Where was the semi last year for Glen?

All semis were in Croke last year, both codes. Not this year though. Personally think they should be in CP as you are guaranteed a good surface

Why not this year?

No one talking about the cheap strike on Dougan from Darren Hughes? Shocking.

Dougan was following McCarron everywhere today. Tied him right up.

O'Toole Park would be the favoured neutral venue for Crokes. The traffic getting across the city to Croke Park is always a pain.

Quote from: Oso on December 10, 2023, 06:00:43 PMThe better team actually lost that game, played some excellent football. Mixed up running with a great kicking game, good to watch. Beggan and the 2 Hughes brothers are among my favourite players to watch.

Passed up a few points and missed a few goal chances including one that bounced off the foot of the post with everyone beaten and rolled across the line.  They will be kicking themselves that they left that behind them. I'm not sure how anyone can state that Glen were the better team. They have Eunan Mulholland to thank for keeping them in touch.

Still not believing the hype.... Why would I when the better team lost and there's no such hype with Scotstown?  Still waiting on this imaginary extra gear. Also a few questionable refereeing decisions went against Scotstown today.

Glen will get their replay with Crokes after their sniffling behaviour last year. I wonder what the excuse will be this time around?

Drivel!!

The game was nip and tuck until the last few mins when Glen pulled away. Stown had a hit and hope tipped above the bar to make it 2 in the end but Glen were the better team.

You've lost the plot a bit Oso "average" club teams don't tend to get to All Ireland Semi Finals. You have to play so many games to get there that it's basically impossible to make it that far unless you're a decent team.


Keep digging though we're all enjoying the twists and turns in your nonsense arguments...

Pairc Esler is exactly half way between Glen and Kilmacud.

Thought Scotstown had a couple of chances to go for points and went for goals instead which proved their downfall. McCarron also gave couple of silly balls away late on.

Main Street

I thought it was an enthralling game in the conditions and a teak tough competitive final with Glen just about deserving it.

Game was tight but Scotstown only scored 4pts in the 2nd Half, between the first and last point of half, they only scored 2pts between the 31st and 63rd minute.

Best team won. Two point lead at half time was never going to be enough in those weather conditions.

Only scored 0-3 2nd half and out scored by five points 2nd half. Glen back to back Ulster champions speaks for itself regardless what you want to believe.

Exactly as I said..... Left all those scores behind them in the 2nd half!!

The best team won....Because they won? That's not always the case.  Your opinion on today's game is no more valid than mine regardless of what you want to believe.

Is that not the way it works?

I have no opinion on who was better yesterday but no, the best team doesnt always win. You can probably think of examples when this has happened

Watching the game I thought that myself. Chances for scores,  shooting from silly angles,  forcing it when they could have worked simpler scores. Genuinely wanted Scotstown to win this as I know a good few of them and they're really good lads and the like of the Hughes and Beggan would have a great club career we'll set off with an Ulster win. A lot of pressure on shoulders in clubs like Scotstown to be able to say you have a big one on your pocket,  loads of boys walk around clubs like that jangling county medals in their pockets with little or no playing time. Just like ourselves. It's only when you win outside of the county can you stand with the big boys.

Glen were that but more clinical at key times. There's an awful lot to be said for knowing how to win these games. Pushing on at key times and building momentum is something that differentiates between top teams. Glen have it. The question now is can they go the whole way?  Kilmacud in the semi is better than Kilmacud in the final. If the game is played in Newry or even Navan then I can see them having a real chance.

Yeah, gutted for those men as they are serious footballers and great lads as you say.

Fair  play to Glen though, Glass is something else. Would love to see them go all the way this year but just not sure they have the firepower. They'll be mad up for it after the whole drama last year as will Kilmacud. Glen been through a few tight games now which will stand to them, plenty of time to get the bodies right.

Playing down the hill in the Athletic Grounds you need to be more than 2 in front on a good day. That wind and rain seemed to be driving down that hill as well. TG4 treating the Ulster final with total disrespect. I'd recorded it, not only did it start late but the programme ended before the final whistle. still good win for Glen, Scotstown give it a lash. Beggan is some footballer.
