Anything to do with under 20s still being in competition I wonder ...

He did put that manager in place that day then again for good measure some 10 years later.

Back up obviously required for TH.

If I was looking foolish I'd change the subject too

He said available to , they are unavailable to him . One word is the opposite of the other

Maybe we should also go back to telling defenders not to cross the halfway line

Wee Jamesy and terrific Tommy's posts certainly aged well  ::) two Niall's were two of the best players on the pitch today along with Oran Murdock imo . Solid Down performance

Alternatively, it could be that Down have a couple of decent club teams with a lot of experience playing against Kilcoo and are therefore further down the line of working out how to play against them than random teams across Ulster who rarely play them.

Also worth noting that club football rarely gives any indication of the strength of the county team.

This could be true also

If that was true then every best team or player in every team or individual sport would win all the time. They don't because of other factors including physically and mentally peaking at the right time . It's not cliche it's just modern sports science . Don't worry about being mean , it's only my opinion so I'm not offended if you don't agree   :D

Burnout probably the wrong phrase . Peaking at the right time of year is more what I meant . Their peaking window time is different than other Down clubs ,unfortunately for the rest  they have enough depth to not peak and still win Down

Risky for sure , but it's either go full on for Down and risk burnout for all Ireland series or risk going steady through Down and peak for an all Ireland series . With numerous Down titles in the bag I'd imagine the second risk is probably worth it in their mind . Just how it looks to me . No coincidence they just about slip through Down year on year then look a different team in ulster

Or a more likely explanation is they treat down as a warm up to the real thing .

There's been a whiff of the Tyrone championship about this year's SFC (at least since the rubbish back door nonsense ended anyway ).

Here's hoping for a surprise end winner too.

In what way ? It feels like another procession


Penalty kicks to stay in a championship ain't no procession.

It's been a good championship.

Tonight's game was shite, no doubt. But what to do? Try to take Kilcoo to a coin toss and they always call the right side. Clonduff's near win means we will all keep trying it for another year or two at least. Sooner or later one of the better sides will unearth a superstar and it'll change.

Depends what their target is at the start of the year .If it's to Scrape through Down to peak at ulster and all Ireland then I'd say they are right on track . It's been a dire championship to watch , teams playing not to lose instead of trying to win . Trying to beat kilcoo at the game they are the masters off .
