Quote from: Applesisapples on August 18, 2024, 11:32:49 PMCross missed a lot in the game, but Clans were superb.Some great young players. Rian got two yellows nothing trampish about them. Ref was eccentric and in my view favoured Clans at times. Still deserved victory for them but Cross look like they have a gear or two.
I thought he was quite hard on Clan na Gael, certainly the home supporters weren't too endeared by him. Men running about with their shirts completely ripped off, a text book black card offence ignored, a penalty to Rangers and persistent off the ball crap ignored.

Maybe the players could take a bit of responsibility?

I'm 80% sure Rian got a straight red at the end there but was at the far side, old age & them colours all look the same from that distance.
It was a decent game with both teams having their chances, I thought Clans just about deserved it but we're under no illusion that Cross will be a different animal later in the Championship (like last year) and will get better. Clans are a young team and maybe a few younger ones got a wee bit carried away with the win but sure for them beating Cross in a Championship games is unheard off so let them have their 5 mins of joy.
Though the Ref was ok, a few ones i was frustrated with and a few soft enough too so suppose they evened themselves out. Was standing beside a few North Armagh ones (club not disclosed) who let a few roars out of them when Cross scored their two early goals, I suppose it's their prerogative who they cheer for but you'd think if they have any ambition of winning the Championship they'd want the big guns out early.

Cross and Clans are both going to qualify regardless so while the result is a good one for the Lurgan mens belief probably won't matter in the grand scheme of things.  Clan na gael will benefit from being drawn in the same group as Cross as repeat pairings means they won't play again to final in all likelyhood should both teams go that far.  Impressive wins for Cullyhanna and Harps, Clann Eireann did what they expected to do.

What did Rian do for the red didnt seem to be picked up?

Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

I think he got a straight red. Didnt see the ref - and I agree with you about him by the way - flash a yellow before the red? Take nothing away from the Clans though. Theyll certainly be in the mix again
Perhaps I was mistaken, I thought I saw him flash the yellow, but whilst Cross were poor Clans looked a good team and Soupy played really well as did McPartlan, of the Cross Armagh contingent only Cian Mcconville looked like he cared.

Just looked at it again on GAAGO, ref had back to the camera but looked to me like he flashed a straight red. Couldn't see any yellow.

you could be right mate. Agree with the rest. Soupy alluded to the fact cross wouldnt be at it in his post game IV also

Hear we might get a Tyrone championship match on TG4 this year as Tyrone TV coverage is not happening??

What has happened there? I remember discussing it here last year and stating their approach wasn't very sensible (covering every single game live, rather than selecting attractive fixtures for coverage). Especially in the dodgy stick era.

3-5 from 8 shots in the 1st half alone. 'If we have the ball, David Clifford doesn't have it' manager Liam Hassett said post-match. Ten points from the Eoghan Hassett, son of Adrian helped Laune Rangers on their way to winning.

Captain Scarlet

In Kildare Naas won handily and without Kirwan. They should do it again and push hard for Leinster.

Like in fairness they would have 1 already but for Shane Walsh transfer...

And Turbo got a red card, which may reduce CE for a game or two.
