Replying To Monaghangaalover:  "That's harsh. John mc menamin is a great find for them. Very knowledgeable and experienced coach. Has taken carrick juvenile teams over the years aswell as seniors, down in Louth for a year and now this. I'd be watching them closely."
The truth can be harsh sometimes, it wouldn't be hard for him or anyone for that matter to improve them, I think they only won one game last year so won't be hard to improve on that….

Replying To 222:  "Not a good sign when club football dominates the forum in February. Maybe a sign that our County team are not up to much. Anyway back to croker at the weekend against a flattering dublin team. Whoever loses this surely are gone. We have a strong record against the dubs in league winning in 18 19 22 and 24. Our defence needs to tighten up, I'd imagine a few of the ballyboden lads will come back in. I'll give us a punters chance to overturn them once again providing the scotstown lads all start."
Beggan and O' toole will start, McCarthy still injured and obviously a big miss… jack is a impact sub at best.. considering the other lads are staying with the u20s and rightly so I'm not sure who else your referring too that is anywhere near div 1 standard….

Replying To veterngaa:  "Blame the 5 parishes even though they are one parish .. give out about them winning on the high stool and do nothing in their own club …

Cheer them on in a Monaghan jerseys…

Blame junior football on Scotstown town..

I suppose the hurling team performances will be blamed too as Scotstown don't have a hurling team ..

Rinse and repeat on this forum."
Your all Ireland final vs the half interested version of Dublin is this weekend. Chin up, you'll get to play us in div 2 next year Tom.

Speaking of the Hurlers, is there a bigger waste of funds to be found in the county?
An absolute waste of resources

Dubs haven't had a great start to the league but they gave donegal a good rattle in croke park so I wouldn't be hugely confident about our chances here. We will probably stay with them for an hour but id expect them to pull away in last 10. Bar the players we are missing some injured some self enforced by mgmt we just dont look in the right condition for div 1 football. Think we will go down and might just might get a morale booster of a victory over a Galway or Donegal in last match to ease our passage.

probably a fair comment even though im not sure its coming from the right place...dublin is our best chance of a victory in the league IMO but they are hungry for a win now with a new manager trying to coheres a team into clicking...it should be a good night and the meath and louth heads might help us along against their own noisy neighbour

is it a must-win? no...will i celebrate it if we do win - absolutely...not as much as i hope to celebrate in april mind in our ulster clash ;-)

We always perform against the Dubs in the league, I'm not saying it's a given but this result is certainly manageable.

just after listening to Jamie O'Connor on the Gaa social podcast. he said forget about hurling in Cavan and Monaghan. invest the money in the traditional hurling counties .

Interesting you say 'hope' to celebrate in April. I expect to celebrate after we beat you. You should be competitive against Dublin at the weekend.
