Down Club Hurling & Football

2 Kilcoo stories this week, 2 standard acts from that shower.

1) Brannagan biting a burren player in reserve game
2) Demanding that CB remove P.F as referee on Sunday

On what basis are they demanding the change of referee? They have some arrogance to even suggest it.

Burren were just as bad with some of the antics they were up to
Also if you knew exactly what the whole truth around Faloon then they have every right to object to his appointment.

What are you insinuating? What do you mean 'the whole truth around Faloon?'

What happened?

[Sandstorm]

Premier Reserve championship, injured Burren player attended to by 2 Kilcoo medics. What's the world coming to? Not a word of that on this forum.

Thats good to hear Sandstorm, the way it should be! Was it the young lad that was bitten by a kilcoo player/senior Management member or a different Burren player?

The Kilcoo player in question mustn't be to fussy on what he eats

[Dubh driocht]

Paul Faloon is an excellent referee and is a good selection to referee our showcase final. Full stop.
I have no idea if Kilcoo have objected to the appointment and I have no idea what these vague insinuations are.  But nobody should make any comment without accurate facts. So in absence of same, let us look forward to an epic battle between two great clubs and the two best teams in our county.

Stream for the junior final only loading up 30 seconds before the throw in. No information on teams or even 15 minutes of build up to talk through routes to the final. Absolute shambles. You can be sure there will be a full hour of coverage before the Kilcoo and Burren game and a good half hour or more before the intermediate

Are you surprised? Given that the county board squeezed most of the JFC in to Saturday afternoons, which impacted smaller clubs due to player unavailability with work or soccer clashing with the games, there is clearly disdain towards the competition.

Thought it was a great final last night. Quality in both teams . Hopefully  Drumaness will get a good run in Ulster. The Saturday games should be looked at, but the round robin format ensures JFC clubs are getting plenty of games which can only be good

Looks very likely that Down football final will be postponed on Sunday and rearranged for either 20/21 October. Kilcoo have went to Croke park with objections to the ref, now it transpires that whatever the outcome tomorrow morning, the county referees have took a stance of support and no-one will "stand in" as alternative which at this stage leaves rearranged game more likely, with discussions on a resolution to the saga early next week being organised.

Bit of a mess that.

[TakeTheMark]

Hope TG4 have a good programme to replace it then

Decision due to be made this afternoon

[Mourne Red]

Seeing as Kilcoo FB is advertising the match for tomorrow and also the fact it's on TG4 I'd say if that's true that they refusing because of the ref theyve been told to wise up and play the game.

Jesus if every club objected to which ref was doing their game then half the games wouldn't be played.
