Christ that jersey is an ugly one. Looks simple enough and not much of a change but whatever small details they did change they made it worse.

Also would it be that egregious to ask the sponsors could we turn their logos blue for the sake of the jersey?

Replying To veterngaa:  "The issue too is that when David McCague asked JMcQ after the game had he inspected it before the game he said he hadn't. Then you have Michael Geoghegan preaching after the game how experienced he is … but not that experienced how to assess the pitch before.

If it was a dry day I think Scotstown would wipe them easily. Scotstown went man to man on defence and Newbridge had the wind first half. Expect a 5/6 point victory next weekend"
If TG4 hadn't been covering the game live. Joe Wouldn't have felt obliged to try and get the game played.

Replying To BarneytheDino:  "Just in for a Emyvale man that Eoin and Benny Lennon are parting way from Emyvale and this was announced after the game at food….. who will be next in line there?
Possibly Brendan askin who was along side the 2 lennons?
What is everyone thoughts"
Only Scotstown still playing football. Manager rumours starting to swirl now!
I'd imagine Eoin is happy enough to get Emyvale back into Intermediate and move on. I'd say McCague's time is up unless Scotstown get Ulster.Such is their dominance in Monaghan anything less is another failure. Andy Callan will probably stay with Carrick. He did well to get them a championship. McEnaney will still be over Corduff whether in name or not.
Can Mousie combine Blayney and u20s?
Aughnamullen must be an attractive proposition for someone if Mickey Conlon goes.
Gary Calvert taking Rockcorry, Tony Graham back with Oram, Matthew Lambe with Drumhowan and Donal Quigley back with Currin in Junior. Anyone heard any other gossip?

I highly doubt matthew Lambe would be going for a junior post after winning gaining promotion with a middle of the road intermediate team, who are still senior on the back of himself and Darren bishops excellent work. After being with development squads also and having his name in the hat for the minor job that would be a serious regression. I suppose we will wait and see. Martin mills to Ballybay the talk is.

Magheracloone one seems a bit strange after winning the league and getting to a championship semi first year up from intermediate you'd imagine there seems to be a squad to build upon.

your about 12 month late with the information on Bishop and Lambe, they stood down after the 2024 season ended.
Frank Fitzsimon from antrim was over the shamrocks this year.

Matthew Lambe not taking Drumhowan,I was misinformed. There's lads from Cavan coming in there apparently. Gary Calvert not taking Rockcorry, they have boys from Cootehill.

Roberto Di Matteo has won the champions league a few years ago and after been out of management the best job he could get is a Japanese club team so winning doesn't make you a good coach, A top coach wouldn't want to coach monaghan as due to the population our ceiling is only so hight so need to get good coaches before they are great.

We'd have been praying for one of Cavan, Antrim or Fermanagh. Don't fear Derry then. Excellent draw
