Replying To patk:  "Gotta love the positivity as we win with a bit to spare and are into the quarter finals!

I mean Christ, lighten up a bit. We were a bit sloppy at times but at worst we were only level or maybe briefly down a point. And when we kicked it up a gear, we scored freely and built up a comfortable enough lead. Obviously we need to improve (as we should strive to do every game tbh), but this is an exciting stage to still be in the championship so it seems weird to be so morose"
I posted above WM would be heading for home with 15 to go. Listen to the lads who know ball and ignore the trolls. We will beat a Louth Cork or Tyrone. Galway will be difficult I feel. Really looking forward to next weekend

Replying To greysoil:  "Jeepers Monaghan were very poor today vs Westmeath. I know a win is a win but we won't get any further. Need mccaul back and see where we will go in the next few years"
McCarville and Lavelle both excellent but O'Hanlon was without doubt the best player on the pitch and absolutely ran the show. Caused havoc every time he got the ball and jack got 1-1 handed to him at least.

Backs are still a huge issue - O'Toole and Ward more interested in flying forward than minding the house which is great when they get on the end of stuff but leaves us wid open at the back.

Onwards and upwards!

We were poor in the first half today but seriously upped it in the second half. Looked like they got a rolliicking at half time as intensity levels were off in that first half almost like the players were living off the comfort blanket of the two pointers. When we didnt have against the wind intensiity levels were a lot better and we played far better football. Once we got a grip around the middle only ever going to be one winner. Lavelle mccarville and o hanlon were outstanding in that second half. Mccarron ward Mccarthy mooney v good also. I hope Gallagher and beggan are fine for next week. Doesn't really matter who we get all v tough games but we are there on merit. Been some year. Completely written off after the league but back in the last 8 again consistently showing to be a top 8 side.
