Are the quarter final permutations known at this point, if Kerry beat Cavan they're playing Armagh??

Hi all,
  I'm looking to purchase both Ulster county flags and a club flag. I see that county flags are avaialable on McKeever Sports (https://www.mckeeversports.com/collections/county-flags). Does anyone know where else does them and also anywhere that would make a club flag? Thanks.

Thanks all!

Anyone know where I'd be able to purchase umpire jackets? Thanks.

Hi all,
  I'm looking into purchasing a Veo System for our club, or the likes. Does anyone have any experience/comments on it and know of any sales contacts, or do I just go directly to their website?

I'm interesting in gathering data (skill execution/movement) so as to analyse it for each player and for skill execution in general, so as to tailor training sessions.

Thanks in advance,
GMF.

Any man know of any 'streams' for today's match, in lieu of not having Sky Sports or Virgin Media?

Is Monaghan's objective to go backwards in finding a replacement for O'Rourke?


'Banty' return could be on the cards in Monaghan


Seamus McEnaney is one of the frontrunners to replace Malachy O'Rourke as Monaghan senior football manager.

The Corduff clubman – current manager of the Monaghan U20s - previously managed his native county for six years between 2004 and 2010, leading them to two Ulster finals and a Division Two league title. He has managed Meath and Wexford in the meantime.


According to The Irish News, his is one of three names that have gone forward to the Monaghan County Board this week, with interviews expected to be carried out soon.

The other two candidates for the vacant post are reported to be former Crossmaglen manager Tony McEntee and former Scotstown and Cavan boss Mattie McGleenan.

This cannot and won't happen..

Don't worry. According to the Irish News Backpage today it's not Banty on his own. It's Banty and Rory Gallagher.

This cannot and won't happen.

Banty has happened lads.  GrandMasterFlash and Main Street can you describe that reappointment in 3 words?

Backward, regressive, unambitious. There's my 3.

Had Tyrone gone long as much in the games against Cavan & Monaghan as they did on Saturday night?

Running game against cavan mostly

Are you still hanging around the Div 1 thread, Itchy?  You're a dead man walking.

I am, just to see who's coming with me.

Touché! 

Very little chat about El Classico this weekend. My prediction, the game will not finish with 15 v 15. I think its a real 50:50 game. That normally means McManus decides who wins it. Talk about Gearoid McKiernan possibly in line to feature.

I see the Galway v Roscommon game is fixed for 15:30 (with ours at 14:00). Does that not give them sway in who might fall through the trap door? 

Roscommon have to win the game. I'm not sure how knowing the result of Cavan V Monaghan is of any advantage to us (Roscommon)?

It'd be different it this was the last round of matches but with the final round still to come the time of the games this weekend makes no difference.

I stand corrected.

Looks like four evenly matched quarter finals. All hard to call

I wouldn't be ruling out burren

Your have to fancy the winners of Scotstown and Burren to win it outright. Our young lads will give Belfast some wallop this week so they won't be fit to wag. Gweedore will be strong outsiders.

Burren just about got over a Kilcoo B Team in the Down final - I wouldn't see them making much of a dent in Ulster

Where will the Scotstown game be held, in Monaghan, Down or a neutral venue?

Have venues/times been determined?

Incredibly embarrassed for some monaghan folk and their fermanagh man blaming the ref after the game. I thought both teams were poor but we should have been out of sight by half time.

Incredibly imbecile and juvenile comment to come out with.. You're obviously not that old or you might consider the many times that Tyrone were on the wrong end of bad refereeing decisions, most notably Paddy Russell in the 1995 final..

Nobody, including Malachy O'Rourke is blaming Tyrone for Monaghan's defeat, just merely calling out the inconsistencies of the referee to both reward frees and account extra time correctly.

[If anything, the nightmares of previous Croke Park knock out defeats after they have beaten Tyrone earlier that season, will just add another psychological barrier for this Monaghan team to overcome.]

Tyrone strangely are the bookies favorites despite Monaghan's better season and the fact that they have beaten Tyrone twice already this season. Providing Monaghan don't get distracted by the noise around them, I think they have the ability to get to the final.

If you are predicting what will happen next weekend based on the fact that Monaghan have beaten Tyrone already this season then you have little knowledge of the recent championship meetings between these two. If anything, the nightmares of previous Croke Park knock out defeats after they have beaten Tyrone earlier that season, will just add another psychological barrier for this Monaghan team to overcome.

I don't agree. I believe the previous two QF knock-out defeats will help Monaghan get over this one. We've beaten Tyrone in Ulster a few times in the last few years. On Saturday at 6pm we had 4 possibilities:

1. Lose to Galway, let Kerry in, and go home
2. Draw with Galway and play Dublin in a SF
3. Beat Galway and play Donegal in a SF
4. Beat Galway and play Tyrone in a SF

Monaghan would take the second best option all day long.. Donegal would not have been simple either so I think Monaghan will see this as a great opportunity.
