Replying To sporto: "Corey got a 3 year term when appointed so still a year left on that, guessing if there is no news by now he's staying put" If Corey is staying, he needs to build a better relationship with the players and bring back a couple of players who walked away this year. He also needs to shake up his backroom team big time. If rumors are to be believed, it wasn't a good dressing room this year and that was definetly translated onto the pitch as the year went on. Monaghan did restore some pride against Galway though and could have won it, only for a a couple of good goal chances missed. Anyway, the target for 2025 has to be a return to Div 1 and at least a quarter final. Who will retire..? Nothing official about McManus yet but assume he will, if not, he's still a good man to spring from the bench if needed. I'd love to see Darren Hughes stay on for another year if fit, he was the best player we had against Cavan until his injury. I think we have another year or two left in O'Connell too. as regards club championship: Senior = Scotstown. (easy enough) Intermediate = Magheraloone Junior = Toome SouthMonMan (Monaghan) - Posts: 132 - 24/07/2024 16:12:18 2561276 Link

Replying To ORIELMAN85: "Senior..SCOTSTOWN and surrounding areas. Intermediate... TRUAGH. Junior... EIRE OG." We might even do the senior and junior double this year… veterngaa (Monaghan) - Posts: 492 - 24/07/2024 23:19:36 2561374 Link
Replying To veterngaa: "We might even do the senior and junior double this year…" Would be a great year for the Scotstown, Knocktallon, Tydavnet and Ballinode amalgamation to be fair. Winning a Junior championship should be expected considering Scotstown Juniors have more players available to them than Rockcorry, Killeevan, Oram and Currin have combined.

Whatever about winning a junior championship, anything less than an ulster club title will be another miserable failure for this group of players… even with the currin man, this current team wouldn't hold a candle to previous great scotstown teams who were all home grown…. mick2007 (Monaghan) - Posts: 468 - 25/07/2024 18:55:52 2561578 Link

Scotstown v Corduff in the league semi final tomorrow afternoon. Scotstown are raging hot favourites but it will be interesting to see how Corduff set up tactically. I'm not from Scotstown but can we please stop with the Scotstown bashing on the forum, Its taking over and is boring. We know the pick they have and the player transfers that happened, it is what it is, so lets just move on and talk football. Out of interest though, how many paid up club members are there in Scotstown.. ? or what is the breakdown per club in Monaghan ? it would be very interesting to see. Is that available anywhere ?

There's no doubt that Corduff will bring their usual approach, they will try to keep it tight, and hope they can hit Scotstown on the break. What Fergal Malone allows and doesn't allow coukd have a huge bearing on the result. And the Scotstown bashing isn't actually Scotstown bashing, but just directed at the their Veteran wind up merchant who belittles what every other club are doing.

Replying To KingdomOfBriefne: "I caught a few big ones in fairness" Admin, this account must surely be in breach of rules? Its obviously a poster using my username to post malicious stuff pretending to be me! KingdomofBreifne (Cavan) - Posts: 138 - 26/07/2024 13:17:03 2561740 Link
Replying To KingdomOfBriefne: "I caught a few big ones in fairness" 'I caught a few ones'. That's pretty sad 'Tom/veterangaa'. Did you forget that you were using this new account or did you forget that not to hide your identity when replying to a post that referenced you? I must have rattled you by revealing your other 'handle' as you'd say yourself. KingdomofBreifne (Cavan) - Posts: 138 - 26/07/2024 13:27:40 2561742 Link
Lads, apologies for posting so often on your forum. Generally, I'd prefer to keep the rivalry until the season starts. It's just that we're constantly bombarded with spam from Veterngaa/Tom on our forum and I felt that revealing their identity would quieten him. I'll let him at it for a while. He'll be busy, now that he's added a copy of this account to his ever growing army of 'handles'. KingdomofBreifne (Cavan) - Posts: 138 - 26/07/2024 14:01:08 2561760 Link
