Fecking begrudgers . Kilcoo are in an Ulster Final on merit. Get over it.

Trust me they CANT and WONT get over it. Its hate any club but your own for these people.

Can anything be more negative than Kilcoo style of football, Mickey Moran makes poacher look like Micko

Yeah there is....your posts. That must be a very large pill for you to swallow. Watch you dont choke on it. Along with those sour (now rotten) grapes. Not pleasant football to watch but they wont care.

Clontibret & Kilcoo to win

Double header in the Athletic Grounds on the 17th.
Pitch was in poor condition for the Cross v Clontibret game.
This Sundays fixtures for that venue have been moved.
Considering the time of year can the condition improve in that short time?
I doubt it...........

To be honest I would not support any other team except Burren. What sort of game was it?? Is it true they were ultra defensive.

Begrudger.....A person who tends to complain, especially about trivial or petty matters

Well done to kilcoo today.
A special mention to carryduff on a great win.
Does anyone know how many Range Rover 4 by 4s and Mercedes and posh wealthy boys from The East was at that game.....

Burren 2-20-Gaoth Dobhair 0-4, close enough!!

competitive......

O Boris.... what a hairy dick you have.....

Back in another Ulster final. Hard to beat tradition.

what was the score? Is that final next week?

Think I'll go to game in newry tomorrow. Magherfelt having nothing to lose, so lets hope for a tight game.  Pressure is on kilcoo. Gonna say kilcoo win by 1.

[with the usual arrival of Range Rover 4 by 4s and Mercedes and posh wealthy boys from The East]

See young McGovern from Ballyholland signed new contract with Newry City. Hopefully that doesnt stop him playing football with Down in few years, looked some prospect anytime Ive seen him play.

You did say the contract is with Newry City and not Real Madrid?  Wise up FFS

Why? Surely likes of John Boyle  would have played more seasons with Down only for his soccer career.

Yes.... Smither too only played a few National,league games for Down because of his soccer career definitely would have had a big County career only for the soccer

Yes so many Gaelic careers being spoilt by backward managers.Let's hope John McGovern is facilitated to do both.He is too good a player to miss out on ,County Minor captain and potential attack leader on Senior County side.
Potentially if James is involved with seniors again soon he will work with him.James understands from his own experience in Irish League football and knows it can be done.You're right on about Smither but with Darren at Newry he'll work well for Harps and John.From talking to a few Harps men on a trip recently all are delighted for him.
Surprise victory though the other day for Shamrocks v Harps in U21s but the East South gap was highlighted in Burren v Castlewellan game , Castlewellan didn't even score !I know Burren are a special side but to hold a team scoreless is some feat.More silverware going to Burren in this competition.

I see south down select did very well in their first game in the Paul mcgirr tournament, they must be strong favourites to win it

Yes a very comprehensive win v Rossa Magherafelt with their best wishes afterwards.Burren have built a great relationship with them over Feiles and games.Couldn't get over how commanding Burren were.The work being done in Burren is unrivalled and not one parent managing a team.But next a hard game up now v Gaoith Dobhair.
In the U21s Burren have a home game v League of Nations Carryduff with the usual arrival of Range Rover 4 by 4s and Mercedes and posh wealthy boys from The East - this time expect a battle and a 6 point Burren win.
In the other game Point will have too much for a resurgent Shamrocks but can't see past a Burren title.Wonder why Kilcoo haven't entered and let's hope Magherafelt Rossa hammer them.

The words of a very sad individual.  Sink your keyboard boot into every club you can.

[to the slums of div 2 and maybe div 3]

Wat is going on with Castlewellan football, failed to score v Burren in u21 championship game in Burren last nite.

talk about a club going backwards!! Years of poaching players from other clubs and indeed other countys taking its toal now, no underage structure at all, then you have the finn club up and running again ,which takes up a few players that represented town in most codes from underage to seniors, it's a pity tho 😁once a big club with ambition to the slums of div 2 and maybe div 3 after next season! Half of them don't know if they're from the finn or castlewellan or who to support ! 🙈

Very complementary for the lower division teams. But your right, it's a serious fall for them.

[and the club run to the PSNI]

They are a club with little or no class
The way they conduct themselves on the field is nothing short of disgusting
Carr stood up the the sledging and the club run to the PSNI
They may be dominating Down football but the lack the class of the great Bryansford team of the 70s the brilliant all Ireland winning Burren team of the 80s and the swashbuckling Bridge team of the noughtys. Gloating on social media really makes the apology to the young lads family sound cheap. The manager has form for this behaviour.

As far as I'm aware this case was not taken by the Club but by the individual (It was a Civil Case). More FAKE news. Worse than TRUMP!!!!

I would like an opportunity to clear a couple of things up regarding the minor match yesterday. Especially as whitegoodman, forevergreen, smurfy and others post whatever comes into their heads as fact.
The whole incident sits well with no one from the Kilcoo club.
The player involved was genuinely remorseful for what he said. He could have denied it and never had a suspension imposed on him but I'm glad he chose instead to admit his guilt and accepted his one match ban imposed by Kilcoo committee.
The punishment for verbally abusing your opponent carries a max one match ban.
Instead the County board gave an 8 week ban for 'bringing the game into disrepute'.
The Lad missed 4 matches including a senior and minor championship final.
A fair enough punishment I'd have thought.
How do you please the jealous mobs? Firing squad? Hangman?
Now ask yourselves honestly, would your club have suspended one of its own under similar circumstances?
I doubt it. Kilcoo acted with courage and I admire them for it.
The lad has learned his lesson, as a club we've tried to learn from this.
Always keen to improve, always keen to learn.

Good to have your comments on this and clear up a few facts. I have no doubt this topic will continue. Unfortunately.

[Good luck to Kilcoo with their success this year.]

This case is different from anything, yes clubs will go to the ends and back to get suspensions cleared as undoubtedly your club know so well. But if clubs are willing to go to extreme lengths to get things lifted then they are condoning actions of the individuals. They will actively say they are condoning the actions but actions speak louder than words. Some people may say it's sour grapes but it's nothing to do with trophies. Good luck to Kilcoo with their success this year.

God that must have taken some afford.  On the road to recovery at last.
