[BRIDGE LAD]

Not you again Clown jim, your talking about the bridge team being aged? Actually the average age of the bridge team that started on Fri night was 24! So you should maybe get your facts right before talking shite again.

Think longstone will give Burren their fill of it.

[snoopdog]

is anyone else dissapointed tonight after watching how mayo put Cork to the sword. A good defensive structure where players knowing where they should be and using a bit of brawn. Compare that to what Down put up to them and it is sickening to think Down couldnt even do the simple things in defence.
Im delighted Cork are out but left thinking of what might have been if we had been anywhere near as organised as last year. I know we had a few injuries but it doesnt excuse that defensive joke that was last week.

i would be grateful if the posters post their selelction in this order as below, much easier for me to work with. Thank you.
Will accept An Cloch Scoilte's selection

Think Cork were caught on the hop the day much like Kerry were with us last year.  9 times out of 10 they would beat Mayo out the door imo.  Think it may also have been the case that they had more respect for Down than Mayo and therefore took Mayo more lightly than us.

I hope James stays on as defeat to Cork in Croke park, all be it a bad one is still along way from defeats in Brewster Park and Aughrim.  Maybe freshen up the backroom team and possibly a new coach could be options.  Needs to freshen up the squad a bit too as a few boys maybe taken their place on the panel for granted.

Agree with WGM on the disappointment of how easy it was for Mayo . However, we clearly have defenders who are not strong enough at the highest level while some key panel members have carried injuries and others have become complacent and don't appreciate the honour of being selected for the Down panel even if they don't make the starting 15.The absence of Ambrose was a huge loss- it looks unlikely that he will ever get the recognition he deserves but I still watch the DVDs of his performances against Sligo and Kerry to remind me of how good he is at his peak.
It was joy to see him, Benny and Marty playing together as with respect to the other lads, they made the whole thing tick and it doesn't look like that will happen again.

I think Cork clearly saw our challenge as the most formidable before getting another go at Kerry but the loss of Goulding and others clearly weakened them. Brolly is essentially right that they are good but not great although he also said, to over-compensate for the abuse he took from the Rebels, that Cork would wipe the floor with Mayo .

I think James should stay on and work out the best way forward in the post-Marty era. This should involve a lot of soul-searching on ;
Back-room personnel
Team selections
Team substitutions
Tactics.

We have another season in Division 1 with some tasty home fixtures where we have excelled under James.What we don't have is too many big strong mobile players coming through so I'm not that confident about next season.I look forward to seeing as many Championship games as possible as about the only benefit of an exit before August is that players won't hold back and the championship should benefit
