Best game of football I've seen in years. Fair play to both teams. Jarlath Burns' victory speech also went into extra time!

Probably never happen but I like the idea of it.Quote from: Whishtup on July 30, 2023, 10:41:50 PMQuote from: From the Bunker on July 30, 2023, 10:06:37 PMWould be interesting to get a take on it from a female intercounty player. I was at ladies final day a few years back and found it too long with the 3 matches. Could do senior with the men's. Those finals are usually cracking games too. I'd like to see it if there was an appetite from the ladies themselves.Quote from: Whishtup on July 30, 2023, 10:02:44 PMQuote from: Captain Obvious on July 30, 2023, 09:39:41 PM
The tradition of playing All Ireland Minor finals before senior finals replaced by a bit of music. The Stunning today in front of empty Croke Park.
I'd like to see the ladies final on the same day. This ear would have been ideal if they had lined it up.
No - Ladies Finals Day is Ladies Finals Day. Senior, Intermediate and Junior. It's the day to celebrate Ladies Football and does not need to be diluted by the Mens game.
There is a transient audience on Ladies All Ireland Finals day. Fans are coming and going. You take away the Senior Final and the other Finals fall on their face and there is no Intermediate or Junior Finals in Croke Park.

Quote from: highorlow on July 16, 2023, 06:26:12 PMBit of a difference, in all fairness. O'briens wasn't anywhere near a free whereas Clifford's shoulder was a meaty one and straddles the dangerous play area. Anyway, wides and poor shooting cost Derry. Kerry very, very lucky there.
You could say the Clifford shoulder which was a turnover ball for Kerry but was a mistaken free for Derry was a momentum changer in the first half. Derry should've taken that goal chance, instead of soccer shit he should've picked her up and buried it.
Quote from: manfromdelmonte on July 16, 2023, 06:06:49 PMThat was a gamechanger. Momentum swung Kerry's was at that moment. Derry were marginally he better team, just showed a bit of niaivity in front of the posts in the second half, with some excellent blocks and saves by Kerry also. But as someone said already, the big teams get the breaks. Would like to know what mcquillan said to mcguigan before that last kick?Quote from: yellowcard on July 16, 2023, 05:52:28 PMThe o';brien one wasn't a free. He just went so low with his sidestep that he fellQuote from: AustinPowers on July 16, 2023, 05:48:37 PMQuote from: Aaron Boone on July 16, 2023, 05:30:31 PM
Joe has been given his orders.
Mc quillan is the most infuriating referee I've ever seen . I'm all for having respect for official s , but by Christ he makes it so hard for people to do that. Those two very soft frees effectively won Kerry the game . I ain't from Derry but I am absolutely raging . I dunno how Derry folk are feeling
I didn't think either were free kicks and it's amazing how McQuillan is still continuing to get big games at this stage. He must have connections because it's not based on competency. His job is not to make the game a close contest it's to apply the rules.

The whole reason there is abuse is because it is seen as the only way to get your point across. This GAA closed shop mentality is at the root of a lot of the problems. Need to be forward thinking, make the public feel like they have an option other than abuse.Quote from: JoG2 on July 07, 2023, 08:07:06 PMQuote from: Louther on July 07, 2023, 07:59:41 PMQuote from: Whishtup on July 07, 2023, 07:05:29 PM
There needs to be clear parameters set out by the Gaa on how we communicate with referees. There needs to be a channel for parents, supporters to give feedback.Then a synchronised stand down across all clubs to set the boundaries with all members mandatory attendance. Cancel all matches that weekend.
Make sure all clubs, fans are clear on repercussions, with hefty bans for any incidents.
Then stick to the plan.
Channel what now? Feedback by who? Possibly the single worse idea I've ever seen committed to writing.
Communicate with ref? Isn't that the cause of most of the problems.
Let the ref, referee the game and play your own game/manage the team/support your team.
Absolute batshit crazy.
Nothing to see here, can we all just move on....? Just 36 pages worth in little over a year
Absolutely not. That wasn't a response to what has happened. Far from it. It's to that crazy idea of giving a platform to give feedback to refs.
No one needs that "channel". When you go to game do what you're there for - play, manage or support. Not abuse or give feedback to a ref. How nuts would that be FFS.
Zero tolerance for those abusing the ref.
There needs to be a correct channel available to air grievances back through your club in a dignified manner. A club rep then has that to feed back to the refs. Improvement and acknowledgement of errors needs to be at the heart of refereeing.
On the flip side, breaches of using the correct channels/abuse, should be severely punished.
It gets better
Fair play. You've a great imagination.
Has to be a Wind up. Is this one of Ollys burner accounts?

Quote from: CK_Redhand on July 01, 2023, 07:40:54 PMThat was particularly hateful. The other pundits were embarrassed for him.Quote from: blanketattack on July 01, 2023, 07:18:53 PMHilarious. Marc O Se made a similar tasteless joke live on air after the match. Maybe it's not as funny to the Tyrone players who suffered from it in 2021. Or the millions around the world who died.
Today showed what a nasty illness Long Covid is.
