Well of the top of my head with lads on panel
Kilcoo 5
Ballyholland 4
Burren 4
Auglisnafin 1
St John's 1
Saul 1
Mayobridge 4
Glenn 1
Clonduff 2
Downpatrick 1
Carryduff 2
Longstone 1
Bryansford 2


Now why would any of those clubs play with men down?
How many of them would start for the their seniors? Especially the bigger clubs

Smurfy123

Probably every single one except Kilcoo

CPN have 2 who didn't make the 26 and will start for us

Both them

I presume the u20 ulster final will be in Armagh.

Great performance again by our U20s. It's a joy to watch the pace and flair they attack with. Only for the keeper Down couldve had 4 or 5 goals in the 1st half. Despite all the negativity on here about the league it's great to see a Down team winning and winning with flair, playing the game how it should be played.  Monaghan will be tough opposition. They look a big strong outfit. Hard to know at this age group. It will be a real test for these lads. But the game management looked good also in last 2 games start fast and get the scores up and then in 2nd half close the game out. An ulster final to look fwd to now next week probably in Armagh sat or sun.  I wonder what way tickets are for under age games.

Great performance by u20s, especially in 1st half and they should've been much further ahead at half time.

Tragic news from monaghan after their game last night shows how quickly life can change. RIP Brendan Og Duffy.

Very sad news about the Monaghan under 20 captain
A very sad day
It's really hard to take in that
Thoughts and prayers with his family

It's really does make you think
We talk about leagues getting held up
For what's it's worth
Let all club leagues go ahead next Friday and do away with relegation
And let the under 20s concentrate on that

But after the news this morning I'm not really worried what happens
Let lads play and enjoy football

Smurfy why are you still going on about the league's, I can't believe you are still going on about this! It's a development squad, the league's go ahead, players can play both, end of the line.

Interesting lots calling for Laverty to be appointed next Down manager, couldn't win a game with Monaghan last year, and you look at a year older Monaghan team today winning through to an Ulster final.

It's one thing coaching 16, 17 and 18 year olds in your own club but a different game with senior IC players. I really don't know where we turn to maybe an outsider again but please don't mention the usual same old names like Wee James, Poacher, Ross, Deegan, Mulholland, they simply aren't good enough. People might not agree here but surely Benny needs to be considered?

Smurfy123

Development tournament or not the players wil not be allowed to play
That's the bottom line
So you expect players to play Friday night and then an Ulster final on Saturday night?
Is that what you are saying here?

SHEEDY

Anyone asking young fellas to play on a Friday night with an Ulster final the next night needs to have a word with themselves.

Well said Sheedy
It will not happen
The under 20s will not be playing club football on Friday night

manwithnoplan

The football world doesn't revolve around them. There are plenty of others who are looking forward to playing for their clubs next Friday. Crack on.

Smurfy123

Plan I get that I really do
I know the leagues don't revolve around them
But why should say Saul play 4 or 5 games with big O Hare there best player?
Why should they have to play without him?
That's my point here
I agree all matches should be played but they won't

It was gone for me but came back up. Not sure why.

Disgraceful comment Lotto, no wonder discussion boards are near a thing of the past
