring record in the ulster championship up until very recently. not sure but i think canavan overtook him( or mc conville) . that is ubelievable if you consider how poor the footballs were in that day.

no i am not dan gordan, wish i was as good though.
to be fair to ross i dont think that he would kick out colgen just because he missed that one night. has he trained many nights with down?

i was at the dinner last friday night and dan gordan spoke very well. in relation to his displays for down, he was easily downs best player this year.
