Quote from: bennydorano on September 04, 2026, 03:33:38 PMWhat about Monaghan? Watched an OTB clip with Bannigan. He's answering any questions asked and sparing no blushes. If it's McCague coming in at the behest of the Scotstown mafia, its not gonna be a receipie for success.

Watch this developing as have heard strong rumours of the Corduff linked set up behind it all....with RG as part of it

Im trying to think who the players with clout doing the agitating would be if that were the case? Hardly Scotstown men, Ballybay?

Of course always two sides to things, but Bannigan is pissed off and rightly so. Fair play to him for speaking his mind but noise like this rarely tends to benefit the team.

He says 2 older players wanted change and went to the county board and he had a load of lads ringing him after he was pushed out saying we didn't know we needed to go to the county board in support of you, if we had known then we would have 100%.

These things don't tend to end well.
That's just, like your opinion man.

Not so sure.

Last two years have reached the last eight of the championship which is better than some counties have done who consider themselves around the same level if not better than Monaghan.

Will Monaghan ever win the All Ireland? Would Mayo inspire them ? It is a great football county that produces great players like Nudie and Beggan and McManus with strong clubs like Scotstown and the Harps

Conor McManus was doing the commentary beside Thomas Niblock saying how amazing it was for Mayo but it would be even more amazing if he was talking about Monaghan winning the All Ireland.


Where is Niblock from?

I hear the malarkey of Mayo inspiring unfashionable Counties to win an All Ireland. It's not like Mayo came out of nowhere - they are always on the mix.

If they inspire any county it will be Mayo itself to do it again.

Mayo weren't in the mix in 2022,23,24,25 and didn't look like a team that would be in the mix this year after less than good performances against Roscommon,Monaghan and Meath so in short it's the type of win that could inspire others though not sure about Monaghan.

Mayo beat Kerry in Killarney in the Championship in 2023 - with the guts of the squad that won the AI this year. The last team to beat Kerry in Killarney in the Championship before that did it in the '90's. And Mayo won pulling up.

Non jeopardy game same as Donegals win in Killarney this summer. Both Donegal and Mayo then out before the 4 last stage.

Now Mayo's win this year could inspire Donegal for 2027 in what will likely be Jim McGuinness last year in charge.

Jeopardy or no Jeopardy. A Mayo team in transition should not be getting close to Kerry at home in the Championship in Killarney. Never mind beating them easily.

North Leitrim club Melvin Gaels have appointed Sligo ladies footballer Nicola Brennan as the manager of their intermediate men's team.

The Sligo woman has a decorated football career, winning Connacht medals at inter-county, club, and college level.

In taking the role, Brennan is believed to be the first woman to manage a senior men's football team at club or intercounty level.

The Tourlestrane woman will see the Gaels through the remainder of their intermediate championship campaign following the departure of their management earlier this week.

Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Would O'Donnell not be viewed in Donegal as a natural successor to  McGuinness?
