Seeing as there isn't a dedicated Monaghan thread and riding high on our 16th ulster title i thought now is as good a a time as any to start one ..
Feel feel to post re the county team or clubs / club competitions in monaghan .
I think we are better prepared and wiser and should make waves in the latter stages this year , but sire om an optimist

Any thoughts on tomorrows game ? Are down as bad as is said or is there a sting in the tail ?

Monaghan should be winning this but will be a typically tight Ulster match. Close enough until 50 mins, then Monaghan pull away to win by 4-6 points. Bookies have it at 4 points, shouldn't be far away.

Good call apart from the final scoreline.
Down should have been 4 or 5 up at halftime but for poor shooting .
Hard to know where monaghan stand after the complete Down collapse in the 2nd half.

Bit of a shocker this evening. Was at the 2 Donegal matches and the performance after the 1st was poor. Lucky to get out off it with a replay. Replay, again lucky to be trailing by 2 at halftime, hard to watch the rest off the match. Giving away the ball, letting them run straight up the field etc.
Was away for tonight's game but was following on Twitter. Down by 5 at a stage, then up by 3 at ht. What the hell happened?

I only caught the 2nd half on northern sound radio.
Monaghan had wide after wide it seems . Whether that was the breeze or just fatigue after 3 games in 3 weekends causing poor decisions i dont know.
. A couple of longford players ( i forget their names ) seemed to have stand out games . Anyway season is over till the league , and at least we wont lose to tyrone in CP this year !

Today we lose one off our true greats. I had the pleasure of playing some school ball with him in Largy and some great duels at club level. I hope your retirement from County brings you half as many day happiness as you have brought to the inhabitants of our small county in your 17 years service. A true gent Dick Clerkin

Good win today v Kerry
Should make up for the Cavan game

Jayop

Wins in castlebar and Kerry make that Cavan result hard to fathom. Playing some stuff.

fine win , didnt see it yet but that is two very impressive wins away from home , beware though didnt the rossies do the same last year and have not been the same since :eek: , i expect monaghan to be more grounded in there approach to the championship though

There's a lot more to this Monaghan team I think. The biggest plus as was highlighted in the show this evening was the scores being shared around. Now I know himself was instrumental in the goals but nice for them to have different names on the score sheet. Makes Monaghan a much tougher team to defend against.

cj maxx

Delighted with the point v Donegal as I had thought we had lost by 3 till I saw the highlights show.
I couldn't make out how good / bad either team was as it was a very very short coverage ,
Sets up a chance to make a league final next game . In clones , albeit against Dublin. ðŸ˜³

Very very enjoyable game in Clones today . Thought we had it going 6 up but ....
Also think Dublin should have went down a man to a straight red but I'll wait to the highlights to see if it was a clothesline challenge.
Good game with mistakes from BOTH sides playing not to their full

It was a great game, best I've seen in a long time. If Monaghan start playing to their potential from the AI Quarter Finals onwards they'll be a dangerous team for anyone to play. If the Connolly black card is the one you think was a red card then I'd say you're wrong, it was barely a yellow imo. Hit him at chest height.

Think that's the one I meant ok . I thought it was neck high at the time but I'm sure the highlights will prove one way or another. Great game for both supporters, gave Monaghan fans something to cheer and Dublin the satisfaction of over coming a scare.

Lads, any of ye see Rory Beggan's point from play in the League this weekend?

Don't know whether it is class from Beggan or woeful from Clontibret! A bit of both perhaps.

One of the maddest things I've seen at Senior level in a long time.

A man of many talents.

Have they found Pauric yet????

Darren Hughes has been ruled out of the championship due to a knee injury. Huge loss for monaghan, he's a serious footballer.

A huge loss . Great footballer and very versatile.

Missed the game yesterday , but seems a second half bite knocked the wind out of Fermanagh. Handy enough win in the end .

Yeah Fermanagh were marginally the better team in the first half but once your forwards decided to play you rolled them over handy enough. Could have won by more but you eased up in the last ten minutes. Some fantastic scores.

Anyone heading to Wexford. ?
I'm expecting the win but not sure how good Wexford are , plus the Banty factor !

Agreed. We'll struggle against you lot. I hope we put on a similar or better performance to the one Vs Dublin and keep 15 on the field. Maybe then we can avoid a big defeat at the veey least and cap off a great year.
