[stpauls]

Anyone know for definite the closed fortnight dates?

the last round of games are set for Thursday 9th July, with the next round set for Sunday 26th July, but this could change depending on how Down do in the qualifiers.

LFDown2,

I hope this is a bit clearer for you!!

After a heavy weekend it was probably a bit too much for your eyes to compute!!!!

[Town Gael]

No mid down Gael I never said that Kilcoo were not understrength, I said Castlewellan were- Luke Toner, Ruairi McArdle,Finbar Lennon, Niall McArdle, Aidy Burns, Bernard McAleenan, Mark Stratton, Kieran McCabe and Shay McVeigh all missing. By the way, you said Paddy Devlin was missing- he is only a seconds player, wouldn't even get on a div 4 senior team and Ciaran McClean would not get on Kilcoo's strongest 15. Don't be a sore loser now and take your beating

Fair play. Yous beat Kilcoo in Kilcoo for first time in ten years, good on yous. No need to insult club players over a message board. Nial McArdle has not played in 3 years and most off othersnamed wouldnt make the town seconds apart from Burns and Ruairi. Paddy Dev started in League final Last year, yeah div one final. So no need for insults in a joyful weekend for yous.

Niall McArdle played last season and is back training, Aidy Burns is training and all the others I mentioned played senior football in the last 3 weeks

[DownFanatic]

island always in front and never looked like losinf a game. Shay Curran was back playing for the point. Downfanatic - heard that he said that the football was that bad in dundrum he would happily travel back to the point three times a week rather than continue with that rubbish. just in respect of transfers how long do you think it will be before mc comiskey transfers to another club?

For his sake it has to happen soon (imo)

Please provide a well thought out and structured rationale as to why McComiskey should transfer.

Ive heard many opinions on it over the years and no one has given me a coherent argument as yet.

I await your response with great excitement.

By the looks of it there are a number of posters looking forward to that response.... Over to you Spirit

[Mourne Rover]

Can anyone shed some light on the tactics of our management during the MHC semi against Derry at Casement on Saturday ? From the start of the game, we were seriously lacking pace and losing individual contests all over the pitch. Derry,who were obviously a decent side, pulled further away in the second half and eventually won by 12. However, we only used a single sub in the entire match. This made no sense at all as by all accounts we had some reasonable players on the bench. Apparently, when we beat Fermanagh by 20 plus points in the previous round, we again only sent on a couple of subs late in the day. We lost to a better team on Sunday, but our general approach looked clueless.

I think our lads made Derry look good to be honest. Derry struggled to get past Armagh 2 weeks ago and will struggle even more against Antrim.

No idea what the management were up to. Last week they made one change early in the second half. With the game over at half time it looked like an ideal opportunity to give some lads who have trained all year a run out in the championship at Casement.

Only one change again yesterday when our defense in particular looked all at sea. Don't understand it myself.
