Its not the manager that didn't perform, its the players!

supersub as well as we both know when the 15 players cross the white line it is up to them to perform. but the management are there to make changes to their set-up when they see the need for change. from where i was sitting they didn't make any positional switches during the 9 point swing in the last 15 mins of the first half. clonduff did to counteract rostrevors dominance moving john fegan under the dropping ball, aidan carr to mid field and making sure that at least one of their halfbacks stayed in front of the defence to cut out the good ball you were using in the first 15 mins. rostrevor did make 3 substitutes at half time, strange that clerkin and mc grath taken off there were other players in line before them. they left monk cole on young mcpoiln until he was taken off but couldn't see that he would have been better used in curtailing the damage done by john fegan. colm murney was destroyed on that side and he should have been good enough to hold on to mcpolin. the dominance of fegan and carr led to your full back line being led a merry dance by ward mcconville and o'hagan.

to imply that your manager is not to blame is surely a little naive

Fair enough about clonduff changing their tactics I would probably agree. But that doesnt alter the fact that the men who took the field and those who came on for rostrevor are/were more than capable of overturning clonduff with their potential ability!

I'm assuming its the weekend of the 22nd but I haven't heard anything official yet.

Kilcoo v The Bridge will be a cracker.  Kilcoo must be big favourites, the Bryansford game will have brought them on leaps and bounds.  The Bridge will have learnt nothing against Annaclone. I hope we can stick with them for the hour.

hardly at the mind games ;)

My understanding is that they are waiting to see how the minors get on this Saturday against Dublin.

I really think this subject shouldnt be discussed on the board. Its a very serious issue and am sure it will be out to the public in future days.

It just struck me there now that even should a fiendish fightback meet a calamitous collapse, the Shamrocks can't catch Ballyholland this season. Which brings a smile to my face.  :)
