Let's hope Laverty doesn't bring this blatant cheating to county setup. 3 ghost head injuries during black card time. Diving all over the place lying down. Bad bad acts
So you're saying you'd rather down lost a game being too nice rather than use every rule to your advantage? You're a fool if so

Let's look at what they done today...
Cheating by diving
Cheating by faking head injuries
Trying to take out glass in air
Ward stamp and feigning injury himself
Throwing punches at end when knew game was over
And lets look at what they have achieved
11 county titles in 13 years
2 ulster titles back to back
an all ireland against the odds
if any of what laverty can instill in some of these county players gets us over the line in ulster i think 99% of fans would take it

SHEEDY

All the haters taking great delight in kilcoo in getting beat, you can hate them for their antics at times or playing close to the wire but to claim they're a team of limited ability players is stretching it a big bit.
Hopefully Laverty can bring some of the Kilcoo will to win to the county set up.

Good effort as always by kilcoo. I cant see any other Down currently with the balls to make go at it in ulster so fair play to them...

The most basic team to ever win an all Ireland
No class and limited ability
All Ireland winners pretty much says it all.

Wasn't to be our day today. Great run by our fellas and they'll take a well earned break now. Couldn't be any prouder to be a Magpie. Well done to Glen on their win too.

Well done to Kilcoo
A brilliant team and long may it continue
Down were very poor last week but were worse tonight
Galway looked like they were in
2nd gear and still had the match won at half time
Young McIlroy looked so far off the pace it was frightening
I would be amazed if we beat Meath
What has happened Mooney?
Gary Mac done well in goals

Fairly changed your tune from February when you were singing our praises claiming we were a brilliant team.

Clutching calling us the most basic team to ever win an all Ireland 🤣🤣

For all the limited ability you say we have we are the top team in Down with 20 wins! Warrenpoint only have 3 unless I am mistaken?

Sure here, come back to us when Warrenpoint have won as many as we have lost...which is 5!

Baile an tuaigh

Hard luck Kilcoo incredible team. Won the ultimate prize and it can't be bettered. Their too good to go away anytime soon.

Yes they have achieved huge success which is unlikely to be repeated in Down over such a sustained period, but the reason the whole county can't get behind them when they play outside of Down is because of the cynical and dirty stuff, and all the other crap they bring when they are getting it tight.

It was good to see a better football team come out on top, and not get dragged in to the nonsense despite the relentless attempts of Kilcoo.

I would not say Glen are a better 'fotballing' side. they are a carbon copy of kilcoo but slightly more athletic in the right places and now coming into their prime years where as a lot of kilcoo team is verging on 30s if not already over

Anyone questioning the brilliance of this Kilcoo team is either just bitter or needs their head examined. No one has got near them in Down in a long time. They won the All Ireland last year, they are by far and away the best team in Ulster the last two years. It's easy to cite dirty tactics, cynical stuff etc when a team loses.

imtommygunn

I am not a fan but it is comical reading. If you take 3 Johnston brothers and Conor Laverty out of Kilcoo you have no outstanding players someone says. Is that saying they have 4 outstanding players?? It doesn't make any sense...

It's very easy to cite those things when they are winning too, but they tend to take it up a notch when they are losing. Fantastic team, some fantastic players, but not a team that is easy to get behind for a neutral.

"By far and away the best team in Ulster" for 2 years is a little disingenuous given they beat Glen and Carryduff in extra time last year (and Clonduff on pens, CPN in extra time this year). Hyperbole like that only serves to detract from what they have achieved as it takes away from how they battled through games to win.

A tough day at the pitch for Kilcoo. Their forwards didn't really fire like they normally do - I would've put money on Devlin putting the penalty away and Kane kicking the free over - but over the course of the game they didn't deserve the victory. Glen v Kilmacud is a massive fixture now. Kilcoo will take a well earned Christmas and reset in the new year - they are still the team to beat in down and others need to up their game to even get close to them in the coming years.

There is not a county team in Ireland that does not play the clock down when they have a player black carded. Probably the biggest flaw with the black card.
