Easy enough win today they couldn't deal with the movement of Derry. As weird an atmosphere for an ulster championship game as I can remember outside and inside the ground - felt nothing more than a league game there was no buzz about it at all. Building

It was. Fermanagh really needed to bring the war to Derry today and outside of a few, the Cullens (serious warriors), Jones and Kelm. Those guys put in a serious shift. McGuigan will be sore tomorrow. But Fermanagh needed the rest of the team to step up the way these boys did, play right on the edge, fight for everything ie championship football.
2 weeks time will be day and night compared to today. We need to keep everyone fit. McFaul performed at training like he's never been away apparently. Be interesting to see what game time, if any he gets next time out.
Some fine performances today, but Tad was super, great game

What would you know about McFaul in training ? If he was performing that well he would be in the pitch, its as simple as that!! He's clearly not fit enough.

Word is that he has been flying at training, was talking to one of the players and they said it was like he never left when he landed back to the firsts session.

Well why isn't he in the team then ? Anyone can make claims like this about "talking to players". I seen him playing against Bellaghy at the weekend he didn't look too fit to me.

Only Gallagher can answer that one, or decide how he wants to use him. Tbf he probably would have gained nothing out of playing him on Saturday Vs Fermanagh. Did he come on vs Bellaghy?

I heard he came on for the last 10 minutes and Kicked 3 wides . Didn't look to be moving that well either.

[It's just not true!]

Quite a number of games played at 10.30 in Dublin

well don't I look like a d**khead i was going by upcoming fixtures

Haven't heard many complaints from players who actually played at 10am, rest of day free and seems to have went down well after the initial shock though a fair few changed to 11 and 12 throw ins.

I saw players tweeting negatively about the early throw ins.

Who did you see tweet this ? It's just not true!

It is true. See one of Mick McCann's tweets below.....

'Where else would you get it? 10am Senior League Fixtures in March. Split season going well. Hope the lad recovers, shocking injury'

Did you not see his next tweet , see below:

"Starting to like these 10am games "

A massive 2 weeks in store for Conor Laverty. Could make or break his managerial career! He will soon learn he cant manage every team in Down at the one time! If plays murdock in senior game u20s will lose. if no murdock in senior game, donegal will run riot.

Carmen ladies starting the league with a strong win at the weekend . Is this a sign of how the men will fair out this year??? A club on the way up it seems .

No mention of the poor Steelstown ladies on here . Complete joke ! You people are part of the problem by not speaking about it .

Only team not to win a game all year is Claudy. Not that much should/could be judged on league games when everyone knew they meant nothing.
The system isn't ideal for sure, but everyone knew the score at the start of the year so not sure why the crying match now.

True. The league a farce. What was the point of it ?

Don't see why everyone is complaining about the format now , when it has been clear from the start of the season this would happen.

I thought Donaghmore were very reliant on C Cush on Friday night. Possible 1 man band? Clonoe very impressive against a dogged Moortown team. Could be lights out for Donaghmore.

Cush very impressive indeed . He will be a tough man to stop though . I wonder how Clonoe will set up against him . Perhaps using the man marking skills of young Conall Coyle . Or they could even bring a McAlliskey back to mark him . Similar to when Aidan OShea dropped back to mark the star Donaghy back in the day . I feel that McAlliskey would be able to physically and mentally dominate Cush . Thoughts ?

Well wasn't that just lovely to experience. Given absolutely no chance by anyone outside the group of players and we turned over the noisy ones again. Second time in a few seasons we have beaten them in championship. Burren supporters around me calling for management to go. Serious amount of money spent there and a paltry league to show for it.
We move on to the semi finals now. Loughinisland have beaten us already and will be delighted with the draw - massive underdogs again but as we all seen tonight the tag suits us.
Bridge v CPN final I'm predicting.

Yes that was just great to see.
A bank-rolled team of so called superstars beaten by a depleted CPN team

Yes CPN were missing 4 big players in r mc Garry r Mallon r Magee and c mc cartan who aren't available for whatever reasons this year but full credit to everyone one of their players that graced the field they done their bit and deserved their victory. Can't see loughinisland beating them again CPN were poor that night in Kilcoo and will have learnt a lot from that night

Clear issue with Burren management , they need to get their best players on the pitch like the McAvoy cubs. They should look for Mickey Moran next year or maybe Jim Gavin.

Although I agree about the McAvoys, championship football in down is fast and fierce, unlike the type of football being played in Toronto. Hope he enjoyed his summer. Don't think Jim Gavin or Micky Moran would consider Burren. Could get other big names in, Davy Fitz be great for them as a performance coach, maybe alongside a good football manager with lots of experience such as Brian McIver.

That's an interesting proposition. It's one that may ruffle a few feathers but I think it's so ludicrous it might just work . Just not sure how the logistics would work out. But if both parties were interested they could make it work . Perhaps management and team meeting half way for trainings , or alternating training between Burren and Co.Clare . Who would you see as the back room team ? Perhaps Donnacha  O'Callaghan from Irelands fittest family could come in as S&C coach

There's no Fintona men (oxymoron) on that All Star list?? 

Still scratching my head over this one  Always thought they should have had a few nominated this year.
