Standard protocol when on a losing run… run down the players, run down the management.
Best to ignore. They're only on here because nobody else will listen to their rant.

Haven't been the best Farney Army member in recent years but it is the first topic of conversation with people from home.
It's a badge of honour to be a Farney supporter… This year or next won't change that sentiment!

Replying To Totalballer:  "The bitterness and bile been spewed out on this forum about players that give up there free time to train 4 or 5 nights a week, along with playing matches going to meetings going to juvenile awards around clubs to talk or help hand out awards. Also all the hours these lads rack up doing there own individual work away from the panel.
Yet we have lads on here running them down every day no wonder they have looked deflated the last couple of games.
Most people on here i would say have never helped coach a juvenile team or joined a committee in their own club to know the amount of work that goes on to make sure everything runs well.
Any player that pulls on the Monaghan Jersey at any level will always have my respect even if they come from my rival club doesn't matter if it's juvenile, ladies, camogie, hurling or football they all put in a serious time and effort.
I hope they all enjoy the well deserved holiday it's the least they deserve for the time and effort they give to Monaghan Gaa."
I don't think anyone is criticising players effort and commitment

Replying To ConyersHill04:  "Not disputing your first point, but if you think its acceptable how money has been dealt with at County Board Level regarding Cloghan, that is concerning."
Why? What happened the money in Cloghan? Waiting with bated breath to hear the answer from a guy who seemingly knows all.

Firstly, as much as I am unhappy with the situation, I will not be airing the counties dirty laundry online. Secondly, you stated that boyos complaining about Cloghan, you wonder how much they've contributed? Regardless of whether they're a club stalwart or passive supporters they are entitled to their opinion on the state of affairs within our county be that the form of the county team or at board level.

Finally, I definitely don't know all, far from it actually, bit of an eejit in fact. But thankfully, I'm not self righteous or arrogant. Know all? maybe look in the mirror buddy.

What do would you like everyone to do? Praise them?. Just because they play and manage the county dosent mean there immune to criticism

Try starting to deal in facts, and not in gossip.

anyway back to brass tax...i personally dont have much interest in club at this time of year and would prefer to focus on the county...whats everyones thoughts for Galway game...obviously we need a bit more pace and urgency...i do believe we have a good squad and its littered with genuine talent - we need to remember that we are in division 1 on merit and we need to start playing that way...presumably we're getting relegated but the monaghan team I want is the one that goes down fighting at this stage

When we are winning we don't want to be patronised as a small county, when we loose we run with excuses small county don't be to hard on us, players immune from criticism. The indo podcast with micheal verney was good during the week about this. League has been poor, awful performances and to many injuries. Should we wait until summer for judgment? Yes most definitely. Are the players entitled to a holiday? Yes but the pressure is now on management to get performances and results from here on in.
