No decision on the senior football management will be made to senior management to early August.

Bit disappointing but not surprising.

Minors?
Have they no shame to be staying on?A sh-t show set-up from start to finish.
As the weeks progress it'll all come out from the players as to how bad it was.Watch this space.

Who? Minors or seniors?

No decision made on it either, we are going to wait in limbo like 2021. Everyone should be onto their club delegate to give out to them as although everyone will blame the county executive for this but every club had a voice last night and yet we are still no further on.

Down gaa.tv is missing a trick tonight and should be streaming live updates from around the grounds from all the games, especially division 1. Patsy Russell and Peter McGrath junior could do it .

All the best to Armagh this weekend! Many of you may not like it, but they are a properly run county and we should aspire to follow in their footsteps! A team who plays attractive football, and let's hope they win it for Ulster!

:o :o

I wouldn't want Armagh to win a coin toss never mind an All Ireland  8)

A few surprise results tonight in division one. Have the wheels come off "no balls Burren" again?? 1 win in their last 5 games is not a good stat for a team aspiring to beat the All Ireland champions this year. We had a nice win - difficult place to play and conditions were horrendous. Thank god they were missing Loughran.

The bridge?
Two scores against their nearest neighbours?
Didn't score in the second half?
At home?
With the hottest coaching ticket in the county?

WTF???

Fixed.. not sure if it is head to head or what for league, wasn't anything out in the fixtures about placings when they broke down league spilt. But on website we're ahead on score difference

There is no way bridge lads would lie down to do Clonduff a favour!

That's conspiracy theory BS right there.

Serious flaw in the league structure the way it's panned out...Burren and Mayobridge downing tools because they've already got top 4 and can't be relegated. Burren don't care about losing games, they're most focused on trying to relegate the intermediate club down the road while the real top team in Down Dispatch another team tonight with a game that meant nothing in the grand scheme of things. Went to watch Point Ballyholland, poor quality and I'd expect both teams to be having a renewal in Div 2 in 2023. Scrappy game that was intriguing but Warrenpoint by far the better team. Bottom 8 split is going to be very close now with 4 teams effectively playing to avoid the last two drop places. Fancy Harps and Point to go down based off what I've seen tonight. Wouldn't surprise me if harps overturn this result in the reverse fixture, they always go well in moygannon. Loughinisland unlucky tonight not to get fourth

Phoenix rising

Another expert - would it not be better to say the team everyone tipped to be gone by now, Bryansford, are playing to the top of their game week in week out - only for dropping last gasp points against clonduff and mayobridge would be in the top 4.....
For people to think poacher/clarke  or mccorry would down tools or would be allowed to down tools is ludicrous

upandwin

Tell ya what if mayobridge scoring 1.1 in 60mins isn't downing tools then they must be absolutely dirt. Burren have won 1 of their last 5, getting beaten by RGU, Ford, drawing with Rostrevor all in that...giving a load of seconds and thirds players a run out for game time as they had all but guaranteed top 4 after 5/6 games. Fair play to the all the teams that are still in the mix that includes the Ford and point and Carryduff etc my point is that the structure of the league will make for an exciting finish in the bottom half but it's flawed. So Loughinisland miss out on H2H with 13pts a piece with Clonduff but could still be relegated. That would be hard to take for any team

Teams downing tools after 5/6 games 😂. Wild thing is that people actually believe this sort of thing would happen in a Div 1 club. Each club has managers under pressure to win games and will not down tools. Unfortunately was in Mayobridge last night in what was terrible conditions for both teams and a hot and heavy affair with alot going on off the ball and on the ball. Ref let alot go but did red card one of the Barrs in second half, harsh enough maybe. Wind was a huge factor, clonduff keeper made 3 maybe 4 big saves, Corey got injured with about 10 left but you can bet your house the both teams went toe to toe and bar Mayobridge wides and clonduff keeper saves it was an even game that Clonduff did better with in the terrible conditions. Burren have not been playing well. Defensive style of football not suiting them but look at the players they have out every week, full side available except for 2 notable injuries. Top 4 came down to a tight affair with Kilcoo running away with it but it was exciting for the top 4 and now the bottom 4 games will be the ones to watch for next few weeks
