Beware of Longford! They have a great early rounds record in the qualifiers, as well as beating us in Clones in '04, they have beaten, Down, Derry x 2, Cavan, Mayo, Offaly, Clare . . . . . all in the last 10 yrs aprox. They also lost to Kerry in Killarney by a last minute goal, & also lost narrowly away to Tyrone! Still...... I fully expect us to win, as I expect our lads to be still focused, compared to some previous early qualifiers, Tullamore 4 years ago springs to mind!

Be afraid. Be very afraid. keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 07/07/2016 18:32:15 1878089 Link
See this been a very one sided affair. We will be trying to get back on track and have a very strong and experienced team. border Gael (Monaghan) - Posts: 894 - 08/07/2016 20:55:37 1878675 Link

Should have had more faith in yer lads, ye ended up giving them a really good game! Well done to Longford, another excellent win for them and hopefully they start getting the credit they deserve. I'd imagine an evening like this evening would be cherished more by them than any silverware they might win in a B competition. Soma (UK) - Posts: 2630 - 09/07/2016 20:12:05 1879318 Link
Brilliant Longford, disaster for Monaghan, Leinster football is alive and kicking :) realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8605 - 09/07/2016 20:14:04 1879323 Link
Hands up. I got this totally wrong. We have been very poor this year in the league and it has followed a repeat into the championship. So far this year the teams who have been good in the league have followed through in the championship. Best wishes to Longford. border Gael (Monaghan) - Posts: 894 - 09/07/2016 20:15:03 1879324 Link

Ye, I warned, I warned.... but well done to Longford. Couldn't make the game.. but listened "live " to Nth Sound on Net. From my calculations from the commentary ( counting clear goal chances), Monaghan had 2- 12 in wides, Longford had 0-3 !... amazing...... Gutted ...... but with stats like that, Longford deserve to win! Monaghan Exile (Monaghan) - Posts: 442 - 09/07/2016 20:18:14 1879328 Link
Fair play to our neighbours. By all accounts the ref seemed to give a few decisions to the home team. The Monaghan goal shouldn't of stood for a pick off the ground. But it didn't matter in the end. What a record they have in the qualifiers. Not only do I hope we win tomorrow to win a championship but I want to win more now just to avoid Longford in the next round!!

Very well done to Longford, delighted to see the underdogs get a result like that. Htaem (Meath) - Posts: 8657 - 09/07/2016 20:23:59 1879337 Link
First of all fair play Longford and hard luck Monaghan but all this talk of getting the credit they deserve etc. shite. last big shock was against derry followed by a 17 point loss to tipp. This is a team with 2 less league titles than New York. I only give credit when it is due. One match doesn't say much. we will see how they do next day out. DoireCityFC (Derry) - Posts: 1580 - 09/07/2016 20:24:04 1879338 Link

Love to see them get to at LEAST 1/4 finals in CP......... but, who was saying Mon goal should'nt stand, our commentators ( including Longford man) did'nt even mention that it should be dis-allowed!
