Muineacháin v An Dún 5ú Meitheamh Ulster GAA Football Senior Championship

[lenny]

Monaghan point looked wide to me.....sitting many miles away from it.

Looked wide to me as well. Monaghan getting softish frees.

Monaghan v poor so far. Down just kicking too many wides

[Captain Obvious]

Down the better side in that half but more wides than scores and they find themselves three points behind at the break. Monaghans extra fitness will probably be the difference the longer this game goes on.

[ardtole]

Dont know how mckibben got  a yellow there. The game is becoming non contact at this rate. Good first half performance from a very inexperienced side, very soft frees the difference so far.

[Schkite]

Strange half that. We were pure shite for the most part and Down deserve to be the team going in 3 pts up. Some awful sloppy mistakes leading to turnovers and loose defending, but Down's poor shooting let us off the hook.

Big improvement needed in the second half. Even as poor as we've been there were a couple of half-chances of goals, hopefully we can take one of those in the second half.

[bennydorano]

Down have been impressive enough considering. Brolly watching his own version of the game by the sounds of things. He's getting his pre game thoughts (preconceptions) in and they're not reflecting the game at all imo.

[Il Bomber Destro]

Conor Lane is the worst ref in the country by far.

His performance in the Derry-Galway game last year was the most disgraceful performance I've seen in a long time and it wasn't down to incompetence either.

He's given Monaghan a nice helping hand today.

[Captain Obvious]

One way traffic this second half 1-7 to 0-1 to Monaghan. Fifteen  plus point win on the cards unless Down have some fight in them for the last fifteen minutes.

[Syferus]

Down a single loss away from going winless in 2016 now.

[Kuwabatake Sanjuro]

The last division 1 team to do that was Westmeath and look at them now.

[seafoid]

Very disappointing from Down.
An Dún means the fortress but that was a good while ago

[Farrandeelin]

I'd say there are a lot of counties hoping to get Down in the backdoor.

[armaghniac]

They can always look to their U-21s.

[seafoid]

 FT Monaghan 2-22 Down 0-09

[BennyCake]

I'd say there are a lot of counties hoping to get Down in the backdoor.

Is that a euphemism?

[Lamh Dhearg Alba]

No easy games in Ulster. Apart from all the games so far.
