A GOAL EITHER side of half-time from Dermot Gleeson and David Garland sent Ulster champions Monaghan into the EirGrid U21 provincial quarter-finals at the expense of Antrim tonight.
The Farney take on Derry next Wednesday night following their 2-14 to 0-16 win in an entertaining encounter.
The sides were level at the interval, 1-6 to 0-9, with Seamus McGarry and Micheal Bannigan among the scorers for either team.
Brannigan, who won an All-Ireland Freshers title with DCU last week, was on target again after the break before Garland’s 44th minute goal send Monaghan into a lead they wouldn’t surrender.
Meanwhile in Leinster, Laois advanced to the last four after a 2-13 to 1-8 defeat of Louth in O’Moore Park.
The O’Moore county lost David Connolly to a straight red card midway through the first-half, but goals from Sean Moore and Colm Murphy left them leading by 2-7 to 1-4 at half-time.
Louth’s senior star Ryan Burns finished with 1-4, including 1-1 from play, but just three other players from the Wee county hit the target.
Moore kept the scoreboard ticking over for Laois, finishing with 1-8, as they cruised to the win.
Laois will play Offaly in the EirGrid U21 Leinster semi-final next Wednesday night at Netwatch Cullen Park, Carlow.
Shambles.
@Brian Dunne: what is going on
@robbie Delaney: nobody seems to know robbie, least of all ineos it would seem!
@Brian Dunne: An utter shambles Brian, and still the Glazers lining their pockets.
@Brian Dunne: if it was him who signed off Zirkzee deal he should be fired. Worst player I have seen play for United and that’s saying something given some of our recent signings
@Dec: bit harsh he scored twice v everton and anthony comes to mind
Basket Case FC
And its still the Glaziers fault ??
@Michael Carroll: it was always their fault
Everyone kept laughing at Chelsea when they kept hiring and firing players and managers. Nobody is laughing now. Dan Ashworth badly botched his first transfer window. 200m spent did not improve the team.
@Caolan Z: why what have Chelsea done since
@Caolan Z: man u are finished
So change the sporting director and all will be well it seems.
@Bert Carolan: well he was the teapot who signed the most recent duds and extended ten hags contact. Radcliffe won’t tolerate that
@anthony davoren: Did Radcliffe not appoint him?
Will be looking for a new manager shortly
@Hugh Casey:great insight there Hugh. Please explain your deep understanding and reasoning to us all
@Dessie: some patterns are easy to follow.
@Hugh Casey: when
A catalogue of bad decisions at Utd. The most recent being the hire of an unquestionably gifted manager, to manage a squad that in no way suits how he plays.
@Phil McCabe: I assume that’s how it normally works ..then the manager acquires player’s that suits his style to compliment the existing players who can adapt. Then cut loose the players that are unable to adapt.
@Phil McCabe: apparently one of the reasons Liverpool knocked him back, he was uncompromising about playing 3 at the back, best of luck with that lads!
@damien leen: so what your saying is liverpool wanted a manager that played 3 at the back but not want him to play 3 at the back. Sounds like you were in the room when them decisions were made
@anthony davoren: now now Anthony there is no need to speak sense on this forum, we have a few people that will hurt their wee heads reading your comments.
@anthony davoren: sure, that makes sense, but the amount of money they’ve wasted in the last 6 months alone is shocking. Sir Jim needs to change the culture and this sacking must be part of that change.
Jesus these football teams show no patience
