Ulster Club SFC 2023

[grounded]

What a finish. Rory Beggan worth his weight in Gold.
  I actually really enjoyed the the second half.

Agreed... What a player. Great finish

He'd be playing out the field for an awful lot of clubs and still be one of their best players.

Got to say after watching that, out of the two teams i could only see Scotstown putting up a meaningful challenge to Glen(should Scotstown progress against Trillick).
    Glen would choke the life out of Kilcoo, same as last year.

Was slapping the stand and shouting UTM for an hour not enough to see the magpies over the line? You love to see it. Well done Scotstown.

Glen, Cullyhanna, Arva for me now

Was a single magpie sort of day for Kilcoo.

[mrdeeds]

Naomh Conaill absolutely stole that with last kick of the game. Gowna looked to have done just enough. 2 point lead always a dangerous one

Glenties poor or Gowna better than I thought initially?

Glenties were fairly poor but they nicked the win. Just far too negative. Gowna will be hurt bad by that but they threw it away at the end

Gowna will be back. A ridiculously young team. 9 or 10 starters 21 or younger.

Where would you play the Trillick v Scotstown semi. Toss up between Enniskillen or Armagh?

Glen v NC a cert for Omagh I'd say.

They played each other at Enniskillen in 2015.

Echoing the sentiments of the whole country (except anyone from Kilcoo) I was very glad to see them get knocked out.

The advanced mark though is absolutely shite in its current form. There was no real skill involved in that cross field pass to Hughes that he caught easily. Yes he nailed the kick and it was a great score but it  just feels wrong that he gets a free for something not patirculary skilful and definitely not in the spirit of the rule.

True but the lesson is mark your man not filter men back into mark space. I'm delighted that's how they were bet. Shower of whingers

I'm surprised the mark is not used like this a lot more- especially with boys who can kick from range.

It's not used more often like this as most teams don't have boys who can kick from range.

Enniskillen on geographic grounds. Sure Trillick is nearer Enniskillen than Omagh and Scotstown is not a pile further away.

Trillick v Scotstown could be in Armagh although it is closer to Scotstown

I see a lot of mixed reaction over Tomas McCann's red card - hard to see without a different angle if his elbow or shoulder connected with the glen man's face.

Long range? You only have to kick it 20 meters I think, if you can't kick a ball 20 meters you're fuvked

Think he means have a shot on goal not doing a 20m pass

He means from the mark position, like Hughes today. A lot of players can't make that shot after the mark

Yeah that's what I mean.

The mark that Beggan set up with a 15m kick to the D is the one that any footballer should fancy taking on.

I reckon 90% of club players would go backwards or sideways from where Hughes kicked his. Most of us don't have 40m kicks in us, let alone under pressure.
