It was tactically spot on! Frustrated a team in every area they thrive on and hot them for scores outselves, only issue is our pack of ability to shoot from distance. In fact, the final score from Armagh there was a foul on Doherty that the ref didnt call. Was it great free flowing football? no because we would now be reading comments about how poor we are and unable to put it up to better teams if we had of tried. Tyrone and Donegal have won Ulsters playing frustrating football, you do what you have to. There are no rules that will change football back to the 90's. Coaches and backroom teams are too smart and professional now to use rules to advantage. Just leave game alone. Same people complaining probably spend a few hundred pound to fly to england and watch 90 mins of 0-0 scoreline and lads falling like they broke their leg and walk with the ball. Least we get it for £20
Did u not watch Doherty on Saturday diving around the place?? It was embarrassing - I think he got 1 free out of 4 diving attempts. But in the Down club championship he gets all of them frees as our referees fall for them every time.
U20s win the Leo Murphy cup tonight - Laverty should introduce a few of them to the panel going into the B cup. Time a few were cut adrift as they are not getting near the match day squads.
Who would you take up?
Doran is the only one who would make senior, the rest forget
Only 1 player from the whole group?
Write the rest off? They were in an extremely tough group. Drew with Tyrone who are in the final.

Next year we can fully expect to turn them over.

Anyone else hear anything?
Truth Hurts you're usually in the know. What's happening?
Sure why don't you tell us the rumours?
Wouldn't be right to put something up until it's confirmed. Could be embarrassing to any individual or club if it's not true.

Quote from: Cuan12 on October 16, 2023, 07:23:56 PMWhat happened over the weekend is the stuff of fiction writers.We have our county champions now dictating who officiates their games for some contrived made up reasons, had this been the case in the eighties and nineties I know of two teams that wouldn't have taken the field when certain refs were appointed.
So from a Down supporter this has opened a can of worms, a few unanswered questions remain.
1. What was the basis of Kilcoo s protest
2. Was there any pressure put on the county executive to replace Paul Faloon from another source as it is rumoured there was from a member of the senior management team
3.Who was making all the phone calls in search of an alternative referee and was this search started because our county final was on national TV
Had this final not involved Kilcoo , Paul Faloon would have refereed the match regardless of any objection.
It's sad that a team that has distinguished itself on the field should resort to shameful actions of manipulating who referees their matches.
They certainly didn't need to on yesterdays showing but maybe they weren't leaving anything to chance.
Lastly we needed a leader yesterday and our county chairman was no where to be seen or heard from, hopefully the next chairman or chairperson is more capable.
What a mess!!
The fallout of this may be considerable.

The merry go round stops at some point. Mayobridge was always split on his appointment. Not a nice thing to say but there will be Mayobridge supporters happy enough tonight as that confirms his exit.CPN might take him.
I hear that CPN are already in negotiations with him
Who in their right mind, would want or take that buffoon to their club? He's won FA, gets fines off the Down CB for his petulant antics along the line every week, and can't remember the third one..
Oh yeah, he's won sweet FA!
But sure pay him a fortune every week, sure he does a bluffer coaching session in Newry every year.
