If the Downey influx materialises, what are the expectations for St.Brigids this year?

I wouldn't reckon Monaghan or Fermanagh have near those figures MR2 and both of those Counties have been punching well above their weight in Ulster finals?

Look, at the risk of an " if your aunty had balls...." backlash, it's like this....

Westmeath was a complete freak performance and result. Surely even the most negative posters on here can see that now upon reflection. Our scoring return was decent, our defence, putting aside the Westmeath match, wasn't the worst. We should have beaten Down, Offaly and a quite impressive Fermanagh team that went on to top the division. And we did beat the best team in the division in Cavan. Ok, it wasn't make or break for them, but to put that performance in and get that result considering how low they all must have been after the mauling in Mullingar was impressive.

If you cant see any of that then you're beyond help here.

It was never going to be a year for making a big impression was it? Survival and a good showing into a few rounds of the Tailteann cup would have been taken by most would it not?

Being somewhat competitive against Armagh would be a bonus.

Lets just see how things go shall we.  ::)

I fail to see any delusion in his assessment. Either you are just on here for the constant wind up and pop or you genuinely believe there is a crisis. If it's the latter then at least make some points

How many times do you go to a county or club game that's being televised, shout about how useless the referee was.....only to go home and watch the game back on the Sunday Game or Sky +, and be like....."eh.....actually". I know I do! It cant be an easy job and I respect anyone who takes it up.

Out of interest, have you experienced every other County's club scene and their match officials in action, or are you just extrapolating?

Steady on, I wasn't having a go at Cargin, in fact I was more surprised their quality even in reserve didn't get them the win over LD. Didn't think lynch would have played but that's obviously a big boost for them. And yes I'm pretty sure Cargin aren't losing sleep about losing early round league games. Creggan will be the same.

Creggan missing a few too many at the min but take nothing away from PG1 they look impressive and they  are a very well balanced side. Cargin getting beat was surprising considering the amount of men lamh dearg have missing. Moneyglass had another good win. St.Brigids look to be in bother.

What a difference a couple of weeks make. Heart in mouth stuff there again at the end, but brilliant to be on the right side of it at last! U20's beat Cavan comfortably earlier this morning too. Well done to all.

Fair play to you MR2. Despite the slagging and banter on here and elsewhere, I'm pretty sure 99.9% of people reflect and are grateful for the contribution you men make to the games.

In fact we're so 'on the ball' we tr**p all over the top of ulster league fixtures. We are some County.

Yes players up and down the country are training and playing 9-10 times a week between club, schools, colleges, inter county commitments because their county boards are also 'on the ball' in getting a long and full club calendar rolled out. Catch yourself on.

Regardless of being successful at underage level. There will be boys that have been coached from young kids to adult level miss out because of a fall out from another club. Our games unfortunatly following the soccer route with growing transfer lists every year. Fall outs / lack of game time / smaller clubs losing better players to the bigger clubs. Sad to see

'Growing transfer lists every year'? Any evidence of this? Not trying to be an arse here by the way. I just think the handful of transfers in the public eye are being sensationalised into a growing issue

Funny Antrim and Derry were missing their st.brigids players too
