Quote from: gallsman on February 04, 2024, 04:23:44 PMThis is an absolutely brutal watch.

Try being at it. Can't believe there weren't at least 5 mins added time given Morgan's antics.

That's a 7/8 point breeze Tyrone should win handy from here. Derry far too passive with Tyrone's attacks trying to let the wind do the work rather than engaging pay the 45.

Ref has let a lot of nailed on frees go for both sides so can't complain much about that.

It's brutal but it would be hard to play decent football in these conditions.

If Tyrone could shoot maybe. Cow's arse and banjo atm

Total smash and grab by Glen. St B will be  feeling so, so hard done by. Keeper caught way out of position and couldn't set himself to dive at the shot.

Think they will find it hard enough to get back next year.

Wonder when last time Ukster teams held Senior-Int-Jnr AI club football titles at same time?

Fcuk me.

Descending to the paddywackery of a segment where Conan O'B makes fun of his being unable to pronounce Irish names.

How original.

How hilarious.

Quote from: imtommygunn on November 26, 2023, 03:03:04 PMBoth of them were. Ref not bad. Only thing I would say is if you're on the ground with the ball and someone is more or less on your back surely that is a free. That macarron one wasn't to be fair.

Faloon has history with letting all that go....until he decides to give them in random situations. No consistency.

If you'd seen his performance in the Armagh championship.....

Quote from: theticklemister on November 26, 2023, 02:24:20 PMReferee has been absolutely outstanding today.

Well done.

Looking forward to extra time

That last point for Scotstown was far from a free.

1. Whole of ball needs to be out. From angle on VAR, the bottom was out but inconclusive as to whether side of ball was overhanging the line.
2. If ball went backwards to Gordon = no offside. Also not sure from camera angles if Gabriel and Raya weren't juuuust playing Gordon onside at moment ball hit Joelinton
3. Those challenges in box....some given, some not, was pretty weak defending by Gabriel either way

HAVERTZ = RED
GUIMARAES = RED

Not as 100% sold on goal being disallowed as Arteta and Arsenal fans believe, both sides can prob feel hard done by....but fact Arsenal has so much ball and so few shots on target....who's fault is that.....

Quote from: shawshank on October 23, 2023, 04:24:18 PMAs Aaron Kernan picks up his 18th senior championship medal, it further confirms how crap the senior clubs in Armagh are that they annually role over. What is it Cross are doing the rest of you are not apart from living rent free in your heads.
having a catchment area that is second to none
there is simply too may clubs in armagh
lurgan has 4 teams
camlough/ bessbrook  2 teams and am not counting corrinshego)
cross has a committed area with no infiltration from soccer
fair play though to both clanns in lurgan they are investing in youth which will get rewards in the future

Some fair points there.

Cross do great work in bringing players through..just enough to keep supplementing the senior team with real quality. As said before they are usually there or threrabouts in Minor as well.

Having said that....when you think of competing for resources....against other GAA clubs (and numerous soccer clubs)

Lurgan actually has 5 teams:

Clann Eireann
Clan Na Gael
St Peters
St Pauls
Eire Og (you can debate it's in Craigavon, I'd say it's on the border, lol)

and 4 within a few miles of the town

Wolfe Tones
Sarsfields
St Mary's (Antrim)
St Michaels (Down)

Compare that to the catchment Cross have....... and imagine if Lurgan had 1 or 2 superclubs.....

Armagh really do have some luck with the Ulster draws in recent years

Quote from: tyroneman on October 06, 2023, 09:25:54 AMWho was it that got the St Brigids senior position ahead of him, which he appears so annoyed about?

A highly rated manager by all accounts, very professional and players loved him. Brolly always hates these professional types. It smacks of petty jealousy from Brolly who is quickly becoming the class clown.

Who was the manager though?

Can't remember, but did he boycott Dungiven and pour forth much outrage when Stephen O'Neill became Dungiven Senior Manager?

Quote from: square_ball on October 04, 2023, 08:35:13 AMWonder did Joe have the same grievances about Brian Mullins when he took the Derry job or is it because he simply doesn't like Mickey Harte?
If you were to, ah hem, believe Brolly in an article of his last year were he said he was instrumental in bringing Mullins in as Derry manager 

From Joe's very own Indo column almost exactly this time last year...

'Derry needed a senior manager for the 1996/97 season. Brian was the principal of the huge Carndonagh Community School in Donegal. I met him after a game in Croke Park and asked him if he would be interested. He immediately said, "Yes." I said, "Really?" He said, "Yes."

I rang the county board and passed it on. A few months later, we arrived at Owenbeg and there he was, wearing that funny bushwacker hat, massive and intimidating'

Odd he didnt seem too exercised then about an outside manager for his beloved Derry..... wonder what changed 🤔
