2. Lost first round
3. Well beaten in final (6 down and a goal made it respectable)
4. Lost first round
5. Lost first round
6. Hammered in final (1-14 to 0-7)
7. Lost prelim following the worst tactical meltdown in half a century
8. Lost by a point in final

Replying To Claretandblue:  "Who should fund their holiday?"
I dont know, maybe a few quid out of the gate receipts from the 6 Championship games that they played, many of which they sold out?
Maybe a provincial champion county should be at least awarded the cost of a holiday?
Everyone is getting their few quid, from them, from Tom Ryan down to back room staff on each count team.

Having each player on a website showing how much they have raised is a bloody disgrace....

having players sharing their own fundraiser on social media and whats app groups is degrading, after what they did this season....

Do you not think that is the very basic they deserve Claretandblue?

Well, what other way will you see it in Leitrim?

Replying To Alwaysencourage:  "If they started then those two players are obviously the best players in their positions and they were playing well.So it did of course make a difference."
Again the point is that people are saying that's what decided the game when they were off however Annaghdown lost a valuable player as well and as you say 'best in his position' regardless of the performance of his replacement he's still viewed as the best player for the position.

It's more fair to say that losing Luc O'Connor and Ryan Flaherty for Claregalway was an equivalent loss to Annaghdown losing Olan Kelly earlier on

Replying To ColmFlaherty:  "Fair play to Daithi if he was good when he was on. The point was though that losing the calibre of players of Luc O'Connor and Ryan Flaherty swung it to Annaghdown when Claregalway have numerous players who've been involved with Galway teams such as Eamon McGrath, Conor Flaherty, Conor Campbell, Jack Glynn, Jack Mullen, Luc O'Connor, Ryan Flaherty, Jack Lonergan, Owen Morgan, Daniel Fitzmaueice, Jack Ramsey, Daniel Hughes, Eanna Monaghan, Matthew Collins, Eoin Geraghty and Danny Cummins, that's 16 players.

Annaghdown then have Olan Kelly, Daithi and Diarmuid Kilcommins, Ethan Forde, Eoin Newell, Stephen Curley, Cathal Heavey and Damien Comer, that's 8 players.

Claregalway have twice the players Annaghdown have that have county set-up experience"
You forgot Dara Whelan, part of the u20 winning team.
Sean Moran also played Galway U21.
Barry Goldrick, although injured, a Galway minor.
Kyle Long, Cillian Walsh, Jamie King all goalies involved in recent minor teams.

This isnt a slate Claregalway post but sometimes underage success isnt the be all and end all.

Look at Garrymore, Milltown to an extent. Its about being good senior players. Claregalway have to break that ceiling yet.

It seems Claregalway have been used to being strong at underage, the main men in the schools team in CBC, but really hasnt translated to senior 'success'.

I would like to see Cillian McDaid finish out his playing career with Dunkellin Gaels. He would obviously need to do his homework and see are the club going to last but it would be great for the club. The move would not be disrespectful to Monivea/Abbey.

Totally agree, having players publicly sharing their own fundraiser and highlighting how much they have raised feels degrading. They have done their part on the pitch. The County Board should be doing its part off it, but there is no proactive effort to improve things, and a serious lack of financial strategy and forward planning. What a mess we are in.

Would Banty being back be that bad for Monaghan football.

If he wasn't housing refugees someone else would, at least he would use it to back Monaghan football. Sometime he's portrayed as he's breaking the law, not his fault the government are firing money at him. I'm sure the players want him as they would be treated like professionals.

I don't think we should have him on the line but bring him in as a JP mc manus sort of figure. Money talks bigger and better managers get attracted therefore should drive Monaghan foward.
