[I do think Kilcoo got away with an awful lot off the ball last night, but the linesman closest to the stand in the first half was a joke, the ginger boy, he seen Brannigan slap Maginn twice round the head off the ball and got away with it. Plus Kilcoo 3rd man tackled the ford nearly everytime the ball was released.]

MDG, which one of the Mc Evoys was wearing the white boots and no 29? He is a complete liability to your team and you would be safer off without a man like that playing because he could let you down and cost you in the semi final or final.

It was a terrible spectacle, a major let down and I feel a fussy referee and strong sideline officials could be Kilcoo s downfall as they are an extremely cynical team. Unfortunately its all falling into Burrens hands again, cant see Rostrevor getting within 5 or 6 points to be fair.

Brannigan gave maginn alot of abuse - shame because conor is a fair player.
who was that ginger lad?

[Sensible refereeing throughout by Rice who was quite right to penalise the idiots who engaged in nonesense at the end when the game was over and done with.]

Good team performance from Kilcoo tonight. If our forwards had of being more ruthless we would have won by a lot more. The ford had one tactic- put the ball in high. You'd think McGrath would have had the sense to change tactics after 15mins!
The game was was in last 30 seconds when the ref thought it'd be a good idea to send two men off (one from each) for what appeared to be handbags.
Now the yellas! Our 1st championship meeting in modern times.
To lose that match doesn't bear thinking about!!!!!!!!!!

Kilcoo won with good direct football, Bryansford's threat nullified by (a) too much handpassing followed by (b) silly route one lumping the ball to Kalum who was cleaned out time and again by McGrevy.

while we were well beat it needs pointed out paul devlin got off with throwing a punch at gribben in the first half directly in front of ref and linesman while two minutes later hanna got a yellow for pushing the 2 brannigans off maginn.
bryansford were tactically inept again and motivation wasnt there - why they set the team up to man mark kilcoo is madness - maginn needs to be chf, howard chb for a start - how the management didnt see after 20mins things needed to change is beyond me.
fair play to kilcoo though they are the team to beat and big mcgreevy looks fit for county duty.

no frimpong?

Any of you good Arsenal folk point me in the direction of 2 tickets for home game with Swansea on the 10th September (I think).

I'll try again, will this match go on general sale or do I need to look for someone with a membership to buy the tickets for me??

Please and thanks 

arsenal will all go general sale this season - last year they were easy to get, this year they will be giving them away for swansea etc.

I wonder does he epouse the big society model of community volunteerism, or has he an alternative for "his people that he represents" that does as much for society as the GAA.  No because like so many he couldnt be bothered if he wasnt getting paid for it.   Another sad attempt to politicize the GAA from a unionist politician.

a good charity would be the presbyterian mutual society who spunked their money on bad investments!!!!!!
the man is out of control.

and then Chelsea sign Mata!!!!!!! ffs.

James McCartan to get a new backroom team next season reported in todays Irish News - both Tally and McIvor are to be replaced.

Any recommendations?

How many days left in this transfer window?

Iniesta, Xavi and Messi would be nice. Throw in Vidic, Puyol and Rooney. London life, good football, £5 hotdogs.

here is a surprise;;;;;;;;;;

Couldn't see the Dundrum v Carryduff replay in a cluttered fixture list on down website.

As for favouites in the SFC it will be the usual suspects, Kilcoo, Ford, Bridge & Burren? (Longstone could ypset this too)

In the IFC, I take it the Newry bookmakers don't go to many matches. Clann's were brutal against a very poor Drumgath. Favourites must still be Annaclone despite their poor 2nd half last nite. Yes they are lucky to be still there but that's what makes champions. The winners of Shamrocks and Kilclief will push them to the wire.

As for the JFC, I didn't see any of the first games but looking at the results, is it a case of it's Saul's to lose?

Two replays in Newry 7pm and 8.30pm on a Wednesday Night - County Board are really thinking of the working man, any construction worker from stone or burren would need to leave work at 3pm - things are tight in the profession and the timings are wrong imo.

all im going to say is i can see two predictions that everyone has made that will be threatened big time one of which is in the snr and one of which is int.   I hope im right

put them up then...
