Ulster Club SFC 2018

[From the Bunker]

Ah right, knew they had an injection of youth but didn't know it was to that extent. Seems like they've a perfect blend of youth and experience this year and they took their opportunity well.

Hard luck to Scotstown/An Bhoth

Unlucky against both Cross and GD. But you have to seize the moment

« As the years went on you would say to yourself I'm sorry I didn't do this or that. If you were to go back a second time you would play different really. You would do different things . But you don't get a second chance. «

What was he thinking?

What has Enda Varley thoughts from the 2013 All Ireland final have to do with anything?

He should have held onto the ball and had a go himself. What the sh1te was he doing handing over the last free of the game to the youngest Mayo player on the pitch?

That youngest player happened to be Mayo's top scorer over the last number of years. Do you Mayo lads spent the winter watching re-runs of the lost All Ireland finals?

oh yawn, you purposefully missed the theme of the post. Which meant that I purposefully replied with a bogus reply!

Every county has those coulda shoulda woulda moments but losing isn't usually about moments. It's about players not performing. Whereas if you win by a point everyone played well...

[straightred]

Cassidy is a great focal point for any forward line - played really well.

Best refereeing display I have seen in a long time

Omagh is still a hellhole of a pitch

Atmosphere in last 5mins of normal time was as good as I have heard in a club game

McGee's are nearing the end - heavy pitch and ET really showed on them

D Hughes was fantastic and has a superb engine

No 7 for Gweedore is a horrible player. Have watched Gweedore 3 times this year and the diving, yapping, goading other playing is worse than any other player I have seen.

Looking forward to Gweedore v Corofin - fascinating battle

Odhran is a once in a generation player. So stylish on the ball

Carey fully deserved to be sent off - will be a sick lad today

Thought it was an epic battle on a rotten day on a rotten pitch. Both sides deserve huge credit for the shifts they put in. If ever a draw was the fairest outcome this was it but there has to be a winner.

Surprised  Mac Niallais got MOTM. I know he got scores at crucial times but i'd have had cassidy and oCearbhail ahead of him and also mcardle and d hughes from Scotstown. D Hughes was outstanding. Carey will be sick about the red but he had 6 points on the day - played very well.

Agree about the #7. He didn't stop all day and the linesman should be helping the ref there. He blocked k hughes off the ball at one stage and it should have been a close in free. I wouldnt blame the ref as it was right in front of the linesman.

Omagh and rain don't mix.... hopefully the ulster council will take note. Games of this importance shouldn't be played on a bog.

Finally.... i fancy Gweedore to go all the way. If they go easy on the sauce over the winter they're as good as anyone left in it. That scotstown team is still young enough too. No reason they can't bounce back.

Why do people call them Gweedore? It is not their name.
Gaoth Dobhair. They are proud Gaelgeoiri and they have a Raidio na Gaeltachta station.
The NI gov wiped out the Gaeilge in NI but it still thrives elsewhere in the province.

6/1 there are if you really fancy them.

It didn't wipe it out.

It wiped out the Gaeltacht areas where there was linguistic continuity, like in the Sperrins. The Protestant state for a Protestant people didn't like it.
Then there was a revival

The flag at the trophy presentation said 'Gweedore', and that was obviously a local fan.

Radio na Gaeltachta is a complete white elephant - after years of utterly horrendous figures in the JNLR they pulled out of it - the fact that they were getting trounced in every one of the Gaeltacht areas by the local English language radio stations really exposed how low the actual real-world demand was for RnG. The RnG strategy nowadays seems to be keep the head down and hope no-one asks any awkward questions about the fact that millions of Euros are being spent every year on an absolutely tiny listenership.

They had a listenership of 100,000 in 2011
And they have  global reach

Worth every cent

The state of them two boys!

Class stuff!

[imtommygunn]

They're still at it. Going to be some hangover!  Wonder what cassidy said to the wife before he left on Sunday lol.

Away to the game love. You might not see me for a while

Everything in the world is not about money. This is the problem with the Celtic tiger child.
