Ulster Club SFC 2024

[imtommygunn]

There is a lot goes on in gaelic matches - more football than hurling too. Refs will always miss some stuff and the two teams yesterday wouldn't be shrinking violets in terms of being up to stuff. (That's not a criticism it's the reality of winning teams in gaelic football). There's noise about cuala and how cynical they are too. I don't think the ref had a particularly bad game. He missed stuff but there is so much goes on in those games that you couldn't not.

I actually thought the early non black card decision was correct and there was a lot of momentum involved in that one. Is a block the way Ryan Johnston was blocked towards the end a black card? I didn't think it was but could be wrong.


Irrespective of anything I felt Kilcoo had the chances to win that and just didn't take them. The red card was ultimately their undoing as they were , slightly, the better team.

Hard luck to our men yesterday and congratulations to Errigal. Was a proper tight Ulster club game. Our lads put in a serious shift and were defensively sound, keeping the Canavan's relatively quiet. Errigal a good side and can't imagine their forwards being as well marked going forward. A few folk have already mentioned about the refereeing and missing black cards and the blatant square ball but there's not much point complaining about it now. The red card left us with a lot of work to do and we nearly pulled it off but can only admire our men for the effort they put in. We were a bit flat at times and didn't take some scores in vital moments but here that's football for ya.

Our men done the whole village proud and have given us great days out. They will take a well deserved break and we will see what next year holds for us.

I must add, we were sitting close to a big Errigal contingent, very good supporters and they gave their men some support. This Magpie hopes you can go on and win the whole lot.

Have to say I do admire your boys, dark arts aside. How big is Kilcoo and as has been asked what is the youth coming through like?

Glen in 2022 is the only 60-minute championship game that Errigal have lost by more than 2 points since a hammering they got in 2016. And even that Glen game they gave it a good rattle for long periods. That's an impressive record going back a long time of being there or there abouts in every knockout game year in year out.

I said they would be very close to Kilcoo at the bare minimum and I would expect the same against Dr Crokes and potentially Cuala if they make it that far.

2 players with senior county experience with Tyrone on each line except half back, CHB Niall Kelly the only to see Tyrone minutes, a top quality side

Do kilcoo have good youth coming through?

I wouldn't say they'd be blessed with the same underage success as the likes of Burren and Carryduff in recent years but they always seem to be able to add a couple of new faces to the panel every year

Ref missing the square ball to the first goal a mystery, he's about the only person didn't see it. Maybe more of a game changer, than the red card in hindsight, as Errigal were average enough in the first half.

Was it not a stonewall penalty that he missed before that square ball? Errigal had a bit of smash and grab yesterday but fair play to them. They'll dine on that for another 20 years.

Not sure if it has been mentioned here, but, surely if the goal didn't stand, EC would have got a penalty with the Kilcoo number 14 sliding in and bringing D Canavan down? Only seen it at the time / replay , haven't seen it since

Was the ref playing advantage?

I've no idea tbh, don't think the ref was in view during the play and my Irish is cothrom na féinne a bheith macánta

[Armagh18]

The square ball that was missed for the goal was a lot clearer than the one that was ruled out.
