In all grades how many times have we toppled kilcoo this year do you think, not including big red thon night 😁

Stevi introducing another ball onto the field at a crucial time, yes it is illegal , but can anyone lose an eye from it or does anyone get insulted by a barrage of sledging from it.. to me they are the dark arts!!  Concentrate on football and who knows where it might take yous through time, sure just look where it got us over the years 😁

Fair play to the Harps, a great side. Hopefully they stick to GAA and not get lost like the other Newry teams.

Jim.. enough is enough!! Come on now.. surely you have something to be doing

Stevi nicks.. wind your neck in, take the beating and quit your crying!! Mc kernan met the fella with super shoulder, shouldnt even have been a free!! Lets put the jealousy and bitterness to one side and agree that the cream always rises to the top, u14s, u 16s, minor finalists, 2nds semi finalists, 3rds finalists, senior double!! The aristocrats of down football, always have and always will be!! Past, present and future champions!! As i said dominating a county for so long but yet no return in ulster marks failure in my eyes, you need to cement your clubs name in ulster glory to be recognised as a great team, lets be honest down hav'nt produced any great teams since ourselves and it looks like its going to be left up to us to repeat the glory in the years ahead again. Heads up to kilcoo though, tried so hard.. failed and will go down as decent team in our local club scene.

Great sporting occasion today (which is the real winner ). Huge congratulations to ballyholland, a great side with classy players and just too good for us today. Well done to the seniors, commiserations to kilcoo and credit where due, today no old antics or unsporting conduct! They might be back, we go into ulster with no pressure, huge ask, (possibly not ready yet) but will aim to restore pride back to ulster club glory for the county as we have done so many time previously 😁👍#5ulstersinarow #proudhistory #futureisgreenandwhite

Champion 1981...while im glad you are aware that we represented down in glory through ulster and Ireland, you are veering away from my point which is the unfortunate and sad fact that very few people/clubs will commend or applaud your local achievements (down success) simply because of the cowardly disgusting shameful tactics you employ towards your opposition on a field of sport. Eye gouging , mouth gouging, racist verbal abuse, to name a few are not the antics associated to any sporting team who gain the respect of gaa followers and that is the bottom line, and still despite throwing everything at the kitchen sink so to speak you have retreated back home as failures outside your own county while gaining a shameful sporting reputation. #fact

kingpins you have an awful chip on your shoulder with the wee magpies 😂! jealous much?? regarding grabing/pulling testicles they would have serious bother getting hold /finding a burrens mans testicles 🙈😂! and if all this cr@p that you talk here is true,are they the only club in down/ireland that carry out this "ART" one talks of??🤔

You have alot of questions you want answered, so ill try my best. Jealous?? Of a club who fails once they step out of down despite trying every tactic in the book.. catch yourself on!! Yes they are Wee magpies, so you have noticed that aswell.. small in stature and miniscule when it comes to ulster or all ireland glory. Are you quoting this from experience going around grasping peoples balls 🤔... says more about yourself than anything. Dont even attempt the line if true as every one in down knows about the shameful antics and speaking to lots of clubs the magpies seem to be only culprits.. regarding rest of ireland, my own opinion would be yes as far as i know.  i know and have spoken to lots of clubs in ulster whom have no regard for the magpies because of their sporting manner lets say, although other clubs in ireland whom my club would have encountered and maintain a healthy respect for still, have never heard of them and probably never will encounter them to their delight!

Regarding Irish news article today and Mc Iver's quote " they (kilcoo) play on the edge but their desire is to get to the ball in a fair way, they have worked really hard in the training pitch to perfect their technique in the art of defending"

Is this man deluded or does he think everyone else is? What a complete loada dung and lies, eye gouging, squeezing testicles, nipping, kneeing , verbal insults, and much more to the list are no skills or arts you could contribute to defending!! They are acts of cowards and sneaky dirty disgusting actions like these should never be allowed on a gaa pitch, should never be tolerated and deserve to be stopped straight away before a disastrous consequence arises from it. The honours and awards a team collect are to be commended and applauded but definitely not when "tactics" like those mentioned above are used to attain these awards, hopefully the referee and county board are awake to this and especially in the week that has passed and brought shame to our county throughout gaa circles we can witness a great sporting occasion without "their art of defending" 🙈💩💩💩

All refs have a tough job on their hands and are no different to players in  terms of making a mistake here & there, but lately its been made even more difficult when a team focuses on nasty unsporting actions which are very hard to identify at that moment but naturally can provoke reactions from the opposition which in turn are more obvious and hence are inclined to be acted upon by the officials! It is these despicable and disgusting cowardly unsporting actions which whoever referees the final would need to be aware of and act upon with the appropriate measures to finally bring an end to it!! There is no place for it in our game and any club to associate themselves with that behaviour just epitomises the class or lack of it which they have!! So we can only hope next sunday evening we are able to talk about the great things in our game, not the ref and certainly not the *dark arts* !! Is it Up To Manager to eradicate these actions or maybe is that the instigator..

Champion 1981 obviously you are from a small club when your aspirations are to replicate a club who can only dominate a county but no ulsters or bigger glory.. set ur sights higher & reach for the sky!! Not the sky blues though as tonight slammed my predictions out the window, looks like 2nds & 3rds glory maybe the pinnacle now for next couple years although, the bench getting emptied with the aul crew might jeopardise their success next year. Was Mickey not available to rescue them? Who shall meet burren in final is anyones guess now as its a funny aul  game.. sometimes even hilarious! 😂

Looking forward to the weekend games , some tasty battles ahead. Mayobridge going well & looking to finish the season on high before benny goes to help tally. Definitely thnk there will be no more than couple points margin in this game and would fancy a draw. The game on saturday will be different story.. "eye gauge" a winning margin of at least 5 points to you know who.. but hopefully i could be wrong! ļ

Kilcoo have been hugely successful in down over the last decade and for a small area, really you have to congratulate them and tip your hat to them but lets be honest they were never good enough to capture that ulster title and what was even far more dissapointing was the manner and personality they shown to gaels outside our county. For me thats the bigger reason why our county clubs needs to topple them, at end of the day its a sport with no place for the racism allegations, the sickening verbals to opposing teams, the eye gouging and to bring things to a new low it was shameful to watch one of their own push a woman to the ground last week in full view of public and children!! Yes unfortunately that is how our county club football scene is represented and portrayed to those outside the county.. for me ultimately  that is the most dissapointing thing to sit alongside the fact that while dominating down they were unable to display any silverware or class in ulster!!

Seems to be the case white goodman, very sinister & unsporting behaviour which unless acted upon by the county board or match officials could end badly for a fella, soon be when playing the lough island reavy contingent safety glasses/goggles will soon need to be complusory. Disgusting and despicable behaviour on that regular of an occurance makes you question is it being coached and advised beforehand!!
