Just had a look at pages 16 17 and 18 it made me laugh this is a very special day for us mourne folk 

I like it when DOWN is written off it meanies the other counties are running scared as for the whole Dan Gorden thing he`s not playing so someone else get`s a start and were still winning, 2 from 2 bring on Armagh )

I thought down had a great game today but what stood out for me was the way we handled ourselves against an Armagh style Kildare team with the bully boy tactics.

As far as I am aware there has been a cut in the panel and I'm not sure about the others but I know one player in that named 24 is no longer on the Down panel.

Yeah find it very strange Sean was cut. I reallly had high hopes for him. Although monk was not playing well, he should be ahead off Dan McCartan. Mickey Magee and Stevie Toner also not selected while Darren Cunningham left earlier in week.

How many players did he have in the Mc Kenna cup squad I seen saxon,magee,parr,toner it must have been a big cut

[/quote]I think Brannigan is a strange one not seen much of him and Green at 9 could be a better choice ? but all in not a bad team looking forward to it.

I thouhgt down had a good game tonight but the first thing that comes to mind is the wee James factor up and down the line and loads shouting support to the players its a nice change.

We are all not from south Armagh

A good win for Ulster but a bad day for a game of football,Ulster had too much up forward .
From a Down point of view Benny played well Dan got a half and Danny hughes did well from the bench.

No real buzz about this game today i think it should be a good game of football , The GAA are not promoting it well?

Good news ,good for the county but a few people on hear had said this was going to happen! does anyone know what went wrong?

What if Pete does get the Armagh job and does a great job rebuilding them? will there be egg on some faces!!!!!!!

I see Danny Hughes has come out in surpport of the wee James appointment , Do players say this to stay in the mix or are they happy with the new managment? but im sure Danny will be there anyway, but should players get a say in the new managers appointment.

Did Paddy O' Rourke not go on UTV and put the blame on schools for the mess the county team was in?

Im happy to see Brian McIver on board it's some thing new but is Paddy Tally just doing the same job as before? I still think Pete was the way to go:-(

Yea just aload of kids messing about, poor game  hope sunday is better:-)
