Poor game to watch but a good win for the Harps. Warrenpoint's shooting was shocking and they are playing at far slower tempo than they were earlier in the season. Any Burren/Rostrevor men there last night will have come away encouraged with their league and championship clashes coming up.

They are a good side but they are missing a few older lads, I fancy Rostrevor to run them close in championship

All depends if Rostrevor have all players available, not a lot of strength on the bench, as seen in their recent results

Surprisingly the Rathfriland Outlook does a good GAA coverage, and lots of pictures of the twelfth celebrations!!

Sean Rooney interview in the Irish news today was embarrassing. The man never comes across well. Any chance of a new chairman agus new manager!

[Targetman]

The Irish News must have feck all to report on whenever that makes back page headlines

Two fat messes

Paddy Tally for manager , let him pick his own team, proven record , wants a go , give him a chance , maybe Stephen Poacher might be asked to help but whoever the new manager wants on his back room team , we should as a county support his judgement , not like the treatment handed out to Jim McCorry by the county executive.
Question for all that read this forum , after the negative rubbish Danny Hughes wrote about our county, why is he on the selection panel, also what the f. K is Jack Devenny doing on it, there are enough good experienced football men in Down who are far more capable than that p***k.
What does he know about Down football other than antagonise football clubs.
It would drive you to despair !!

There is rumours of plenty of interest in the job with money available through sponsors and other individuals.  Paul McIlvor, Tony McEntee and Gavin Devlin have all been mentioned.  If any of that trio are actually interested I'd have them ahead of the Mulholland Poacher combination.

f**k me. Really, genuinely, f**k me. Have you even thought about this at all?

Danny Hughes has played against or managed against every team in the top 3 divisions in Down over the past 3 years. So if there is a team that is unusually well set up or well motivated, he will be aware of which local managers helped this happen. On top of that, his inclusion is a very clear statement from the county board that this isn't a yes man exercise. Which let's be honest, we all want.

Then there's Jack. A man who spent half a decade running the QUB club. Apart from the obvious direct bonus that he went through a similar process appointing Sigerson managers every year and knows how this shit works, think about this. As a direct result of that tenure he has a network of relationships across the province, in every county, to point him in the direction of promising and interested coaches. And f**k me is also vice chair of our county.


I'm not expecting a response to this as whatever you come up with will be absolute bull shit and unnecessarily personal towards men who've given more to this county than you ever will. But if you do want to talk about... first tell me who the f**k is better qualified in Down football to sit on this committee?
