Replying To DundalkGael:  "According to LMFM, Louth are trying to get Croke Park as the home venue for the Monaghan game"
Yes but only if it doubles up with another fixture.

Can't see Croke Park opening up just for a Louth v Monaghan stand-alone round robin game.

Roll on the final, as you say possibly against Leitrim and here's hoping the lads have their ALL IRELAND medal at the dinner dance later in the year when seniors will be getting their medals also. Monaghan abu"
Do you ever take a day off Tom? You are deeper in the role than Kim Philby at this point.

With a special seat reserved alongside the veteran.

Really embarrassing yourself again Brehon. Obviously you are a fair weather bandwagoner. Can just see you in Croke Park on big match day hogging the best seats in the house. Time to zip up and let us true Monaghan supporters enjoy the success of all of our teams. Good luck to Paul and his squad in the All Ireland Final. Probably be a repeat of our 1999 semi final, hopefully with a different outcome. Great to see PC sill involved, so many years after he put in place the coaching system that has been so successful in the county.

Louth match will be some occasion now lads. I don't think they are nearly done for the year in terms of mindset, the scent of winning is in the nostrils now.
Gabriel Bannigan and the management team have some big, big calls to make. Midfield, half forward, and inside forwards for a start. The raw material to match up on Lennon, Durnin and Mulroy is there if deployed right, but they have to think about asking some real questions of Louth. They won 100% of the second half breaks on Sunday and grew stronger as the game wore on. If Monaghan play a ponderous game like the first 35 against Donegal it will suit Louth to no end.

Would like to echo this and our next senior manager. Hopefully he will have the all Ireland title under his belt, no man more deserving for the work he was done and the development of our players over many, many years

Doubt very much Ger Brennan would want the game in Croke Park, wouldn't be surprised if he opted for Inniskeen. Nice sedate ground to get the team back focused on All Ireland series.
Don't really care where we play as long as Monaghan perform to their potential, get in and get the job done and then plan for the next game.

I'd actually be more of a Club football man myself, but thank you for your input. I have morning and evening commitments that don't let me travel as extensively as others, but that doesn't make me any less knowledgeable. I do know the difference between an All Ireland title and an All Ireland B title. Surely the goals of our County U20s should be higher than you have set them. Also, I am just amazed how FarneyGael3 has become such an authority here, considering he has only just appeared, and has posted over 200 times in the space of 3 or 4 weeks. You would really have to wonder at what his agenda is.
