Ulster Championship 2021

Would really love us to properly tank Antrim and run up a similar score to Donegal, Mayo and Kerry at the weekend and send a message. It's definitely in us to do it but I'd take any win at this stage!

Let's keep our feet on the ground and focus on teams we have to play rather than who we might play

Don't think Kerry and Mayo will be worried about Armagh beating Antrim

Armagh should rack up a bigger score than Donegal's over Down, far bigger gulf between Armagh and Antrim.

Our seasons goals have been well met

More of a message for Monaghan tbh. Ulster final is where I think we should be getting at a minimum and putting in a decent performance in one.

If we beat Antrim and do it with a bit to spare we woouldn't have learned anything for Monaghan. It is likely Fermanagh vs Monaghan will be dragging down to a dog fight.

1,700 supporters to be at Sunday’s game in The Athletic Grounds. Better than 500 I suppose.

Any increase is welcome. Is 1700 around 10% capacity?

Really doesn't look like any way Fermanagh will get the win here.

McManus injury a worry for Monaghan.

Blowitupref · July 03, 2021, 05:09:35 PM

A routine victory for Monaghan their next match should be a lot tougher. FT Monaghan 1-21 Fermanagh 0-14. Hopefully the Conor McManus injury late on is nothing serious.

Schkite · July 03, 2021, 05:14:06 PM

Routine win in the end but we looked like we were just going through the motions at some points. Gave Fermanagh a decent amount of chances, and a team with better scorers would have punished us. The period after the 2nd half water break really killed the game when we upped the gear and scored a few more points. Big improvement needed for the Armagh game.

Strong performances from Mulligan and Lavelle on their championship debuts, O'Connell and Boyle also impressive.

The win is marred a little by McManus's injury though, hopefully it's not as bad as it looks. Hughes didn't look as bad but hopefully it's not too bad either.

Monaghan were lax at the back and a better team would have racked up an amount of scores, but at no time were Monaghan out of cruise control.
There were a fair few of Monaghan lads hitting the deck hurt after contact, would that be the McMenamin influence?

FermGael · July 03, 2021, 09:20:33 PM

That was a hard watch today.
Fermanagh seemed to be a bit clueless.
We didn't push up on the Monaghan kickouts first half and still conceded 1-11 in the first half.
When we eventually did we actually got a bit of success from it..
We should have had one, if not two, penalties but ultimately it didn't matter.
Major plus this year is that we have blooded alot of young players and stayed in division 3( thanks to catching Cavan on the hop ).

I would wonder whether Ricey will be there next year or not.
Seems a very nice fella but ultimately Fermanagh have a shocking record under his tenure.
One win last year in the league against Roscommon and one win this year against Cavan .
