[Our Nail Loney]

Was going to take in the game yesterday but car broke down so didnt get the chance?

Any decent performances?  Who looks like they will make the cut?

Was at the match, pick was probably Henderson, who got 2-3 or 2-4, took his goals very well and did well from limited supply against the wind in the first half...

Miceal O Rourke was also good, hit some good frees, Clarke showed glimpses of class, though he did take about fourty steps for his goal!

Anyone look like they wont make it?

The two midfielders didn't cover themselves in glory yesterday but its hard to judge someone at this time of year in those conditions.

[Our Nail Loney]

The keeper had a bad start, fluffed a couple of kick outs straight to QUB men who pointed from it. The defence was a shambles in the first half and as the poster above said midfield did not shine, Vernon stood out for QUB though, hopefully he could translate that form to county...

Too early to make decisions like that either way. Most have said they were disappointed with the display, but it wasn't that bad. Queen's were the better side but the wind played a big part. For all who thought things were bad, did anyone ahve a terrible game? A few were average, a couple were decent and there were a few very good showings (Henderson, Rafferty, Smyth, two O Rourkes and Clarke.)

I thought young MOR was quiet, apart from the free's.

Howard had him pretty much wrapped up, & he didn't have the pace to get out in front or away...

I'd agree with everything being said.

[gander]

I thought MOR junior played decent enough in the second half, won some good 50-50 balls.  I though McClelland was very good as well.  First half was brutal, the wind was bad alright but the passing and free taking was brutal, a lot of balls gave away cheaply.  Mackin will have to improve big time if he wants a shot at the championship i think.

First half he and Henderson were living off scraps. Second half he pointed three frees, but he also won a couple and won a good few 50/50 balls against a very able defender. I thought he played well but I had the blue-tinted glasses on.

is Mark McAllister of tthe U21s the same one who had the Celtic trial?

[fitzroyalty]

yes

If he gets a move to Linfield I'd say that's the end we'll see of him!

[armagh leg-end]

did he not actually sign for celtic then decided against it?

[winsamsoon]

He did but apparently Dungannon swifts was more appealing  Oh how stupid decision come back to haunt .

[corn02]

Maybe a smart decision and he was being realistic. He will end up at Glenavon by the looks of things.
