Watched Louth match back for my sins. Few things. Mooney did well enough or as good as he could given the circumstances being thrown in like that. He definitely wasnt the winning and losing of the game overall. Gallaghers loss was bigger for Monaghan arguably as it robbed mccarville of his wingman on kickouts. The match was lost in the first half and monaghans inability to take advantage of the red card it kept louth in it and they grew from it the two pointer to end the half a huge moment. I dont think any of the other teams left in the championship would have shown louth as much mercy as we did in that period. We actually played well in the second half bar the last few minutes when the team faded in face of louth surge. Ciaran Byrne was a massive sub for them. There was also a crucial period after the goal when we didnt push on some bad wides which might have seen enough but louth timed their finishing kick well. Devlin played his cards better but it was that first half lack of response to red card which killed us in this one. Louth outscored us in that period 12 pts to 1-03. That was the winning and losing. seanie08 (Monaghan) - Posts: 2023 - 05/07/2026 21:54:41 2684401 Link
Big win for Truagh at the weekend. It does go under the radar how poor they have been the last few years. Believe they wanted the manager gone again a few weeks ago but seem to have it sorted. Is Mohan back playing? farneygael3 (Monaghan) - Posts: 745 - 06/07/2026 12:02:36 2684472 Link

Could be their saving grace they are facing a Corduff side who couldn't pull a team together at the weekend. Monaghanmad123 (Monaghan) - Posts: 9 - 06/07/2026 14:18:45 2684498 Link

Replying To Matchwatcher: "Corduff to lose senior playoffs overall Eire Og lose Intermediate overall Quarter final winners: Latton Inniskeen Emyvale Aughnamullen Aghabog Currin Thoughts??" Only one I would argue with is Corduff going down, if they get Mc Gee back in and a few more body's back they will definitely survive against cremartin. Shut down mooney and cremartin don't have much else Farneyarmy2013 (Monaghan) - Posts: 12 - 06/07/2026 15:32:01 2684515 Link

Big miss for Clontibret especially with their mounting injury list. He will soon be able to tog for New York seniors in the tall tin cup Monaghanmad123 (Monaghan) - Posts: 9 - 06/07/2026 16:11:15 2684528 Link

Replying To McGuirk1985@: "Great to see corduff struggling long may it last" They need a few new reinforcements, especially on the right wing. BrehonBlonde (Monaghan) - Posts: 156 - 07/07/2026 13:39:43 2684697 Link
Replying To BrehonBlonde: "They need a few new reinforcements, especially on the right wing." Gallagher experiment seems to have ran its course. Only togging 17/18 men out for league games is never a great sign Monaghanmad123 (Monaghan) - Posts: 9 - 07/07/2026 15:35:16 2684717 Link
Replying To Monaghanmad123: "Gallagher experiment seems to have ran its course. Only togging 17/18 men out for league games is never a great sign" Gallagher needs his teams to have complete buy in, with a huge amount of energy, which usually requires youth. But instead they have a lad in his late 30's in the middle of the field who wasn't making the team 4 or 5 years ago when they were playing Intermediate Championship.

Opinions on Championship Groups? Seen Truagh entering a junior team into the JFC has caused controversy from a few killeevan men, in my opinion they should be thankful that truagh are in their group or they'd be fighting for 4th place…. I'd be more annoyed if I was in Group A due to 2 teams going out in that group. Drumhowan to do the double regardless with Currin/Aghabog + Toome being promoted In intermediate both groups are very well matched, Aughnamullen be hoping to win it with Micheal Bannigan back in their disposal although Killanny, Donaghmoyne and Harps will have something to say about that, however Donaghmoyne and killanny have shown cracks in league losing to Eire Og and Tyholland. Clones would want to be careful after being near top at start of league and losing around 6 starters due to J1s and traveling and now being in a relegation playoff, could see them this weekend. Could see a shock happening this weekend if they're not careful, same with Tyholland/Doohamlet. Still unsure with Ballybay as they are yet to play with Dessie Ward but still have the Mcguinesses and the likes of Colm Lennon and Ryan Wylie pushing them on. In senior Scotstown to win championship and for Corduff to go down, disgrace of club who should be ashamed with how they've acted over the last couple of years. I feel Cremartin will just hold on as they are more of a team compared to Corduff. Blayney is a team to watch however as they are young and have very good footballers. Latton have the capability to take down teams if Aaron mulligan is there. Mcgorman hopefully will continue to show his fine form and bring it into this championship as he's a joy to watch. Charlie Mone of clontibert is the player to watch in this championship, unfortunately dropped out of the 20s this year to focus on exams but would been a massive asset for them. Hopefully shines for them next year. Predictions for POTY: Junior: Tom Doherty (although he's on J1 right now) Intermediate: Bannigan Senior: McCarthy Farneyman2 (Monaghan) - Posts: 3 - 08/07/2026 15:48:35 2684845 Link
