Did Down players forget their boots tonight? All they did was fist pass. It was like watching rugby. Woeful display.

Down have been playing this way for a few years now. Practically since McCartan took over although it has worsened since Clarke departed. A very cautious possession based game with plenty of bodies behind the ball. It is at odds with how McCartan played the game himself.

Dublin just done enough tonight, poor game of football overall though.

It was poor stuff alright, akin to rugby league.  Ever single free DOwn got in the second half seemed to be hit sideways and at one stage I counted 12 Down players, not including Brendan McVeigh, inside their own 45. I know Armagh are poor too but at least thery will have a go at it and kick the bloody thing into the forwards.

Very young and inexperienced Dublin team.

2 x Players of the year (Brogans), All Star for last two years (Flynn), One of the best Full backs (R O'Carroll), Ciaran Kilkenny + four of the AI winning defence + many more to come back into the panel.

Good nights work.

Down were well beat tonight, no real positives at all and to be honest it wasnt unexpected. We simply are not good enough at the minute, we have a few lads out injured but so does every other county. The championship is not that far away but an away game at Celtic Park will be tough going.

benny and that wee hallion laverty were deployed back in defence from the start. a player like benny must have bee wile frustrated.
