Replying To 222: "This has been so far a very good league for monaghan so far. A freshness to their football and a lot of meaningful game time to a new batch of players who are doing themself no harm. Division 2 has been a release valve our senior team that was badly needed. It is a winner takes all clash in navan in two weeks, not the end of the world if don't get promoted. Bannigan and co will be very happy." I think its important that Monaghan go straight back up to Div 1 this year. I'd rather go up and down from Div 1 and Div 2 each year (Like Roscommon tend to) then dwell in Div 2 for years or even risk going to Div 3. The first year in Div 2 is always the easiest to go back up from, as Roscommon/Armagh/Donegal/Tyrone all proved in the past. This is because you are one of the teams that got relegated the previous year, so only 1 other previous Div 1 team in competition. If you don't go back up in first year down, then you always have two very strong relegated teams to contend with thereafter. Its looking like Tyrone and Derry might be relegated this year from Div 1 and so that's two very strong teams to overcome next year. No reason Monaghan can't beat Meath and Down in last two games and give us a day out in Corke Park before Championship starts. SouthMonMan (Monaghan) - Posts: 146 - 03/03/2025 15:06:13 2594455 Link

Replying To Kimberlite: "I hope you had better luck with the parking than me. I parked at Ashleigh Heights, which was to the right of the car park outside the ground. When I came back to the car, some **** had ran a key or a blade across the entire right had side of the car. Did anyone else have this happen to their car or hear of more of this?"

Well lads will your top scorer so far in the league play in the forward now that he won't get a free reign in the other half of the field? RHF (Cavan) - Posts: 883 - 07/03/2025 14:11:15 2595239 Link
Replying To RHF: "Well lads will your top scorer so far in the league play in the forward now that he won't get a free reign in the other half of the field?" We have plenty of forwards unlike the other blues in ulster and more on the way over the next few years Farneyblueandwhite (Monaghan) - Posts: 33 - 07/03/2025 15:03:46 2595255 Link

Replying To RHF: "Well lads will your top scorer so far in the league play in the forward now that he won't get a free reign in the other half of the field?" I expect he'll just bang them over from just inside his own half now. Eddie the Exile (Monaghan) - Posts: 1169 - 07/03/2025 19:36:24 2595314 Link

That's true only point we got was against Monaghan in Clones it was a poor campaign from us, we'll surely do better next time. Royal.Legend (Meath) - Posts: 709 - 08/03/2025 19:29:32 2595431 Link

Replying To farneygael3: "Didn't know Lancaster had a hurling team. Disband and work at grassroots" Worst hurling team in the country by league ratings. veterngaa (Monaghan) - Posts: 734 - 08/03/2025 21:52:05 2595466 Link
We had a decent team from say 2013 to 2019 in the small ball regularly competing with donegal sligo and tyrone whos stakes have risen dramatically in the past few years. That team broke up but secured a lory Meagher to its credit. It looks very bleak now alright, probably lowest ranked team on the island. Unfortunately the game is at dead at club level and young players aren't enticed to play. Who do you blame? Only so much that can be done. 222 (UK) - Posts: 837 - 09/03/2025 09:30:22 2595498 Link
Replying To farneygael3: "Didn't know Lancaster had a hurling team. Disband and work at grassroots" If you were any sort of supporter of Monaghan GAA you would realise we beat Lancashire (not Lancaster) in Croke park to win a championship a few years back. So they are half decent. Lancashire have a students from all the strong counties playing for them so they'll have got more underage exposure than all our lads. We only got underage teams going again the last few years. As a result I suspect there will be a gap in players coming through. This could get worse before it gets better. On the plus side our u20's won their league today. Quick check shows that a number have played senior league already this year. Hurling is in a rebuild phase. No need for the barstool barons on here to be jumping up and down. Better to get the should to the wheel. MrPBoylan (Monaghan) - Posts: 233 - 09/03/2025 16:08:32 2595564 Link
