How can we go from the tactics that saw us score 4 goals b4 half time against the same opposition last summer to what we saw Saturday night, where we played it back and sideways any time we got near their 45, no runners off the shoulder a junior team could defend against it, also Mohan made 6/7 good early run into space but the ball never let in to him, his marker stopped following him he knew he didn't need to waste his energy. Every man when he got the ball the first option was to turn back never forward, awful. DEBOGMAN (Monaghan) - Posts: 12 - 22/02/2022 15:09:54 2401903 Link 1 |
Watch the game back, Armagh had 3 goal scoring opportunities before the sending off, strolling through the defence with massive holes down the middle, only to waste their chances. Monaghan had 6 wides at half time and a lot has been said about if we took our chances, Armagh had 4!! Monaghan lost Manzy for 30mins, alot saying if he was on the pitch we'd have won, Armagh lost Rian O'Neill for 20mins, no mention of the impact this would have had on Armagh.. Who of the two are in form and more likely to win a game? 8 points, 2 from frees, is what's recognised as "ripped" apart these days?? Like I said, too many people forming their opinion from Bantys media spin rather than taking a actual clinical look at the poor state of affairs in the county.

Listening to O McConville on podcast there saying monaghan were nearly too organised in there attacking and looked uncomfortable when hitting on the counter as it had to be off the cuff. The players look in a panic when they get into the scoring zone if all does not appear rehearsed.

Banty can spin whatever garbage he likes after every game about character etc but bottom line is we are playing a dismal style of football.. it's shocking and stomach churning to watch so I can only imagine what it's like to play in…

Is this the same Oisin mcconville who said Saturday nights game was a quality game of football.. the rest of us must have been watching a different game to what he was watching..

He is very luckily to get off in my opinion he hit the lad wit a close fist but no video to show it so happy days Lad79 (Monaghan) - Posts: 53 - 25/02/2022 11:36:37 2402321 Link 1 |

A good footballing lesson today. 222 (UK) - Posts: 692 - 27/02/2022 16:01:24 2402722 Link 1 |
Men against boys today.. I wouldn't be to critical of the players today as kerry are different class and will take most teams with ease.. we probably got away lucky without getting a 20 point beating with the Clifford's being taken off early and Kerry taking the foot of the pedal for the last 15 mins.. unfort wel have to listen the same garbage again about how the lads showed serious character to keep going to the end as opposed to kerry downing tools… I said it before and il say it again Banty is not the man to take us forward.. a change is required asap… mick2007 (Monaghan) - Posts: 449 - 27/02/2022 16:09:32 2402727 Link 2 |
Watching Monaghan over 40 years and today was the first time leaving a game early. Blueblood4life (Monaghan) - Posts: 200 - 27/02/2022 16:14:48 2402730 Link 3 |
Chickens came home to roost today. We got a lesson. moodoo (Monaghan) - Posts: 441 - 27/02/2022 16:21:42 2402734 Link 0 |
We can't be critical but a goalie is a goalie and let's hope a lesson is leaned here. A roaming goalie means an empty net and a lone defender left under serious pressure.

V hard to see us staying up after today. We usually get points in bag early on and have good home form. Have not had either this time and two tough away matches now where a win in one is necessary to give us a chance in last game at home to dublin. Not impossible but form gone out the window and players look off form. seanie08 (Monaghan) - Posts: 1799 - 27/02/2022 16:46:07 2402748 Link 0 |
Monaghan finished the game with 15 players on the field. That's a step in the right direction. TearsIn85 (Monaghan) - Posts: 193 - 27/02/2022 18:53:32 2402789 Link 0 |
You make a good point on players coming through, same happened with 2013 and 2016 winning teams at minor and u21, enough not probably not blooded, a problem now again from last few ulster wins at u17 and u19, you'd be better blooding these lads and take the hit it of relegation, Derry went down a similar road and reeping rewards. Banty relying on an older core, unreal servants but time waits on nobody.

Seamus lost the support of the county today. Never seen so many die hards leaving early. The place was emptying with 15 to go. Eddie the Exile (Monaghan) - Posts: 1057 - 27/02/2022 19:17:27 2402799 Link 3 |
10 of the starting 15 from the 2016 u21 final have represented the Monaghan Senior team.
