Have no problem with the penalties, everyone knew about it in advance, and especially given the fuss after McCavana waved off the first semifinal replay last year. Cracking penalties they were beaten by too.

imtommygunn

Agreed. Great penalties.

Great service it has to be said. Great to see these games and free at that.

I think portglenone just about deserved it. Good game which hopefully won't be remembered for the ref.

So it was Sean Laverty on Sunday and Eamon McAuley tonight... who's turn is it next week???

imtommygunn

Some free kick by portglenone too for the leveller. Them and Creggan will be sick of the sight of each other.

You only had to read the comments to realise the ref was creating plenty of talking points... Any which way great game and great to be able to see it.

Cargin would have to be clear favourites father that win. I think everyone thought they'd win but be rattled.

You don't need to wait till next week, there are still plenty of games left this week...

Ps real good penalties, quality under pressure
Pss we used to play till much darker in our street
Psss there are still floodlights in the county ground
This is not Irish dancing. -RH

fantastic coverage of the game yet again. cruel way to lose again but then again there are no replays allowed atm.

Really does make you cringe when you think that our own centre of excellence hasn't got flood lights at this stage. Has to be a priority for going on next year to get them in place.
hurl like f**k boi!

Relief to have got though last nights epic. Could have gone either way, both teams will watch the match and talk about ifs and buts. Portglenone are still a coming team and to get their first ever championship win against St Galls is another milestone.

St Galls lost nothing in defeat, truly hope we havent seen the last of some of their older statesmen who can all still play ball as witnessed last night. Niblock still easily the best ball winner in the county, please Lenny and Kevin go grab a coffee sometime.

Three SW teams in the semis is another first ever stat -  and Aghagallon so close to making it a full hand!

aw good god no! lol

I left at half time of that final, id see enough of it to do me, esp after watching our minor footballers beforehand actually play football.

Assume CJ McGourty injured last night?  Massive loss.  St Galls win with him on the pitch.

Jeepers Creepers

Good to hear that Mike Literos getting a shout from California by Jerome LOL. Anyone else hear that?

imtommygunn

Saw the facebook comment but hadn't it on at that point. Little to be doing lol.

bannside

Re CJ - was he removed from the St Galls bench by the referee for constant verbals? Maybe carded? Not sure, heard that "rumour" maybe someone better placed can confirm!

bannside

He does score a lot of frees dosent he, and I didnt see Bradso miss many!! Arguably the loss of Niall Mc Keever after 10 mins and Dermot Mc Aleese after 20 mins was a far bigger loss to Portglenone.

If and Buts Christmas Lights?

imtommygunn

He missed one that would have had a pretty major bearing though!
