Monaghan v Longford - AIQ Round 2B - Clones 9 July at 6.30 pm

Shamrock Shore · July 03, 2016, 10:45:08 AM

After taking one Ulster scalp time to move up and take another.

100% record in Clones in the championship against Monaghan. Great win back in 2004 (ish) when it went to extra time.

Longford hammered Meath in a challenge game the other evening so that bodes well.

See ye Farney boys in Clones next Saturday.

More chance of Longford Town winning the Champions League!

Some craic if Longford won

So Longford Town are 5/1 chance of winning the Champions league?

Big Sheridan gave us a rough time that day.

Perhaps Tony - but at least we still are in it!

True Schtike. Big Niall troubled many a defence back in the day. Nothing like him has been seen in Inter County football since!

Wouldn't rule Longford out with their good qualifier record but I suppose it all depends if Monaghan have fully recovered from last nights narrow defeat.

Good opening salvo from Shamrock Shore. Like Longford's attitude. Looking forward to Saturday's game.

I think this will be closer than people think...

Shamrock Shore · July 04, 2016, 03:02:50 PM

Just as a reminder here is the bauld Niall doing a bit of Dub worrying:

All we can do is give a good account of ourselves. The bookies will righly have Monaghan as red hot favourites but stranger things have happened.

Lovely to see a Longford thread in July

Looked online for tickets. Only unreserved seating available at 20 Euro per ticket. Is the hill not opened?

I would be extremely surprised if the hill (or any area) wasn't.. Perhaps the it's pay at the gate only.

What would the expected attendance be? 5/6k max? The terracing wasn't open for any of Monaghans league games as far as I recall so wouldn't surprise me if it was seated areas only. Hope not though...
