    Ref only the minimum of the issues. No intensity, pace, awareness, game plan

    Signs were there last week

    Kick the ****ing all. This ****e of hand passing the ball around while Down are getting back into a defensive shape is pure bollocks

    Did some of these lads just wake up from a nap at 13.28??? I include the management in that. Half our lads don't look like they are fit to walk. They can't get near the Down forwards.

    Even the fatigue thing. Mayo are playing for 5th week too, and In control against Galway

    There's a few of our lads that are not moving at their usual pace,Faulkner, Ciaran Brady,Gerard Smith, all quality players and usually very mobile,whether it's fatigue or injuries, I don't know.

    What's even more sickening is Paddy Tally apparently went for the Cavan job and didn't get it

    Not the only thing but still that goal knocked the stuffing out of us- and then we are denied a clear goal chance that would have brought us right back.

    That said we look leggy and our lack of scoring forwards is no major surprise. We’ve kicked some shocking wides.

    Our shot selection has been terrible,
    No legs , I hope we don't ship a heavy score in the 2nd half

    Caolan Mooney is killing us, he's running riot, doesn't seem to be any plan to deal with him.

    Surely there had to be a plan. It’s not like he’s a total unknown

    Killian Brady was marking him for some of that half, Terrible match up ,Gunner wouldn't have the speed for him, he was trailing him a few times by 5 metres,when Mooney took off.

    He's been great, almost got a goal there. Down are there for the taking now.

    Jaysus that's some second half performance. We need to do this for 70 minutes.

    Whard a turnaround, fair play. Madden was excellent . Down probaly not that aware of him, didn't feature in last few games through injury. Galligan, McKiernan with the big performances in second half

    That team does us proud. Every game, even the Armagh game, we’ve never given up. That’s all you can ask for.

    They make us proud. They’ve given us such joy in the last few weeks.

    That was incredible. They just looked like they knew they were going to win it with about 20 minutes left. Massive levels of hunger and honesty of effort there in the second half. Galligan and Gearoid and Faulkner were incredible.

    Anybody want to rethink the benefits of losing narrowly to Down there?? :P

    Well at half time I would have welcomed the narrow loss! Look, we have a shot to nothing now and those lads deserve it. Would be great to give a decent account of ourselves next week.

    Very harsh on Cormac O’Reilly not to get on when ya see how poor Stephen Smith was.

    Two Ulster finals in a row for the first time since the 60s! And no tier 2 next year!

    Agree those three really stood up. Fair play to Madden too and others. The clip they showed after the game of the lads hunting in packs was fantastic.
