Replying To eirekeeper: "In all fairness, why would Jim Gavin come to Monaghan? Galway a far more appealing prospect and would have the finances to back it up." Why would you want Jim Gavin? That ship has sailed. ORIELMAN85 (Monaghan) - Posts: 1269 - 13/10/2026 16:13:40 2697199 Link
Replying To MonaghanMan44life: "Emyvale must be the biggest flops in Monaghan football. The talent in that group and they constantly underperform" Bit harsh on their performances this year... Only up from junior (whether or not they should have been in junior is a different story) finished 3rd in league and beating by the eventually winners in the knockouts (correct me if wrong) Semi final in championship against Donaghmoyne, and the game turned in a matter of seconds. 2 county men on the bench who weren't fit for a full match which easily could have tipped game in their favour. I'd say overall they'll be relatively happy with their season. currinman (Monaghan) - Posts: 52 - 14/10/2026 17:54:00 2697322 Link

They will be in Junior again before there in Senior and then they will celebrate walking junior as if they actually have achieved something. Rinse and repeat. younggun08 (Monaghan) - Posts: 53 - 15/10/2026 09:30:32 2697370 Link

The team has loads of quality and are seemingly happy with being competitive in intermediate. Theres senior teams with less quality, less county men and a worse age profile that are punching well above their weight. To my knowledge, Emyvale have 5 county senior players (6 if Conor Forde could be bothered) & 3 from this years u20 team. If that doesn't reflect underperforming what does?

Replying To seanie08: "€19.99 to watch county final on clubber. God bless the dodgy box" You've got a good one if ye can still get Clubber. Everyone seems to be blocked from watching Clubber on theirs. So a friend told me. countymonaghan (Monaghan) - Posts: 355 - 16/10/2026 10:43:27 2697508 Link
Did a bit of research before junior final. What is the story with Drumhowan. Not a good sign winning so many junior championships Won junior Double in 2006. Relegated in 07. Won Junior in 08 & Ulster Won intermediate league & lost championship final in 09 Relegated from senior then intermediate in 10 and 11 Won junior in 2012 Relegated the following year Won in 2014. Relegated the following year Won in 2024. Relegated last year Won league and probably championship this year. For the last 20 years they have won 10 cups. Yet haven't remained in senior or intermediate for two consecutive years. Poor from them Farneyarmy2013 (Monaghan) - Posts: 89 - 16/10/2026 11:53:00 2697519 Link

It's a big step up from junior to intermediate Monaghanmad123 (Monaghan) - Posts: 75 - 16/10/2026 12:37:19 2697529 Link

Replying To farneygael3: "14 in a row county final appearances this weekend for Scotstown. Surely in a national record at this stage?" In Monaghan it must be along. Did crossmaglen beat this themselves in the 90s and 2000s , any other teams nationally? 222 (UK) - Posts: 976 - 16/10/2026 14:50:48 2697559 Link
