Very hard to articulate all of last week from rumours to reality.
Still cant wrap my head around the gk situation. pre game they where practicing hitting the wings (didnt look great). This inability completely narrowed the pitch and worked in favour of louth. Nothing against mooney, nerves would of been huge, maybe management seen enough against westmeath to fear mulligan would float his kickouts. dont know. where was Jack kiernan?
Can/Cant understand the mc anespie decision. There for legs, even though not played any full games all year
Felt all the subs where too late and mind boggling, exact same against donegal. still cant believe mc phillips wasnt brought on to field a couple of kickouts to give us oxygen last year.
Looking to next year:
1)Louis kelly, Gary Mohan, Gavin Mc Phillips, Matthew Carolan, Karl Gallagher, Bobby Mc Caul, mc nulty, mick hamill. bury the hatchet/blood/get fit absolutely non negotiables. 2) Management team shake up. Be it the manager or his team, it needs something. Mc Ginley,Mc Conville, Sherlock. Winners out there with real credentials. A dream ticket with mc cauge. 3)Credit to the current management team of blooding players, needs to continue. 4) S&C dont need to say anymore than that. 5) Never going to happen but would love to see aaron McCarey/mcdonnell working with beggan for the gk spot. No need for beggan until championship if you had either of those lads
I can only speak for myself, im gutted because i know we are close, very close.
I posted during the league Kieran Hughes should be approached to come back in. Hes no Michael Murphy, but younger, so i dont buy "hes passed intercounty" and here i am reading comments saying we had no ball winners in one of the biggest games in monaghan footballs history.
Possible midfield line up if let play 8 b mcbennett 9 m mc Carville 10 k Gallagher 11 a woods 12 g mohan Sub midfielders Color Leonard G mchillips Matthew carolan All good lads if given same time as m mccarville to develop but no we insist on 5 ft 7 lads 8 lads there and we had 2 on Sunday
Replying To farneygael3: "Should Malone be taking over next year? He's done ok on the club front with blaney the last 2 seasons. You look at Westmeath and McHugh"
Like your comment on Louth being in Croke Park by luck, I hope this one is also a joke?
