It was a hell of a game for a "farce".

Give me that football in 65% visibility over nearly any club game I watched this summer, every time.

each to their own, just think one of the biggest games in the club season deserved to be 'seen'. I honestly couldn't tell you if it was a good game or not.

I was at it yes visibility was poor but it was a cracking game and best team won glen deserved it bossed the whole first half.
Yes kilmacud had a grip of them in the last 15-20 mins but they deserved the win overall

Will Glenn v kilmacud be in newry maybe seems like a natural half way point

Very halfway yes, problem is its in ulster so might not be considered neutral
Although cushendall v OLG is in naval next week so who knows.

But Newry would be my shout aswell.

I think a heavier pitch would suit glen slightly easier to curb Walsh and mannion etc but the good old GAA prob stick it in Croker don't want kilmacud having to travel

Trillick v Scotstown is in Armagh

Glenties v glen is in Omagh I am hearing

Oso, I appreciate your frustrations are very raw but you are presenting an entirely one-sided view of the game. Don't take that personally btw, we're all guilty of it and it's human nature to focus solely on what went against you.

I'm not from Cargin! Why would my frustrations be raw? I'm calling it as I see it.

I follow all Antrim teams in Ulster.  But the referring and the agenda today just wasn't good enough.

Then it's odd. Some things went against Cargin today but no doubt Glen have a lock of things they could point to as well.
I mean, you point out that Cargin missed a couple of scoreable frees in the first half but don't mention that Glen missed a bagful of scoreable chances in the same period.
The sending off of Tomas was unfortunate. My view on it was through a screen and I have seen the different replays. While those aren't great and render it somewhat inconclusive, it's definitely understandable how the ref could have viewed it as a raised elbow to the face. Whether that is 100% accurate or not, it's not a ridiculous decision.

One thing doesn't help is the glen player is one of the smallest on the pitch. I think it looked worse than it was. Tomas was not helped in any part by the excessive rolling and head clutching of the glen player

[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.

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.

They played each other at Enniskillen in 2015.

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

It's getting into 🎠 merry-go-round time.
Any management changes been made or are imminent?

I'd expect at least a couple following the weekend results.

McCorry has left Burren. There's been a few other early changes under the radar.
I'd expect quite a few more movers over next few weeks.

I reckon they will give to Eoin Mccartan

Kilcoo were very good today and full value for the win. They deserve credit for the win after a poor first 10 mins and losing Jerome they really upped it. Few lovely scores from play from Aaron Bran and Morgan and PD.
watching the pace of burren players at county level like magill and Kerr I thought they would have caused kilcoo more problems.

Where will the Lavey men be next year?

All going back home, everyones hugged and made up I'm told.

I would assume some of them will be involved with Derry u20s and senior panels unless now they have transferred clubs maybe they might don the saffron jersey ??

St John's have done it 5 times.

Was that in the 70s/80s ?

Slaughtneil only club that comes to mind with such good teams in both codes.

Think it is a bit harsh on Conall, I imagine it was a difficult game to ref given the conditions, however I really do have concerns as to the fitness levels of our referees, outside of MR2(as much as it pains me to say  ) and McDonald do we have any other refs who can keep up with play? Even Lavery was stuggling badly on Saturday in a game which was played at a snail's pace


My biggest bug bear with Roberts is when games are played in poor conditions he seems to let lads engage in multiple scrums when the ball is being picked up. There is no consistency in those scenarios it seems to be a freefall. It was same in the aghagallon cargin final last year endless scenarios of lads just piling into scrums to pick it up some free kicks some not

The commentators weren't very complimentary of the Referee yesterday. Said he couldn't keep up with the play on numerous occasions. Some very harsh calls and some ridiculous calls were their exact words. Have to say, Ciaran McGourty is excellent.

conditions were awful it wouldn't have taken much more for the game to be called off

Fair play to Ahoghill.

Still 5 or 6 games left to sort out Div 1, long way to go the way everyone is picking up or dropping points. No one unbeatable, not much between a cluster of clubs who will give themselves at least a punchers chance in the forthcoming championships.

They do remarkably well in both codes for a small so credit where it is due.
In previous years they have been staving off relegation.

aghagllon did everything but win the game- should have won comfy but went asleep at the wheel the last 5

I see on Instagram the SV lads have decided to pull the plug on the Spotify you now must pay for the privilege of listening to them

Mcginley said big mccann wasnt even good enough for the squad last year? How many goals as he scored this year for Antrim?

But McGinley's got all Ireland medals so he's not allowed to be criticised.

Completely daft decision that was credit to him for his performances this year
