QUality football played by your boys especially considering the hard conditions. Mattie Blinkhorn was superb first half I though.

Was a good day for us yesterday, advertised our grounds/clubhouse etc and made a few bob while we were at it! The cups were a nice touch and Tom Ketterick opening the dressing rooms was also appropriate.

Monaghan aren't that bad...

Bray and Mons is off Tuesday...anything to do with a wall I wonder.

On a serious note, would this indicate that Monaghan are replacing Fingal and therefore don't want to face Premier opposition so close to the start of the season?

One of our lads (Eric Foley) got quite badly hurt in one of the sending off incidents but I feel more sorry for one of the medics who carried him off coz he apparently then had a heartattack in the first aid room. Hope he is ok.

Jaysus. Fingers crossed.

Had no Idea this game was on. Drove down to Kiltipper and was wondering why the lights were on.

Not the worst pre-season game I've been to by any stretch with a half strength Rovers with some of the same creativity problems as last season...

I'm also duty-bound to inform that Magicme was in no way under the influence of alcohol during the game. Not at all, no way, not a single drop. :wink:

The Rovers player (McCormack) was given a straight red card for this challenge by that gobsh�te Richie Winter. He will now have to serve a suspension in a competitive match.

You're asking us to judge a tackle by one photo?
14/02/2011, 4:14 PM

If he misses the ball and keeps his studs showing it's a red.

Also, I'm pretty sure Mr.Winter will even things out over the season.

and one clearly doctored photo at that.

(first such reference of the new season - feels good)

Photo doesn't show much than McCormack nearer the ball. Not whether he lunged in, from memory, McCormack came from much further away, whether his studs went over the ball, caught the man or whether he was in control of the tackle

Rubbish, dunno what you mean by that, this photo from another angle clearly shows the intent. I await your apology.

Instead of Dungannon, we're now playing Loughgall.
Which is somewhere sort of near Armagh City. Apparently.

Seems like a lot of clubs are struggling to get friendlies played. Could mean some sides go into the season a bit undercooked.

Think there's been a few, eh, unreported "training session" v local sides. No huge costs on referees etc.
