Poor side doesn't win All-Ireland Quarter-final with 14 men for 64 minutes by 3 points. Poor side doesn't beat Dublin and Armagh either. Jose when he spoke rarely gave any respect to his opponent try to be less like him and give the credit where it due to Louth for their deserved win.

Not good enough. Simple as. Louth a far better team with only 14. Yes beggan was a loss but the game was lost up front. Not mobile enough. Monaghan famed for energy at the end but it was louth that had it in spades

Firstly congratulations to Louth. In truth they were the better side all game showed great heart and energy losing a man so early and good luck to them. I hope they make the final. On to us yes we could won if we'd managed last 5 mins better but think the summer caught up with us with injuries games played today. Apart from.sesmic loss of beggan Karl Gallagher not playing was huge as hes a superb athlete who suits croke park. We have been v unlucky this season with injuries to key men . These lads owe monaghan nothing and got every last drop out of themselves making quarter finals but in reality with beggan out and an already patched up midfield we weren't going to realistically go much further. The goals kudos to o hanlon and extra man kept us in the game. Truth is we are v limited in midfield but having one of the best keepers in country negated that disadvantage and without him today was inevitable. seanie08 (Monaghan) - Posts: 2017 - 28/06/2026 17:08:28 2682468 Link 2 |

Croke Park always gets the better of monaghan and our big players. Louth deserved that and were the better team. They ran us off the pitch and were clinical. Could not believe the size and power, the difference in the two teams was staggering. Really evident today. It was a good championship post the league but we just havent the pedigree to make the break when it comes to the really important part of the championship. We always crumble. Well done louth. 222 (UK) - Posts: 948 - 28/06/2026 17:48:59 2682485 Link 0 |

I think there is truth in that. You can't fault the lads spirit but reality is you need the big men for croke park. We had Gary mohan fully fit in 2023 kicking 4 pts from play when we made semi final. We needed him today but he hasn't been fit since. We needed Bobby mccaul but the young man has had zero luck with injuries. Anyone who read his interview in recent days would appreciate how hard his gaa journey has been. Can we develop and entice likes of mcphilips etc back next year as all needed. Monaghan are a proud outfit who never lie down but you find your level in croke park and given the resources we have had this year that level was a quarter final no disgrace in that.

Half way through the first half i had that sinking feeling. That same feeling when monaghan were ponderous against Fermanagh in 2018. Small things had me feeling that way. Example, a ball in to Bannigan in first half, uncontested hopped of his chest, Bannigan's goal attempt, McCarville's kick pass that went out for a line ball, McGorman's wild attempts for points, the ball hopping of Byrne coming out of defence. It all pointed at a team not collectively switched on. Teams prepare for eventualities but it looked like Monaghan didn't have a plan if they had an actual man. sleater (Monaghan) - Posts: 207 - 28/06/2026 18:17:27 2682516 Link 0 |

Gutted, a change similar to that in casement yrs ago, a bonded team changed at the last minute. Very strange how this could happen stoneygrey (Monaghan) - Posts: 255 - 28/06/2026 18:18:34 2682518 Link 0 |

Gabriel on the radio saying if we had Rory we would have won. No, we had 15 v 14 for 92% of the game and lost by 3. farneygael3 (Monaghan) - Posts: 732 - 28/06/2026 18:22:08 2682522 Link 0 |
