We will have new winners this year. Coleraine just beat Slaughtneil.
Or old winners ;)
Cullyhanna's to lose
Kilcoo be favs?

Scotstown or Ballybay will also fancy their chances as will Cavan Gaels. Most open one for years this year I reckon.
What about Killyclogher,Gweedore,Derrygonnelly,Crossmaglen etc.
Cab anyone throw up the fixtures?

Cheers, no "soft" side to the draw so every team would fancy their chances.
Honestly think it will be the most keenly contested one in years and also one of the closest. Everyone will fancy their chances. The Monaghan champs won't fancy Derrygonnelly either as the Fermanagh men have a few weeks to prepare and have been there for the last 3-4 years and feel they left a chance behind them last year. If we are lucky to beat Cullyhanna then we have a hard final and we are a very young team who are probably about 2 years from the breakthrough so this year is a bonus

Kilcoo have literally half their starting XV out of commission at the moment. If they win Down this year it will probably be one of their best achievements of their seven in a row.
Whats the semi draw ?
Gaoth Dobhair, half-filled with current and former county players, should be favourites in Donegal with Kilcar (missing Ryan McHugh and Patrick McBrearty) gone.

Gowna knocked them out - drew the semi-final with Crosserlough tonight. Castlerahan likely to beat Lavey in the other semi-final tomorrow.

Didn't see this evening happening though I'm happy to be proved wrong. We took a good game to the field today and were full value for the win. Still work to do as Ballymacnab are on a good run of form and won the league. They'll fancy their chances to do the double

Coleraine and Lavey in the Derry final. Who is left in the other counties and i'll throw up an updated fixture list?
Killyclogher v Coalisland in the Tyrone final
I think I have it right, if not let me know and i'll update:
Ulster Football Senior Club Championship
21st October: First Round:
Scotstown V Derrygonnelly
3rd / 4th November: Quarter Finals:
Armagh (Crossmaglen, Ballymacnab) V Tyrone (Killyclogher, Coalisland)
Down (Kilcoo/Burren) V Scotstown/Derrygonnelly
Antrim (Cargin, Creggan) V Donegal (Naomh Conaill, Gaoth Dobhair)
Cavan (Crosserlough, Gowna, Lavey, Castlerahan) V Derry (Coleraine, Lavey)
18th November: Semi Finals:
Antrim/DonegalV Armagh/Tyrone
Cavan/Derry V Down/Scotstown/Derrygonnelly
2nd December: Final
So Lavey v Lavey is a possibility
Gaoth Dobhair v Glenties in Donegal final, October 21st.
Edit: Oakleaflad already had it up.
Castlerahan and Crosserlough in Cavan final. Castlerahan's fourth in a row having lost the last three and a very young talented Crosserlough. Next door neighbours.
I doubt either cavan teams will sober up in time to put a focus on Ulster club should they win.
Have venues/times been determined?

Scotstowns to lose. Most experienced team it it, sprinkled with stars, the winners between them and Derrygonnelly have a great chance, as have Burren with their pedigree. Ifnwe beat Ballymacnab, which is a big if given our injuries, then we could be there or thereabouts but we are still very young. 6 of the likely starting team this Sunday are u21 with another 2-3 under 24. Kids really. I'd say if we win armagh we will be happy at that.

I can just see Joe Brollys articles in the next few months already when Cross win Ulster and how they've saved football. Now Slaughtneil are off the scene you boys will be back as his flavour of the month.

Scotstown win through to meet Burren, scoreline 2-17 to 1-11. After an even first half, they pulled ahead by 2 or 3 points but Derrygonnelly kept tabs and Scotstown didn't pile on the scores until the last minutes when they scored their 2 goals.
Castlerahan beat Crosserlough in a classic co final in cavan. I think given rahans long search for this title that they will be much of a threat in Ulster.

Fair spread. 9 would be 25 or younger with 6 of them under 21. The rest would be 28-35. Young McConville who came on is still a minor. Callum Cumiskey is 23. Miceal McCabe is 21. David McKenna 30 I think. Aidan Rushe 25. Still a lot of young men on it.
Some difference in the outright betting between Boyles and Powers.
Boyles:
Scotstown 11/4
Gweedore 11/4
Cross 10/3
Coleraine 6/1
Coalisland 7/1
Burren 8/1
Castlerahan 25/1
Cargin 33/1
Powers:
Cross 5/2
Scotstown 10/3
Gweedore 9/2
Coleraine 9/2
Burren 11/2
Coalisland 10/1
Cargin 16/1
Castlerahan 25/1
I'd be more inclined to think Powers prices are spot on.

It's what Cross men do. In reality the rest in Ulster will be looking over their shoulders with Cross now there and its going to take a very good team to beat them.
Cross best priced 1/2 on oddschecker, Coalisland best priced at 5/2. Attractive odds for Coalisland but hard to know how good Cross really are tbh, it's a new side pretty much. Will likely head over to it, should be a huge crowd - any sign of TG4 saving me a trip?

No and no. You'll have to get off your lazy arse Benny and cheer on your fellow county men! Armagh TV only have rights for Armagh club games.
Coalisland won't be an easy touch and have a good side. Tyrone teams are rarely beaten easy in Ulster and we are most vulnerable in the early stages of any competition, we only kick on as we get closer to the finals and that's an absolute fact not me being a cute hoor.

Having predicted Cross to lose both the Armagh quarter final and semi final and talking down their chances in the final I sense that despite trying you are actually struggling to give the opposition a chance in this one. Cross have to be favourites here with some great young players. Coalisland will be defensive and make life difficult and there could well be a flash point or two. The biggest problem for Cross will be their forwards getting much less space than in Armagh championship. I still think they have better players than Coalisland and will pull through by 4/5.
Coalisland bucked the trend in Tyrone though, really not that defensive. The individuals in their defense are excellent though, which is where there strength lies.
Cross by 2.

They got plenty of men behind the ball in all their championship games
Very much a game of unknown in my opinion. Coalisland here for the first time in a long time. We have a few who have been there before but theres still a fair smattering of young ones. I know why we are favoured but its not a straight forward case in my opinion. Favorite by reputation more than anything. I still believe Gweedore will come from out side of the draw and the winners of burren and scotstown from the other side with the winners from the other side winning it outright

BCB you would have more chance of getting a parking ticket in Coalisland than Burren winning Ulster😜
Was it a Coalisland minor who came off the bench and kicked two wonder scores off the outside of the boot?
The Island by a point
For all the talk of the Crossmaglen O'Neill's I reckon Coalisland should be more concerned with trying to keep Kyle Carragher tied up, he's been the main dangerman imo. I also really cant see why Cross are such big favourites, still would be timid enough backing against them tbh.

Coalisland down to 13, poor game, Cross wining by one point after having wind in first half.
What were reds for?
Double yellows-now 13 aside
13 a side now, Johnny Hanratty sent off. 7 each 15 mins gone in 2nd half.

The commentary. :-[
McGuckin every time something happens:
"Aaaaahhhhhhhhh. Ahhhhh here."

Cross win 0-12 to 0-10
Coalisland lack of cool heads late on cost them. At 10-9 down they had a chance of easy point or work a 50/50 goal. Blasted wide going for point. Then two basic soloing errors when breaking after that ruined both moves. Aaron Kernan really stepped up those last 10 mins.
Hard luck to Fianna. They had a chance to take a big scalp but lack of composure cost them.
Coming from Tyrone it is a long way to get back to there .
Tough one to win but that's what it's all about. The ref had his hands full. Each sending off was deserved. 2 bookings for 3 and each of them were bookings. Coalisland had no 4 sent off for a straight red for spitting on our physios face. They also had adults deliberately throwing the ball onto the field from behind the goals. They were getting the kids to get the balls and were holding them to the next lockout. Deliberately doing it. You reap what you sow
Why did Coalisland take the point with the last gasp free??
Cross had a bad day at office but still won. Familar story for us Armagh people. BCB right though. Cross a new team at this stage a bit too early.

This kind of carryon is ridiculous, not just because it's absolutely daft, but psychologically it sends a very negative message from management (there's no way these boys were doing this of their on volition) to players.
Cross are some outfit. 6 AI's and they look like they are rising again! Winning never gets old. BCB1, by reading some posts on here, you've won a couple yourself, I'd say very little comes close to that feeling.

Absolutely directed. The young lads were behind the Cross goals in the first half and then in the second. There was a young lad wearing a grey and red half zip and he could be clearly seen. There were two men, one wearing a blue hat and a Coalisland rain jacket. It stinks of gamesmanship of the highest order and teaching a 12-13 year old that this is how you win. If this is what Damien O Hagan feels he needs to employ then they get what they deserve.
There's nothing beats winning JoG2 but this team has a lot to do to get there yet. They can and tonight will have taught them a huge lesson but the next game will be another level. I am lucky in that I have a few medals but these young lads need to step up to a new level as Autumn football is not for the feint hearted!!

I'm no Cross fan, but those Tyrone lads would sicken you with their antics. Didn't see what number 4 was sent off for but the Coalisland number 5 should have went as well in the second half, Rian O'Neill put him over the sideline with a hard and fair hit, and the number 5 got up and spat in the Cross physio's face. Hanratty's second yellow looked very harsh to me although I was at the far end. Have to say, Rian O'Neill is a serious footballer but a special mention has to go to Aaron Kernan, sublime as ever and still going as fast in the 60th minute as the 1st, class act.
It's not just a Tyrone thing in fairness. Maghery have been throwing balls onto the field in the same way for the last couple of years. So much so that the stewards went up behind the goals during the semi final with Ballymacnab.
Rian O'Neill will get the plaudits and rightly so but it was a big test for Cross tonight and they came through it. They won't rack up 24 points in an Ulster club cship match but grinding out a victory tonight will be worth its weight in gold to them. Still think there are some weaknesses in this Cross team but with the 2 O'Neills at the top of their game they have a good chance of winning Ulster.
Disgusting behavior from the Coalisland man spitting into the Cross Physio's face if true.
The floodlit games in Armagh generate a great atmosphere, hope the final is a late Saturday evening throw in.

So, going by reports on here, both the Coalisland no 4 & no 5 spat in the Crossmaglen physio's face at different stages of the game.
That seems odd. So odd indeed that I imagine people have got their stories mixed up at some stage. If not, that's very odd.
Whatever about no 5, I was told from a very reliable source that that's what 4 got it for. It was a very strange one indeed as there was no one on the ground and the was no argument so no one got struck. The ref went to his umpires and straight away produced a red card so it must have been serious. I said it to someone after the game and they said straight away that he was sent off for spitting. It happened to me many years ago against a Tyrone team so I know how disgusting it it is to be on the end of it.
Quote from: hardstation on November 03, 2018, 11:28:30 PM
It's not something that happens very often. It happens less often to physios, I imagine.
Yet it happened twice to this physio in the one game? Odd.
I've just been informed there was a spitting but that's not what he was sent off for. The sending off was worse but I won't put it up here.

I assume this is a very very very reliable source this time?
Yes
Sad that a Fianna player let the team down. Cross probably just glad they weren't playing Errigal Ciaran who've have their number most times they've met in Ulster... ;D
I can't believe the coalisland nr 5 is playing for Tyrone. Can't kick, toe tap, catch ball or take a tackle. Saying that, in his time with mickey Harte he has picked up other traits - pulling, spitting, non stop verbals and general all round cheating. A sc**bag. He should be a regular in mickey's teams for years to come. He should look at his county colleague (hampsey) who plays the game how it should be played.
Regarding the balls coming onto the pitch, I'm pretty sure peter Donnelly (as Tyrone's coach) was sent to the stand in ballybofey this year for doing exactly that. Time for peter to grow up (and retire).
Cross management should have had hanratty off as soon as coalisland went down to 13 men. He was an accident waiting to happen. Rian O'Neill's class was probably the difference between the teams.
I don't know if anyone else noticed Tony Keenan going up to young McConville and putting his arm around him and having a quiet word with him after missing his goal chance, could it possibly have been a penalty for a foot block?, a nice touch from a senior player.

The number 5 did it right in front of me. I honestly didn't see what number 4 did I just assumed he had struck out.

How did Tony play at full forward? Assuming that is Jim McConville's son, he is a pretty good minor.
Cross are just one or two players away from being an Ulster winning team.

He has played in senior championship so he's ineligible till next season. I'm not sure of how it works but whatever transfer he got means he can't play.

Stevie McDonnell; who is in with Burren was kicking footballs on during Kilcoo kickouts towards end of the Down SFC final. Awful thing to see from management - he done it 3/4 times and nothing was done.
Predicitons for Burren / Scotstown? Personally I think Scotstown by 5/6

Jesus that's disappointing if true, and I'm not doubting it. Look we all play the game on the edge. A tackle here, a hit there, I hate trash talk and think it's a blight. But the thing is it's now part of the game at all levels. I hate feigning injury too. I wish across the board shot like this stopped as the reality is that the team who has the better players and focuses mostly on the football generally wins competitions. Dark Arts may win the odd game but football wins championships. I feel Coalisland focused too much on trying to disrupt us rather than trying to win the game.
Scotstown will win today. They have too much fire power and in Beggan they have a serious weapon from kick outs and free kicks.
I'm not sure if people are overestimating Scotstown or underestimating Burren, but why anyone would think one is a formality is beyond me. Burren are well balanced side and have enough big men in their panel to take to winter football like naturals.

Maybe, but they're also only two games away from being an ulster winning team
Coalisland probably seen the young cross ones throwing the ball onto the field before the Ballymacnab kick outs in the Armagh final. Well directed by adult supervision also. Do what ever ya need to do to win and all that. Cross going to take Ulster now I'd reckon. Will take a lot of beating

Whatever you think. I know none of our players spat on anyone last night nor did we have grown men standing behind the nets throwing balls into the field to stop kick outs. Whatever about being physically on the edge, and let's face it none of the sending offs for either teams were for bad tackles. As someone who has been involved in coaching and playing within the club for over 30 years I can categorically state that I have never been involved in anything like that in terms of encouragement or encouraging that.

Definitely didn't happen. I'll tell you something about the Cross management. Of all the people who would be involved in coaching or playing they would be ones who would be beyond reproach in terms of their approach and attitude.

Never a red. But Castlerahan were brilliant second half. Went man to man with Goalkeeper as a corner back. Eoghan Rua took 20 minutes to score in 2nd half.
Scotstown should have won by a cricket score after completely dominating for 40 minutes but allowed Burren back to within a point of them and it looked as though Burren had the momentum then.
Burren kick out strategy was their undoing but I feel as though Scotstown were still deserving winners. Their defence will be their Achilles heel when it comes to actually winning Ulster. Coleraine v Scotstown could go either way.

Were you at the game? I was listening to it and the penalty shout near the end seemed pretty clear cut according to the radio. Scotstown has 15-16 wides....that won't happen again I reckon. Gweedore also seemed pretty comfortable in the first half and should have ripped Cargin out completely. Nearly wish they had as Cargins comeback will make sure that Gweedore are definitely focused for the semi!!! No disrespect to Coleraine but Scotstown will win that one and will be favourites for the final.
Our game is interesting as Gweedore are in complete virgin territory and have a really good team. In many respects for half our team they are in new waters as well. Both teams have a sprinkling of solid experienced players so it's who of the lesser can adapt to the experience of a playing on Ulster that will be key. It won't be won by the McGees or Cassidy on one side or Aaron Kernan or Johnny Hanratty for us but but which first timers settle best. It will be a tough one to call but I reckon Gweedore will be slight favourites

Stonewall. Burren then turned the ball over cleanly on the 45 as Scotstown broke from that and a free was somehow given against them. Scotstown totally dominated almost the whole opening 40 minutes though. Controversy with one of the points as one umpire signalled a wide and the other signalled a point!

Yes and it was a definite penalty.
Don't kid yourself, Cross will be firm favourites purely on reputation alone, they are favourites to win Ulster and third favourites to win the All Ireland.
The beginnings of Burren's comeback coincided with Kieran Hughes' black card. I'd hazard a guess that Kieran deserved it :)
Northern Sound hardly mentioned the penalty claim, though had Burren been awarded the penalty they still would have had to beat Beggan and his record of saving penalties in club championship football is exceptionally good. Nudie Hughes didn't make it for the commentary because of illness, I hope nothing's amiss.

i was at it too and wasn't sure about the penalty. Ref was in a perfect position to be fair. Maybe he charged into him.
Having said that Scotstown got out of jail. There were far better but had a serious number of 1st half wides. Some of them were really bad wides too. If they can fix their shooting they'll be hard to beat
Was behind the nets on Saturday night and the young kid was being actively encouraged by his Da to throw the balls back on just before the Cross kickout.
When a steward came over the Da took out his phone and started recording the steward. At half time the kid took a black kit bag full of balls down to the other end and the Da followed.
Petey Donnelly is just a superb keeper. The Cross keeper is not.
Young ONeill hit a point in second half and it must have started out 10/15 yards wide but he judged the wind to perfection.
Our latest All Star's antics were an embarassment.
The Island will know this was won they could have won if they had just played some football.
Tattyreagh hammered St Peters by 1 point. Far better team. Intermediate football in Armagh must be poor if this is the best they have.
On Sunday Scotstown should have been home and hosed but in the end were hanging on for dear life. Strange game.
From where I was it looked a penalty but ref obviously had a better view.
Beggan was like an outfield player at times and his place kicking was fantastic but he seems to love the attention. Would do well to watch back the AISF to keep his feet on the ground
Donnelly is a very good keeper and adds a real dimension to the Coalisland team. Our keeper is only aged 19 so I'd give him a bit of time Taylor. He actually is a really good keeper and will grow into a much better one. He had one of his weaker games the other night but it's his championship debut season. He's only conceded 4 goals in 7 games so he's doing ok.

From where I was it looked a penalty but ref obviously had a better view.
Beggan was like an outfield player at times and his place kicking was fantastic but he seems to love the attention. Would do well to watch back the AISF to keep his feet on the ground
Tattyreagh hammered St Peters by a point? You must have watched a different game. Granted St Peters didn't play that well but they could easily be looking forward to an Ulster Semi had they not missed two easy frees. And that's not to mention some of their poor shooting
The BBC highlights suggest it was a stone wall penalty in the Burren game. Great to see 5 minutes of highlights for each game but just a pity they couldn't stream one live.

Donnelly is a very good keeper and adds a real dimension to the Coalisland team. Our keeper is only aged 19 so I'd give him a bit of time Taylor. He actually is a really good keeper and will grow into a much better one. He had one of his weaker games the other night but it's his championship debut season. He's only conceded 4 goals in 7 games so he's doing ok.
He did look like a young gassun BC and you would know him better than me but he looked dodgy under the high ball and many of his kick outs were poor. The ball constantly being thrown on didnt help him though. And the Cross players were visibly pissed as they were driving the balls back towards the crowd when they were thrown on.
The 4 goals in 7 games probably more to do with the quality of opposition you have faced so far

Was behind the nets on Saturday night and the young kid was being actively encouraged by his Da to throw the balls back on just before the Cross kickout.
When a steward came over the Da took out his phone and started recording the steward. At half time the kid took a black kit bag full of balls down to the other end and the Da followed.
Petey Donnelly is just a superb keeper. The Cross keeper is not.
Young ONeill hit a point in second half and it must have started out 10/15 yards wide but he judged the wind to perfection.
Our latest All Star's antics were an embarassment.
The Island will know this was won they could have won if they had just played some football.

Tattyreagh cut their defence open everytime they went on the attack. Massive difference in how good the forwards were for each team.
Is that big midfielder Findon the guy that was playing for Armagh seniors a few years back? Has he been injured or what happened to him as havent heard of him recently?

in fairness, I thought Hampsey was very good and has been all season. He is a strong footballer but can play a bit as well. I didn't notice any poor behaviour from him......or is it McKernan you refer to?

Sorry - All Star nominee and nominated for YPOTY was the player with the behavioural problems. If he had just played ball he could have got them across the line.
Hampsey was solid and was suprised they didnt move him to see if he could have had a bigger influence on the game

Kickouts worked better in the Armagh final, but were less good on Saturday Cullyhanna and Ballymacnab were good opposition for Cross in Armagh.
Cross have room for improvement from Saturday and will need to make this improvement.

Absolutely. His kick outs have been excellent all year. He's a young lad playing on his first Ulster match after replacing one of the next keepers in the country of the last 20 years, so he's doing alright. Ballymacnab and Cullyhanna would have given Coalisland just as much as we did on Saturday and to suggest that the quality isn't in armagh is ignorance of the facts

The performance in Ulster of Armagh clubs (other than Cross) wouldnt back this statement up
Of the last four teams that won the Armagh Championship outside of Cross:
Maghery got to the Ulster Club Semi, but were well beaten by Kilcoo
Harps were beaten by a goal by Derrygonnelly
Pearse Ogs narrowly beaten by St Gall's (who went on to win the All Ireland) -

He loves the attention surely. He was running up and down the field like a blue arsed fly yesterday. No call for it at all.
Taylor, my attempt at humour clearly went over your head. In fairness the record of Armagh teams, in the last 15 years, outside of Cross has been abysmal. Blackwater the only team to win an Ulster Junior Club. No club from Armagh has won the intermediate!
Tyrone are the opposite. Very poor record at Senior Ulster Club level but strong at intermediate and junior. Tells me that they have a more even spread of ability across the three tiers. But also, with a wider spread of teams coming out of Senior Tyrone Championship, and no-one dominating, Tyrone teams don't don't get the benefit of building experience at Ulster level and building towards it in the way a dominant team can.

Most of the teams that have challenged for Ulster Senior Club honours have won a few county titles beforehand (Slaughtneil, Crossmaglen, and St Gall's etc.).

If the two games are scheduled for the same time then loss of revenue shouldnt be an issue as fans can only attend one of them anyway.

If it's in a neutral venue (different county) then the local GAA folk will go and increase the gate.. can't remember it being done before, will be a junior game as has been the case before

There's a couple Cargin men on here better placed to tell you, but they put so much into winning Antrim that they have peaked come the final and have nowt left for the riggers of Ulster..
quality players no doubt but the longer it continues for them the harder it will be to win a game in Ulster..
Pedigree helps and we'd previous managers with positive runs in Ulster, players had parents also who were involved in Ulster winning campaigns..
They need to gamble on winning Antrim without peaking too early, our lads never trained hard till June so were fresh and fitter come October November time..

Milltown, they were very lucky to get by St. Gall's in the semi and won the final by a point. Had they not 'peaked' they wouldn't have won Antrim?
Exactly my point, they could not afford to not prepare as they did, and Cargin didn't have a full deck of players all season, Cassidy can only use what's at his disposal therealdonald..
Cargin lads are aging like our lads, not too many miles left on the clock so winning Antrim is their primary focus.
Cargin are just unlucky they came up against a good Galls team over the years, they could have had a better run in Ulster had they dominated Antrim. Fortunately for us they didn't!

Milltown, what is the craic with Cargin. They got walloped by killyclogher last year and seemed to lie down (at least until late on) against gweedore yesterday.
They would appear to have a sprinkling of quality footballers and always have a big name manager.
Have they no interest in competing in Ulster or are they just crap?
There’s a couple Cargin men on here better placed to tell you, but they put so much into winning Antrim that they have peaked come the final and have nowt left for the riggers of Ulster..
quality players no doubt but the longer it continues for them the harder it will be to win a game in Ulster..
Pedigree helps and we’d previous managers with positive runs in Ulster, players had parents also who were involved in Ulster winning campaigns..
They need to gamble on winning Antrim without peaking too early, our lads never trained hard till June so were fresh and fitter come October November time..
Cargin have won a lot of leagues 7/8 championships they are a very good team, just poor in Ulster
Cassidy would have as good a pedigree as you could find in Ulster Club though too? Are they maybe just not good enough?
Has Cassidy ever won a game in Ulster club as a manager ?

Bellaghy lost 2005 ulster Final to St Galls with Cassidy in charge
not sure about his record with Clonoe
Watched the highlights on TG4 last night from Cross/Fianna game and Burren/Kilcoo and Gweedore
Some mighty long range kicking for points in the closing from the O Neill brothers. A joy to watch. Fine strikers of a ball
Burren has a massive call for a penalty at the end turned down. Free all day if that foul was committed anywhere else on pitch
Cassidy calling shots up from for Gweedore. If Odhran MacNiallias Is back the Cross game should be some battle
Ulster Football Senior Club Championship
21st October: First Round:
Scotstown V Derrygonnelly
3rd / 4th November: Quarter Finals:
Crossmaglen V Coalisland
Burren V Scotstown/Derrygonnelly
Cargin V Gaoth Dobhair
Castlerahan V Coleraine
18th November: Semi Finals:
Gaoth Dobhair V Crossmaglen
Coleraine V Scotstown
2nd December: Final
Castlerahan got a very raw deal from Mr Branigan with the softest yellow you will ever see, depriving them of a player for half the game. Cost them in the end .
Both semi finals are finely balanced I feel. There is no standout team in Ulster and any one of the 4 remaining sides could win it this year.
Is anyone aware of venues, times for the semi finals ? Cheers

The 4 goals in 7 games probably more to do with the quality of opposition you have faced so far
Bullshit. You obviously weren't at the county final to see the standard of forward play Cross had to encounter there. They didn't have it all their own way throughout the Armagh championship.
Absolutely. His kick outs have been excellent all year. He's a young lad playing on his first Ulster match after replacing one of the next keepers in the country of the last 20 years, so he's doing alright. Ballymacnab and Cullyhanna would have given Coalisland just as much as we did on Saturday and to suggest that the quality isn't in armagh is ignorance of the facts
The performance in Ulster of Armagh clubs (other than Cross) wouldnt back this statement up
This has to be without doubt one of the most stupid things I've ever read.
There only were 2 other clubs from Armagh who played in the Ulster club championship in the last 20 years!!
Just for good measure, before Cross started winning Ulster club titles for fun, the previous champions were......Mullaghbawn.
Not counting Cross, Armagh clubs have won 4 Ulster titles, 4 times as many as Donegal and twice as many as Tyrone

I don't think it is stupid at all.
Armagh clubs have a fairly dismal record in club competition outside of Cross. Take Cross out of the equation and only An Port Mor have won a provincial title since the 3 grades became operational at provincial level. I can't recall too many other clubs even getting to finals, Culloville made the intermediate final one year if memory serves me right but not too many others. Let's not pretend it has been anything other than disappointing.

Gaoth Dobhair are without Ciaran Gillespie who did his cruciate in last week's game.

Like the above not on to slag TG4 but jeez hurling always gets precedence, certainly at club level anyway.
Hurling probably does get the lion's share, but it's still brilliant to watch of a cold aul Sunday afternoon. That double-header in Omagh would be perfect, 1 set of cameras etc. . Will the Omagh pitch hold up though? Celtic Pk is in serious condition at the minute and would maybe have been the wiser choice
You'd think TG4 would. Given the fact Gaoth Dobhair are based in the Gaeltacht.

Omagh is neutral for all 4 clubs, Celtic park prob not considered due to Coleraine being in it
Could be a backup venue for Cross Gweedore if Omagh cant cope with both

Christ what a comeback from Scotstown! Sounds like they were second best for most of the game but dug it out of somewhere in injury time. Beggan with the winning point after about 65 minutes. Fair play to the lad, some balls to nail that.
Scotstown with a last minute rally, with Beggan about you can't afford an untidy tackle on the 45.
Interesting note I seen on Twitter - Scotstown's last 3 points in injury time were from the full back, corner back, and goalkeeper!
Gweedore would have rathered Coleraine had held out. They'll have a much harder final now.
Some double header for 10 yoyos. Another goodun to follow now
Cross have no defence
Some space on that pitch in general.
Still wouldn't rule cross out. Not sure how that was a free in.
Don't think I've ever seen Cross been cut through in defence so easily before. So unlike them.
But still "only" 5 down at half time.

Never seen Cross so open, and Gweedore have serious pace.
Important period for Cross before half time, if they can get an early goal now it'll be interesting. But impressive stuff from Gweedore.
Cross totally outplayed yet they are still in it. Their defence is as wide open as the Red Sea and they are struggling at midfield also. We will see what they are made of in the second half but they can't really afford to leak any more goals.
Gweedore won the Ulster u21 club earlier in the year,plenty of talent. O Baoill having some game

I said elsewhere it is much harder to get frees in Armagh. He can get away with much of that in Armagh but not Ulster.

Cross at the same aul bad-loser craic as when Errigal Ciaran used to bate them out the door! 8)
Cross scored 16 times and conceded 15 scores. Goals do win games sometimes.
Gweedore favorites for the final based on today's performances
Gweedore looked very impressive when on the ball, very fluent. Also very well conditioned
Cross looked very one dimensional and the sending off cost them though I think Gweedore would still have won.
Cassidy was a handful, all credit to him at his age!
Good to see you living up to your name captain obvious ;D
Best team won really. Some good players in that gweedore team and quite a few non county, yet, too.
Disappointing to see oneill at that at the end. Looked like a talented two footed player. Cross still very good at the kick passing but were second best in most of the pitch really.
BCB was right in that Cross are a bit inexperienced for Ulster at the minute. 3 bad goals conceded in the first half. Pity Hanratty got sent off as it spoilt any chance of an exciting second half. A bit of luck and eager eye got a 4th goal which was the final nail. To be fair to Cross they didn't dive or yap like some teams to try and get numbers evened up. I thought the 2 O'Neill boys really carried Cross. Pity the petulance of youth got Rian sent off at end. Donegal have a team that could well win Ulster title. Should be a good game against Scotstown.
Crossmaglen very poor defensively. Leaving the full back line exposed all game. Joseph Brolly won't know what to write about this week. What bandwagon will he bounce onto. I think it will be GDORE
Cross seemed a bit over reliant on some of their players when the cross teams of old would have spread the scoring responsibilities. The goals killed them, credit to gweedore though they were the livelier team throughout and deserved their winning margin. They play a nice style of football for this time of year and seem incredibly fit. Think they'll give scotstown all they want in the final
Couldn't believe how open Cross's defence was...what Cross would give for a F Bellew. Best team won alright but Cross will not be happy with their first half display (espicially their lack of defensive cover). Should be a good final all the same.
Didn't see Scotstown today but apparently Beggan was the difference with a huge advantage on kick outs.
If Gweedore can come up with a plan to nullify that (easier said than done) I would make them slight favourites.

The Armagh county senior team are wide open in defence that type defending seems to have spread to Cross? Castleblayney Faughs 1991 the last Monaghan senior Ulster winner and hasn't been a Donegal winner since St. Joseph's in 1975.
Looks like very strong teams coming from the other provinces this year; Corofin, Dr Crokes, + Kilmacud Crokes. I'll be pleasantly surprised if the Ulster champions match up to them

Gweedore favorites for the final based on today's performances
Yeah i think so. Scostown got over the line without playing well. The coleraine lad who missed a sitter (hit the bar with the goal gaping) won't sleep well tonight. Should have been 6 up but Scotstown went straight down and scored a point about 10 secs later and the gap was 2. Scotstown didn't panic. Draw and ET might have been fairer but when Beggan got that chance he was never going to miss.
Thought cross were really poor in 1st half. 1st 2 goals Gwedore basically ran down the middle unchallenged. They couldn't believe their luck. Nobody marked McNiallis either. That won't happen in the final. Close to call - maybe scoststown's experience will tell (it certainly did today anyway)

Thought cross were really poor in 1st half. 1st 2 goals Gwedore basically ran down the middle unchallenged. They couldn't believe their luck. Nobody marked McNiallis either. That won't happen in the final. Close to call - maybe scoststown's experience will tell (it certainly did today anyway)
Niall holly going off injured was the main turning point. Great player and irreplaceable for coleraine. They were 4 up and in control when he went off.
yeah fair point

Just how many steps did Mullan manage to take before belting the ball to the net for Coleraine's first? had to be in the double digits?
Over 7 minutes of highlights here on the BBC https://www.bbc.com/sport/av/gaelic-games/46256354 (https://www.bbc.com/sport/av/gaelic-games/46256354)
The late free at the death came after McCarthy sent a careless hospital pass cross field which Morgan got to first before being felled. It looked a soft free at first but after a second viewing I think the ref got it right.

We have played EC in 3 different championships. They beat us twice we won once. First time they beat us by 2, second time by 3 after 2 drawn matches and third time we won by 6. I think on that basis we are the only ones who did any bateing through the gate!
More important congrats to Gweedore today. They scored the goals at key times and just had a bit too much strength and speed. We will regroup and learn hopefully. We will have Jamie back next year and that will add another dimension to the team and the young lads will have developed well from this years experience. Best of luck to the Donegal men in the final.
The Gweedore v Cross match today was unusual in that its been a very very long time since I had seen a drop kick. And I assume McKenna meant it.

Difficult to tell, given the sort steps, but I'd reckon 10 / 11 steps. The first goal for Scotstown I reckon was 9 / 10 steps. These things are rarely given.

Conor McCarthy shot for goal after the 4th step and before the 5th, where on earth do you get 9 or 10 from?

My bad - advanced maths isn't my thing unfortunately. Looking more closely I think it was seven steps and shot on the eighth, but regardless of numbers, my underlying point still stands in that steps are rarely given and almost every solo run has a series of misdemeanours.

Your bad is right, it's not advanced maths ,it's counting steps is not your thing, how difficult can it be? one, two three four shoot? What an idiot ;D
The relevance of your underlying point has no bearing on Conor McCarthy's magical goal.
Surprised there is no mention of it, but Gweedores third gl was not a penalty, big call by the ref that had a big bearing on the game. It was a fair side to side hit

Totally agree. It really pisses me off when refs blow up this sort of challenge. Ffs there has to be some physicality in the game and this was a perfectly timed shoulder.

Advanced maths was me being ironic with reference to my own mistake over the number of steps. Good to see that didn't go over your head.
The reality was that technically he overcarried the ball, but like I said, these things rarely get pinged by the ref. And for what it's worth - with no irony this time - you're right, it was a great goal.
I thought the atmosphere was a bit flat in the hell hole that is Omagh.
Good high level games of football mind you.
Scotstown have been sailing close to the wind & could have been beat in their last 2 games but now find themselves in the final. Beggan getting all the attention again today with a wonderful last kick.
Gweedore pulled an average Crossmaglen team apart. Coalisland will be kicking themselves after watching that. Gweedore have massive pace and run direct but Scotstown wont part like the red sea
The lack of pace in the Cross team was really exposed yesterday, as were the lightweight nature of the forwards. Clarke being back would mark a big upgrade, but you never know if he'll stick around or not.
I'll give them their dues though, they are mentally very tough and you would never bet against them being out of it, even with 14 men. Had they got a goal and brought the gap down to 3-4...who knows how GD would have reacted.
Having said that they just don't seem to have the ability of previous years...if you take the 2 x O'Neills and AK outta the current Cross team and you have a decent, but not great, side.
Hear a lot of folks talk about the youth in the Cross side needing time to mature, but did GD not have around 9 or 10 u21s playing?

It looked very very soft to me and was hard on Coleraine after being the better side for most of the game

I did too and they were on an advantage anyway so if it wasnt they would have got a close in free. Don't think that decision cost them the game though.
Looking at the replay (BBC NI website) The scotstown free probably was a free - rash, tired challenge. As a few others have said Coleraine's 1st goal should never have stood though. 10 steps and there's no comparison in that and mccarthy's goal (who might have taken 5).
On the whole brannigan did well. Let them play and didn't give many soft frees.
I have to laugh at all the baiters on here getting their thrills of a cross beating. At the end of the day Cross kicked 16 points, which would win many a game of football. They conceded two soft goals, a third from a penalty that shouldn't have been and a fourth when Hanratty was sent off. McQuillan confirmed once again that he is an inconsistent referee and is too obvious in games. That said the best team won. Cross defending was un Cross like, write them off at your peril. Both teams played contrasting football and both a joy to behold great advertisement for Ulster Football. Cross could have had a couple of goals themselves but that would have been larceny.

Hanratty is a liability.
Yes but by his standards the bookings were very soft !
Thought the first was a rugby tackle black, second a definite yellow. But why make the second tackle knowing he was already on a yellow. Just daft.
I said elsewhere it is much harder to get frees in Armagh. He can get away with much of that in Armagh but not Ulster.
Whilst that's a correct statement it's a sad indictment of the refereeing in Armagh. Hanratty was constantly at it in the Armagh championship and got away with it. He got a standing ovation coming off against us after committing three reckless dangerous fouls. As yellowcard says he is a liability and when faced by decent referees came a cropper. If Cross want a hero to be giving standing ovations to they have plenty of other candidates.
It's a pity Rian O'Neill finished his championship in the way he did. Thought he had turned a corner with his discipline and his football was far better for it. He's an outstanding prospect if he continues to keep the head.

Watch it again. Stone wall penalty. Went through the back of him.
Initially I thought that it was a penalty but having watched the replay I think it was extremely soft. McQuillan also failed to spot a double bounce by a Gweedore player that would have been an easy free in for Cross and which led to a Gweedore point.
He was as usual very inconsistent but you still can't argue that Gweedore were probably the better side overall and never came under any real pressure after the third goal went in. If the McKenna goal chance had gone in just after half time and Hanratty had stayed on the pitch it might have been different but that's only guesswork. I felt that Cross were dominated in midfield and there defensive frailties which have been there for some time were ruthlessly exposed yesterday. I do think that they will be stronger for the experience though and with Clarke back and a few younger players still to come in that they could be back in the mix again next year. Rian O'Neill has been outstanding for Cross during this campaign and was arguably man of the match again yesterday.

Having watched the replay, its not as clear cut a penalty as i thought at the time, but I still think it is a penalty.
It was a rash challenge to make in that situation , to try and shoulder someone who is about to get a shot away in the box , and you always run the risk of conceding a penalty if you dont get it 100% spot on.
regardless, I thought Gweedore were the better side and deserved their win.
I thought a major point in the game, that effectively killed off Rangers, was a poor miss by Aaron Kernan. He had escaped his man and had a free shot, from about thirty yards, for a point. I remember thinking as he drew his foot back that it was a nailed on point but he inexplicably dropped it short and Gweedore went up the pitch and got a point of their own. I'm open to correction, but I think the fourth goal came from the following play.

Disagree. Can see why it was given during the game but I didn't think it was a penalty. A hard shoulder but fair.
I've certainly seen those penalties given and watching it back from the angle on TV I don't think it would be a clear enough view to overturn on VAR ;)
Looks like it was struck close enough to the keeper too that he might be disappointed it wasn't saved?
GD full value for the win, even at 15v15 - I just would have liked to see what they would have done if Cross had narrowed it to 3-4 points.

Its a hard shoulder in the back!
As clear a penalty as you'd ever see (and I'm completely neutral)
I also thought it was a blatant penalty (and am neutral)
Yeah I have to say watching it live, I had no thought that it was a controversial call at all
Clear pen. Since when were you allowed to shoulder into the back
Definitely was a penalty
Watching it on tv Mcquillan signalled first for a free and then after some discussion (meybe linesman or someone watching the live tv picture?)over ear mic put the hands out for a penalty
Scotstown were lucky to win that game.
They were very naïve and Coleraine should have had a third goal.
If that goes in, then the game was over.
Cross were set up very similar to Scotstown.
Tried to press Gweedore up the pitch. But once Gweedore beat the press , Cross were wide open and Gweedore punished them by scoring goals.
Both displays highlighted the dangers of trying to play 15 on 15 in the modern game.
When you play that ,against a counter attacking team who flood the defence, you are leaving yourself wide open at the back.
Scotstown will have to change there approach when they don't have the ball if they are to win the final.

Soft goals killed them, poor goalkeeping, McQuillian and being a bit lighter than the opposition all contributed to a loss. They are not far off the finished article and that will come with maturity and experience outside the county. Interesting to see how many will report for county duty when asked for 2019.

I think sometimes people think that every team that comes through Cross into Ulster is going to win it. The reality is that 12 months time from now and things will be clearer how good we can be. Paul McKeown was a huge loss this year and if he had been fit there's no way those goals would have been scored as easily as he is the best out and out defender on the team. Hopefully he will be back and Jamie will be there. Cian McConville will be a year stronger, the 'older' young lads will be a year wiser and hopefully stronger also. We produced once in a lifetime club teams twice in 20 years and as a result the expectations of us is higher than other teams. GD were deserved winners and really have an excellent opportunity to win it out. I'm torn as I'd like to see them win it but know a lot of the Scotstown lads and would like to see them win it too given that they have had a few hard rattles at it and 'deserve' it. We will be back, have no fear.

I have watched it again, side to side, perfect shoulder and he dislodges the ball. It's the type of challenge which is more often than not blown up but it shouldn't be.

Morgan, Hughes, 2 x O'Neills and Clarke all should be on the squad and probably all as starters.
Just seen the Scotstown v Coleraine highlights, it was some kick again from Beggan to win it 5 minutes into injury time. Coleraine must be ruing those missed chances though.
You won't see too many goals better than McCarthy's goal and the second Coleraine one in this years club championship.

They are not far off the finished article and that will come with maturity and experience outside the county. Interesting to see how many will report for county duty when asked for 2019.
I think sometimes people think that every team that comes through Cross into Ulster is going to win it. The reality is that 12 months time from now and things will be clearer how good we can be. Paul McKeown was a huge loss this year and if he had been fit there's no way those goals would have been scored as easily as he is the best out and out defender on the team. Hopefully he will be back and Jamie will be there. Cian McConville will be a year stronger, the 'older' young lads will be a year wiser and hopefully stronger also. We produced once in a lifetime club teams twice in 20 years and as a result the expectations of us is higher than other teams. GD were deserved winners and really have an excellent opportunity to win it out. I'm torn as I'd like to see them win it but know a lot of the Scotstown lads and would like to see them win it too given that they have had a few hard rattles at it and 'deserve' it. We will be back, have no fear.
What does Young O'Neill miss for the red? Petulent but I thought McQuillan could issued yellow in the circumstances.
Back in Omagh for the final on the 2nd. 2pm throw in.
it was a definite penalty.

Surprised there is no mention of it, but Gweedores third gl was not a penalty, big call by the ref that had a big bearing on the game. It was a fair side to side hit
Totally agree. It really pisses me off when refs blow up this sort of challenge. Ffs there has to be some physicality in the game and this was a perfectly timed shoulder.
Watch it again. Stone wall penalty. Went through the back of him.
I have watched it again, side to side, perfect shoulder and he dislodges the ball. It's the type of challenge which is more often than not blown up but it shouldn't be.
That was my take on it
It's a nice connection, it's just late and therefore a foul. Correct call. It's not 100% "stonewall" but if it had not have been given, we'd be discussing how the ref bottled it and Gweedore had a legitimate shout for a penalty.

The odds seem to be very much based on the semi performances alright, I think Scotstown were shorter odds to win it outright before the semis than what you can get them at now just to win the final! Gweedore were live on tg4, shown doing a job on a big club name like Cross. Meanwhile Scotstown just about got over Coleraine less than convincingly. But that's a good scalp no matter how they got it, Coleraine are a quality team and probably didn't get enough credit from what I'd seen.
So based on their last showing, you could say it's fair to say Gweedore are favourites. But overall I'd still fancy Scotstown's chances, and them coming in under the radar somewhat and as underdogs will do them no harm. I feel as a team they've alot more to show than what we've seen already, and in Beggan they've one of the most influential players in the country this year playing at the top of his game. As a squad they've built up a good amount of experience at the Ulster club level now too. A repeat performance from the semis won't be good enough for them but I'd expect an improvement.

Beggan aside, the team has more Ulster experience than Gweedore, a few hard defeats over the years too which will stand by them.. Derry champions in Ulster do very well, its a tough enough championship to win and remember S'niel were good Ulster champions.
Though it will be a different final pairing for a change, which is great for the neutral.. Gweedore have a very good mix, they seem to have agreat purple patch in their games this year which wins them the match. just feel this game is a 50/50 game, possible draw
Quote from: yellowcard on November 19, 2018, 04:01:37 PM
Just seen the Scotstown v Coleraine highlights, it was some kick again from Beggan to win it 5 minutes into injury time. Coleraine must be ruing those missed chances though.
You won't see too many goals better than McCarthy's goal and the second Coleraine one in this years club championship.
https://www.bbc.com/sport/gaelic-games/46227611
an absolute beaut, class. Coleraine blew that game, what a sitter to miss.
I see that that only one Donegal club has won an Ulster Club before and that was an amalgamated ballyshannon budoran team.
Wonder what ground is on standby for tomorrow ?
Serious rain and with Omaghs track record .....

I fancy Scotstown for this game, though it could go to extra time
Very evenly balanced match with no shortage of quality given the conditions. Scotstown are happy to defend deep and play on the counter attack. Gweedore seem to have a bit more quality but they are being frustrated by Scotstown.
Could go down to the wire this one.
With Donegal not being able to have Murphy in MF and FF at the same time, the FF solution was staring them in the face - Big Cass.
Hard to watch down the Gweedore end now with that sun.
Super score from McCarthy there.
Darren Hughes has put in some shift today putting in tackles and driving forward.
Christ, Scotstown should have took a shot instead of hitting a cross field pass in those conditions
Controversial decision by the ref there to deny Gweedore.
He threw it alright.
Definitely a throw ball.
Didn't see the throw ball at all at the time, good call
Cassidy had a chance right before it, did not pass went for glory.
Gweedore have been much better, missed a fair few handy chances in the 2nd half there.
Blatant throw ball at the end, good catch by the ref. Could be a psychological head f**k for Gweedore.

Correct decision having watched the replay, very brave decision.
Brainless decision to throw it there anyway, it's not like he was falling over and it was a desperation throw. He had plenty of time to pop a quick hand pass before the contact.

That's probably true but dont think he'd have been up for it with new bar and young family.
I'd say he's been training as hard and often with Gweedore as he would with the county.
Great spot by referee. Draw fair enough I think. Great captaincy by Cassidy at end.
Think both these teams deserve a replay for a game of this magnitude, not a 20 minute lottery on a very poor pitch.
Scotstown had a decent attack thwarted by the pitch heading for injury time when Darren Hughes pass stuck like glue to the poor surface and they were turned over.
Brilliant call by Mooney but why did he not make a proper hand pass, both hands were free. Could be so costly.
Beggan, foot like a piston.

Yes but there's a tight turnaround for the AI semis.
Definite red here.
Absolutely stupid by Carey.
Absolutely brainless by Carey, what on earth was he thinking. He coughed up possession softly just before that and the lost the rag trying to get it back. He'd been having a good game too.
What a ridiculous thing to do in an Ulster final.
What a dick! Ref yellow for the first arm round the neck but his second dig to the face! Madness
Quote from: farset on December 02, 2018, 03:43:15 PM
Another good call. That's a punch to the face.
Striking = Red
Still won't make much of a difference with the blanket defence
It will make a difference, Carey is Scotstown's free taker inside Beggan's range and he was top scorer today with 6 pts.
Hope this ends in a draw now, neither side deserve to lose this.
Cassidy is some man to win ball, first to nearly every ball put in.
Didn't see until the replay there now that Carey hit him a second box with the right hand too. Absolutely idiotic, in a tight game like this it could make all the difference.

Congrats to Gweedore, more heartbreak for Scotstown. A hardy contest on a heavy pitch
That was a tough game to win, the players look well knackered. Good luck to Gweedore.
Fyi free kick comp is from the D not the 45, rule was changed. Well done Gweedore, scotstown will be annoyed they didn't get a better shot off in the last few mins.
Very hard on Scotstown there was nothing between the sides. Fair play to Gweedore they showed some bottle after going 3 down in normal time in an attritional game.
Really enjoyed that, delighted for GD feel sorry for Scotstown, Darren Hughes didn't deserve to be on a losing team.

It wasn't just the last kick, there were a few occasions like that for Scotstown. Like at the end of normal time Heaphey then Hughes had it on the right wing with a bit of time and space, but instead it ended up in a cross field kick pass which bounced in a puddle.

Personally thought he was a liability. Kieran Hughes was booked early on for a high tackle on him and then he spent the rest of match trying to get Hughes sent off. Referee even had a word with him before half time. Hughes wasn't much better than him. If they both tried to play their teams would be better off.
I met a wise sage before the Cargin v Gweedore qf tie, who told me to get on Gweedore for Ulster. He'll be smiling tonight.

First time i noticed this happening, both teams provided the referee with a new team sheet at start of extra time. Under official guide deemed a new game
Very entertaining game of football played by 2 very committed sides. The pitch in Omagh is poor and not worthy of a game of this quality.
Athletic grounds surely would have provided a better playing surface for a game of this magnitude, Omagh pitch is renowned for being a wet pitch and there were a few patches with surface water that players had to tread like eggshells around.
Not sure who the referee was but he had a very good match and despite both teams getting bodies back, it was a real battle with no shortage of quality given the conditions.

Referee was Noel Mooney from Cavan. Miles ahead of any other referee in Cavan especially McQuillan.
The ref took his time with dishing out the red card to Carey, was he waiting for the confirmation via his earpiece?

It also would have provided an atmosphere for the game which Omagh can never do on any occasion. Unfortunately that would have given the Gweedore people a further 35 miles to travel.
Full credit to the players for keeping their feet throughout the game given the amount of rain that fell in Omagh today. The game must have been in some doubt given the rainfall on Saturday and through the night.

He did really well in a difficult game with tensions running high and some difficult players on each side. He took his time and was never the centre of attention that so many of the so called top referees seem to want to be nowadays. He kept his cool, worked with his officials and took no nonsense from either side.
Fair play to Cassidy at the end of the normal time when he diffused the situation as his players surrounded the referee to complain about his last decision against them and managed to keep some lunatic back from the sideline who was rushing towards the ref.

Took his time and got the right decisions, he's talking to 7 officials, live! Job done
Forgot to say thought the ref was very good.
Great to see some positivity about a referee display. Tough intense game in horrible conditions. I thought he did a top job.
Kevin Cassidy is still a quality player. Great outlet in the ff line. Comfortable off either foot.
A good game gane for the conditions. Both teams are direct.

That should be a cracking match. Corofin waltzed through Connacht. Gaoth Dobhair had 2 tough matches against Cross and Scotstown. Both teams feature top notch players. Corofin would be favs but Gaoth Dobhair are the kind of team that could bate them.
Cassidy is a great focal point for any forward line - played really well.
Best refereeing display I have seen in a long time
Omagh is still a hellhole of a pitch
Atmosphere in last 5mins of normal time was as good as I have heard in a club game
McGee's are nearing the end - heavy pitch and ET really showed on them
D Hughes was fantastic and has a superb engine
No 7 for Gweedore is a horrible player. Have watched Gweedore 3 times this year and the diving, yapping, goading other playing is worse than any other player I have seen.
Looking forward to Gweedore v Corofin - fascinating battle
Odhran is a once in a generation player. So stylish on the ball
Carey fully deserved to be sent off - will be a sick lad today
Have to say I was impressed with Gweedore this Ulster campaign, very good team. Makes me wonder how they hadn't won a county title with this group til now? I know they've a good young crop that have come through lately but Cassidy and the McGees were there for ages and that's a strong base as it is, and I'm sure McNiallais is around a good few years now too. Was the Donegal championship particularly hard to get out of, or were there other issues within the club? Think I heard Cassidy allude to that before.
They weren't good enough. And this year the bulk of their team also won an Ulster U-21 club title.
Also, Kilcar weren't a factor this year after losing Patrick McBrearty and Ryan McHugh for the championship. They themselves came very close to Ulster success last year.
Ah right, knew they had an injection of youth but didn't know it was to that extent. Seems like they've a perfect blend of youth and experience this year and they took their opportunity well.
One of the Gweedore players said in an interview last week, that they weren't fully committed, fighting among themselves in the past.There was friction after Cassidy was dropped by Donegal. The McGees backed Jim Mc
Cassidy was player manager last year. He wasn't going to play this year but was persuaded back. Some turnaround

Ah right, knew they had an injection of youth but didn't know it was to that extent. Seems like they've a perfect blend of youth and experience this year and they took their opportunity well.
Hard luck to Scotstown/An Bhoth
Unlucky against both Cross and GD. But you have to seize the moment

That youngest player happened to be Mayo's top scorer over the last number of years. Do you Mayo lads spent the winter watching re-runs of the lost All Ireland finals?

Every county has those coulda shoulda woulda moments but losing isn't usually about moments. It's about players not performing. Whereas if you win by a point everyone played well...
Quote from: Taylor on December 03, 2018, 08:09:08 AM
Cassidy is a great focal point for any forward line - played really well.
Best refereeing display I have seen in a long time
Omagh is still a hellhole of a pitch
Atmosphere in last 5mins of normal time was as good as I have heard in a club game
McGee's are nearing the end - heavy pitch and ET really showed on them
D Hughes was fantastic and has a superb engine
No 7 for Gweedore is a horrible player. Have watched Gweedore 3 times this year and the diving, yapping, goading other playing is worse than any other player I have seen.
Looking forward to Gweedore v Corofin - fascinating battle
Odhran is a once in a generation player. So stylish on the ball
Carey fully deserved to be sent off - will be a sick lad today
Thought it was an epic battle on a rotten day on a rotten pitch. Both sides deserve huge credit for the shifts they put in. If ever a draw was the fairest outcome this was it but there has to be a winner.
Surprised Mac Niallais got MOTM. I know he got scores at crucial times but i'd have had cassidy and oCearbhail ahead of him and also mcardle and d hughes from Scotstown. D Hughes was outstanding. Carey will be sick about the red but he had 6 points on the day - played very well.
Agree about the #7. He didn't stop all day and the linesman should be helping the ref there. He blocked k hughes off the ball at one stage and it should have been a close in free. I wouldnt blame the ref as it was right in front of the linesman.
Omagh and rain don't mix.... hopefully the ulster council will take note. Games of this importance shouldn't be played on a bog.
Finally.... i fancy Gweedore to go all the way. If they go easy on the sauce over the winter they're as good as anyone left in it. That scotstown team is still young enough too. No reason they can't bounce back.
Why do people call them Gweedore? It is not their name.
Gaoth Dobhair. They are proud Gaelgeoiri and they have a Raidio na Gaeltachta station.

Radio na Gaeltachta is a complete white elephant - after years of utterly horrendous figures in the JNLR they pulled out of it - the fact that they were getting trounced in every one of the Gaeltacht areas by the local English language radio stations really exposed how low the actual real-world demand was for RnG. The RnG strategy nowadays seems to be keep the head down and hope no-one asks any awkward questions about the fact that millions of Euros are being spent every year on an absolutely tiny listenership.

Neil McGee and Kevin Cassidy calling out Corofin is one of best things I've seen on social media, bit of craic and totally against the say nothing and keep saying it mantra we see every day from Dubs, Kilkenny, Kerry, blah blah blah.
Might be better complaining of more subtle alcohol industry advertisement.

I'm sure slaughtneil etc did it too but we just didnt get the twitter videos so easily from high profile players. It's great to have a small insight into the celebrations. That's what club GAA is all about for me. The players who have slogged all year getting to go on the rip together and celebrate their success as a community! The game is becoming far too serious without removing this craic!!
That looked a good bit of craic.....Cassidy was like Paddy Doherty calling out the Corofin lads😂
Fair play to them.
Thought it very funny. Cassidy is in some shape. They should enjoy it.

100% correct, deserve to let lose for a couple of days, a once in a life time achievement for some, every team and club do it and all levels and codes, too many PC brigade in the modern era giving out, what next.
Yeah Cassidy has got himself in some shape this season and he'd hardly be in that shape if he was at that all the time. He just strikes you as one of these boys who when they're "on it" they're on it but probably don't do it that regularly. I would also imagine that missing out on the Ai this is maybe the biggest win of his career so a massive deal for him.

I know! I recall when we won the first Ulster we drank in Belfast till Wednesday, I had a professional law exam on Friday so had to take Thursday off, went back at it Friday and Saturday, played the u21 final on Sunday and won it and then went on it again for a few days.... the thing was too we beat Bellaghy in the final and we drank with Harpo Doherty, Joe Cass and the Bellaghy crew all week....Harpo and myself drank a tray of Guinness from teh Hatfield that was at least 2 months out of date ;D
Anyone know what the attendance was for the Ulster final last Sunday in Omagh?
