The man has had 8 attempts to win an Ulster title. The record stands:
1. Lost first round
2. Lost first round
3. Well beaten in final (6 down and a goal made it respectable)
4. Lost first round
5. Lost first round
6. Hammered in final (1-14 to 0-7)
7. Lost prelim following the worst tactical meltdown in half a century
8. Lost by a point in final
Two simple questions
1. How many more chances does one man get?
2. If there was no money involved would he get a look in?

Replying To Claretandblue: "Who should fund their holiday?" I dont know, maybe a few quid out of the gate receipts from the 6 Championship games that they played, many of which they sold out?
Maybe a provincial champion county should be at least awarded the cost of a holiday?
Everyone is getting their few quid, from them, from Tom Ryan down to back room staff on each count team.
Having each player on a website showing how much they have raised is a bloody disgrace....
having players sharing their own fundraiser on social media and whats app groups is degrading, after what they did this season....
Do you not think that is the very basic they deserve Claretandblue?

Replying To A_Chairde: "Stupid post , Moate as a team have improved a tonne under Val Daly. Nobody bar maybe Moate themselves believed they were ever going to get near The Downs. Getting to a senior semi for the first time since 1997 and making it out of Section B is a real measuring stick for Moate regardless of what people think of how they got there. I personally know some of the Moate lads and they are very happy with there progress under Val Daly. Youd imagine he will stay on for a third year with a young team that should still have plenty of development in them. For Kinnegad one poor performance doesnt suddenly make you a poor team. Jack Cooney transformed them into genuine title contenders having made two county finals and two semi finals. Most other clubs can only dream of that and hes probably saved them a fortune. Kinnegad just havent been good enough to win one but there is hardly shame in that. Jack will know better than anyone whether hes taken Kinnegad as far as he can. The Downs and Lomans always bring the best out of each other so looking forward to a great battle between them. Milltown and Shandonagh is a tasty intermediate final for obvious reasons. It would be nice to see Josephs finally win the junior as well but couldnt write off any team from the Downs." Agreed; how people can turn around and blame the Moate management after reaching a Senior Semi Final is crazy; maybe some agendas at play. Cooney has done very well with Kinnegad they probably just lack that forward in the big games, they've lots of very good forwards but not a Heslin or Luke, any there's a number of teams that don't have them lads.
Very early but you'd imagine there will be some changing to managements for next year. The early rumours are the Caulry manager stepped down. Otherwise you'd imagine a lot will remain the same.

Weekend Takeaways
- Hopefully now people can cool the jets on Magheracloone. They've an intermediate standard forward line. Them winning the league last year makes our Senior League look even worse than it already did. Felt sorry for Tommy having to do the commentary on that game.
- Death, taxes, Carrick not having the belly for a tight game.
- Andrew Woods has been one of the top few club players in the county for years now. Unbelievable performance. Hard to bate seeing a little village beating a big town. I'd love to see them get a championship.
- Farcical that the two semi finals are repeat matches from the groups. It should have been Scotstown vs Truagh and Clontibret vs Inniskeen. Keep the thing fresh.
- Ultimately none of this actually matters as the 5 village amalgamation are going to walk this championship.

Replying To Galwayareback: "Colm, Olans replacement the younger Kilcommins was excellent when he came on and did not weaken the team. He set up 2-3 scores as soon as he came on and if I remember he caught the important ball at the end. That said if Annaghdown has any hope Kelly and Daithi Kilcommons need to start against Moycullen, though I dont think it will make any difference. All I can say about Claregalway is winning underage titles by numbers does not build for senior battles. Conor Flaherty, Eamon McGrath Jack Mullen, showed leadership as Annaghdown had bigger leaders Meehan, 2 Kilcommins (Diarmaid was brilliant), Curley was super and obviously Comer who was the leader. My question for Claregalway is how come Jack Mullen did not start and why wasnt Jack Glynn on Comer. A note thought some of the refereeing decisions for both sides was iffy at best." Fair play to Daithi if he was good when he was on. The point was though that losing the calibre of players of Luc O'Connor and Ryan Flaherty swung it to Annaghdown when Claregalway have numerous players who've been involved with Galway teams such as Eamon McGrath, Conor Flaherty, Conor Campbell, Jack Glynn, Jack Mullen, Luc O'Connor, Ryan Flaherty, Jack Lonergan, Owen Morgan, Daniel Fitzmaueice, Jack Ramsey, Daniel Hughes, Eanna Monaghan, Matthew Collins, Eoin Geraghty and Danny Cummins, that's 16 players.
Annaghdown then have Olan Kelly, Daithi and Diarmuid Kilcommins, Ethan Forde, Eoin Newell, Stephen Curley, Cathal Heavey and Damien Comer, that's 8 players.
Claregalway have twice the players Annaghdown have that have county set-up experience

Got to admit the standard club football bar one-two games in knockout stages is awful in this county. I dont envy Frankie dolan. Better hope kikoe win it even then i dont think longdord champions get within 12 points of lomans or the downs in leinster.

Replying To Alwaysencourage: "If they started then those two players are obviously the best players in their positions and they were playing well.So it did of course make a difference." Again the point is that people are saying that's what decided the game when they were off however Annaghdown lost a valuable player as well and as you say 'best in his position' regardless of the performance of his replacement he's still viewed as the best player for the position.
It's more fair to say that losing Luc O'Connor and Ryan Flaherty for Claregalway was an equivalent loss to Annaghdown losing Olan Kelly earlier on

Sean Moran also played Galway U21.
Barry Goldrick, although injured, a Galway minor.
Kyle Long, Cillian Walsh, Jamie King all goalies involved in recent minor teams.
This isnt a slate Claregalway post but sometimes underage success isnt the be all and end all.
Look at Garrymore, Milltown to an extent. Its about being good senior players. Claregalway have to break that ceiling yet.
It seems Claregalway have been used to being strong at underage, the main men in the schools team in CBC, but really hasnt translated to senior 'success'.

I would like to see Cillian McDaid finish out his playing career with Dunkellin Gaels. He would obviously need to do his homework and see are the club going to last but it would be great for the club. The move would not be disrespectful to Monivea/Abbey.

They have done their part on the pitch. The County Board should be doing its part off it, but there is no proactive effort to improve things, and a serious lack of financial strategy and forward planning. What a mess we are in.

Would Banty being back be that bad for Monaghan football.
If he wasn't housing refugees someone else would, at least he would use it to back Monaghan football. Sometime he's portrayed as he's breaking the law, not his fault the government are firing money at him. I'm sure the players want him as they would be treated like professionals.
I don't think we should have him on the line but bring him in as a JP mc manus sort of figure. Money talks bigger and better managers get attracted therefore should drive Monaghan foward.
