All Ireland Club Championships

[grounded]

Kilcoo are masters at the dark arts of the game and Corofin got sucked into a war of attrition during normal time. Crippled with fear and allowed Kilcoo to get under their skin. Amazing what happens when they just cut loose and played their own game.

Tbh thats a bit of a lazy narrative.
      On the game itself, i thought Kilcoo just ran out of steam after playing with 14 for most of the second half. Kilcoo still had the chances to win in normal time but squandered a few. Although they never looked like scoring goals like they did in previous rounds.
       Corofin clearly a better team with a lot more scoring threat, but they were very nearly beaten today and but for the sending off and those squandered kilcoo chances they arguably should have been.

Corofin showed themselves to be the master of the dark arts today.

They can play it anyway you want and their results over the past 3 years against various tactics clearly show that.  Lost their composure towards the end of normal time but no doubt about their credentials in ET.  Worthy Champions again.

Daithi Burke is an amazing sportsman

3 in a row hurling all star
Now 3 in a row football club all Ireland

Kilcoo bring on two big men and still continued to play basketball. 7 points Down in ET, why not hoof it into them at FF? They were never going to score 7 points the way they were going.

Conor Lane is a dreadful referee

[Main Street]

Corofin well worth it in the end.
Kilcoo will rue the  3 or 4 decent chances they had to win the game with 14 men, they put in a stupenduos effort overall.

Tuam must be kicking themselves tonight.

Tuam must be kicking themselves tonight.

You think Tuam would have went on to win the AI if they had beaten Corofin? I doubt they would even win Connacht

Sending off was critical; 1st yellow was bought by a dive, 2nd card was warranted, v foolish from the Kilcoo player

[charlieTully]

Gutted for kilcoo. Amazing effort for such a tiny place. Total community buy in to get where they are.

Can Kilcoo really have any complaints when they continually dive and feign head injuries 

[Eire90]

is the club game  becoming too predictable aswell

Few would have predicted that Corofin would need extra time to win but well done to them, like Dublin in 2016, 2019 took their time and got the job done eventually.

They possibly might have won Connacht. They went toe to toe with Corofin twice. Don't think they would have gone any further though with no experience at that level.

There's zero chance they would have won the All Ireland to be fair.
Much like Mountbellew who took Corofin to a replay the year before,
they don't have the quality to do anything outside Galway.

[Maroon Manc]

Corofin were brutal today, think it took them over 20 minutes to score today and don't think they scored in the last 17 or 18 minutes either. The sending off helped Kilcoo, Corofin had just started to motor kicking 5 points early in the 2nd half. I'm glad the game went to extra time, we got to see them at their best.

You'd think Corofin had cheated their way to 4 All Irelands judging by some of the comments on here and on social media, they should be lauded for some of the football they've produced and not slaughtered for 5 minutes of cynicism which ended up backfiring on them.

Conor Lane is a joke, should never get another big game. The Kilcoo lad who was sent off was booked for nothing but apart from that they benefited from several poor decisions.
