Kilcoo management gone. All the stories of discontent in the camp starting to prove accurate. Time for the REAL managers Laverty and Choc to step into the breach.

Laverty and Jim mcguiness for kilcoo next season apparently...

Surely they'd (Downeys)be just as well signing for the ports BS,just a short spin for them

Was there a falling out with them and their own club what is the reason for all them potentially leaving their own club

Pete Mc Grath. A strong signal of intent as Aghagallon demonstrate ambition to find that next level. This on top of strong rumours about St Brigids massive intake of six new players, 4 of whom were on Derrys Ulster championship winning panel.

Antrim club football setting itself up for a few very interesting years ahead!

St brigids nearly have players from every county in ulster with the transfers

Hearing Aghagallon have caught a big fish.....?

Not taken from the Lough.....

only eels caught in Lough Neagh

Does anyone know if the semi finals are both in Croker ?

Where are the saffron voice lads away?

Your are missing them like a hole in the head Jim - hopefully a new podcast is on the Christmas list

Fair play to Glen, what a performance at the start then did enough to keep ahead. Looked that wee bit hungrier and fitter than Kilcoo. Thought Ward was a massive loss at half time. Glass with an inspirational block on Branagan late on.

Haven't read on here but what did everyone make of his interview, wonder what was said that went too far. Ward was at him the whole time

I saw the interview and was at the game but with so much going on hard to see the incident(s) he was referring to it would be a good game to watch back on TG4

[I think McFaul is still in the clink in America]

Glen missed a bagful of chances against Cargin. They have the best midfield left in the competition and in Glass, probably the best player. They could strangle the life out of the Kilcoo attack. McFaul is a huge miss for them though so that equals things out a little. I still think Glen will just about win this.

they could have done all that last year too? Was McFaul playing last year?

They had Kilcoo beat in that game but for the keepers mistake. McFaul played centre half back and scored a point and was instrumental in a few other scores.

McFaul is quality, would be some craic if he rocked up on Sunday....

I'm sure if he's fit enough he'll start, but if he's half fit Kilcoo would kill him for pace...

I've ref'd them once, all wiry as feck but fast, real pace up and down the pitch, and fighters too, was only a challenge match but they don't like to lose a tackle never mind a game, different styles both teams, while I fancy Kilcoo, it wouldn't be a surprise if Glen followed up on their potential

Is McFaul home? Last I heard he was in bother in the States.

I have to say, as much as I'd like to see Glen win, I think they'll struggle against Kilcoo.
I don't think Glen have been as good as last year and I think Kilcoo have actually pushed on a bit.
However, Glen will have gotten over that first championship win hurdle from last year and be a bit more confident than they were then.
It will be close, slight notion that Kilcoo will win it, but Glen winning would not surprise me either.

I think McFaul is still in the clink in America, even still if he was home couldn't see Mal o Rourke throwing him in at centre back in an Ulster final having not played any. I fancy Kilcoo but it is the first game all year that Glen will be going into as under dogs so it may free them up a bit

He's never been in the clink.

I thought he was alleged to have battered a lad in America and was in America waiting to see the outcome of the thing

It must be said though kilcoo have been v impressive in ulster this year plus they have won 2 ulsters going for the third - glen have not been as impressive as kilcoo - I'm not saying they don't have a big game in their locker but the smart money is on the magpies

To be expected I suppose when you have a club team with the resources of a county. Hope Kilcoo beat them again

Need to get over Glen first. Only lost after extra time in the AI final and no Shane Walsh then.  Any chance that Mannion will be fit for the AI series I'd wonder.

What is the craic with mannion he seems like an injury machine spends serious time on the sidelines - be some addition if he was back and fit tho

Are Saffron Voice gone?

What will do Jim without our weekly instalment as such

How many players from the Kilcoo 2012 team still playing? Most?

Good few PD, laverty, Jerome, Ryan, most of the Brannigans could be few more

Don't think down is way ahead of any county in ulster

I think Tyrone prob has the most depth and quality to its county championship

Apparently P F endured hamstring problems mid-week and indeed he would not have been fooled by the results of 'sniper at work' today.
Soft frees indeed and one led to that penalty.

But if some suggest Glen are the real deal and one of the top sides in the country I still take a lot to be persuaded....

I thought the glen no 10 think it is Ethan Doherty went to ground very easily John carron I think got done for a soft free on him- mick McCann also another ref defo would have let a lot more go
