Wasn't a bad performance. Just a few handling errors and misplaced passes cost them in the end. Tyrone definitely the more clinical side and they pushed on with the help of the breeze in the 2nd half.

Wasn't a bad performance - are you serious? We scored a grand total of 3 points from the 26th minute of the first half until the end of the game. I said on this board a while ago - we won an Ulster u20 championship last year by playing one of the big guns in Ulster (Monaghan) who were in emotional turmoil after losing a teammate. We then played a real team and were knocked out.
This year we play a traditional Ulster powerhouse and - gone. Can we now please move on from this super duper unbelievable management team to realise they got so bloody lucky last year. They are no where near the level we require for our senior post when it becomes available.

Is the hurling game on live anywhere?

[imtommygunn]

It might be on tg4 online I think.  I saw an advert for it saying tg4 but the football is on tv.

JB who would your pick for the top job be? Or would you wait and see how the club championship went to see who's up too it? I know there'll be a clamour for some for Jimmy McGuinness but I think time has passed him by and his style of play is out of date

If Down seniors had any style of play it would be a start. .

U20s I didnt see it but I belive from those that were at it the 2nd half Down were very poor.  I can't recall the last time a Down underage team beat Tyrone.  They are miles ahead of Down.

[SHEEDY]

Down U20s played well for first 20 mins but as soon as Tyrone got back level and went ahead at start of 2nd half Down had no answer. Kick outs were major problem, every kick out was on top of Oran Murdock, if he didn't win it we had no other plan. None of the subs made much difference and in reality Down were beat half way through the 2nd half.

Apart from Murdock, who Tyrone eventually got on top off, there wasn't many others who you'd say are ready for the call up to the seniors

[Smurfy123]

Down 20s today were poor. Got a big lead at the start and after that were clueless.
Once Tyrone got going they looked very good
2 points in the last 50 minutes of football
Blame James
Blame Laverty
Have we got it?
A bad month for Down football
Seniors hammered
20s beat well
17s hammered

What is happening to the 17s ?
Who is over them

Think Cunningham from Burren

[Smurfy123]

As bad as the 20s were today what is going on with the 17s
We are at the minute a laughing stock
Laverty looked lost today
Monaghan looked lost when he was over them
We looked lost against Roscommon in the semi final

The 20s had a dream route last year
Fermanagh
Cavan
Monaghan

No Donegal
No Tyrone
No Derry
