Ulster Club SFC 2024

I genuinely thought CE would have won that game if TK had stayed on the field, CE were on top at that stage and 3pts up. TK was targeted by so many EC players to provoke him that you may not have seen on the tv but was so obvious from the stands. The second yellow was probably enhanced from the roar of the EC fans in the main stand which influenced Joe's decision.
Was a good game and glad i went to it with two equally matched teams, i think Kilkoo will have too much for EC tbh and can see them winning with 4-5pts to spare. Their running off the shoulder and pace will be hard to stop.
Man of the match today was fully justified. Young Canavan was a joy to watch, a real baller.

15 v 15 CE win that game with a few to spare.

How on earth can anyone say this with a straight face given how 40 mins or the game at 15 v 15 went?!

CE had quite clearly taken a grasp of the game at that point and EC were really struggling for ideas.

The notion that you can dismiss such a comment with such certainty is pretty nonsensical.

Canavans are just a joy to watch.

Canavans are brilliant players, up there with the best in the country at the minute but my god the diving at the slightest touch does my head in, is there any need

2 unreal footballers no doubt but refs need to wise up to the diving they be at.

Wouldn't like to be the Tyrone/Errigal kit man washing the muck off the jerseys with the amount of time they spent lying in it.

Absolute Nonsense

McQuillan did not cost CE that game, would you all ever catch yourselves on. The fouls on Darragh were fouls. At one stage he was grabbed and swung around 360 and one of you was whinging about him diving. Too many CE names didn't show up. Ruairi Canavan was the best player on the pitch by a distance.

Don't think EC will have the legs for Kilcoo's running.

The decision not too black card for the penalty was a massive call mcquillan got wrong.

It was a pull back not a pull down, yellow correct decision

Could be wrong but I don't think he gave a yellow card?

[ONeill]

There was nothing between the sides, really. The red card changed the game, and CE were probably heading for a 1-2 point win.

It's interesting if this is a coming-of-age performance by Ruairi.

[Sportacus]

Small margins.  Clann Eireann looked cert for a goal, but Niall Kelly got back on the line and cleared his lines. Great defending.

[Moonshine]

Errigal will need the ref to help them in the final they looked leggy.

Kilcoo showed what level they can play to last night

Course they were leggy. No harm but Kilcoo are able to cruise to a final every year. Errigal don't have that luxury. Could've lost the first round, replay in the second round, went to the wire in the semi and the same in the final, week turn around then for the Eunans game

Kilcoo have developed a habit of cruising past county champions too.

Not standing up for Down football btw. But I'm pretty sure Burren, Carryduff wouldn't be long picking up a Tyrone title if they were moved.

Your right they might win an intermediate title. Not a chance they would touch the top 6 teams in tyrone

Well played by Kelly but that goal chance was butchered.

Red card undoubtedly turned the game. The most frustrating thing about McQuillan was that he had let 3 to 4 Errigal players away with similar or worse fouls than   TK. That left 1 CE player walking a tightrope and the Errigal players free to keep playing on the edge in the 2nd half. Zero consistency.

Tiernan Kelly no alter boy.... he should be on a yellow card everytime he leaves the house!

If you were refereeing on reputation Tyrone wouldnt even be allowed enter teams

This.  The roar from the EC bench when TK "fouled" for the second yellow was embarrassing really.  Enda McGinley and Stevie Quinn would be men I'd have a lot of time for but the cynicism was there for all to see.  It was obviously part of the HT team talk as the concerted effort to get TK a second booking ramped up after that.  McQuillan really should retire, a truly awful ref.

Maybe a decade or two ago... now they just like coffee and yoga unfortunately!

[An Watcher]

Have to laugh at the comments on here.  Of course TK was targeted in much the same way as the Dubs or Kerry would do.  At one point TK was over mouthing at mcginley as well. 
At ht it only looked like a matter of time before he got sent so why risk it with that challenge.
As for the match itself, I don't think the CE all-stars stood up in this game.  A bit more from them and CE could have won.  No doubt RC was the difference

Tyrone people really have notions

[maddog]

Thought CE no 11 McGee played fairly well. Did he ever get a look with the county?
