Anyone any experience in Alculdia, Mallorca. First time going away on a foreign holiday so wan't to try and do some activities

Rory Beggan vs. Bryan Sheehan.
Who kicks it further?

I'd say beggan. Sheehan always seems to put a lot of force into his kicks whereas beggan just walks up and strokes it over which is perhaps a better technique. I don't think we have even seen the limit of Beggan's kick yet.

Also Monaghan were by far the better team and deserved to win - but Tyrone had a stone wall penalty turned down, when they had a two point lead just before half time. - could have left them 5 up at the interval.
Big moment in the game, but probably won't get a mention.

wasn't a single 'stonewall' penalty decision in the game. Thought Coldrick did very well

Trying to purchase tickets for the game on saturday. Anyone know the name of the long terraced area opposite the seated stand? Is it the town terrace or south stand?

South Stand would be the main stand. A terrace ticket will allow you to anywhere on the terraces anyway as they're not separated (a la Clones).

Sweet thanks

Is the game televised?

barry o'hagan has left the panel apparently, wont be involved tonight.

as far as i know hes going on a stag this weekend

Just coming up to St Paddy's Day brings back memories of watching McCrory Cup finals then the club finals? What are some people's best memories, hard to top Kevin Dyas and Marty Clarke's battle in the 2005 final. Two superb players at that age level.

That was the 2006 final. Remember it well myself for all the wrong reasons, standing on the edge of the Casement Park field waiting to run on for final celebrations then the Abbey scored that last minute goal to win it.

Think they spray stuff on their hands as well.
It's probably called 'Grip-N-Go', or something.

I know they have banned a certain substance that used to make their hands very sticky. Im pretty sure there was an Gaelic glove designed maybe 5 years ago or so that came with a dry and a wet version that looked similar to the American gloves as they were a very similar fit with no visible latex grip.

Just a thought that came into my head today but would the american football style gloves be any use for catching a gaelic football when you see the types of catches the americans can pull off. The likes of under armour, nike etc don't specify the type of grip used on their gloves, whilst the Irish companies would use standard latex.

Any idea in what caused such a terrible 1st half? Conditions don't appear to be too bad, though the pitch looks a little heavy. Must be a bit of nerves for both teams

great result. will do wonders for the lads confidence

if we can beat Clare at esler then it would be div 2 safety secured with games away to Tipp and Meath and a final home game v Cavan

Tipp game is at home and cavan game is away

Sounded like a hard battling win with Roscommon pushing on in the 3rd quarter. One more win should ensure safety and who knows what else after that as the league seems to be very tight. I think for this season to be a successful one Burns has to find a way of getting Harrison and O'Hare playing together as they are comfortably our 2 best attackers with O'Hagan not far behind

Paddy McBrearty's performance reminded me of Stevy O'Neill in full flow. He was totally unmarkable in the second half. Can't believe he didn't get MotM.

Those Michael Murphy frees completely took the wind out of Donegal's sails, can't believe they gave them to a sub who hadn't even got a chance to stretch his legs. I wonder was that a management calll or Murphy himself?

You could see Paddy McBrearty showing murphy the ball as he was coming on signalling more that paddy wanted murphy to hit the free

Did it annoy anyone else that Down didn't wear their home jersey. Is there a rule where both teams have to wear away strips or are they under orders to drive up sales of new away jersey?
