Replying To ORIELMAN85:  "What tactics?"
Shout and Roar like a bunch of mad men on the line until something happens

Well done Andy Moran. It's time for GB & AMcE to move on

With the pre season comps over next weekend I'd fear for Blaney when the football starts

Replying To Monaghanmad123:  "Drumhowan will be happy to get the scare so early in the year. The minds will be focused now and they will beat toome next weekend with 5/6 to spare and go on to do a double as well with Doherty back home. Very young team who will fancy themselves in intermediate in the next few years."
Was a bit more than a scare. Penalty shoot out!
Plus, Currin drew with them already this year.Drumhowan are definitely favourites for Junior with Tom to come back but Currin were missing 3 or 4 players last night apparently. I would definitely not rule them out for the Championship. Seem to have a good set up on the line this year. Currin v Drumhowan Junior Final?

There's a reason why drumhowan have won a number of junior championships in the last 20 years…

No doubt monaghan are thinking, we were close to them in Clones, what if! Well done Mayo and Andy Moran. We need to change our mentality when it comes to June July in Croke Park. Maybe one day it will be Monaghan.

Huge congrats to Andy Moran and everyone in Mayo. He was a huge loss to us leaving after a year, but I think it's fair to say he made the right decision for himself and Mayo! And tbh I think it was evident the drop off in our tactical nous on the line this season.

I genuinely think we have a right good group of players there now (especially if a couple lads could be enticed back, and everyone fit), and there's opportunity to do something in the next few years with the injection of youth and the likes of Beggan still so influential - but we need the right men on the line, and I think we need a change there honestly

Right men on the line needed and stop losing players monaghan need to forget about div1 winter league football concentrate on building a physical team that can compete in June july philly mcmahon enda mcginley or the likes needed on the sideline and develop the bigger lads Michael mccarvillw x 3 or 4 and see where it takes us ,we are lost in croker for the want of fielders and scrappers that's where its at we have the forwards serious mindset change needed in cloghan physicality and strength and height needed
