A comment on the ref, it is not often you hear praise for a ref but I have to say that McQuillan handled the game very well and got all the big calls correct. He was helped as well by 2 teams more or less trying to play the game better than the precious week. The 2 sendings off for Cross were correct and borne completely out of frustration at the situation and we can have no complaints. I was too far away from the Kilcoo on to comment on it. The penalty was clear-cut.
The ref was poor - he gave everything to Cross, and I mean everything. I was completely neutral, but was happy when Kilcoo won because of it

I would agree, i thought the ref kept Cross in the game with easy frees!!

So is Paul Grimley as tactically poor as that performance suggests? All of the talk over the years suggested that he was the force behind the Monaghan resurgence under McEneaney, he was the tactical driving force behind Joe Kernan during the early 00's .... something that appears to have little foundation after that debacle today.
Quote from: Applesisapples on November 30, 2012, 09:25:51 AMby saying a joe mcqullian type of ref to win, do you mean a ref that will be one sided , soft frees, penalties, red carding a cross man etc while turning a blind eye to the underdogs, ie ( them boys are all ireland champions sure they will be all right )....The refs job is to be fair to both teams regardless of their histories . The last thing we want to see is our game ending up like the boxing or some of the racing sports.
Cross have beaten better teams this year and beaten them well. Kilcoo will need a slice of luck and a Joe McQullian type ref to win, you never know. Chelsea or Celtic vs Barca springs to mind.

Not in the least jealous, just think that the same laws should apply to Cross as all other clubs and that you shouldnt be alowed to bully your way to success

A great game of football and a great advert for club football. I thought the ref probably should have awarded Cross a couple of frees at the end but otherwise added to the occasion by letting the game flow. On the negative side, a shocking piece of play acting by the Cross player to try and get the GC player sent off. The GC player was crazy though and a different ref might have bought it.
