Seen on twitter this morning a journalist say it does carry over from league to championship so we should be trying to get the one yesterday rescinded by appealing it. seanie08 (Monaghan) - Posts: 1513 - 16/06/2014 17:38:18 1604650 Link 0 |
A great win yesterday. Kelly was outstanding in an outstanding defence and Dick Clerkin was back to his old self after an in/out season last year. I felt a bit sorry for McGuinness. I think if he'd popped the pass from Hughes over the bar instead of going for goal he'd have settled into the game better. Was Duffy's substitution tactical or an injury? He looked a little bit rusty at the start, as did a couple of others before they got going. Overall though I think that all the players can be proud of their efforts. rcarragh (Dublin) - Posts: 299 - 16/06/2014 19:41:26 1604731 Link 0 |
Back abroad now having witnessed what can only be described as an ojus result in Clones yesterday. Here's how I see things: Knoxboyo (Monaghan) - Posts: 170 - 16/06/2014 21:03:43 1604785 Link 0 |
Great to win against the Red Hands, not having played to our potential. Dick Clerkin was back to the form he showed in Division 1 a few years ago, which is a surprise boost. If Lennon comes back and Doogan is in there too we suddenly seem to have quality options in midfield. MiseMuineachain (Monaghan) - Posts: 212 - 16/06/2014 21:42:34 1604801 Link 0 |
Well played Monaghan on a fully deserved victory, application of the game plan was exceptional (albeit psychologically you nearly blew it). Still the monkey is gone regarding Tyrone and these things are only overcome on the pitch. If you played Armagh 10 times this year I believe you will beat them 9 times. There is always the chance that a result will not go any teams way on any given day. Bad and all that Cavan were (and they were poor) against Armagh, Armagh are no great shakes at all, I have no doubt that the Monaghan players experience within their ranks will not allow themselves to be sucked into the gamesmanship and cynicism of the Armagh players and sideline. I expect Monaghan to win by 5 - 6 points if you concentrate on playing your own game. That will beat Armagh all day long. Armagh need to worry about disrupting and stopping Monaghan rather than the other way about. offtheditch (Cavan) - Posts: 134 - 17/06/2014 09:21:24 1604829 Link 0 |
Finty, Drew and Dick are rightly getting huge praise for their performances and I thought Kelly just about shaded MOM. But a special word for Vinny who was magnificent. It feels like he's been around for ever and to able to produce that level of performance at that pace in that heat for 70 mins is a testament to his dedication and fitness levels. bluemoon (Monaghan) - Posts: 103 - 17/06/2014 11:12:20 1604903 Link 0 |
Yeah Vinny was excellent, you almost expect that kind of performance from him now such is his consistency but he definitely deserves all the praise he gets. Always a man for the big occasion, he didn't give Murphy a lick in the Ulster final last year and kept Cavanagh under wraps on Sunday until he was moved away out to midfield. patk (Monaghan) - Posts: 875 - 17/06/2014 12:59:37 1604994 Link 0 |

Great win yesterday. Truthfully you should have won by a bigger margin, but a wins a win. Would be great to see a fully fit McManus in full flight. Even half fit he was the difference between the teams. Best of luck in the semi. neverafree (Down) - Posts: 456 - 17/06/2014 15:44:32 1605131 Link 0 |

Tommy is not back, I seen him at the game on Sunday with his wife and child. MuineachanAbu (Monaghan) - Posts: 624 - 17/06/2014 17:02:05 1605200 Link 0 |
Well to be fair hardcore has usually been spot on with these things in the past. supermon (Monaghan) - Posts: 1071 - 17/06/2014 17:11:42 1605204 Link 0 |
Just because he was at the game doesn't mean he isn't coming back into the squad but I would be very surprised to see him back. He would have come back a lot earlier. seanie08 (Monaghan) - Posts: 1513 - 17/06/2014 17:29:37 1605217 Link 0 |
Yes Tommy is back, has been training with the squad for last week or 2, didn't want to be on the panel for the Tyrone match as he felt he hadn't done enough training to justify been put on ahead of some of the others that have been there all year, but will be in for the Armagh match if he proves that he's still sharp enough in training.

Its great news, just reading Darragh O'Se column in Irish Times and he was talking about how Stephen O'Neill came back in just before the all ireland in 08 it gave the Kerry management an awful headache because they now had to deal with him. Turns out that he wasn't nearly match fit, but even giving the opposition something extra to worry about and think about or to double mark, was enough of an influence. supermon (Monaghan) - Posts: 1071 - 18/06/2014 13:32:27 1605523 Link 0 |
