Weakest Down Championship team in years.

Should we expect a shock on the cards?

[Mid Down Gael]

Good luck to the Down team today.

The points are well made by posters regarding the strong footballers who are missing from the Down squad for various reasons.  However the weakness of the selection for today is exaggerated.
For example,  12 of today's starting 15 beat All-Ireland champions Dublin only a few weeks ago.  And only 3 of them started when they lost  v. Fermanagh at this fixture 3 years ago.
Even allowing for some players short of match practice, and even allowing for possible wet weather, there should be no surprise result. The favourites might struggle, but should win.

Good luck to Peter in his first county senior championship match as a manager. First of many I would guess.

Deferred coverage on BBC2 at 7.30 which I doubt many will be watching as the game will be long over with the result already known to most.

Hate to say it but Fermanagh were woeful.  Down could have won that by 15 if they wanted to.

I cant find the game ,just some program About Singapore in 1942

[Captain Obvious]

One point by Fermanagh in 34 minutes no wonder they lost.

[John o connor]

Fermanagh should be fcuked off with the ref after seeing the 1st 10 minutes here. Tomas Corrigan getting the shit kicked out of him - Conor Garvey and Dan McCartan did as bad as Keenan. Another boy punched Marty McGrath in the face.

I don't usually mind Sidebottom but he has been a right pain in the hole this last 20 minutes.

Any more words of wisdom on the game you prat
