Personally I think Creggan should take their salt. They weren't good enough to beat LD on the day so let it go.

Again, bollox. The game was level. The extra man they had presented the opportunity in a counter attack to have an extra body we could numerically never match, hence the free player for the score.

Can we get a box of tissues delivered for DK?

Could do with one or 2 boxes maybe. Micko Herron & Paddy C at 40 + years of age destroying the defence of Creggan and them complaining about it. I'd sit this one out if I were Creggan.

Which one of the two was playing as the spare man when LD had 16 men on the pitch?

I would be asking more about the two fellas from Kickams who marked them for 80 plus minutes

I have a long standing expertise in   Antrim Football, and have to say if Creggan had 17 playing they still wouldn't have beat lamh dearg

Dunloy have earned their stripes to play in the senior championship. The fact that their league and championship team is different is no fault of their own.

If they had of been beat out the gate on Sunday you could've said last year was a fluke. Not the case.

Dunloy far from the only club who field league teams greatly different to their first choice championship team.

And why league form not a great gauge for championship.

there's few teams about anywhere who'd have as much of a difference between their leagie form and championship form. While the relegation does appear a complete mess they are a hard one to cater for. They are borderline a junior team leaguewise.

How many clubs lose the calibre of players that dunloy lose due to county commitments? Not leaving off their own back, playing for their county.

Heard that Creggan were back out training last night!

What's LDs view? Will they contest there were 16 men on the pitch at the time?

You'de assume though that someone has got video evidence that Creggan now have access to before they would lodge an appeal!

Word on the street PG1 representatives tipped off creggan after seeing the vidoes of the game. Apparently fear was too large in the camp of facing PC13 again.

Well can look to that brigids team who have about 9 county players and won the league?

[bannside]

So Creggan were waiting on PG1 showing them some video. Now that's what I call a stretch..but hey,I wasn't at it and tbh I'd say PG1 wouldn't have any preference whether they were playing either club..both tough opponents. But don't let that spoil a good story.

Ps, Creggan gave PG1 a right touch in a recent league game.

[Saffsontop]

Won by a lot in a league match? I didn't know that. They must be heavy favourites for this semi then? Someone should alert the bookies in case they price it wrong. Sounds like they should be 1/10 because they won the league match.

About 9 sounds ridiculously exaggerated all the same.

[bannside]

As I said before, either would/will be tough proposition. All tough matches at this stage...
