Bottle job by Fermanagh. Hard to know how that got away from them.

Even the first Down goal, man never should got in to get thd shot off.

BBC's production this year is poor, match continuing regularly and they are looking at replays or people in the crowd. Niblock's ego is getting out of control, has spoiled what was an excellent podcast and trying too hard to make everything super exciting on commentary, and the less said the better about McMahon. The lack of rule knowledge by both is also shocking.

And the really sad thing is, its the only show in town for watching GAA as RTE with canning an Marty is unbearable.

I think only if the ball is played in by the opposition and the defender catches it in the box?

Niblock said McEvoy is more use to full back because he plays there with kilcoo. He has been midfield for the last few years with Down.

Agree when Down got level after pinning Fermanagh in for a prolonged period, Fermanagh kick an awful ball over sideline poor basic skill error should have took the sting out of game and tried work a winning score. I think Down maybe got the winning goal off this.

Hopefully Down put in same fight when chips are down against Donegal in two weeks.

Down will be happy to get the win with Havern being pretty anonymous. Daniel Guinness was outstanding especially when game looked dead and buried.

Niblock tries to make it exciting and to be fair, he does his best but overcooks it at times. Similiar to his podcasts - needs to keep it a bit simllier at times.  Less is more.

Philly picks another player on losing team as MOTM. This time Love but I can understand it as Fermanagh were in control until last 5 mins.

If up by 8pts, teams still have a chance nowadays. Previous to that 5pts and the gamd was gone in reality.

Loving the positivity mate,  any more posts to make?

100% throw ball imo for the Down winning goal.

the 3 guys in the studio all agreed in the end (after a few replays) it wasn't a throw ball

Haven't seen Eamonn criticise any of the new rules at all. That's one of the things I don't like either. Some of the rules are bs and not a word said about them when he's on but anytime the rules have a positive impact all you'll hear is "Yeah that's the benefit of the new rules there it's what the people want to see"
