Down Club Hurling & Football

[Lecale Gael]

There should only be junior bs in div 4 a and 4 b
The bigger clubs premier reserves shud be nowhere near the ACFl
Their thirds maybe

Ccc proposal is a disastrous quick fix. Wouldn't be in favour of it at all

[Lecale Gael]

It was not a smack in the jaw, it was a shoulder and as deets said the Barrs man was goading PD  when he was ready to hit the free which Choc did not approve of so he shouldered him.

Goading a man ready to hit a free kick and Choc did not approve... Are you shitting me?? It was Kilcoo that started that shite in our county shouting and roaring when men are standing over a free and 3,4,5 men in close proximity to the kicker shouting like they are trying to organise men around them.. Didn't approve - don't make me laugh. Got taste of his own medicine. Red card is a red card - it should stand. But I still expect them to beat Crokes by 6+ points without him..

LOL Say it how it is then

When goading began ref should have stopped PD and advanced the ball 13 m. Not allowed to distract a free taker under the newly introduced rule in 2021

He penalised Kilcoo for the very same thing about ten mins before the end of the game. The Barrs free kicker seemed to loose his footing as he struck the ball, the ball hit the upright and went out of play, but the ref moved the ball up for someone shouting at the free taker.

If you took the top 25 out of the big clubs then you have left with a sprinkling of seconds and mostly thirds players as the games would take place at the same time.

I reckon that only Burren, Kilcoo, Mayobridge, Clonduff, and Carryduff would have the strength to do this. I am not even sure if they would have the appetite for it bar Burren who are losing more players than they are keeping by all accounts. Those named clubs' thirds team would compete well in division 4.

The county board should try to encourage more teams into the senior championship with amalgamations from div 3 and 4 clubs only

could people see this work? it was never given the right opportunity years ago

Has anyone ever looked into the fact that half the Kilcoo team aren't suffering from long term head injuries?

Re-watched the match over, 4 times they went down clutching their face when not touched.

Harps back to OHanlon doing the same against Cross few years back. Scored a free. Goaded cross player, shouldered then dived and rolled all over the ground.

Not doing anything anyone else isnt, what about the barrs man that scored the goal...just give them the credit they deserve.

Did anyone notice how Choc reacted (or rather didn't react) to red card ? Not one bit of protest. Have to give him some credit for that considering all the circumstances ie incorrect call and last kick of an AI semi final. I don't believe any of the other Kilcoo players protested either but stand to be corrected on that

Sorry but no credit should be given for a man not reacting for being punished for doing something completely daft and outside of the rules.

Down are 11/2 to win Saturday. Fairly massive price at home, are Galway that good and Down that poor?

Not a Down man but I'm not convinced they're that much of an underdog at home.

[Sandstorm]

Why not put all the jealousy aside for the next 10 days and wish Kilcoo good luck. Would it not be a big lift to Down football if there was an All Ireland title in the county?
Whatever you think of them you have to agree they are some outfit and we would all like our club to be in their position.

We were 5-1 last weekend and the Bookies like most of us know the Form.

Aiden Brannigans red card overturned and he's free to play in final. Correct decision.

I don't think it's jealousy that some people do not support Kilcoo, it's been certain incidents over the years which have rubbed people up the wrong way.

I will be fully behind my East Down counterparts. Good to see Choc getting off

Farcical decision.
