Anyone make the Clon vs Scot game yesterday by any chance? Just seeing the score line, holy god….. Doesn't bode well for this year's competitions when last years 2 Co finalists have such a gulf. MonaghanMan44life (Monaghan) - Posts: 43 - 27/04/2025 10:59:36 2604565 Link
Good luck to the under 20s tonight in the Ulster final. farneygael3 (Monaghan) - Posts: 193 - 28/04/2025 11:12:30 2604922 Link

Surely satire when half the squad aren't bothered to show up for a tier 2 competition. eirekeeper (Monaghan) - Posts: 121 - 28/04/2025 23:08:34 2605184 Link
Well done to our Under 20s on their victory in the Leo Murphy Cup Final this evening. Also we'll done to Paul and the rest of his management team. Every inter county game these lads get, bring them closer to becoming the Senior stars of the future. Some very exciting prospects on view this evening. Looking forward to 2 more games before the season ends. As I have said a number of times in the past 2 years, the future is bright for Monaghan football.

Replying To eirekeeper: "Did you post this at half time? Surely satire when half the squad aren't bothered to show up for a tier 2 competition." Isn't that how you got an Ulster medal. Not that you were showing much of that form on Saturday evening. I think the county had you in the right position. ORIELMAN85 (Monaghan) - Posts: 482 - 29/04/2025 01:12:45 2605201 Link

Replying To ORIELMAN85: "You are embarrassing yourself." Winning an ulster competition is no mean feat at any level, I hope the Tuesday club is in full swing today because these lads deserve it….. mick2007 (Monaghan) - Posts: 570 - 29/04/2025 10:01:34 2605257 Link

Mistaken identity pal? My opinion doesn't invalidate your opinion. Opinions are like **holes, everyone has one. We don't have to agree with others. But, disappointing to see players abandon their fellow teammates because they drop down to the 2nd tier competition. eirekeeper (Monaghan)** - Posts: 121 - 29/04/2025 15:06:45 2605410 Link

All Ireland semi final to look forward to for the u20s now. A sweet victory last night when all wanted to look down their nose. MONAGHAN ABU. Best of luck to the young men bring home the trophy and your medals!! farneygael3 (Monaghan) - Posts: 193 - 29/04/2025 15:41:34 2605423 Link
Replying To SouthMonMan: "Might be a bit early to start figuring out how the draw for group stages go, but here are my predictions of 4 pots, based on provincial finals and league positions. Hardest to call is Donegal/Tyrone/Armagh to win ulster (I'll go with Donegal) and maybe Louth/Kildare as Leinster finalists. We'll know a lot more next Sunday evening. Pot 1 - Provincial winners. Kerry Donegal Galway Dublin Pot 2 - Provincial finalists. Mayo Tyrone/Armagh Clare Louth/Kildare League top 4 Tyrone/Armagh Monaghan Roscommon Derry League Bottom 4 Meath Cavan Cork Down If we ended up in a group with Clare, Louth( or Kildare) as beaten finalists and one of the league bottom 4, we should be aiming for at least 2nd spot in our group." Well its the best Monaghan could have hoped for in todays draw. Monaghan Louth/Meath Clare (if not a big shock) Down I fancy Louth to beat Meath so Louth, Clare and Down. If there was ever an opperunity for Monaghan to go direct to a quarter final, this is it..! now, don't ** it up! Only problem is Monaghan do not carry the favourites tag very well but they have to be confident of beating these three teams. SouthMonMan (Monaghan)** - Posts: 155 - 30/04/2025 14:11:54 2605688 Link
So it's a group with: Leinster winner Munster runner up Down Ourselves. Obvs take nothing for granted but that could have been a lot worse (i.e. look across the ditch) Knoxboya (Monaghan) - Posts: 369 - 30/04/2025 14:26:20 2605700 Link
You'd have to be very happy with that draw. Don't think it's being disrespectful to say that, that's objectively the best 1st and 2nd team that every pot 3/4 team could have been drawn against. Big chance to get to a quarter final now patk (Monaghan) - Posts: 938 - 30/04/2025 15:39:25 2605749 Link
Jam bags. Ye got the best possible draw and you have one foot already in Croke Park come quarter finals. Louth away, Clare at home and Down neutral means the petrol won't be hard hit either. Topping group gives ya huge advantage too with other teams needing to play 3 weeks on the spin. shaggykev (Donegal) - Posts: 316 - 30/04/2025 16:11:19 2605770 Link
Best possible group for Monaghan Leinster champion the weakest of the 1st seeds Clare is the weakest of the 2nd seeds Down the weakest of the 4th seeds Did Monaghan management go to knock before the draw? Gaa_lover (USA) - Posts: 3594 - 30/04/2025 17:00:34 2605792 Link

We run on diesel in these parts. But agreed, its a fairly severe dose for Donegal if they win Ulster now. Cavan can always give you trouble, Tyrone are Tyrone and Mayo- sure who even knows anymore?
