full back i can't for the likes of me fathom how you think they are 4 clear cut games. You could be excused for thinking the og's match would be, but the other 3 are potentially sticky wickets. The favourites would be Cross, Killeavy and to be honest i couldn't call the harps game. That would be my opinion of it anyway. I am sure there would be a few guys that would agree.
I never forget a face but in your case I will make an exception.

I would be one that would agree, and even at that the Ogs game will certainly not be one way traffic, Granemore are a good wee side when they get going,

boys is there any semi final pairings yet or wil it be another draw?

no disrespect to g-more and clan E but i fancy ogs and killeavy to get thru easily...cross/clansand us/harps should be two good games.Mark Quinn wil be home for that one-he is home for his bro weddin so that wil be a bonus to us
Nice guys always finish second!

Ah FFS winsam, you have said some daft things on this board, but if you cant fathom how or why I think Cross will beat Clans then I give up

In fairness FB thats only one of four games - you said all four are clear cut and winsam was merely stating that they arent. Which in my opinion is correct.

full back

Killeavey
Cross

Yeah,
Holmes will be a brave miss, but they will be too strong overall

Full back when you say that things are clear cut you mean that they will be easy wins. I am saying that bar the Og's match IMO the other games will be difficult to call. I would fancy Cross simply because of their record but it certainly will not be easy game, If you think he Clans will come out and lie down then you know a different clans team that i do. Harps and Mullaghbawn to me is a toss of a coin and Killeavy versus Clann Eireann will be a tight enough game aswell. If you think this is way off the mark then i don't know what games you watch during the year. As you can see there has already been a few posters that have agreed with me so we can't all be seing things.

No one said you are going to lie down, dont be so paranoid.

When you last met in a county final Cross were the superior team. Allowing for the sending off, they would still have won.IMHO Clans have gone back from them while Cross have stayed the same or improved.

Pearse Og's beat Tir na Nog comprehensively who are sitting close to the top of the league Granemore are in.

Killeavey will be too strong for Clann Eireann. C Eireann have no one who can mark Mc Donnell & indeed Killeavey have hit form at the right time in the season.

Harps are a physically bigger team than Mullaghbawn all over the field. Mullaghbawn are rarely beaten by big scores as they are a good defensive unit, but I feel that any fouls will be punished by Kelly, whose free taking was top notch against Cruppen.

There is a little difference this time full back. The clans will be goin into the game with absolutely nothing to loose a IMHO Cross were also a better team the year they beat us in the final. So i will conceed that we have gone backwards but you would also have to conceed that Cross are by no means the team they were. Mc Conville and a the Kernans have had a quite year with the county and certainly haven't doen anything outstanding. Plus there is also the added advantage of a neutral venue which is a big deal.

Would it be reasonable to say then that you would fancy Og's, Harps, Cross and killeavy all by 4 or 5 clear points???. Surely you would if they are clear cut.
