To my knowledge I think peter donnelly is a strength and conditioning coach and if you think for a minute that scullion is calling the shots over McCaugue you have a lot to learn ,can you remember who called the shots in the last county games with banty involved and playing shane Carey when the dogs on the street knew it was wrong moves and similar players getting on before better young lads on the bench ,and about Kieran Hughes missing last year as I have said take the Hughes and beggan off the scotstown team and they are a very ordinary team ,mccarron has not made much of a difference at all ,we will see when the corduff rear guard are stuck in his face for every ball how he will do.

Comprehensively beat Scotstown and should have annihilated them. But yeah, no chance..........

Yes and so many teams have done this in the past but come the crunch they fold. Whereas, Scotstown have done it on the big day for 7/10 years. Clontibret beat them twice in finals by 1 point and 6 points, Ballybay by 3 points. Inniskeen have been without a senior championship for 75 years. No player has experienced a championship final even so they have a lot to do. They have all going well and the right manager there to do it but lets see if they do. I am not saying it is impossible for them to win it but the fact they "should have annihilated" them in a game that never mattered doesn't mean they are a better team. countymonaghan (Monaghan) - Posts: 289 - 21/09/2023 13:34:04 2505055 Link 0 |

If his fathers "club" was languishing near the bottom of div 3 with zero chance of success I doubt he'd have went as quick.. chasing a hollow medal that in the scheme of things will mean very little in years to come with the conflict it's caused….

Am I reading this correctly?! You're comparing Jack McCarron, the best forward in the county, leaving the smallest club in Monaghan to chase medals and join the only club in Ulster with enough players to field 5 adult football teams…. To Fadian, a goalkeeper from a junior club in Mayo, playing the last few years of his career with Clontibret due to (presumably) living in / close to the area?!?!?!?! You're mentioning these two transfers in the same breath?! If this is what helps you sleep at night, but most Scotstown people I talk to seem embarrassed about the transfer and would rather win the championship with 15 Scotstown men starting.

Then his father should of had him playing there from a child. To play with currin all his life and leave teammates and friends behind doesn't sit with me.

Where not saying scotstown are finished or where not a great team, just saying take the 2 Hughes and beggan off the team and they are very ordinary and maybe next year when they might be hanging them up ,who is the next leaders coming along ,cause I can't see any with all there teams they have ,so maybe a new team winning might shake up the senior championship and remember that they is a South of the county not just the treasured North.

Typically north Monaghan looking down on south Monaghan giving no credit. I can't wait for Inniskeen and Carrick to win the championship

North Monaghan has long been the backbone of the county. Now with the northern clubs starting to faulter (largely due to incompetence among their respective committees) it'll be interesting to see how the county team holds up after a good 15/20 years in and around div.1 in the league.

A Ridiculous post.. Monaghan's backbone is the fact that there are players from every club in the county.. unlike other counties that focus on a small number of clubs.. that thought is outdated.. if you are good enough then you play.. that is Monaghan's strength.

Scotstown and Clontibret have been the backbone of the county team for 20 years at least, between the Corey and Moen eta followed by the Hughes and McManus era, Monaghan have been at their most successful since the days of scotstowns trip to the club all Ireland. Admittedly Truagh, Emyvale and the Harps have massively underperformed in supplying the county team but now all of these clubs are creaking and getting old, with not a lot making a mark on the county scene just yet so the point stands, it'll be interesting over the next 3/4 years when the backbone of the county steps away who'll step up - and it'll have to be from outside of the north of the county because there's not a lot to pick from there as it stands

You said they've no chance, now you're backtracking. Not once did I say they will, but of course they have a chance………..
