Rumour has it Mceneany stepped down as blayney manager Monaghan_football (Monaghan) - Posts: 29 - 16/10/2024 11:37:06 2575248 Link
Replying To Monaghan_football: "Rumour has it Mceneany stepped down as blayney manager" Himself and Paul O Connor need to move on and let Malone take the reigns if there's any hope of any progression farneygael3 (Monaghan) - Posts: 74 - 16/10/2024 12:11:08 2575263 Link
Replying To Farneyman21: "Strange as you picked Iniskeen to beat the blues in the semi's?" Predictions and a Punt are a little different. And it was a winner. Check back my pre season predictions and then get back to me. ORIELMAN85 (Monaghan) - Posts: 386 - 16/10/2024 17:14:01 2575344 Link

It'll surely be roll on roll off subs with 2 games in 2 days? Looking forward to it to be honest. MrPBoylan (Monaghan) - Posts: 206 - 17/10/2024 09:30:07 2575427 Link

I fear for this competition before it starts, zero marketing, only a few die hards knows that its on, will be played in a empty Cork Park with the optics looking terrible, its on prime time TV where the premiership will be on the other stations, with pack out stadiums. They should have least try to play it in different part of the country, where you might get a bit better of a crowd. patmouse (Monaghan) - Posts: 122 - 17/10/2024 10:43:58 2575440 Link

Clones, Thurles, Ennis, Galway, Tullamore, Mullingar even? There has been a bit of media talk from what I've seen. Newstalk, RTE and the Indo have done bits on it. €15 for 4 games isn't bad value, for that alone you may well see a good Cavan crowd.

Its crying out for a midweek gaa TV show , rounding up the club championships. latefortraining (Monaghan) - Posts: 115 - 17/10/2024 13:42:04 2575464 Link

They are using an umpire from Cavan instead. It works on angles and percentages. Can predict where the ball would end up if the posts were 100 foot high. It's called Gawkeye.

Ye'll notice no hurling version. Last Final drew 600 to Carrick on Shannon. Seanfanbocht (Roscommon) - Posts: 1955 - 17/10/2024 14:28:47 2575474 Link

Junior finals weekend.. Aghabog v Toome league final Drumhown v Eire OG Championship final Intermediate relegation Harps v Clones Blackhill v Emyvale.. Thoughts on this weekend games? currinman (Monaghan) - Posts: 39 - 18/10/2024 08:53:27 2575574 Link
Replying To veterngaa: "Exactly.. men here wondering what's the strongest team… it's about testing the new rules befor they are voted on" Testing the new rules.....what a laugh. They will only be tested in the white heat of Championship when the county coaches have their say. I loved the Railway Cup, but these games will tell us nothing about the new rules.

It's about seeing the rules in action veterngaa (Monaghan) - Posts: 651 - 18/10/2024 11:53:11 2575623 Link
Replying To veterngaa: "Are you serious? It's nothing about the railway cup.

Coaches coach and games are played how coaches want. ORIELMAN85 (Monaghan) - Posts: 386 - 18/10/2024 21:59:19 2575736 Link
