Replying To mick2007: "They wouldn't have got near an ulster final without him…. Even inniskeen would have beat them in the county final… overall the season would have to be deemed a failure….a team with 8 players on a div 1 intercounty panel is judged on provincial titles…Fergie didn't come out of a 10 year hibernation for anything less…. Has anyone heard from veterngaa since?!! I suppose between the ref, wind, rain and the ball being soft and round was prob the reason scotstown were beat…he's prob on the high stool in moynas… have 1 for me bud….." It's the nature of high performance contests. Very fine margins.. bad use of the ball.. bad decisions etc The 6 backs are not good enough.. everyone knows that. Talk your crap about co players but defences win championships As for your comments about Fergie… very strange and weird. I don't recall him been involved in any senior management team 10 years ago veterngaa (Monaghan) - Posts: 750 - 11/12/2023 14:58:04 2516364 Link

I was doing a wee bit of research about the season tickets online and from my reading of the conditions the first round of the championship ticket is not included in the bundle as was the case since it started. Maybe I'm seeing things or not seeing things as the case might be. Any views. PS you can only get so far if you try to purchase one. foreverfarney (Monaghan) - Posts: 5 - 11/12/2023 15:30:52 2516370 Link
Replying To ORIELMAN85: "Any truth in the rumour that we could be losing our goalkeeper to another sport?" He would be tailor made for kicking in the NFL so best of luck to him.. he's the 1 irreplaceable player on both the Monaghan and Scotstown team.. the history books will be kind to him and cluxton… mick2007 (Monaghan) - Posts: 570 - 11/12/2023 16:20:35 2516378 Link

Replying To Blanket: "If you read my post as I said only for beggan and the Hughes who have they ??nobody to replace them in club or unfortunately in county when they finish up,and that's a great victory for scotstown but how poor was kilcoo and some of there wides ,I hope they can prove me wrong and win ulster but come back to me when they beat glen in the final and I will hold my hands up and say I was wrong." Looks as if I was right ,scotstown had no players other than the 3 or 4 usual veterans,they have no bench to try and change game if there plan a and b is not working ,but ye did your best and tried hard ,but ye can luck forward to another championship next year, because with that set up and all your players nothing changing ,maybe start looking at transfers from along the tyrone border Blanket (Monaghan) - Posts: 42 - 11/12/2023 19:09:55 2516396 Link

Age profile as well. E caulfield is 34, d Morgan 37/38, Beggan 31, mcardle 32, Hughes mid 30s, Shane Carey 31, McCarville 30 etc veterngaa (Monaghan) - Posts: 750 - 12/12/2023 09:16:22 2516425 Link
Replying To Tiger1: "Great to see castleblaney in the all ireland junior hurling semi final next weekend do anyone think they have a hope or will it be one way traffic." Jeez the Kilkenny lads must be worried if they are sending a Wexican up to scope out a poor wee hurling team from little place in Ulster.... In truth its hard to know as its very hard to compare teams from so far away from each other. History would suggest that Kilkenny (10 wins) and Cork (8 wins) teams are the strongest but this is a good Castleblayney team if they play to their potential.

There's a lot of transfer talk around the county now. Corduff and Inniskeen being heavily linked to players in surrounding counties. Scotstown have set the precedent now with the Jack McCurrin transfer. Teams have no choice but to follow if they want to compete. HB245 (Monaghan) - Posts: 251 - 12/12/2023 10:20:33 2516446 Link

It's strange too given blayney lost the final and that give them the opportunity to play the junior grade veterngaa (Monaghan) - Posts: 750 - 12/12/2023 10:50:18 2516453 Link

Well obviously you have to have parentage connections or live in the club parish. Not as simple as just transferring in anyone. Scotstowns transfer was totally legal in line with the county by laws veterngaa (Monaghan) - Posts: 750 - 12/12/2023 10:51:44 2516454 Link
Replying To veterngaa: "Well obviously you have to have parentage connections or live in the club parish. Not as simple as just transferring in anyone. Scotstowns transfer was totally legal in line with the county by laws" Surely you can see why everyone in the entire country sees the transfer in a negative light…? Surely between the 4 parishes you had enough players to field a team without transferring McCurrin in from the smallest club in the county…? Take off the blue-tinted glasses for a moment. It was wrong and has killed the senior club scene in Monaghan. HB245 (Monaghan) - Posts: 251 - 12/12/2023 12:05:35 2516480 Link

Scotstown have set the precedent now with the Jack McCurrin transfer. Teams have no choice but to follow if they want to compete." Would that precedent not have been set by Ballybay with their import of 2 players from Cavan? Or what about Inniskeen and the Louth senior player they acquired? Whether you like it or not (and I'm not saying that I like it) Jack McCarron's transfer was 100% legit, the same cannot be said of the other transfers just mentioned. monaghan_ultra (None) - Posts: 213 - 12/12/2023 12:47:05 2516487 Link

Emyvale potentially loosing Karl Gallagher and Forde for next season will be tough on him. Two brilliant players! The loss of Beggan to Monaghan football will leave a massive hole to be filled by one of our greatest ever players! Best of luck to him on his new venture! Will any of the old guard on the Monaghan panel now consider retiring with the loss of one of there most potent weapons in Beggan? farneygossip (Monaghan) - Posts: 38 - 12/12/2023 12:49:58 2516490 Link
Replying To veterngaa: "Well obviously you have to have parentage connections or live in the club parish. Not as simple as just transferring in anyone. Scotstowns transfer was totally legal in line with the county by laws" You and these 'BY LAWS'. These don't matter one bit within this county. Players moved freely from Scotstown to Emyvale, Currin to Corduff. Yes the Scotstown transfer of McCarron seemed legal but just about 10/12 years too late. Looks like if any player wants to move they will successfully move if both clubs agree. Just hope the county club scene doesn't be ruined by players coming in from everywhere. Unlucky to Scotstown at the weekend. Weren't all that far away. They had a brilliant run and seemed to just run out of steam a little in the last 10mins against Glen. Few wayward shots and a few poor decisions but look at the conditions of course there was going to be mistakes. Jack took a few pop shots and was well off the mark IMO. Holding the ball up for a runner may have worked a little better. Hughes brothers, Beggan, Carey, McCarthy all tried their hardest. Glen will give the Dublin champions a good rattle also. countymonaghan (Monaghan) - Posts: 289 - 12/12/2023 13:48:17 2516496 Link
