Down Club Hurling & Football

[corn02]

Dannymac, did you see everyone who was in the Belmont on Saturday. Not doubting you, but how can you be so sure?

[Fíor Gael]

stiffbreeze, you are spot on - murtagh has worked his balls off in the last 2 games and picked up a fierce amount of break ball.

i hear that all county players apart from last week's starting 15 were allowed to play club football at the weekend

Agree that Murtagh has worked his balls off but I feel that if Down are to beat Armagh we need to see a bit more class from Murtagh, while his work rate has been excellent, his vision and shot selection have been quite poor. I expect him to improve greatly and Hope he cuts loose, a big game from Murtagh is key to victory.

regarding Ryan Mallon apparently words to the effect of " you wont be scoring 1-02 against us the next time we meet" were uttered while repeatedly stamping on his knee while he lay on the floor.

championship should be fun, will the Point take revenge on the field of play, surely this will spur them on.

Before it came out what happened a mate of mine who works in the bar said there was only 2 of our players who were there (2 of the young lads on te squad who would probably know the lad), he was lookin out to see was any of our players about since we have a game tonight and they shouldn't really have been drinkin. The names of the people who have been banded about as being involved probably have not been in the Belmont in a long many a year as the Belmont is a younger crowd.

Can't see it being a factor as it will be clear by the time the championship comes around that it was none Clann na Banna lads of done this.

i wouldnt count on it danny, even if it was "cleared" as you put it i dont think the Warrenpoint players will see it like that, and taking into the consideration the high profile that this has now got in the press etc this one could run for a while yet

[Dannymcfella]

Perhaps your right, but i wouldn't believe everything i read or hear regarding it!!

[Bitta-Banter]

Any word on any Down men heading of to America for the summer?

[Whitehair]

Have to say from what im hearing i'd have to agree with DannyMc about not believing everything you read in the papers and would ask people to keep an open mind about the fella's claims. Possibly he didnt tell "Daddy" the full version of events, but a version that would best suite!? Its a serious claim against Clann na Banna and Im sure we'll hear in the next few days if his claims can be proved or dismissed.
