Replying To seanie08: "Yeah still think the injuries were v unlucky this summer but couldnt understand for life of me why GB didnt try and get some big men on the panel after mayo game with mohan mccaul and Kelly ruled out for the year. The croke park factor is interesting. Monaghan have only won one knock out game there in normal a last 12 qualifer in 2017 v down. They beat kildare aet in 14 and same opposition in group game in 18. Another interesting stat is oisin mcgormans goal on sunday was the only the second monaghan goal scored in a quarter final or semi final in croke park since 1985. The first was micheal bannigans goal which was a scuffed effort last year from a patton kickout error. Other than that Tommy Freemans penalty in 2007 is only monaghan goal at HQ when it mattered on the big day. Conor mccmanus probably monaghans greatest ever forward never scored a goal at Croke Park in championship. There is a big record of under performance on the big day in croke park by monaghan footballers and that stuff matters come championship time. Clowns slag mayo off for losing all ireland finals but check their quarter final semi final record it ain't half bad. Tyrone far from their best for most of the year usually play with the eye of the tiger at the business end in HQ as kerry almost found out to their cost last weekend. Monaghan compared to mayo and tyrone at HQ are rabbits in headlights usually. Who can manage them to break that habit? Not sure GB for all the good work he has done is that guy." Injuries aside we would have won if we had b mcbennet with another year under his belt ,was one of our better players in 24 v galway hit the crossbar that would have brought us to a point of galway and they went on to contest the all ireland and a fit mohan and young carolan blooded in after ulster final no doubt about it all within our control will it change ?

Yea. I hit the bar in 1970. If I had been in Sunday, we would have won. Stop talking about yesterday's men.

Whats the predictions for League and championship this year
Junior- Drumhowan to win the double far to strong, young team and a foward like Doherty cant see anybody getting near them
Intermediate- Complete toss up Donaghmoyne Aughnamullen Ballybay would be my 3 contenders. Harps, Emyvale all will fall away when it matters
Senior- Scotstown to win the double, cant see how they will be beat.
Relegated
Senior- Cremartin- just about survived last few years very average team
Intermediate- Eire og, tyolland always get their act togethe when it comes to it

Time to focus on some club football and hopefully we can blood a few more good players early next season. To be fair to G Bannigan he has given a lot of new and older lads chances which is great so lets build on that. Here is a few of the mentioned.
S Mooney
O McGorman
M Maguire
D Byrne
Gallagher
B McCaul
Garland
A Carey

Won't change the fact he stood on the line like a sculpture while his opposite number had us sussed out, with a man advantage watching us throw away a golden opportunity, injuries or not.

Blayney are going to win the Senior league. Back to back senior and intermediate league titles a fantastic achievement and a stepping stone to Wee Mick for next season

Replying To ORIELMAN85: "My point exactly." Ye throwaway comments is not really contributing anything to a forum no backup round the middle no grunt or muscle, height needed to many tall lads in the bin ,round pegs in square holes in midfield last Sunday its happening us year on year and midfield needs cover there should be at least 5 lads 6 ft 3 or more in the panel to act as cover

Replying To monaghanmad: "Agree on a lot of points made above. Its very easy to say "this man should have been in, that man should have been in".
What do people want, drop Mc carville, Gallagher, for a bit of the year and play Carolan and a few of the lads that have been tried, tested and failed over the last few years. I seen a lot of lads named above and all have either failed on the county stage, don't have the mentality, or are injured. In essence, bannigan got it right throughout the year, he persisted with the mc carville and Gallagher combo and I Listened to the slating of Gallagher all yr but at the end of the day he was a vital cog that came to the boil come champo.
I can assure you a lot of these so called players that should have been on the panel or team dont stand out with the top lads in cloghan week in week out, what is bannigan supposed to do, drop lads that will inevitably save us come champo to give lads that don't have the skillset, mentality or commitment to play at the highest level. I could name them all again but they are named above in a few posts.
The reason we lost v Louth was strictly down to injuries and injuries alone. Kelly, mc caul, Mohan, beggan, Gallagher, Hamill. 6 starters who would walk onto the team when fully fully fit. How many were Louth, Dublin, Mayo missing ?
At the end of the day we were a point up with 5 minutes to go and ball in hand with mc carville unto a free against us was given. That was the deciding factor, we hold that ball for 2 minutes and work a score and its game over." No not talking about dropping above named I am saying is to add them in addition to the above named and accommodate them there is more than 2 positions in a team than 8 and 9

Congratulations on being ordinary while everyone else was playing preseason games.
I'd hazard a bet Blayney doesn't win a single championship game..
