well done Fermanagh. Deserved it on the day. Mattie could really take a leaf out of their book. Just shows that the weaker counties including Cavan could have a shot at the big teams on any given day.

Kildare scored 1-10 against a team who played in Division 4 this year ... not exactly earth shattering. Monaghan scored 1-18 (combined total of both teams today) in their last outing against Tyrone who are reputed to be as defensive as Fermanagh - counted for nothing today.

Yeah you're right. They should go man to man and take their twenty point beating.

Just had the feeling watching this what was going to happen in the end. Hard to believe from a Monaghan point of view we were beaten two years in a row by being bullied out of it in the same fashion, especially in the first half. Complacency cost us again. Will be hard to pick it up again but at least we are not out next week, don't become a bad team because of one loss. Best of luck in the final to the long suffering Fermanagh gaels mhunicean_abu (Monaghan) - Posts: 1067 - 03/06/2018 18:56:34 2106983 Link 0 |

In reply, Curlew66 how does Galway "Sam visits" compare with your Roscommon? Here are the facts...enough said! Galway won 9 All-Ireland Senior Football Championships: 1925,1934, 1938, 1956, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1998, 2001. Roscommon won 2 All-Ireland Senior Football Championships: 1943, 1944.

Well done Fermanagh - hungrier on the day. Anyway off we go through the back door. To be honest, I find it fairly pathetic the Cavan glee on this forum, but perhaps it makes them feel better about their lost decades. greysoil (Monaghan) - Posts: 965 - 03/06/2018 19:25:26 2106998 Link 0 |

Totally different topic WestRule .. I dont see the relevance of your reply atall. I was only replying to to your comment on how far behind the other provinces Ulster are. They have done as well as Connacht (which includes Roscommon and Galway) in the past two decades. Im sorry if you didnt understand that .. enough said. I would love if Galway won the double this year .. its just that I dont get any kicks out of rubbishing other teams/provinces .. keep counting !

Yes I'm well aware Tyrone were beaten by Monaghan doesn't mean Monaghan are better same way Fermanagh aren't better then Monaghan even though they won today or that Monaghan are better then Dublin because they won against them in the league. These are one of games. If Tyrone and Monaghan played 10 Tyrone would win the majority of them. What I was saying as the year Progress's Tyrone will show they are the best ulster team.

Don't waste your time on those that are only willing to comment or give an appraisal of a team when they lose. It shows a lack of something.... They were nowhere to be seen after the Tyrone game. We played two games in the championship not one, and everyone bar NY are still in it.

Congrats to Fermanagh. They deserved it and plain wanted it more. Monaghan didnt perform and looked completely flat in the first half. We improved in the second half but still never hit near full tilt - largely because Fermanagh stifled our game. Fermanagh were very well organised and mostly disciplined at the back. Their forward play is probably lacking (thankfully or they would have racked up a much bigger score in the first half!) seanfinn (Monaghan) - Posts: 360 - 03/06/2018 20:06:47 2107019 Link 0 |

Ulster has done as well as Connacht in last two decades. Really? Just, as well? Tyrone, Armagh and Donegal have won All Irelands since then.

I think it's stemming somewhat from the presence of Monaghan posters on the Cavan page prior to and after the Donegal game. And some (not all) Monaghan posters do themselves no favours when they talk of resting players for what was always going to be a tough ulster championship game. There are a few other posters from other counties commenting on Monaghan too - so it looks like Cavan aren't the common denominator here. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5251 - 03/06/2018 21:09:30 2107044 Link 1 |

Ease on there RD, Rory knows how to use the blanket, he was there at it's gestation, our man thinks "blanket defense" is the name of a racehorse or something like that!!

Congrats to fermanagh better side on the day. Our attitude to the match was pathetic showed v little hunger or desire with odd exception. Seemed some of our players thought be an easy case of coasting along to a final and saving themselves for then. Not sure why as exact same thing happened last year v down but this was nearly worse as we were forewarned prior to this. The hype after tyrone match seemed to have had an impact. Massive blow to mgmt and team as going to be v difficult to pick it back up for a run in qualifiers. A lot of our best players are around or over the 30 mark and really needed to go the front door to have a good summer. We have talented younger players but mgmt don't trust them at this level however they might not have been as complacent as our more senior players today who continue to dine out on matches played 3 or 4 years ago. Good luck to fermanagh in final. seanie08 (Monaghan) - Posts: 1890 - 03/06/2018 21:23:02 2107051 Link 0 |

By all reports this was as bad a game as any that have gone before from reports on people who saw it. Did not see it as I was at our game. Well done Fermanagh. Gas many posters some from Monaghan went to town on us after the poor Mayo Galway game. Just shows that it can be up or down for most and this is the very reason I would not start throwing stones at Monaghan as you don't become a bad team overnight. A team to be watched in the qualifiers mark my words. kiloughter (Galway) - Posts: 1973 - 03/06/2018 21:26:59 2107052 Link 1 |

Firstly I never said it was earth shattering, it was actually poor, but at least the paying supporters saw a game of football. Might be no harm to read more than one post mate. If you want to call that game today entertaining then be my guest.

What a difference a week makes and what a brass neck on some people. The game between Monaghan and Tyrone was lauded as a good game by most people and it occurred just a week after the boring and laboured snore fest between galway and Mayo so spare people with that type of myopic and oblivious commentary. I'm sure it was a delight to be sitting in the stands in Killarney today to watch a nothing game. At least the game in Omagh was tight to the very end and had an undeniably dramatic finish. But we're lead to believe the likes of the turkey shoot in Killarney and the same regular occurrence that goes on in Leinster is better. Give me a break. Just like to say well done to Fermanagh fans tonight. I'm sure you'll do well in the final. That teams all heart and guts for sure. To Monaghan fans,don't worry too much you are still a good team and have a say yet. Sometimes you get ambushed occasionally but you just have to get ready for the next game. seanie_boy (Tyrone) - Posts: 4235 - 03/06/2018 22:30:57 2107086 Link 3 |

The embarrassingly negative comments are mostly from Cavan supporters...nothing wrong with commentary but just delighted to see a Monaghan defeat by any other team. Monaghan posters on Cavan site around Donegal game were just discussing football and were less negative in the main than comments from Cavan supporters themselves. But I suppose there is huge frustration in Cavan for many years now many years now and that manifests itself from time to time in embarrassingly negative ways. 'talk of resting players' is a legitimate comment where there is a close call in selection between some players of roughly equal ability....it's called squad rotation. And you can be sure that if either Cavan or Monaghan are to progress further this year then this will be on the agenda for both counties. We beat Tyrone and their supporters accepted their defeat sportingly. Likewise we offer our congratulations to Fermanagh. So stop indulging in negative commentary where it's not justified. True supporters love this game......leave the petty jealousies and bitterness behind. Monaghan supporters will turn out in force to support their county in the qualifiers. Will Cavan's ?
