Kerry are very good and with the Clifford's are very formidable but  Donegal are well equipped to deal with them and the process will win it for them. Donegal by 3

Blow ere here ta feck...

[Could be completely wrong]

1 more day.
Can't wait. Think we will be victorious. Just don't see how Donegal will handle kinsella , Duke , Costello, Morris.
In keoghan and raff we have the players to nullify anything Donegal throw at us. 
Could be completely wrong. But honestly can't see anything other than a Meath victory by a few

oops... donegal just awesome but meath miles off it and the manner of this defeat is a Big setback for the meath project

It would be a help to mayobridge if he was to return. As for Down Ronan Burns will be number1 for a few years if he stays about.

Armagh are definitely not ahead of them...

Monaghan I think could cause an upset. They will benefit from the extra week off...

Laverty has the job for as long as he wants it.
Down are competitive. No question about that. Our mistakes and bad shot selections cost us today and last week.
Great to see Newry buzzing again with Down in a big game.
Yes div 3 is a set back but had anyone said at start of year win 3 league games and get to knock out championship it would've been noted as a good year for Down.
Down have come on so much from Fermanagh game. And our competitivness against Donegal and Galway were a diff level. Find a couple of defenders for next year We are defo on the right track. Hopefully no one else decides to take a year out anytime soon. Or cries off for not getting game time. It's a squad game. Look at Armagh.
The anti laverty/Kilcoo brigade in the county will continue to slam the team but conor will hopefully be at the helm for a very longtime yet. Onwards and upwards. We should be walking div 3 next year. 

Good summary and It's great to see us competitive as we have not been for sometime. The interest in the team is there and it will help the process somewhat of getting the rest of our underage groups competitive.

Another great crowd and atmosphere in newry today which is great to see. The sam maguire is the competition that Down need to be playing in so it's priority we get back into it asap.

As for the game today we gave a real good showing but just come up short. Galway experience just got them over the line but only just as we kicked a lot of wides at a key time in the seconc half. Lavery will be dissapointed that another close game has been lost. It's the next step for this team to learn how to win these tight games more regularly and hopefully our panel can be strengthened next year with t least the return of liam kerr and sheelin johnston.

Overall this team is progressing in the right direction....

I thought we would be paired with Galway for this game. Galway are serious team, are beaten all ireland finalists twice in recent years and will believe they have a divine right to win the championship outright so they will be hot favourites.

On the other hand our boys will be very determined to build on current form and fix were they went wrong yesterday.

Looking forward to it...hon down

A Good performance from our lads and demonstrates we are now back and able to  compete with the top teams. The big focus for this team is now the last 10 mins of these games which we have faltered a few times times this year and ultimately why we are in div 3 next year...hopefully we find the answers for next Sunday and beyond because the sam maguire its the only playing at this level.

Gutsy performance from Down this afernoon in a game that had all the hallmarks of a game where both teams didn't really have much to lose. I imagine once the knockout games start next week we will see the scoring in games come right down. In the end if was the team that made the least mistakes in the last quarter that were able to get across the line. I'm of the opinion that the 3 man breach punishment rule is too severe but at the end of the day Down know the rules and it was they who broke them in an attack that probably would have seen us go back to 1 point behind which instead ended in us going 4 down which ended up being the difference. I feel we have to try and get more from the likes of James Guinness who seems to be hooked at half time too often for a player of his quality.

Down have every chance now in a home game agaisnt either Cork, Galway or Mayo/Cavan/Tyrone

Good performance from Down but just went against at the wrong time... we will learn from it...

There is pictures on the news tonight of buildings reduced to rubble in Israel.... its awful for the families concerned, unfortunately, though it's difficult for many in the international community to show any empathy given what has happened in Gaza...

Krishnan tearing this absolute sap David Mencer a new asshole live on Ch. 4 News.

As professional as journalists are meant to be it must be very difficult to retain this when interviewing fu#kers like your man Mancer without wanting to call them out for what they are actually are.  Can't remember the channel but saw a journalist interviewing that other tr**p who is their UN Ambassador last week, she was on the verge of tears.

Posh, fat, red faced, gout ridden, zero compassion, white supremisist, utterly shameless,evil, a poster boy for colonisers


This is Shocking and Shameful what is happening to many innocent children and people as we speak....

Big game against monaghan next. They are now div 2 champions so are now a div 1 team and have looked very impressive this year and will be hard to beat. Monaghan broke louths spirt with sheer hard work and intensity so I'd say laverys team  for a start will want to make sure the mind set is right so that we are not second best in this area and if we can match their intensity in this game we wont be far away...

Looking forward to it...

Lovely evening in newry... great crowd and great game which I think we deserved the win it but it was exciting stuff. Role on next week in Armagh
