Down Club Hurling & Football

[Mourne Red]

Better be true or else GAABoardMod5 is going to have a feckin field day

[Smurfy123]

It's all very much true
I would suggest Down GAA make a bold move and let the players go and take in last years ulster winning under 20 squad
The St Patrick's day fiasco now this
A bold move but the credibility of DOWN GAA is at an all time low
Enough is enough

[Truth hurts]

Its all very sad and it is not the credibility of Down gaa , its the credibility of our senior football team who do not treat the jersey with respect.

It is true that some players and management came home from Dublin due to the drinking. After the St Paddys fiasco, there should have been boys chased but because one was a certain club it was brushed under the carpet.Stop the payments Jack asap, stop the payments going to coaches, s and c , mileage, food etc. These primadonnas are taking us for a ride. Our changing room is worse than Man Utd.

Mostly good points but why stop paying the Coaches& S/C?

Because we are paying out money which is being laughed at. We raise this money ourselves through club and the county. Its actually very sad and when I think of the supporters who travel the lenght and breath of the country to hear this crap. I feel for them, I find it very hurtful and i am very angry.

So are you saying that we just stop everything?

At senior football level for the 2022 season. We need a change in culture and we need players who want to play for the county there.  As I said before, Down senior jerseys are being thrown around like confetti.  Down county board paid for the primadonnas to go to Dublin for a training weekend in preparation for the Monaghan game and the players decided to turn it into an episode of Geordie Shore. James McCartan will always be a legend and a Down great. He does not deserve this. We as a county do not deserve this so I am saying pull the county team for the 2022 season and reset and try and rebuild and change the culture. The culture in our changing room at the minute is poisonous and is not something I want to support. I am extremely angry and disappointed as we are all gaels and love the county but this has went too far.

Amatuer sports players have a few beers after taking half a day off work unpaid and travelling to a training weekend. SHAME on them. Anyone who has ever played sport at any level knows that socialising with a team is a massive part of it. A few beers after a game is normal in rugby and soccer and all the ''great down teams'' have done exaclty the same.

Few surprising results last week, looking forward to this thursdays games

The Cpn and Rostrevor game is going to be really important I know its early days but i think the losers of that could really struggle.

Bar Carryduff vs Ford.. I'd say all the games are crackers, something to play for in them all. Bridge following up and making last week wasn't a one off, Clonduff putting down a marker for later on in the year then the rest to get points on the board asap

[Hard2Listen2]

I know they tried to get things going a few years ago.

[Truth hurts]

That this Down thread will be deleted permanently is high on the list of possibilities...
