The soloution is simple , bring in wee pete and wee James and Mc Corry (triple threat )  ,then bring back Marty clarke , benny and big dan who are all raring to go , make smurfy here the new pro because he clearly has too much time on his hands and then spin down to cork , play the down way of all out attack and solidify div2 status . Build on this next year with an Ulster title and the year after with Sam

Simples really

What physical barrier would that be?
Did you not see the Kildare midfield running through on Saturday night
We have Mckernan Murphy Turley Millar Carr and Maginn all dropping deep into our own defence would it not be better to get on more attacking players?
We are hardly playing the big boys in this division.Yes keep Mckernan Carr/Turley Murphy sweeping but let's add something going forward to help out o hagen and the odd time Johnstone

No I didn't ,

And yes we are playing the big boys at our level so to sacrifice defence for attack against them only goes 1 way in my eyes. The only player I see making way for Jerome is Ryan

The first two games there wasn't much evidence of a system in place , since then it's fairly evident imo that Mc Kernan  is now a full time sweeper with Murphy and Millar working the wings and closing ball carriers down . Turley and Carr provide that physical barrier at midfield too . The 5 guys in them positions are the best available for their respective roles ATM .

Down v Galway Sunday
This is a game we can win if we go at them
Get the ball into O Hagen and Johnstone and they will destroy that Galway full back line
Same team as Saturday with Johnstone coming in for Millar?
Devlin in for Carr/Turley?
Any word on the injured lads
Can't wait for Sunday I have a good feeling about this game
Down 3-10
Galway 1-12

So you want change the tirelessly working half forward for an out and out score getter and a physical midfielder for a half forward . Genius

quick question.....

who were the two best midfielders in the all county division 1 last season ?

Niall Mc Parland and Cathal Magee when he played there .

I was at the Annaclone v Glenn game and my comments are made up of fact. Take all emotion out of the situation and put down the facts then. If we stick to what was shown on video/ccc hearing are we also saying the Annaclone player did not strike? I doubt it fellas. If you have seen the video you will know the clear facts, however flouting around the fact the ref called it too early tries to indemnify that 2 Glenn managers assaulted and took an Annaclone player to the floor, followed by subs. Why should a ref have to deal with that nonsense? As for the Ballyholland game I was not there not do I care however regardless of the finer detail Glenn were loosing in the last stages and a game was abandoned. It's called a trend! Things happen on the field regularly and that's where it should be left.

I've said before I like what Glenn brought to Div1 last year but this is not creditable.

After that spiel of complete and utter rubbish I am kicking myself for engaging you in the first place . See you tomorrow .

No wonder Glenn's players and management have acted in this manner if their supporters are anything to go by, this discussion board is full of Glenn nonsense, side stepping and defending the indefensible! How can anyone escape the fact Glenn have had 2 abandoned games this year: jealous of them, not in the slightest. Jealousy is born from wanting something someone else has, crap facilities, bitter management and a 'one-in all-in we're losing' attitude. If less time was spent on here defending their actions and openness to admit these failings maybe your club would receive more positive comments.

Reference the so called appeal and video - Did you see it? I'm informed the video gets the technicality that the referee abandoned without waiting the correct time, hence the ccc decision. It does show all of Glenn management enter the field and running to the fight, do not make out like it didn't happen you foolish child. Do not let the technicality of the decision reflect the real events. Post a copy of the video on YouTube sure, let others decide but doubt you have enough balls for that!!

Ha, innocent poor little Glenn.

Tommy you are relying on second hand info , that's your main mistake . Unless you were at both games you are just speculating . Who is your club out of interest ?

Good man Tommy. Any chance of a translation there? Is English your first language?

Sams I didn't read the terms and conditions correctly there, missed the part which said all messages had to conform to a certain standard. Good swerve on the content though, does not take away from the fact Glenn players and management are a disgrace to the club and county with their antics this year. County Board made a mess of the whole situation and now are out of options. I wouldn't bring a 7's team to them changing rooms!

Anyone know why Annaclone/Ballyholland called off?

Tommy, steady on with anything negative about Glenn.  Don't you know you can't criticise them on here?  Actually some people think that you are not allowed to post negatively about anything, they must fail to understand the concept of this board and what it is all about - DISCUSSION. It's obviously too difficult for some to accept.

Line ball Glenn have a poor record away this year but last year beat Rostrevor , Hiltown and liatroim on the road, how did the size of their changing facilities and pitch affect them three performances ? Discuss

Basing your statement (that Glenn's pitch and facilities was winning them games) on just one season was kinda dumb though . Do your research or you end up looking silly . And we are all about the future here , get used to looking at us

Glenn had -1 points deducted. Annaclone had -1 points deducted. For the following reason: CCC Meeting 2nd June

Now you tell me how your awful pitch and even worse dressing rooms are not an advantage to you?  I'm not even going to start on your abysmal disciplinary record this year but I would be interested in how you are going to try and defend that one.

Line ball , I would imagine most teams win more home than away , but I can't be bothered looking through the results to back that up , the only disappointing result there is the long stone one but we put that to bed on a neutral pitch a week ago , so basically all top
Half teams beat us at their home pitch , no shame in that . Mentality and hard work wins games , the rest is smoke and mirrors

I don't agree with the stuff that Glenn are getting up to this year...some of it is horrible and despicable...doesn't take away from what they have achieved lately and in the past football wise. Bit like Tyrone I suppose.

What are you referring to when you mention their past achievements ?

Senior championship wins maybe ..😏

Tommy quick question , were you at either of Two games Glenn were involved in ?

Coming from a ballyholland man that holds little or no weight .

Managed two games in the last 24 hours and both were enjoyable.It must be frustrating to be a Ford supporter as the whole is less than the sum of the parts.Dawson did appear clueless but the yellas usually produce at least one good championship performance each year and they were good value for the win. The O'Hagans, Aidan Carr and big Arthur were excellent and maybe Gearoid is potential successor to the man nobody seems to have a good word for
I reckon if the vote was run again he would be out.   Glenn were lucky to beat the Stone; however the fadhians had only themselves to blame for not getting Mark Poland on the ball enough.They still could have won it at the end when Ambrose was bearing down on goal but lost possession and Glenn went down the field for the insurance point.

Whats the point in even entering it then if you've no chance in winning!!  Your luck will maybe run out in the next round!  Dont worry you'll soon be meeting your old friends Ardglass in a few years but at least you'll have decent facilities!!

Ahh feck sake Charile Tully The caravan went up in smoke with Fran the Man #lovehate
Glenn where ahead the whole game but yeah must have been luck 

ah urban just take your medicine like a man .
