McManus: Farney still a threat

NO Banty, no Freemans. No hope?

The impression of Monaghan ahead of Sunday’s meeting with Tyrone is certainly one of a side well past its sell-by-date but forward Conor McManus doesn’t go along with the consensus that the county’s best chance of silverware lies behind them.

“Maybe seven or eight years ago Monaghan football wasn’t in a very good place but I think being up here and playing along with these Tyrone boys and Down boys and so on, you know you are every bit as good as them,” says McManus.
