Down Club Hurling & Football

[Johnnysboys]

See burren seconds dumped out in the first round of premier reserves championship tonight having only scored 3 points.

Certainties

Death
Taxes
Burren get beat by Kilcoo

[Truth hurts]

Has anyone a copy of the teams from the match last night, were both teams strong?

Séamus McEnaney has called time on his second spell as Monaghan senior football manager.

Would he be a option?

Would he be a option?

Definitely not!  Have I missed something or has James McCartan vacated the post of Down Manager

You may have missed something, perhaps the season just completed by the Down footballers.

For the vacant minor job?

[Truth hurts]

Seriously though, that's Mayo, Meath, Monaghan, and Antrim vacant. We need to rubber-stamp the appointment for next season or get moving on a replacement asap . We cannot be waiting to August again. The management committee and especially the selection committee should have learned from their mistakes that they waited too long. Call a meeting ASAP.

For tomorrow night's games, I think that Loughinialnd v Ballyholland should be easy enough for the Island and this will put the Harps in major trouble. They cannot buy a win at present. Rgu v Warrenpoint will be the closest game in the division and whoever loses will be panicking.
If you are neutral and are thinking of going to any games then forget it as I am sure they will be friendlies with a organized ref. I don't blame them as they got enough points to get into that position and now they can prepare better for the championship.
Annaclone, Liatrom, the Kingdom and St Johns need to start getting a few wins as they are in danger of being cut off the main group.
The Clone might get a kick with their new manager

[Lloyd p]

Yeh it's a mistake on the website.. Well that's what we were told anyways, wouldn't be fair to be relegated after finishing 5th and losing out on top 4 on H2H

I suppose when you go nearly thirty years without a provincial title, it's hardly surprising lads don't feel inspired to play for the county. The hunger just isn't there and lads are departing the county scene a bit too prematurely. There also appears to be a disconnect between club scene and the county these days.

[Cuan12]

Disconnect between clubs and county executive can be put down to the lack of foresight by the current county chairman, the secretary and the county executive.
When the executive decided not to ratify Jim McCorry when the clubs voted to keep him it proved what we the clubs had to work with which at that time can only be described as incompetent.
Surely Sean og should know where we are going wrong, he has been a long time in the job, I suppose it doesn't help when our current chairman is anything but competent, chairman is good at spinning a yarn but that's about it.
We, as a county are at an all time low.
Caolan Mooney was restrained in his recent comments, young players in this county used to dream about playing for Down, not anymore!!.
Suggestions- appoint management teams ( minor and senior)for a minimum of three year term, similiar , to Kerry every senior player should have the opportunity to play senior football- this will involve setting up regional teams, lastly no more back door in the senior championship , straight knock out.
