I have to agree with Sam, but I would go one step further in saying we have a business which currently turns over in excess of 1 million pds per annum ,and the performance on the field at all levels is not acceptable, we now should be taking steps to remove the executive.I am calling on the county board to call for an EGM , supported by the club chairmen and vote in a new executive.If our board reps and club chairmen don't do this we will see a repeat of the u21s performance time and time again.
I know my club and the majority of east down clubs would support such a call. Enough is enough.

WTF are you drinking?
Name your club and the clubs to follow you...
Is it any wonder we are doomed....🍩🍩

Our County finallists and Bryansord from East Down along with 9 south Down Clubs in Div1 next year.

East Down....2 reach the county final the other retains the league...
👏👏👏👊

Harps battered Bryansford in the 2nd half. Hit the cross bar twice and a wee bit of complacency in front of goal cost them. Ford scored once in the 2nd half. Fcuk it it was a great season. Thon Dawson's a p***k btw. And hot of the presses Wee James has the minor job.

You failed to mention Bryansford "battered" Harps in the first half.....job done.
The only p***k in Hilltown yesterday was the one running about waving imaginary cards at every foul and continuously making a complete c**t of himself and your club.
You also will be glad to hear young devlins jaw isn't broke just a lot of dental work required. Maybe next time.....

Don't think even wobbller could defend what happened today....
Time the co board came down hard.....

Guarantee them a AI Final ticket if their county progress. Simple

These changes won't work - simple.
Couldn't understand something like 37 clubs voting for it either.
Crazy. It will be like the adult leagues - revert back in a few years.

Wish the new Manager every success and support. However i cannot understand the enthusiasm for his appointment. His CV is not that impressive.Won County championships with teams that would probably have won under any Manager. No success in the wider arena of the Ulster Club Championship.No experience of County management. Hopefully he  may prove to be an excellent appointment, though i say that more in hope than expectation

I think you should get a copy of his CV and re-asses your statements.

His achievement in turning Kilcoo from rural also-rans into Ulster finalists is remarkable. And as for no success in Ulster - His team has beaten St Galls and Crossmaglen, both recent All-Ireland champions (and before last year, the only teams to win Ulster in a decade). How many mangers have beaten Cross in Ulster in the last 8 years. Two, and yep, McCorry is one of them.

Now that's not to mention getting Armagh to a National Football Laegue final (no county management experience!!!)

Hard to know where to start.

Firstly, I agree with Wobbler on the logistics/funding. Whatever we think of the performance, these lads put in a big effort and I don't begrudge them a night in Wexford. It was well after midnight when we got home and it's interesting that the majority of those criticising this aspect of the arrangements didn't bother their holes/had other pressing commitments (delete as appropriate) going to the game. Also, the county board are right to consider different ideas to raise revenue- it's a thankless job and there are always going to be people who complain about the dark rather than turn on the light.

I don't think people are complaining about the fact that the team gets a night in Wexford, but rather that a night away with a few scoops seems to be prioritised over better/proper match preparation. I agree that the players work hard and definitely get too much abuse from supporters but that has nothing to do with the stay in Wexford. Ideally they should stay both nights in Wexford but if the county board can only afford one, then it should have been the night before to save a long journey on match day and give them a few more nights out further down the line this summer.

Some amount of crap on this.
That Westmeath team definately stayed in Jury's last night or maybe slept in the Changing Rooms.😃
Name the best 20 players in Down and see how far Jim McCorry is away from it - players just aren't there.

3 Down football teams now fail at Celtic
So much for all the hype.
Really disappointing day.

What? Was the biscuits not nice as you sat
on your hole and didn't bother going?

Wobbler you are always the smart fella with the answers, I was in Derry today and thought both teams were poor. Am I not allowed to express an opinion?

As for the minors - not much change there in a year...

If you were at the match apologies but you posted at around 5pm

Have you ever heard of 4G and it isn't a football pitch...🙈
