This time last year you couldn't have gave tickets away and now you'd think nobody else goes to matchers only you." Is this because mickey ain't winning Matches...

Replying To JahTribe: "Filthy tackle by the Derry lad cost his team and good enough for them. I hope Damien and Robert have only light knocks. Great to see Cillian back on the pitch and Shane is showing glimpses of this form and will only get better. Big win for us and one I expected, collecting on Galway to win by 4-6 points at 13/2. Derry heads are gone, expect they will go out to Armagh." Awful tackle and absolutely no need for it.He should get more than just a game.

Replying To Bigjoe1: "We definitely have better hurlers, in general, than Meath, and we're at home, but this is do or die for both teams, Meath been Meath will fight to the final whistle so we're in for a dogfight." Well at least we got that out of the way.Now take next matches v Laois seriously and the board need to do their job and find the right man for the job.
They made us struggle for a while but with Probably Kildare coming up Mcdonagh will be even tougher next year.

The early stages of that first half they looked like a team under pressure to make a serious comeback statement. McKinless definitely cost his team but although not as malicious, Rogers ill discipline in the second half was nearly as damaging as it cost them 1-1 at a time they were in and around level. And two very senior team members too. Galway a very controlled team and played that game out nicely. Yer keeper very steady. Very tight defensively as well and that is good marshaling of the marquee forwards of both Mayo and Derry two games on the trot.

Congrats on a good win. A very ill disciplined performance from us that I don't want to see again. Really disappointed to lose but more disappointed at the ill discipline. Big questions for Harte now from Derrys point of view but a full strength Galway are a match for anyone on their day.

Replying To MonaghanMan44life: "Never have I ever seen a worse 35mins in a Monaghan jersey.
Unlike the Vinny/clontiberet supporters in the group who like to make excuses, I put the full blame in Vinny's lap. The tactical set up or lack there of is unbelievable at this level. He simple does not know how to set a team up other than his normal effort of putting square pegs in circle holes. Somebody tell me I didn't see Karl O'C in for the throw in at start of second half?!
The injury issues which Vinny loves to pedal as an excuse is ridiculous, it's his and his back room teams fault for the injuries! The talk coming out of the camp regarding training etc is disgraceful and player welfare is non existent.
Vinny got lucky last year with the draw, we just about beat a terrible Kildare team (look where they are now) and made a semi final by default. If Banty etc was at the helm he'd have the big mouths at his front door Monday morning after that rubbish today.
Get that bluffer Vinny & his brother out of Monaghan." Excellent post… you forgot to add the northern sound birgrade in the excuses fan club…. player welfare is non existent which I heard all about last year… the standard of club football in Monaghan accross all 3 divisions is as poor as I can remember in the last 20 years which is feeding into our county team which isn't vinnys fault… regarding Darren yes he's a loss but come on he's 37 years old…as for a few of his club team mates there nowhere near inter county standard…

Replying To Galway9801: "You misunderstood the context when I talked about showing loyalty.
The Eminem analogy is pretty spurious too tbh. Individual rappers and sporting institutions are two completely separate entities and are perceived as such.
Also, regarding your last sentence, everyone on earth, literally every last person, including yourself, has opinions on things that are none of their business." The fact that they're 'separate entities' hardly means that you shouldn't be a fan of one or other, or both, or indeed neither. Especially when you're observing that every last person on the planet can have an opinion. They'll possibly have their own mind and passions too.

Replying To tireoghainabu: "Mabey if Antrim people and residents of Ireland's second city were more engaged with their native games than the "premier league" circus you might have something to shout about." Native 'games'? Maybe if Tyrone and other Ulster counties were as 'engaged' with the small ball game our hurlers wouldn't have to go to Leinster to progress their aims.

A wins a win but I'd say management be far from happy with the performance this afternoon in Carlow.
Given that Carlow probably in the bottom 4 teams in country and were still in game until final kick surely be of concern.
Credit to Carlow on their facility and its very well kept with shop/toilets etc.
A well worked goal by Conor McShea after good movement from Sean Cassidy ensured Fermanagh had a 1 point lead at half time.
In this half we had some very poor shooting left us with 8 wides,some from straight in front of posts , most other teams would have punished us for this.
Both teams flooded bodies behind the ball, Fermanagh slow play helped Carlow get defensively setup.
Hopefully Callum Jones okay after know to the head, was surprised medical staff allowed him stay on after it before he had to come off.
Che Cullen had a good game, Largo Ellis kicked 2 great scores second half while Johnny Cassidy did well and injected pace to break lines at .
Conor Love showed his scoring threat again when introduced while the biggest positive out of today was Darragh McGurn getting on and contributing score and great catch at key time, both of these players need to be on the pitch if Fermanagh want to progress into latter stages of this competition as tougher tests await.
Week break is no harm before Laois game, lots to work on ahead of it.

Replying To Gilberto_Eire: "Who would have thought that playing the same players, and having no game plan or proper coaching would lead to another poor performance?... Ground breaking relevation that.
Can't understand this logic in the GAA to never sack a manager mid season, he should have been sent packing after the last game.
I'll give you a free tip if you're reading Henry.
If you don't even have the ball winners to make a long puck out a 50/50(which isn't even a smart play IMO), you probably shouldn't be pucking the ball long.
Maybe work on some sort of system that tries to negate that disadvantage we have.
When Conor Cooney is your best "ball winner" from puck outs you're in a bit of bother." Maybe you, and other Galway supporters, need to shed your delusions of grandeur. Galway have won a total of 5 hurling All-Irelands. Only one AI win in the last 35 years. Galway people on here were continuously moaning and whining about the previous managers to Shefflin.
Nobody can make a silk purse out of a sows ear.

Congrats PJ and the Team on a great and very important win. Even when it was nip and tuck on the scoreboard I thought Galway controlling the game. I thought the red card incident was very bad and a deliberate attempt to injure a key player, that may well rule Comer out of another season. Derry are a super team and have great supporters but this element is an unwelcome recent addition to their game.

Important win to secure Joe Mcdonagh status.
David O'Reilly is an outstanding forward, 0-06 from play and created the goal.

We are entering a very critical phase in monaghan football. It will either slide or we will perhaps rebuild to our advantage. It's been a disastrous 7 months let's be honest. We look unfit, not sharp, players completely out of form and a sliding club scene. Players leaving the panel not a good look either. Last year perhaps papered over the cracks but we have been found out today and all year. The body language didn't good today and I fear for us in this group.

Pat Spillane used to say Mayo didn't have any 'markee' forwards, and that's why they couldn't win the big one.
