TG4 - Club Championships Coverage

[imtommygunn]

You have a serious chip on yourshoulder.

Way more cynicism in first game than second game and it wasn'teven that bad.

[PW Nally]

When pretty much everyone is disagreeing with you and none of them are Kerry men you know you're wrong. The jersey coming off was two lads grappling and a shirt came off and was thrown away, not a particularly sporting incident but nothing that hasn't happened thousands of times before.

Right is right, even when nobody is for it and wrong is wrong, even when everyone is for it.

Spouting populist nonsense has absolutely zero relevance to the actuality of events.

[JoG2]

If a Tyrone side behaved like Crokes have done today, there would be people screaming blue murder over it.

Yer hole!

Sweep, sweep.

Good competitive club game,  no systematic sledging,  diving,  goading a player after a score,  spitting,  dropping knees into a man's back...so, not near Tyrones level.  Anyhoo,  the Tyrone club were relevant in this thread months ago

I'm just highlighting double standards and you're happy to out yourself as a hypocrite.

Kerry teams have plenty of previous for most of the above and other additional indiscretions too but you'd probably deny the holocaust too.

[Zulu]

Nonsense. There hasn't been systematic fouling by Crokes at all and they play a lovely brand of football. Yes, there probably was a black card in that incident you mention but besides that there hasn't been anything to complain about. Crokes deserving winners.

Buckley should have been black carded after about 10 minutes.

There was a free Lundy won in the first half, where he was caught with a high tackle as he was bearing in on goal. It was a certain yellow card, the player wasn't even spoken to.

The Crokes manager running on the pitch shouting at the referee when he gave a free against them.

Fitzgerald ripping the jersey off his man and then chucking it in the stand.

Casey going in with a sliding tackle on a lad going down on the ball and breaking into acres of space.

They played the ref like a fiddle, they were as cynical a side as you would come across and they preyed on a weak referee. But the usual see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil when a southern side engages in these tactics.

Again, nonsense with a hefty sprinkling of the put upon ulster paranoia. The jersey thing was nothing, the slide tackle was a simple foul that happens in games (nothing cynical about it), didn't see Pat O'Shea run on the field and most of the time the camera caught him giving out it appeared to be at his players, the high tackle on lundy was only a free and he would have only got a shot at a point anyway. Buckley could have a got a black alright but it was hardly overly cynical.

You're correct right is right but you're clearly wrong so I'll leave it at that. You can think what you like but I doubt many who watched the game without your chips on both shoulders will agree with you.

Very slow start from Corofin. Left them chasing the game all afternoon. 3 points down after 3 minutes. Lost first 5 of their own kickouts in a row. They were just getting into the game when they conceded a fluky goal which extended the Crokes lead to 5. Corofin had a go after half-time but missed a few chances and Crokes could sit on the lead, get a lot of players behind the ball and play on the counter-attack. Suited them perfectly. Ref definitely didn't do Corofin any favours overall but I thought he was just a bit clueless rather than biased. Kevin Walsh probably quietly happy that he'll get the Corofin players back sooner rather than after Paddy's Day.

[PW Nally]

How many will end up playing for Galway this year?

Sice
Silke
Farragher
Lundy?

[GalwayBayBoy]

How many will end up playing for Galway this year?

Sice
Silke
Farragher
Lundy?

Hard to tell really. Silke definitely. Sice probably. Lost of options amongst the forwards so difficult to tell this early what 6 will become first choice. Few others might make the squad.

You are some propagandist. It's incredulous that you have the nerve to label me paranoid when you come out with that.

The jersey thing was every bit as bad as Barry John Keane booting the ball away on Durcan in the 2014 All Ireland final.
The sliding tackle was a calculated, must foul this guy as he's breaking into acres of space. As cynical in motive as you'll find, you can't slide tackle in the game and you certainly can't slide tackle a guy going down on the ball. It's not a simple foul, it's one you rarely see in the game.
Pat O'Shea ran 10 yards in on the pitch and was barking over at the referee.
The high tackle of Lundy is a yellow card every day of the week.
The black card is a simple and very obvious decision.

I didn't realise this was a forum where people came to behave like ostriches.

I bet if he was a Tyrone man he wouldn't get a shot with Galway.

Looks a little too light for senior county football at the moment.

He's a similar stature to Danny Cummins and Eamonn Brannigan, he's better than he showed there today, as are most of that Corofin team, they seem startled by the ferocious pace Crokes started the game with and never got to grips with them really. They were coming back well when the 2nd goal went in and they panicked on the line, made lots of changes and the whole lot lost its shape completely. Referee was shocking, so inconsistent and refused to let the game flow. Clueless rather than biased as was said already.
