From 3.15

thanks for that.
ok kildare #17 was Johnny Doyle - so he was already on.
Monaghan had #17 & #18 - not sure if they were already on as subs.
at 3.42 a lad looking like a sub ran in - he obv looked like he was just going to pick up someones gloves that had fallen down.
this excerpt (thanks for sharing it) cuts out from the pitch at 3.43 when there is prob a bit more.
certainly I believe there was a lot more on tg4 on sunday.
still think even this clip shows there was at least one sub on- and I dont believe he was on his own and only copper fastens my view of this last sun.
This incident was feck all though- no real slaps - just like derrytreask v dromid imo.
glad the media didnt blow this one all out of proportion.

[I thought there were several subs from both sides in the thick of it on sunday]

I think the point which is being made is that this was no worse than the pushing and shoving at the Derrytresk match, however, there was no incursion here, which makes a difference. anyways time to let it go.

must look at the video again - I thought there were several subs from both sides in the thick of it on sunday, difference was they didnt have to jump any fences so it didnt look as bad.

No, there weren't.

as I said, I'll look at it again if I can find it. just thought when watching it on sunday there were.

[in the SPL, Celtic lose some of their "brand" by not having "the other",]

i]We're[/i] not.  But I wouldn't be surprised if some SPL chairmen can't look beyond the payday that an Old Firm away support brings.

Dream scenario:  Rangers go bust, and reenter the system in the 3rd division.  As they work their way back up, all the wee clubs get one big cash injection from the visiting away support - like a cup run.  This money goes into infrastructure or youth development.

Meanwhile in the SPL, Celtic lose some of their "brand" by not having "the other", and instead become a "big Scottish club".  A renewed Hearts*, Hibs, Aberdeen and Dundee Utd are able to pressure them, and win cups, and maybe one of them has a 9 month run of good luck culminating in a title.  Failing that a decent season is more likely to result in a European payday.

even if this means Celtic dont get as much money, I dont think this will derail them .
They are used to the receeding monies from spl and scotland this past few years. Global branding and merchandising as well as any kind of run in europe is the holy grail for revenue these days.
co-efficient going down hardly matters now as the spl champs will get to play in qualifiers.

no harm to you , reading what you say about glasweegies prev - but aberdeen ar not exactly angels or known to be welcoming - ask a few Irish (donegal) friends of mine who were in uni in aberdeen and got the heads kicked off them by the aberden ultras for being Irish ! (not for supporting Celtic or any open shows of Irishness of colours etc).

Very sad to hear of Kieran's sudden death
Kieran was simply an inspiration in his community. He carried on that sporting excellence, his driving sense of perfection, from the field to his post-playing years. Amongst many things, he played a big part in the construction of the Ballybay GAA club facilities completed a few years ago. What was notable was not just that that construction was completed but the attention to detail was one of his hallmark contributions.
He was immensly proud of his son Paul's prowess on the field.
If you made a positive comment to him about what Paul had done in particular in a game, on meeting him again 2 years later he would remember exactly what you remarked upon 2 years previously. I hadn't thought much about it until I visibly saw how such a comment   was imprinted on his psyche.
One of Ballybay's finest characters, he will be sorely missed.

RIP , Deepest sympathies and condolences to all of his family and friends.

looking forward to this game. Two free scoring teams. LG are a great side, but as mentioned Coolderry have been impressive this season so far and taken out some great teams.
