Down Club Hurling & Football

[whitegoodman]

Last years performance by the under 21 management was poor but there has been some sort of improvement this year and would therefore give Collins one more year at it to win something on the condition that Poucher goes...........an EMBARRASSMENT to Down football.

As for a new manager if there was one, think they should be proven at club level or schools level, perhaps barney mcaleenan, cathal murray, johnny mccumisky or even ray morgan if he would do it.  Sean Ward does seem to be doing something right with Burren but id wait to see how he gets on taking a senior job if he does so before giving him the county 21 job ( And i know Collins was given the job without any previous experience )

Give him one more year - are you serious?? two good panels of players wasted now at this stage - why wait on another one getting the same treatment... Yes Poacher should go as he is a liability to any team with his hyper activity on the line and getting himself involved last night in the tunnel wasnt the wisest thing to do in the world... But knowing in our county board they will promote him rather thatn replace him.. i totally agree with your choices of management and all names mentioned have some clout - but just dont know if they would step up to the job.. Collins got the job as a stop gap as they couldnt find anyone else - lets get shot of him and his staff and replace with genuine quality...

Intermediate finalists from last year. Quite a good club with 3 county panalists in Kevin Anderson, Benny and Gary McArdle. They would be strongly fancied by some for the IFC this year.

Who would you suggest as genuine quality?

Aidy Fegan in the half forward line is a top class club player. 

Too good for Div 2 and not good enough for Div 1 is a fair enough assessment I think.  They can look after themselves if it cuts up rough too!

Alba2 - A Burren man residing in Killough. You should transfer some of the knowledge you gained from Sean Ward and use it to transform the fortunes of your local club Bright

Anyone hear of any players dropped from the down panel this week?

Apparently the colours of the magpies are gone coincidentally at the same time that the county is about to announce its new sponsorship deal with Sainsburys. That is a more worrying issue altogether, and it's not because the colour of the enemy - orange - will now be splashed across the Down jersey but to be the first county to accept sposnorship from a major English conglomerate is not the Dowm way.
