Ht 1-1

Sorry laptop crashed. 2-1 to Mons now. Haran 48th min

Dammit. Kildare just equalised. Kilduff again 56 min

Kildare 3-2 up. Murray 62nd min

Kildare applying pressure now. They just had a corner go over the bar and now have a throw in from well inside Mons half.

Mons coming back into it. Hopfully find the equaliser as we are now attacking with great gusto again!

Hanaphy equalised for 79th min after some exciting play. Mons were awarded a penalty but the keeper saved it. Kildare down to 10 men. O'Connell sent off.

Mons free from edge of box now but headed over.

Really cracking game.

who misse dthe peno JA!

Cathal O'Connor. He had scored the earlier pen for us but keeper just got fingers to that one.

cheers JA!

*resists the urge to shout 'C'mon Mons!'*

aw go on atfconline, you will feel better bout it if you cheer us on. Sure you once had "I love Monaghan" written on you in permanent marker! I know your a Mons fan in disguise!! :D

United throwing everything at them now and were very close to taking the lead again there.

Ft 3-3

A draw does us, that's Kildare confirmed as the last placed team.

Unreal game. We have now scored 11 goals in last 3 games! Our defence has been pretty solid all season but now we are begining to score too. Watch out Sporting!

2 pages on a Monaghan/Kildare game:eek:...this place has really gone downhill.

Was an entertaining match sligoman!

It was Barry Slattery that scored the first goal, amazing game though, had everything in it not sure about either of the penalties and definately not a red card (which can't be apealed as it was two yellows). Time to prepare for Mervue I suppose unless Athlone have played unregistered players when they beat us 3-0 and that result gets turned around :p

Nice to have our own wee thread though don't see that happen much

Yeah was told that afterwards that it was slattery, sorry bout that! Was my mini me that was doing the reporting at that stage though in my defence!

What's the feeling about dropping to the "A" Championship in Kildare, Christo. Does the club have a contingency plan? Would it make much material difference other than a couple of players leaving?

Not sure if the club does have any plans, we have very few players left that aren't amatuer so they would leave but that wouldn't matter too much.

But ever the optimist I don't think that Mervue will beat us in the play-off, Cousins has improved the team since he moved in...hopefully anyway
