Do you think Tyrone supporters would be saying its awful news about McManus,the news about Clarke is great from a Monaghan perspective.

What a sad, nasty little post.

I suppose when you choose to call yourself "ihatecavan" I shouldn't be surprised.

It's never nice to hear of a young lad potentially missing all or a good bit of the championship due to injury. There's a big difference between being happy your opponents are not at full strength for a game, and being happy at the news of a bad injury.

As Muck stated above what a sad nasty comment,

Yes we may be up against them but it's not great to see it happening, hopefully it's not as serious as they think and a quick return

Don't like those sort of comments . Pathetic really when you consider the suffering he must be going through. I'm sure all true Monaghan supporters would distance themselves from such spiteful childish and sad remarks.

Yes it's an advantage for Monaghan to be playing a weakened side, no doubt about it. But we need to remember that whatever your colour we are all Gaels here and it's awful to see a player lose out with an injury like that. Every county seems to be suffering these kind of injuries and it's something the GAA needs to research in terms of cruciate injury prevention.

I wish him all the best with his recovery. Hopefully he will be back playing as soon as possible.

Muckross Head is a coastal beauty spot in my native Kilcar in south west Donegal.
Nothing I like better than an early morning walk out there, all the old troubles melt away & memories of wallopings from big Monaghan men melt away!!

Just read about Clark this morning, that is tough on the man. Hope he makes a speedy recovery.

To be honest Muckross, I was over the moon when Bradley did his cruciate in 2011 and meant he would miss the final. Not ashamed to admit it either. That boosted Donegal's chances of winning Ulster in a big way.

I think all true Monaghan & Ulster Gaels would wish to disassociate themselves from any comment or notion that Conor Clarkes injury is "great" news.
As someone who has suffered a cruciate injury in club football, I know how long and difficult an injury it is to recover from.
Personally I would always prefer to see the best 15 v the best 15 in any match…and let the best team win….In that way there can be no excuses that such an such a player was missing, etc.
Hope Clarke makes a swift and full recovery.

It is only the view of one poster on this. Everyone else has dissacoitated themselves from these comments and I the same so do not paint the whole county with the same brush. Let the game be a fair game and the best team win and a speedy recovery to the man

Couldn't have said it better.
It's a shame that both teams are missing big name players for this game but it happens and they need to move on and prepare without them. Hope both lads have a speedy recovery.
All these knee injuries they are definitely happening more often. I put it down to the increase in training hours, faster players and players being more top heavy then in years past. I'm no doctor tho! Anyone with a bit of knowledge have an idea of why it is becoming more frequent? Or am I just getting old and the rose tinted glass of years past are setting in!?

It's devastating for both players who were at the top of their game in recent times. All fair-minded people wish them well because it's a very hard road ahead of them.

That name sounds like a wind-up but a bit nasty. Every county has a few of them but they're best ignored and fair play to other Monaghan posters for their fair and balanced comments

So mchugh11, you take an isolated comment from one poster, which everyone else disagreed with, and used that to have yet another petty dig at Monaghan, you're a peculiar fellow. Give it a rest yeah.

patk (Monaghan) - Posts: 948 - 02/06/2014 19:52:41    1597003

I just feel that most donegal posters here have a big interest in mon v Tyrone because if it's monaghan they know they have a slimmer chance to win ulster than if it was Tyrone so fingers crossed on donegal supporters behalf Tyrone do them a favour and beat your scurge that is monaghan
