Replying To MonGaa123:  "Monaghan are back!! What a display. If they want to push for the ulster championship they will need to draft in a few drumhowan lads. I don't know how 3 of them aren't on the scene at the minute. They cruised the junior championship last year."
Only player deserving of playing county football in Junior last year is Conor Leonard who's been unlucky with injuries. Oisin gleeson aswell pushing towards that level deserves a chance imo gave Jason Irwin a roasting last year which resulted in Irwin's boxing experience being brought into the game

Replying To Blackcardnot:  "Jesus Eddie, I'll take that level of mediocrity any day of the week. Well done us. Monaghan take a bow."
Very enjoyable run out to be fair, the lads played some great football at times but have plenty to work on too. Still would like to see a settled no.6, the midfield partner for Mohan sorted, and more scores co.ing from Garland-Jones-Mooney.
Great to have a trophy coming home at the end of the evening, but the low key celebrations were good to see. A far cry from the headless yahooing of a few years back

A great 2nd half last night. From a defensive point of view, possibly our best showing this year. Once Mohan got on top in midfield it gave our forwards the outlet they needed. It's hard to read too much into it. Roscommon were poor, as were Cavan, Louth, Meath, Westmeath and Cork when we beat them. But you can only beat whoever is in front of you. And one thing Gabriel Bannigan has brought to the team is a feel good factor. It's been a while since a Monaghan team has looked as comfortable on the ball as now. So the Championship should be interesting at the very least.

Replying To FarneyView:  "20s management were hit with a reality check last night. Management need to take a look at some of their choices and start playing players in their correct position. Callan should be playing 6 in that team with mcginnity starting in that inside forward line. Mulligan and McCaul proved their class and showed why they are on match day panels for their senior teams. Young mccaffrey did exceptional while still being u18. Monaghan defense seemed quite shaky and could be exploited if left exposed. Good players but they need to be positioned correctly!"
I see the U20s thumped Cavan today in the replay
