Conor Mc Carthy, Mc carville, O toole, Shane Carey, Mc Carron, Damien Mc ardle, Morgan? If hughes and Beggan left in the morning Scotstown will still be a big threat.

They have 2 starting u20s this year who can't get on the team in McPhillips and Treanor .. not to mention the 4 co minors this year to come in… The junior team they have to blood all their young players out of minor… If your a club waiting for men to retire you'd be a fool because the players they have coming after should scare other clubs. veterngaa (Monaghan) - Posts: 745 - 14/11/2023 12:27:27 2512947 Link 0 |

Who have other teams got? Iniskeen have not got a goalie or a trusted Free kick taker, who would actually beat Scotstown if they lost them ? Jap and Mc Manus going to play forever? Duffys in Latton?

Them two players are irreplaceable but the fact is they wont be leaving in the morning so its a pointless argument. Cian Mohan is there number 2 keeper and is arguably in the top 3/4 keepers in the County! They have Sean Treanor and Mark Mc Philips who both played in the middle for the County 20's this year! They had 3/4 Co.17's this year and possibly 2/3 the year before. Two of there Co.17's also received All Star awards!! Seen the program from the weekend and there bench is stacked with quality and experience!! A noticeable absentee is Jack Mc Devitt... is he still around? farneygossip (Monaghan) - Posts: 38 - 14/11/2023 15:06:16 2513005 Link 1 |

If needs be they'll dip into the transfer market again so scotstown will be going nowhere either way amd numbers alone will also dictate that.. to quote Steve Staunton they'll go down the granny route again……

Which they are entitled to … it's not as if the player had no affiliation to the club. Pity to feel a jealous man like you

Who else are scotstown going to transfer in, the rest of the county players are with senior teams or good intermediate teams

It's a real pity that the two lads missed out on starting the county final to accommodate the Currin man and the Donegal man but hey ho. As for all the young talent coming through, what a shock that is! That's kind of what happens when you have 40-50 lads at every age group growing up. You tend to get a few decent footballers alright.

Does much emphasis go to the Junior team? They should really be pushing harder for a junior championship or league win I think. Also why don't more teams put a junior team in. What a way to blood players, if you have the numbers obviously. How long have scotstown had a junior team and how long are they dominant? farneygael (Monaghan) - Posts: 300 - 14/11/2023 20:15:30 2513060 Link 0 |

Scotstown Junior side long way off winning a championship or league. Don't get me wrong on their day they could beat one of the better teams and cause a upset but defintely not good enough to beat 3 or 4 of those teams on the trott in order to win the championship or league. They're roughly the standard of a mid table Junior club. As for why more teams don't put in a junior team the answer is that the county board dosen't let them. With 29 clubs in the county, the county board felt 1 additional team in junior was needed to give a even spread of 10 teams in each division. However this has given Scotstown the advantage of their reserve players playing at a higher standard than other clubs reserve players.

11 co finals in a row. The junior team must be 10 years. Most people are jealous and make snide comments like above. As if no other club in Monaghan has players transfer in.. The junior team to give players higher standard of football. veterngaa (Monaghan) - Posts: 745 - 15/11/2023 10:52:16 2513105 Link 0 |

Of course people are jealous. I'd love if my club had way more players to pick from than everybody else and could transfer in the best forward in the county! As for why more clubs don't enter a team in Junior… I can't believe this has been asked. It's a lot easier to field a strong team in Junior when you have 80+ registered senior footballers in your ranks like Scotstown. If any other club tried this, they'd be getting hammered every week in Junior and it would make a mockery of the competition. Didn't Truagh try this a few years back?

Will everyone leave veterngaa alone, he was savy enough to state that scotstown will be hard beat so obviously he has a high footballing IQ making such a bold statement like that………god help him if the poor lad can't see anything wrong or why people who are working hard at the coalface in every small club are disgusted by the currin man being poached to chase hollow medals that will mean nothing when he looks back in years to come…on a separate note my granny was from emyvale and my grandad from carrick so does that make me a 1/2 carrick and a 1/2 emyvale man…. mick2007 (Monaghan) - Posts: 569 - 15/11/2023 11:32:42 2513125 Link 3 |

Most Scotstown men I've talked to hold their hands up with some embarrassment over the whole situation! Of course they're delighted to be winning championships and cheer Jack on, that's only natural, but the seem to fully understand why everyone has a problem with it. Veterngaa is giving the rest of them a bad name! Reality is, with Scotstown being one HUGE rural area, with the biggest population and the fact that they play zero hurling in the club, guarantees that they'll be winning championships for the next 30+ years and long after… so we may get used to it! Gaelic football at club level is now, and going forward, going to be dominated by whoever has the biggest pick, barring a few outliers. It's not the same as how it used to be, clubs have better structures and are able to keep players playing. That's why the only teams that have a chance of truly overhauling Scotstown are Carrick, Castleblayney and Harps if they can ever sort themselves out. Can only imagine how dour the club scene would have been for the last 10 years had Clontibret not produced the greatest Monaghan player of all time. Scotstown would have done 10 in a row.

Poached? Scotstown also excell in coaching structures and development of their coaches and have a clear pathway. Look at your own club
