All this talking Scotstown up is laughable st bridgits cut out the frees for beggan to kick game over ,up to all senior sides to follow the script he scored 10 points in ulster final they are good but not unbeatable Farneyblueandwhite (Monaghan) - Posts: 222 - 10/08/2026 22:26:05 2689382 Link
Replying To Monaghanmad123: "Scotstown had 4 players on their junior side the other night who have started at least 6 senior championship finals each. 2 of them being man of the match in different finals. No club in junior is able to compete with that quality never mind the young lads who are aiming to break into their Ulster winning panel" It is a total farce. Been going on in Scotstown for year. I have heard that Truagh may have a little problem with their selection from the weekend. If clubs want to have 2nd teams in Junior, panels should have to be named at the start of the season with no movement allowed through the year. The carry on that is happening is the same as if Seans or Blackhill were able to bring in players from Harps and Blaney respectively during the season. The whole thing is a joke.

Children living & going to school in neighbouring parishes have sought & got permission to play with Scotstown over this last number of years.

Also, name me a team in Monaghan with Bridget's quality to do that to Scotstown in Monaghan? MonaghanMan44life (Monaghan) - Posts: 242 - 11/08/2026 10:21:29 2689412 Link

Very similar to what was happening with the faughs in the 90's and early 00's. Seems to be a reverse of that trend now with players moving from Blayney to smaller clubs round the area looking for game time Monaghanmad123 (Monaghan) - Posts: 18 - 11/08/2026 10:29:43 2689413 Link
i wonder if you brought size into the equation rather than age to try and help the junior clubs...like we all know a physically developed player might play in the next age up but if you had lighter lads available for the age group below itd help with numbers...eg a 15 or 16 year old playing at under 14s...but must be of a certain weight / size...itd help the individual who could be a late bloomer get game time and also raise the quality of the younger fellas who would have to compete against more experience. i think new zealand does this with underage rugby but this is more for h&s reasons id guess MalsBalls (Monaghan) - Posts: 289 - 11/08/2026 12:10:53 2689439 Link

If he is gone or not he will definitely have to move on asap. Players looking him out how could he walk into a dressing room after this. McCauge the natural successor can't see county board touching the former Derry man farneygael3 (Monaghan) - Posts: 777 - 12/08/2026 13:34:34 2689566 Link
Shocked if GB has been given the exit door, he has navigated the past two seasons fairly well. 222 (UK) - Posts: 961 - 12/08/2026 13:43:53 2689567 Link

Was listening to the Monaghan GAA podcast that I do enjoy and was fascinated by the point made on the Scotstown goalkeeper situation, Cian Mohan backup to Rory Beggan played junior the last few years and has been very good for their team but due to Rory being out injured he's had to play in the senior championship, by rules that means he cannot play in this years junior championship or next years championship. How is this fair on him at all, I'm not from Scotstown but I'd be raging for Cian Mohan who's been punished for stepping in for Rory beggan who's got injured while on county duty!
