It is a total farce. Been going on in Scotstown for year. I have heard that Truagh may have a little problem with their selection from the weekend. If clubs want to have 2nd teams in Junior, panels should have to be named at the start of the season with no movement allowed through the year. The carry on that is happening is the same as if Seans or Blackhill were able to bring in players from Harps and Blaney respectively during the season. The whole thing is a joke.

And this isn't changing anytime soon. Children living & going to school in neighbouring parishes have sought & got permission to play with Scotstown over this last number of years.

St Bridget don't play in the Monaghan championship mate. Also, name me a team in Monaghan with Bridget's quality to do that to Scotstown in Monaghan?

Very similar to what was happening with the faughs in the 90's and early 00's. Seems to be a reverse of that trend now with players moving from Blayney to smaller clubs round the area looking for game time

i wonder if you brought size into the equation rather than age to try and help the junior clubs...like we all know a physically developed player might play in the next age up but if you had lighter lads available for the age group below itd help with numbers...eg a 15 or 16 year old playing at under 14s...but must be of a certain weight / size...itd help the individual who could be a late bloomer get game time and also raise the quality of the younger fellas who would have to compete against more experience. i think new zealand does this with underage rugby but this is more for h&s reasons id guess MalsBalls (Monaghan) - Posts: 289 - 11/08/2026 12:10:53 2689439 Link 0 |

If he is gone or not he will definitely have to move on asap. Players looking him out how could he walk into a dressing room after this. McCauge the natural successor can't see county board touching the former Derry man farneygael3 (Monaghan) - Posts: 777 - 12/08/2026 13:34:34 2689566 Link 0 |

Was listening to the Monaghan GAA podcast that I do enjoy and was fascinated by the point made on the Scotstown goalkeeper situation, Cian Mohan backup to Rory Beggan played junior the last few years and has been very good for their team but due to Rory being out injured he's had to play in the senior championship, by rules that means he cannot play in this years junior championship or next years championship.

Has to be rules on it though, otherwise they can take complete advantage, for example an injured player coming back, drops down and plays a couple of junior championship matches which helps him back up to speed and play senior championship against clubs who don't have that luxury. There's no doubt that having that junior championship team has benefited their senior team. Probably a bit harsh that it carries into the following year though for the ineligibility.
