Down Club Hurling & Football

The elephant in the room and key question.
On what grounds did Kilcoo appeal? What happened in the past that they felt they had justification for an appeal?

Ah now they could tell you anything in reply to that, the rest of the county know its because he doesnt fall for the head holding when theyre brought down and other forms of play acting and because 2 of their players were found to have been calling him in middle of night a few years back and insulting him that he may go against them. Even though he has done games they have won since (fact) but they dont like to have him in the championship. The real elephant in the room is the question of how,how when the county board dismissed the request, Ulster dismissed & DRA Croke Park dismissed..... was the referee replaced considering he did not step aside

Is it fact that PF did not step aside ?

Shocking what happened to faloon, on eof the best refs in ireland. I hear hes already been in contact within armagh circles about reffing there. I suppose you cant really blame him at all

As an outsider looking in, I'd also have a real issue with the referee that stepped up and done the game instead of backing the injustice to his fellow referee.

Plenty of people inside the county have an issue with it too. Annaclone should be ashamed of themselves

we will never know what shanigans went on behind the scenes, or will we.

Fcuk and I thought Armagh Clubs didn't like Cross! There are some wild unsubstantiated comments here. But if it is true that the Down board didn't back him then he'd be right to walk.

Occasionally Annaclone guys umpire for Faloon,  so Brian and his cohorts didn't completely consider this one.

Very bad from the annaclone club if they knew that some of their members umpire for faloon. Some mess around this all looking in from the outside

That's what I more less took from it?

'We are not happy with what Kilcoo done at all, but we bent over for them' would have been a shorter and easier read statement.
