Down Club Hurling & Football

[befair]

I'd agree it's an institutional and cultural problem. I have no idea why referees tolerate it; in rugby if you look sideways at the ref it's a penalty, twice and it's a yellow or red. I've always admired this Kilcoo team, + supported them once my own club was out (which is usually fairly early), but this whining and petulance and attacking the ref reflects badly on them; they had plenty of opportunities during the game to win it, but blaming the ref is an easy call.

This video to me, sums up Kilcoo.. How some of their supporters cry wolf is staggering.

Ohanlon scores an incredible free
Waves to the crowd
When running out, delib goes in search of a Cross man
Shoulder each other
Ohanlon goes down holding his face, and the cries (as usual) of the Kilcoo fans.[/li][/list]


Or how about the racial abuse of another Cross player?
Or the sledging to another down club player about their dead parent?

Who is your club 5times?

The kingpins of Down & Ulster #utm... Why might i ask??

5times5times, you must be suffering a bit of an identity crisis, either you are from Kilcoo or you are not.

The treatment of Paul Faloon by Kilcoo has been horrendous for several years now. Some of the stories of what people have said or done is just sick. Kilcoo are very good at dishing out their own brand of hatred but so much of it is just cowardly, just ask Mayobridge minors and the other night it was Paul's turn again. They should suck it up and stop whinging to their fellow county mates in the press just to get a story. Everybody knows what way Paul Faloon referees games and while others blow constantly on the whistle, he doesn't. This makes for a good spectacle rather than the stop start nature of games and it's better than watching the likes of a boy from Warrenpoint be the centre of attention in a game rather than the game itself. Paul Faloon has a great future in refereeing and good luck to him.

I'm just delighted they found the remote for Monday night's game. Looked at the game again and to be honest the kilcoo officials appeared to be protecting the ref from some spectators who went on the field. I don't know their names but a man dressed in black and one with a light coloured coat were confronting their own people.

Watched the Point and Kilcoo game back. The ref done a very good job time keeping aside. He is one of the few refs that will not be bullied by kilcoo do fair play. You can say what you want but true champions lose with grace. Burren or the great Mayobridge team of the 2000s would have never acted like that. Its pure intimidation from Kilcoo and people are sick of their antics. From intimidating refs to sledging young lads they just cant do it without controversy. No doubt they will turn this into a positive in their own camp and the seige mentality will set in... Everyone hates us... Maybe they do but it isnt without justification.

really don't think the magpies care what we think of them tbh! On paper the best team to come out of down this 20 odd years ! And in every club there's sledging going on and has been for some time, dont honestly think its only kilcoo that does a bit of sledging

[urbangael]

The sledging of the young from mayobridge crossed the line. Its well documented. They always seem to stoop to new lows and can't win without controversy.

Clonduff 7/4 looks like great value

CPN player came out of Kilcoo game with a gouging injury to his eye and bruised balls that were twisted during the game. What the f**k is that all about and if that's the way they want to play it, then f**k away off.
