Anyword how the challenge game with London last weekend went? The Tailteann cup already seems to be doomed to fail with way GAA are structuring and promoting it, token gesture kinda stuff but that is sadly externally controlled all Donnelly and the panel can do is treat it as best can with view to building the squad for 2023. The north south draw thing is ridiculous really, no doubt Mondays draw has us playing Cavan, again!! macca999 (Fermanagh) - Posts: 965 - 13/05/2022 12:18:31 2416846 Link 0 |
Hopefully a good support makes the trip down to Pearse Park to support the lads. macca999 (Fermanagh) - Posts: 965 - 27/05/2022 12:48:03 2420476 Link 0 |

Got the result on Saturday after a sluggish first half as let Longford run at us through middle though second half stopped this and took control of the game, although couldnt make it count on scoreboard until the late goal. Some poor decisions to shoot when defender on forwards shoulder. macca999 (Fermanagh) - Posts: 965 - 30/05/2022 16:06:02 2421170 Link 1 |

Big game ahead tomorrow for both counties, good championship weather, nice venue hopefully a decent crowd and good atmosphere. Cavan are up for this and put away Down well in last game. I think we will win but it won't be easy. Cavan love going to Brewster park so we should get a good turnout from both sets supporters facer4home (Cavan) - Posts: 135 - 04/06/2022 12:58:43 2422111 Link 0 |
Very frustrating game yesterday to watch, with unforced errors, poor decision making and shooting. From first whistle to concede a goal through centre of pitch (not for first time this season has happened)showed a naivety in team. macca999 (Fermanagh) - Posts: 965 - 06/06/2022 07:44:57 2422621 Link 0 |
That's time up this season for Fermanagh and many will be glad to see the end of the county gravy train. No doubt there will now be an exodus of a number of players to get onboard another gravy train across the ocean in dollar-land! Meanwhile, here at home it should be time to reflect on the county season and see if the new management measured up to expectations and my take is that they definitely fell short of that. A significant number of Fermanagh supporters like myself are fed up with the county board's non-ambitious strategy and wasting money on low-end management recruitment and thereby frustrating the proper development of potential talent that could elevate Fermanagh out of the mediocre position they find themselves in season after season. It's time to bring some bright forward thinking people with vision on board otherwise we'll end up no further on next season and indeed future seasons. TurnipHead.

macca is at it again blaming goalkeeping for the team's poor performance. When will he wise up and realise that there are 14 other players on the field? In reply to turniphead, why wouldn't any young player free for the summer not want to taste some Yankee gravy :) Wired2theMoon (Fermanagh) - Posts: 31 - 07/06/2022 13:33:53 2423018 Link 0 |
Good to see both Cullens lining out for Belnaleck at weekend, i know Lee returning to Australia but back again later in club season, while Che is back and forward. Getting both these lads back in Fermanagh be a huge boost for the 2023and has to be a priority for Kieran Donnelly. macca999 (Fermanagh) - Posts: 965 - 24/06/2022 16:04:01 2427300 Link 0 |

I have been reading macca999's posts relating to our county senior team and he appears to have extensive knowledge and experience of the players and their ability or lack of, and other players not currently in the squad but unfortunately his opinions appear to fall on deaf ears. Given his wisdom, I think Donnelly would do well to have him in his backroom team as one of his advisors and/or selectors. Macca's game analyses and vision for the team could be a valuable contribution to the Fermanagh management and team going forward.

I'm flabbergasted by skealad's thinking given macca's legacy of criticism that has caused so much controversary on this forum. Maybe, I'm too sceptical. So, to give him the benefit of the doubt, please could this would-be manager's adviser tell me what he could realistically do to make the team any better than it is? I doubt, given the lack of talent due to population size, that anything that can be done different? BigToeJoe (Fermanagh) - Posts: 155 - 15/07/2022 10:35:10 2432159 Link 0 |
Absolute silence from macca...all talk...no strategy or plan for what he would do.

It strange what is happening in the league one with Harps showing no appetite to win. Then we have newcomers Derrylin defeating Devenish...so well done to them after their previous manager deserted them...not sure if he is with that Tyrone club, all I know that Tempo didn't want him. Fair play to Belnaleck for edging out Ederney. BigToeJoe (Fermanagh) - Posts: 155 - 16/07/2022 10:57:51 2432307 Link 0 |
Although, people might differ in opinion, I think the sliding teams have management issues more that player issues. Anyhow, from last night's results things look brighter for Belleek, Enniskillen and Kinawley who regularly are hanging on to top positions but on the negative side the likes of Roslea, Donagh and Devenish could be set for relegation as things stand. In Div 2, Irvinestown and Teemore if they keep up their performances they will return easily to Div1 next season. BigToeJoe (Fermanagh) - Posts: 155 - 06/08/2022 12:58:17 2436416 Link 0 |
