Down Club Hurling & Football

[redandblackareback]

Why is anyone surprised at the turn of events over the weekend? When CL was appointed senior manager that was the death knell for this county. The power they possess now has gotten to the can't control stage, Jack, Sean, and all the rest do the honourable thing and step aside. This has been a circus. Until we are rid of Laverty as county manager Kilcoo will be uncontrollable and Down will never be united.

It's getting into 🎠 merry-go-round time.
Any management changes been made or are imminent?

I'd expect at least a couple following the weekend results.

McCorry has left Burren. There's been a few other early changes under the radar.
I'd expect quite a few more movers over next few weeks.

A few thoughts from the weekend....

With the split season why doesnt CL manage his club thus avoiding an outside manager and the obvious "expenses" incurred

Why did the Burren hierarchy ignore their greatest player when he vehemently opposed retaining last years failed management team?

With Kilcoo so far ahead of all other senior teams in the county do they really resort to underhand tactics?

[Sandstorm]

Watched the game on TV. Burren had no penetration up front and why would you concede the kickout to a team whose ball retention is so good. Where did Burren's abundance of youth of a few years ago disappear to when you look at the age profile of some of their team yesterday? Plan B seemed to be refer to plan A and continue to play pass the ball sideways on the Kilcoo 45.

A previous CPN manager might be a better guess

Our Co Board are spineless. That statement is a total embarrassment. Trying to cover their backs. It leaves more questions than answers. Do they think the Down Gaa public are fuckin stupid to believe a bullshit statement like that. Chairman and Secretary need to take a long hard look at themselves. f**k their down ticket and f**k them. I can't give another penny to them under the current regime.

[Eire90]

is this where we are at refs  being threatened.

[ApresMatch]

Down statement is detailed until it gets to Saturday morning then it lacks any detail and glosses over what seems to be the crux of it. What happened on Saturday lads that meant there was no referee? Was the county management involved in proceedings? More questions than answers.

They were meeting last night I believe, so they'll want this to die a natural death and move on, but surely the rest of the clubs in Down have a right to know what happened as this reflects badly on all of us as a county.

[Truth hurts]

Referees on strike?

[Maurice Moss]

Head not too fresh today after Monday club. Not be much work today in the office.

[Square Ball]

Referees on strike?

thats the rumour.so how will the other referees treat Higgins now?

[Applesisapples]

As an outside observer, I am reading a lot of unsubstantiated stuff on here. To be fair to the Referee, Kilcoo and other parties surely the Down County Board need to lay it out warts and all. Kilcoo are only one club, the other clubs in the county could force the issue at CB level or facing that an EGM. Strange that your Kilcoo supporter has made no comment on the situation other than to advise all of his celebrations.
