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 FarneyView (Monaghan) - Posts: 4 - 30/03/2025 16:48:02 2599489 Link

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 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. SoNearYetSoFarney (Monaghan) - Posts: 56 - 30/03/2025 19:06:28 2599525 Link
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 farneygael3 (Monaghan) - Posts: 161 - 30/03/2025 19:32:11 2599536 Link

Replying To Farneyblueandwhite: "The day that monaghan beat a Tyrone donegal kerry dublin mayo or Galway in a knockout championship match in croker is the day when we're going somewhere this is what's needed in monaghan not div 1 in the league we were there for 10 years and won nothing we need to get to that level and finally compete at the Real top table nobody will remember what league your come may June july" That's the acid test alright.

This is a new Monaghan team that should be carrying no baggage from the past, unlike your good self. They've done little wrong to date and with a few defensive tweaks, and additions, McCaul, Lavelle etc. I think there is potentially an All Ireland in them down the line There is one thing for sure, come July no team from Div 3 or 4 will win Sam. Play regularly against the best to beat the best. Division 1 is the place for us, or any small county, if we have any aspirations for championship success IMO mhunicean_abu (Monaghan) - Posts: 1062 - 31/03/2025 00:44:28 2599594 Link
