JOH gets caught in possession too much surely? Tends to go for wanders from what I seen. And the other lad is a good player but not county standard yet, time to grow.
East/South. You all need to catch a grip. Poison. Pollution. Despair. I’ve no hope for Down football whilst all of you are contributors to any team.

Kilcoo proved me wrong - looking ahead they could get their hands on Ulster title yet. Well done to both them and Glenn, keeping the flag flying as they say.
Every year a Burren man/woman takes a right plonker of themselves. This years special award goes to Yewtree. I haven’t been on in a while so your prize is a little like you, sour😂.

What am I missing
Smurfy - Becoming like some of the other bores on here. You seemed to be celebrating winning nothing on that post. Now I’m not slating that, success sometimes isnt a measure of the trophies in the cabinet but the end result of the efforts. Saul for example, I think can be quite happy and rightly celebrate staying in Div2, why shouldn’t they. Bryansford, May once have been a team to beat, but tough times come to every club. Again what is success.

So we create an elite reserve league for these clubs, the rest we will just shove to the side. Sounds like a proper plan. Sign me up.
Every county faces the same battles, teams at different levels. The leagues and teams involved are not the issue. Participation is the issue but there is a lot of work going on at grass roots so hopefully we can benefit from this in a few years.

Thanks - Couldn’t argue with that either. Thought Ward had a good game too.

Nice post Brick. Did Ward get the MOM?
First game - Glenn just about seen it over the line. Never really got going. Don’t think I’ve seen so many black cards before in one game.
Second game - CPN will be ruing their performance. Struggled to get direct quick ball to inside forwards. But Kilcoo, as I thought, snuffed their danger fairly well. The goal chance for CPN needed to be taken. Ref was good, harsh to criticise that and in fairness neither the crowd or players reacted to his decisions - which is a good indicator.

Not as good as the team from a few years ago where I genuinely thought they have a chance in Ulster. This team will not pass the first hurdle.
Congratulations to Glenn, fairly good performance without excelling.
Kilcoo better team. Thought Ward was brilliant. 1-04 between two midfielders.

Yewtree, you’re progressively becoming an annoying git. I mean just lay down, enjoy the game tomorrow and don’t let the occasion go to your head. This crusade you’re on is boring. Seen the Ulster draw for 2020, didn’t see either East Down or South Down in first round games. Down was there though #onecounty

I’m not really bothered who wins, I’m just hoping both teams get to express themselves rather than fall foul of the defensive blockades. Kilcoo will be hard to break down for CPN though so I’ll edge with Kilcoo.
Can’t see past Glenn in first game.

It’s not in the referee report - That’s what I’m told. County Board acted from a letter put in and handed a suspension. Kilcoo submitted their appeal at the last, I can only assume to hope the appeal did not take place before the final. This is plausible.
Kilcoo suspending their player and then lodging an appeal - Not plausible. It doesn’t make sense. So any crap on here that they condemn the act do not match the action they have taken.
Either way, well done to the CB for swift action. Let’s draw a line under this and move on.
Looking forward to Sunday, can we get it streamed again? Too cold to go out 🥶🥶

« on: October 07, 2019, 08:16:05 PM »Frank’s record has not been bad lately
2 sackings and a relegation
Division 1 clubs who could potentially change manager
Clonduff
Bryansford
Downpatrick
Burren
Division 2
Saval
Darragh Cross
Bredagh
Longstone
Castlewellan
Saul
Liatrom
I’d have thought Mayobridge rather than Clonduff? I’d also say Longstone, Bredagh and Saul would be fairly happy with their season. Haven’t set the world alight but stayed in Division 2.
Is Dawson that good?

« on: October 03, 2019, 07:53:49 PM »Two despicable deeds over the last week. A young player goading his opponent over his dead mother and another player assaulting a referee because the same referee had abused him from the other side of the fence in a recent game. Lads, where the hell are we going in Down football?
Lotto, where do you get your info? Surely a referee, quite a seasoned one too, would not abuse a player over the wire - Especially when he knows he will be on a pitch with him at some point. As hard to believe as the tooth fairy. Just don’t see this as having any merit. What it does is try to soften the act.

CB are looking for new refs all the time lads, step in when you’re ready. Oh wait, it’s easier to slate them than join them. I wouldn’t fancy it, they are trying to keep on top of our mistakes, and we make a lot more. Plus, Falloon is in the inter-county scene and you don’t get there for being a poor referee no matter what we say.
Once we rule out the refs who can’t do the game there aren’t many options left. Con Reynolds for 2nd year......

the Referees done a good job at the weekend, let’s not make them the most important part of the final. It’s the match ups that will possibly decide this and whether Pount can keep that free flowing football going.
