In just over an hour i'll be supping my first pre game pint. It's hard to beat the atmosphere and craic that comes with championship football. Even though I don't give us much hope it's hard to beat a day like today. Fermanagh by 2!!! gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts: 4971 - 20/05/2017 14:09:50 1988540 Link
Replying To foxes_denn: "Hardcore, You having be rabbiting on about Monaghan this 10 years and you will always live in the Shadow of the Cavan man. MOnaghan are typical TG4 footballers. Play well in the league but useless in the Championship. And if you get over Fermanagh this weekend you will be in for a pasting in Breffni when you enter the Foxes Denn!" Monaghan will beat Cavan by nearly as much as they will beat Fermanagh today. I'm sorry but it's true. I I'd have my money on them for Ulster never mind beating the Fermanagh/Cavan.

Adams nearly kills your man not even a card yet Hughes is sitting on the bench for nothing. Great rules we have. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 20/05/2017 19:29:02 1988616 Link
Accidental Clash of heads Monaghan on the attack the ref stops the game wtf? Signal for the Fermanagh medical team to come in but don't stop the game man. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 20/05/2017 20:29:27 1988637 Link
Replying To clondalkindub: "Goalkeepers there's only 1 Stephen Cluxton give over trying to copy him cause week after week they all mess up." At half-time Beggans kickouts stats were; Found his man from 8 out of 8. Cluxtons rate (when the opposition doesn't leave a corner back free) is around 50%. Don't let the media spin fool you.

Don't let the media spin fool you. Make up your own mind!" He's doing it near on 20 years, the man has been on another level to every other keeper that's ever played. Well done Monaghan typical Nordy game Monaghan have a really good side I fancy them to win Ulster. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 20/05/2017 20:38:04 1988640 Link

If Monaghan win ulster it will be a damning reflection of where the province is at. They are bog standard, average gym junkies with 1 quality player (McCarron showed today he is not to be relied on under pressure). Tyrone and Donegal are a level above the rest of ulster. If they fail to show that over the next 8 weeks, they only have themselves to blame cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5012 - 21/05/2017 03:49:02 1988692 Link
Ah sh!te. Ulster for us next year. gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts: 4971 - 21/05/2017 04:27:48 1988693 Link
Replying To MadgeKing: "We are not used to seeing lop-sided Round 1 clashes in the USFC but this one looks like it will go that way. Fermanagh are looking thread-bare, and even if their starting 15 put it up to Monaghan early on they will have very little on the bench to sustain it. On the other hand the Monaghan men are very strong this year, as good as they've ever been. For some reason they still can't cope with being favorites so their biggest problem will be the expectation of an easy win. I can't help thinking the severity of Darren Hughes injury has been exaggerated to cool that in some way. It would not be surprising to see him line out in the big one against Cavan. Anyway, a 10+ point defeat for Fermanagh looks a decent bet here. You just never know with Monaghan though..." You called it exactly right. To play with that kind of intensity for two halves, you need a strong bench. The GAA world is ill-divided essmac (Tyrone) - Posts: 1141 - 21/05/2017 08:15:14 1988699 Link
Very impressive second half from Monaghan. Jesus if we had Conor McManus in Mayo we'd be flying it yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11230 - 21/05/2017 09:32:13 1988710 Link

Job done, plenty to work on but its all about getting the job done in Ulster championship. Serious amount of venom coming out of Cavan towards Monaghan. Monaghan had a good spread of scores and good bench. muckla (UK) - Posts: 365 - 21/05/2017 10:13:46 1988721 Link

The fact that you claim Tyrone and Donegal are a level above us and at the same time say that us winning it would be a "damning reflection on Ulster football" shows that that, deep down you are really afraid of us winning it. That fear is well justified after yesterday, wasn't perfect but it's always good to have something to work on. Next up for us is Cavan's All Ireland and after that who knows mhunicean_abu (Monaghan) - Posts: 1044 - 21/05/2017 10:28:30 1988724 Link

Strange sort of a game. We were very sloppy in the first half, making several silly mistakes and were strangely open at the back which is unusual for us. In truth we were lucky to go in at half time ahead, though we had some poor wides and shorts aswell. Second half was much better, once we got into a rhythm the points kept coming. We used the bench well and all subs made a good contribution. None of the starting forwards had a brilliant game but there were a few moments of class from the three lads in the FF line, if we can get all of them flying then we're in business. All in all we only really performed well for a 20 minutes period in the 2nd half but that was enough to put the game to bed. Alot of improvements needed for the next game but I'd be confident enough that will come. patk (Monaghan) - Posts: 936 - 21/05/2017 10:29:19 1988725 Link
By the way best of luck to Fermanagh in the Qualifiers. They, like us, have a bit to work on but they will be a hard task for anyone. Keep the faith mhunicean_abu (Monaghan) - Posts: 1044 - 21/05/2017 10:51:09 1988735 Link

They've held their own in division 1 for a few years now, collecting 2 provincial titles in recent years. As a county they are maximising the use of their available resources and getting the optimum return. In contrast, Cavan haven't done anything since the 1960's (beyond a fluke in 97 when Derry were cheated out of a title). That's the simple reality of the situation, whether we as Cavan fans like it or not, Monaghan are getting something right that we simply can't.
