Very harsh man.
Anyone can have an off day.  He's some footballer.

Brolly, a guy who gave away his kidney, does literally copious amounts of charity gigs, goes to club events up and down the country for nothing, and we have gaels slating because he has a opinion that some of you don't like or agree with. The whole essence of being a barister is strongly putting across your opinion. And that's the bit that gets under your skin. The difference between brolly and McGregor is night and day.

His charity work or whatever doesn't excuse his outrageous outbursts over the year's especially the one towards Sean Cavanagh 10 years ago. He should have been booted from RTE at that point. Did Sean Cavanagh go running to solicitors?

Did he say anything litigious...did he threaten him in any way?
If I recall it correctly , he questioned Sean's manliness because of the cowardly and cynical way he pulled McManus to the ground. I think he was bang on the money for that one

Cargin learnt nothing from last year. What's the point it just trying to contain Glen? 2 points from play this year, similar last year. Why not have a cut if your players are as talented as you say they are? Some bit of whinging this year and last. If that's the height of your ambition; to limit Glen to a 4 point defeat, then you're never going to get past a first round in ulster. As for us, this is all new territory and we'll enjoy our moment on the sun as we know we'll fall back into the pack like every other club does. I'm enjoying the ride so far, we'll see where it ends. Not playing that well this year but just about doing enough. Our wide count yesterday is worrying as they were from good positions and under minimal pressure. We won't get away with that down the line. Scotstown looking like the firm team, that was a big scalp to take yesterday. 9 county players, jack mccarron now transferred in, they'll be hard to stop I think

Think you need to gave a word with your 'stats man' S H Cargin did score three points from play, not a lot but  Glen managed just  one more...2 from J Doherty, one each from corner back Michael Ward and Ciaran Mc Faula.
The rest from placed efforts, a few questionable.....

As for outa form players did Conor Glass get a kick at all?

Think you need to take another peek and at your recording and keep fingers crossed the Cavan man may be recalled North if Glen reach the final...

Ahem.....just for the record Country Bumpkin, we scored 5 from play in the game... 2 from JD, and one each from warnock, mcfaul and Ethan Doherty. Just wanted to tidy that up for you. And I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but Cargin only had 2 scores in the game from play....one in first half from your centre half back, and then one in the second from your sub Close. I think it's important that we try to be accurate when quoting stats.

f**k me like groundhog day talking about this match. get the f**k over it

Just a wee fact check chief, keeps the record straight, otherwise people just spout shit.

It should actually be more than a yellow card, and it should  definitely be a free if there no advantage.

If you're hitting the player late and he's planted on one leg kicking that's a dangerous tackle, knee ligaments and potentially leg breaker.

Make it a red, take it out of the game. Players have had careers ended with tackles like this, not always overly malicious but definitely wreckless and dangerous.

Think they'll need a goal to beat Glen, though one lad here thinks Glen are average 

Haven't worked out if you're deliberately misquoting me yet or you actually can't interpret what I said wee man.

Good game today, some effort from Trillick despite missing someone of Mattie Donnelly's quality, much to be admired.  I'm not sure Scotstown have the mobility to beat Glen (FYI MR2 see what I said earlier about runners).  I thought the ref was good today also, good job you weren't stuck in the middle today MR2.

These are your quotes on Glen


Maybe Glen just are not as good a team as everyone makes out??

A team of runners with average football ability.

I simply don't belive Glen are the team they are hyped to be

There's no extra gear in Glen

So where did I say they were an "average team"?

Let me break it down for you...... A team of runners (they are almost all mobile, can run, pacey) with average football ability (they are not all natural or good footballers).

The evidence to date would back that up, as would the excuses wheeled out to date on here .....

Kicking so many wides, missing "easy" scores, those are what sets good players apart.  Look at the distribution of their scores from play..... There are a lot of players on that team not able to kick scores at this level.... and lots of them are lining out as forwards. And yet everyone makes excuses over and over again for them..... As if it's a given that it's about to happen.

We're told about this extra gear that they have (someone else's words, not mine) that they didn't use against 14 man Cargin and I presume that they didn't use yesterday again, yet..... They beat 14 men for 2/3 of a game by 4 and almost got dumped out last night.

That's the evidence.

What evidence are you providing otherwise?

Is it wrong on all that we've seen to date to say that "Maybe" they aren't the team that they're hyped to be. The only duffings they've handed out were within Derry.

Someone has a different opinion from you, I get it, you don't like it, you try to dis it. Just as you do with a whistle in your hand.

You take everything out of context in an attempt to be funny.  How many Glen games have you actually watched or attended this year to be such an expert?  I will guarantee it's fewer than I have.

Jesus Oso, let it go man.....you lost. Take your oil.

No that's not a myth, that did actually happen.

You were there and saw it?

It was *allegedly* in the middle of the pitch in croke park...

There we go, two contradictory versions already

No that's not a myth, that did actually happen.

I think Morrissey was asking McKinless about Mickey Harte because he thought Derry players may have mixed feelings about him but I don't think Morrissey realised that McKinless is from County Tyrone. I assume he lives on the Tyrone side of that parish. I wouldn't be surprised if he grew up supporting them.

Ballinderry where mckinless is from a strange part of world half the village Tyrone half derry

Didn't enda Muldoon play for derry minors against them one day, and then wore a tyrone top walking about during the senior game, or is one big myth as I never saw it with my own eyes !

Urban myth....he's one of Derry's greatest

Mckindless family would be Derry to the backbone

These are salty salty tears from the Lough shore.
Let me simplify this for you boys...you could be out there with headlamps on, playing to now, and you still wouldn't be able to score enough to beat us.

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.

We aren't talking about the same thing. You're referring to Glen player's taking on shots under pressure from areas they might not normally shoot from and about guys taking on the shots who aren't the reliable shooters.  I call that smart defence on cargin's part.

I'm referring to Cargin missing scoreable frees and possibly still being on par going in at HT a man down.

Cargin scored twice from play. Shivers had 2 frees that he should have nailed. Glen left another 5 easy scores from very kickable positions in the first half alone. It was a 4 point hammering.
Cargin just didn't show enough ambition going forward to win any of the two games. It was all about containment

I was at the game and it happened right in front of us. McCann lifted his elbow into an unnatural position and caught Mcguckin on the jaw/cheek. Straight red all day long.

Dunloy are formidable opposition, but I'd be optimistic that PG1 can make the final. No point in taking any other viewpoint Lar. Some great matches in store.

PG1 be in the Final without a doubt

Dunloy have had their big win against a quickly fading LD. They'll not repeat it against PG1, not a hope in hell. PG1 with a comfortable win.
As for the other semi, the illustrious Lavey contingent will put it up to Cargin and if Cargin perform like they did the last day then they're gone.

It's a funny old game CK.
