Woopdy-f**king do, we beat a second rate tipp team, just cause we won a match dont mean were a good team, some of yous bies needa wise up, big time. The only reason we won tonight was because of B.McVeigh, made numerous saves and played fairly well. Some of yous fella call this a good win, put that team up against Kerry and we'll see what yous have to say

Seriously lad. Take yourself back to the Hoganstand and bring your An Riocht tinted glasses with you.

Everyone is entitled to there opinion and should not be told where to go no matter how long they are a member. its time Down had their sights set higher than beating Tipperary. its nothing to boast and be so happy about. A good division one team in down would beat tipp. Down should be hammering such an outfit not struggling for long periods and conceeding 1-9.

Nice to see someone on the same wavelength as myself, MDG thanks. Sights have to be set higher the Tippeary, thats why were a division 3 team!

An Riocht won the "b" final by 4 points after extra time

Wee James takes Ballinderry reins

Former Down star James McCartan has been appointed manager of Derry giants Ballinderry.

Wee James - an All-Ireland medalist with the Mourne County in 1991 and '94 and part of a legendary Down GAA dynasty - succeeds Michael McKinless, who led Ballinderry to county SFC glory last year.

McCartan's grandfather Briney was the first member of the famous Mourne clan to play for Down, while his father James, uncle Dan and cousin Greg Blaney are all All-Ireland winners.

Ballinderry, previous All-Ireland club champions, reached this season's Ulster club final only to lose to Crossmaglen after a replay.

McCartan was involved last year with Antrim senior champions St Gall's and also helped Queen's University to Sigerson Cup success in 2007. He has also previously managed Burren, the club he once transferred to from Tullylish.

Didn't know there was a caravan park in Ballinderry.

Thanks SB - I hadn't noticed that but can now see that there's fixtures there for your club and probably others but not for Saul for example - and interestingly we haven't been added in the Bredagh fixtures either. Is there a chance we've been automatically relegated or promoted and no-one has told us yet

I haven't seen any fixtures lists emailed out yet so would guess that the Down website admin is practising the setup for the year - if not, someone please let us in on the secret - gently

DownFanatic · February 03, 2009, 07:46:15 PM

Down website has gone a bit funny. The only club I can get access to in the club section is Aghaderg. I can only speculate that they are trying to put up fixtures as I speak.

No1 · February 04, 2009, 08:45:11 AM

Lads, the website isn't worth 2 fucks at the minute.

Can anyone post up or pm me Kilclief's football & hurling fixtures?

Was at the QUB V UUJ game there. Its time James Colgan was back on county panel. he marked Charlie Vernon very well. some difference in Colgan than Jack Lynch or joe Ireland, the pairing that Vernon cleaned two weeks ago. Ireland never even got a run out. hear jamie orielly quit the queens squad because he never got on in McKenna cup. thats queens and loughinisland he has quit on in his career and stil only 21. and yeah he starts for Down at present. Time Ross picked the best players in Down.
