Game might be at risk today. Freezing fog in Newry this morning. I'm sure there will be a pitch inspection at some stage this morning

Game is later in afternoon, I'd say if it was the early game possibly but ground should be grand.

Crokes to win this by 3 points, they look better than last year, Glen are better for McFaul but just feel this could get ugly.

No love lost here, plenty cards and a sending off
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

If this game was a final in Croke Park I would fancy Kilmacud. They are road tested and have more quality up front than any other team left in the competition. However I think Glen have a decent chance today playing on a winter pitch in an Ulster ground with a chip on their shoulder from last season. That said they will have to produce a display better than we have seen from them in the Ulster championship this season to date. I think they might edge it but a lot will depend on the display of Glass who needs a big game.

In the other semi final I fancy St Brigids to beat Castlehaven. They impressed against Corofin in the Connacht final and if Glen can take Kilmacud out today, I think they would have a very good chance of going all the way as they have a few good forwards that should suit Croke Park.

Massive advantage for the Crokes if it's foggy; they'll be able to play as many as they want and it will be impossible to count them.

Crokes have a forward unit any county in the land would want, Glen stronger in defence and midfield I think... Will be a serious battle, glad it's not being played in CP

Newry looks very touch and go judging by the TG4 pictures.  Maybe it looks worse on tv.  Very subjective decision for a ref to make.
MR2 is there a rule of thumb with fog?

Damian O'Meara from RTE tweeting that the fog is lifting in the last 5 minutes and visibility and pitch is now pretty good.

One half of The pitch in Thurles looks frozen hopefully no injuries on it.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Connacht club football can be divided into 2 phases. Pre 1997 and post 1997.
Corofin won the first club all Ireland in 1998 and opened the door to other Connacht teams.
from Roscommon, Clann heartbreakingly lost multiple club finals in the 80s but neighbours  St Brigids won the great prize in 2013 and they could win it again this year. There is nothing like a winning tradition.

Surely should have been a free out for over carrying instead of a goal?

St Brigids in control in the opening 15 minutes.  Castlehaven 0-2 St Brigids 1-4
