I am always open to a good debate on all things Down but the constant whingers will be drowned out as there is now a pathway developing and a pride coming into that famous Down jersey again.

I don't share your optimism and believe me, I, and I'm sure others, will not be 'drowned out' as you put it. There are more players now prepared to play for Down which is a positive but not all of those Kilcoo players are good enough to play for Down. As for a a pride coming, our reputation is already being questioned with the antics of our manager along the line. Never before have we stooped to the levels of many other teams but the higher the stakes get, I'd imagine the lower we'll be going.

As per usual you just cant see past your hatred for Kilcoo & Laverty.... for years we bemoaned the lack of Kilcoo players not backing the county and putting their shoulder to the wheel... Now its eventually happening your still giving off about the quality or as you put it lack of quality.... How would we ever know if they are good enough as they havent been there in the past and surely we need to see if they are good enough by seeing them on the field.

Who are they ahead off they shouldnt be ??  Given its the managers first season surely he has to look at as many as possible ??

As regard stooping low thats absolute crap... i've seen Fermanagh / Cavan play games firing balls onto the field & talk shite this year also... ur hatred view of the manager doesnt let you see what other crap the oppositions are up too

Interesting first post.



You did a great job at replying with an educated answer

You're gonna be some craic on here

I would say that the best 40 players are available to Laverty at the minute. Would you agree with that Mr Pessimist ?

Daniel Guinness
Caolan Mooney
Cory Quinn

There's 3 who would walk onto the team who are not available currently.

I think the management are bringing in a new mentality. Kilcooesque

Sure every county is at it?

And that makes it alright then. Kilcoo have taken this play acting to a whole new level never seen before in football, only natural that the Down manager would put this into his players now as many of the underhand tactics in Kilcoo are down to him.

Where does Newry start and end? Nobody knows.

When anyone mentions Glenn as a Newry club then I'd wonder why not Saval and Mayobridge too?

When anyone mentions Saval as a Newry club then I'd wonder why not Glenn and Mayobridge too?

When someone says "Mayobridge isn't Newry". They're right in my mind. But then neither is Glenn or Saval either.

——

Anyways Lotto's point that Newry doesn't deliver is fair - even if blaming the county board for this situation is bizarre and bizarre again.

And it's an odd thing when you look at it.

We'd all love to believe that coaching and culture make the difference. But you still need raw athletic talent if you're talking about a county standard player, let alone a county stand out.

Can anyone name some raw athletic talents in the last 10 years that have emanated from Newry (and as wide as you can reach from Newry). ?

You won't be naming too many. That's all i know.

It's close to a statistical abomination at this point.

What I find even more bizarre is that you haven't learned to f**king read after all the time you spend posting on here. I never made any points on the Newry situation so don't dare accuse me of saying things I didn't say. Right!

2nd game in a row Laverty has shown he puts most of his faith in his fellow clubmen to do a job for him, he got away with it last week but his luck ran out today. Some slap in the teeth to those who gave all they had for him for the last 5 months, to sit on their arse on the bench or in the stand. Brannigan in the squad 5 minutes and gets on, I mean wtf. Cavan take on 6'4'' Gearoid Mc Kiernan and we combat this with someone who is 5'10'' and about 10st. Joke on so many fronts.

I'd say that looking at the posts after the last two NFL games maybe 10/12 of the so called regular posters actually have gone to see Down play out of all who post on here. We all have plenty to say and I nail my colours to the mast that I will never pay to watch Down as long as that man is in charge but why do the rest of you not support them in Newry or on the road?

Karl Lacey the new manager of the Magpies. Huge name

As the winner of four All Stars, the Footballer of the Year award and an All-Ireland medal from 2012, Karl Lacey is the most decorated player in the history of Four Masters. Involved in the Donegal management under Declan Bonner for a few years but wondering who he has managed since and what have they won as a gauge of how good he is at it? Playing is one thing, managing something else.

A good East Down source told me that its looking like Jerome Johnstone along with Aidan Brannigan to manage Kilcoo. Conor Laverty will head proceedings when the county season finishes. The timings of the Gilligan and Thornton exit meant that candidates are thin on the ground .

I believe very little of what you say but what is obvious is that Kilcoo cannot attract a big enough name to fit their egos. If there is any truth about Jerome Johnston, even though having soundly rejected him weeks ago they may now proclaim he is the man they wanted all along. Jerome as a caretaker boss, catch yourself on that will just never happen.
