Wise up bugleboy.Do you even realise that D Raff is a back,not a free scoring corner forward.

sorry didn't state the obvious there bitta-banter, Play him as extra defender!! I'll spell it out for you clearer the next time. obviously not gonna be the team but we're all allowed an opinion!!

Really think ross should swallow a bit of pride. Colgan, Clarke and Mickey Walsh are 3 quality quality players that Down could do with and it's obviously a personal issue with all 3.

If any of you were picking the team, who would you pick. You still have to take into account the players that are injured and are unlikely to feature, but you can pick the likes of Clarke, Colgan and Walsh.

I know what you mean, Caid. The excitement you get the week leading up to Championship Sunday is something special. It doesn't matter how poorly your county has played in the NFL, you always get the feeling that this could be your year.

The build up to the Down game has been very low key in Fermanagh. Not much expectation which suits us down to the ground. We had a very poor league campaign back in 2004 but ended up having a brilliant summer. Maybe we can surprise a few people this summer as well.

Down team id go with;

1. B. Mc Veigh
2. Luke Howard
3. Conor Garvey
4. Martin Cole
5. Paul Murphy
6. Declan Rooney
7. Aidan Carr
8. Peter Fitzpatrick
9. Dan Gordan
10. Kevin Mc Kernan
11. Ambrose Rogers
12. Steven Kearney
13. Danny Hughes
14. Benny Coulter
15. Paul McComiskey

I'd be happy enough with this team starting, only concern would be a left footed free taker, big Magee is the only real option as Doyle is still out. but I think its a bit too much for him to start.

What is the craic with Benny then??

Looking forward to this one, should be a close one. Fermanagh after the league dont look like they are poised to repeat last years Ulster run but Championship is a different kettle of fish.
