Ulster Club SFC 2024

I thought Oguz was anonymous in the second half other than the monster fetch towards the end. On the other side, I thought Harte was very quiet in the first half.

Have to agree with this. Didn't notice Harte first half at all.
Nearly felt for E Brannigan at the end

Ah I'd not go that far, now.

There you go Tyrone club championship the most competitive in the land. Relegated team Clonoe very near bate Errigal, lost in a replay... Typical Kilcoo cynicism lost them that ..

Clonoe probably should've won the first game. Pomeroy could've won the first round when they were chasing the goal. Killyclogher could've forced the game to a replay only for Harte last kick of the game. Trillick only lost by a point too. People can have their own opinions but I don't think any other championship is close in terms of how close the teams

[thebigfullforward]

Anyone see what happened in the first half with R. Canavan? Ball looked to be coming in at just below chest height and Kilcoo boy looked to have gone in with the foot

[Sheedy]

Was at the match and thought the ref was very harsh on kilcoo, don't know what it was like on TV. Errigal should've had at least one black card, one in the first couple of minutes was as blatant as it gets.

The red card happened just in front of me and think it was Barry Cassidy gave it rather than the ref, though it should have been a free in instead of a hop ball, the defender lay on the ball on the ground and he ended up hopping it which was strange.

Kilcoo will be kicking themselves, they held the Canavans well, were probably the better team but missed a couple of crucial ones at the end

Easy enough to answer.

If you'd like football to be a hard game rooted upon regular one on one physical joists then the referee called it perfectly.

If you'd prefer it that every challenge is gauged not just on what happened but on likelihood of someone getting hurt, then the referee called it all wrong.

I'm in the former camp myself.

Agree 100% on this. It was a red but should have been a free in for Kilcoo rather than a throw up ball, prior to the incident. I never like to see a referee throw it up - back yourself and make a decision FFS.
You must have been in same area as myself watching the game. Two, possibly 3 Errigal men should have been black carded. McDonnell after a few minutes, Ciaran Quinn for 2 pull downs and McGinley near the end.
But Kilcoo had a few bad late sly digs also which went unpunished.
But Errigal deserve immense credit - they have won a lot of tight games this season in Tyrone and Ulster and it has left them battle hardened.
The Canavan lads will never be as quiet again - they will be hard stopped from here on and will fancy themselves.

You missed Ryan Johnston going for the light heavyweight title in the second half.

Their relentless commitment to being complete tramps is somewhat...well, not admirable, but something.

Watched that in real time and couldn't believe there wasn't a word  about it. One very clear strike and one fairly clear. Either could or perhaps should have been red.

Wasn't anything in it. I suppose on soccer there would have been a free but he didn't touch him

could list a host of things from both sides, that incident wasnt a red imo, there was more than one player giving out digs in that incident, 2 yellows and move on.
2 evenly matched teams that play on the edge, it what you want to see, Errigal are no angels either by the way.

[gallsman]

Wasn't a red!

He lost the rag and just started throwing boxes at a man who hadn't even fouled him. There wasn't even a hint of it being six of one and half a dozen of the other.

[befair]

Sending off (fully deserved) was again crucial, and not just a red card, but a red card for Kilcoo's best player.

[Armagh18]

Another week another bullshit red to save EC.

Aye, leading with an elbow to the head is mighty craic most weeks.

Mistimed shoulder ffs. Barely touched him

What a clown you are deserved red. You be the sort of man to say nothing happened on the armagh trip too.

Don't bring that into it.

I haven't commented on the Armagh trip, have no idea what went on and won't be commenting on it.
