Andy Morgan typifies monaghan football all in the past just like a lot of players who should be still in with a shout for our county team mohan mcbennett conor Boyle .... the list goes on ,players who on there day could make a real difference in us been a top 4 team instead of a top 10 team small county but we make it smaller by dropping players the likes of mohan and mcbennett was the difference in us not getting to an all ireland semi in the last 2 years because we got wiped at midfield yes mohan was there last year but got injured mid way through the donegal q final but we had no one to replace him but again people will scoff and say ahh yesterday's men how many opportunities are we going to pass because there was never a better time in the last 40 years to get to an all ireland its a level playing field in 2027 because of new rules, its up to whoever gets there ducks in a row, if monaghan can increase our physicality and height we a have a brilliant chance next year in div 2 to bring height and physicality to the team and develop them over 10 matches we can make an all ireland for sure Farneyblueandwhite (Monaghan) - Posts: 220 - 29/07/2026 15:27:13 2688036 Link 0 |

The championship and league winners go up. If the same team wins both then its the two finalists of the league and championship go up with them. If the same teams meet in both finals the two other championship semi finalists play in a playoff to decide who gets up. Relegation- Loser of league relegation plays the the team placed lowest in the championship relegation. Cremartin and Eire og both lost their relegation finals so they will have to play a playoff at end of year unless they win the championship which is not going to happen.

Just saw they have now secured the Reserve 1B trophy with their second team and Reserve 3B with their 3rd team. That group of minors last year seems to be adding something to the whole set up and giving some motivation to the club. Hoping they can bring something to the Senior Championship and put some pressure on Scotstown. I think Maghercloone may add some pressure this year also but time will tell. Corduff, Truagh, Cremartin are going to Struggle I think to get out of their groups. countymonaghan (Monaghan) - Posts: 343 - 30/07/2026 08:10:42 2688105 Link 0 |

Truagh, Corduff and cremartin will be ok. Sure Blayney won't win another game all season apparently updafaughs (Monaghan) - Posts: 182 - 30/07/2026 13:20:06 2688164 Link 0 |

I think all the talk about height and size was put to bed by mayo. Kerry had all the size and power and won more kickouts in the final but mayo had good footballers and a serious work rate and they won an all Ireland FarneyFan11 (Monaghan) - Posts: 25 - 30/07/2026 19:30:47 2688222 Link 0 |

Scotstown will win easy Drumhowan - very youthful can see them by 4/5 points Killanny - if Eddie Walsh back to full strength should be ok but still concerning missing a few men , notable county hurler Kevin Crawley , big miss for team, chat to man other day told Me he is down living in Australia now playing second division Aussie rules , great to see another export from Monaghan football competing down under Southmonaghanbandit (Monaghan) - Posts: 1 - 31/07/2026 00:46:14 2688236 Link 0 |

It's not that they won't win blaney are just badly set up tactically and are underachieving. Should have beaten Scotstowns second team last weekend. Would have been a big achievement to get to a senior final but now have to see can they do it in championship

Mayo victory does not dress up the fact that we got wiped at midfield in the last 2 q finals handy wee team a louth man said to me coming out of croke park hard to argue

I see most people are predicting drumhowan for the junior final and rightly so. What I can't understand is how they only have one county player even though they are clearly held in high regard by most people on this forum. They remind me of this current mayo team. They work hard, press high and have 4 or 5 tasty forwards that could get into most county teams in the country. Maybe GB might call up one or two next year if he's at the junior final MonGaa123 (Monaghan) - Posts: 30 - 31/07/2026 12:32:44 2688275 Link 0 |

I hope you're not trying to say that drumhowan have 4 or 5 tasty forwards, I would say that is their weak point of their team by far, Tom Doherty,Caolan Reilly,Patrick Quinn and Mcelerney, and the other Quinns are the backbone to team. They do lack forwards in quality but the likes of Aodhan Brennan on his day is a joy to watch but unlucky with injuries, but isn't county level. Junior will be poor next year anyway…..
