What were City at giving Arsenal Zinchenko.

Absolute madness. He's a complete and utter baller. All the City players loved him and thought he was

Penalty all day, stupid tackle. He had plenty off cover

Not for me. Dropped like a sack and anyway it was outside the box

Typical that a tiny Wee traffic warden gave it though

Shane Walsh wins his all Ireland

Won't mean a f**king thing to him

Anybody motice a passage of play near the end of the Galbally game, a Kerry attacker was between right wing and right corner forward when the defender from Galbally, with the BC comb-over, lunged into him but bounced off him and ended up on his hole. The Kerry forward toe tapped, barely flinched amd steadied himself for a free shot on goal but the referee gave a free against him. As bad a call as I've saw.

Seen that. Ridiculous. Awful call by the ref too

So a Kerry double - 2 games that were tight enough but I have to say, I thought if Stewartstown had stuck to the football and not acted the maggot, they would probably have won. They had the better all round team I thought and were going well. Even after the first sending off, it was evened up effectively when Fossa got the black card. But they got worse not better and that Coyle guy who elbowed Paudie Clifford, the less said the better.

Intermediate final wasn't a great spectacle at all. Rathmore the better team marginally but 2 great goal chances Galbally had they will look back on with regret. I do think Galbally lacked a bit of cutting edge though up front. I was told they were lucky enough to win the semi final aswell, but that's just second hand info in fairness. Shane Ryan is a decent forward to be fair to him and their main forward John Moynihan was well marked out of it today so Ryan and his brother Mark really stood up. Rathmore are a decent side though and could afford to leave Aidan O'Mahony (would still play for a lot of teams!) and Darragh Rahilly a good Kerry minor a few years ago, on the bench.

On the (expected) complaints about the Kerry system - most people want to change it lads, but it's Croke Park that are stopping it. I would like to see it resolved so that there could be 10 club teams and Divisional teams play a round robin to get 2 teams to enter the Championship proper, so you've 12 in the Senior draw then. Straight away improves things and Inter and Junior are evened out a bit more. Rathmore and Stacks would probably be already Senior. As it stands, Austin Stacks are Intermediate this season..who contested the Munster Senior final last year.

My understanding is that Cork and Kerry were told that even if a separate round robin of divisional teams takes place before entering championship proper they all count towards the 16. Utterly stupid. Cork has 250 clubs and you want only 16 in the top level out of 250? Where is the common sense?

It wasn't evened up effectively....Stewartstown were a man down for 15 mins before that and duly went 3 behind until the numbers were evened again with the black card....it wasn't like Fossa went a man less than Stewartstown for 15 mins.

Plus Stewartstown punctured themselves chasing an extra man.

Game was lost by the number 3.
Don't advocate lifting  a hand on the field or in life. Had  decades of being held, slapped and kicked by defenders but 1 thing I've never got is pushing or interfering with another man's head....what the fcuk have you to gain from it?

Even compare  the Managers before the match....Fossa manager with humour and smiles laughing away

Then the Clarkes manager asked if they'll be ultra defensive due to Clifford's responded dead serious with a frown:

"No, That's only levelled at us because we're from Tyrone, we'll play football"

No humour, no "we tried to tell the Cliffords the game had been moved to Parnell Park"

As someone who works on and off in Dublin for years they see us as humourless, serious heads and football wise they think Tyrone are prickly,  always have a persecution complex, thugs who are humourless.

As they naturally turn off from the North on the News the only time they hear us in many cases is through Sport.....its actually a bigger issue as its going to be a factor in a Unity referendum.

We need a charm offensive at all levels.....mad as this sounds

Before everyone gets prickly with your backs up, actually think about it. I'll be in Dublin in the morning and lads will be going on about the same shite as always about that game today

They've a lot of Bredagh players every year. But depends how many soccer heads are in a school year.  GAA isn't not number 1in many of these schools and not the reason lads go there like a Omagh CBS or Maghera so yes, every year will be different, some will have more fruit than the last

A game a week is no big deal I'd say they'll be happy enough.

Agreed

The wee girlie thing from the No 3 ruined the game. In the melting pot other than that

Either punch a fella and get a red or stay away from a man's head....I don't understand it

Only seen second half of the first game, no3 for stewartstown probably gets away with that on a Wednesday night in a league game, he has serious amount of eyes on him. Some stupidity when reasonably in the game. Did see what the black card was for, I've no idea why they took off 13 and the two clampits that came on didn't touch leather and one got sent off for the worst elbow you'll see!!

What happens at the end is embarrassing for all that got involved, David Clifford's was easy yellow, Paudi' hand on face pulls it back soft but ref, seen by linesman, think the others were second yellows I didn't see them

The cloth line tackle was a 50/50 call, seen them given as a red or yellow

Idiocy from the No 3....ruined the game for the entire country with a wee girly move

Like either smack someone a proper box or leave well alone...what's the f**king pointt?

The definition of a student in UU has for a long time being differed to what everyone else thinks what it means.

I've a degree and a freshers out of it...Great spot

A Masters out of Queens but found UUJ more like a family as out in the sticks in 1 building

Needed the Queen's Masters to get a job.

(I'm only messing ffs)

How was it switching from crayons to pens when you moved from UU to Queens?

It was actually the playdough I missed more 

Head Tennis in UUJ Mall was exceptional tbf....talent off the scale.....didn't get that centred vibe in QUB. Too spread out landing at Old Houses basically for class. Plus the pens leaked the odd time 

Yis have all got sidetracked. We need.to know how date 2 went 😉😃

Don't want him put under any pressure, wasn't sure what night it was

Will let you know in due course  - maybe there should be a Dating thread on the board!

Could go the way of that mucksavages one

"Lob it into me boss, I have a long back" 

How did it go?,

Ref clearly has no love for tyrone lol

Are ye mad. Some questionable decisions..he must not have seen McShane dropping the knees into Rogers!!

He's awful.

As bad as I've seen. What is it with tiny refs?

Like Derry away and about to equalise  and he stopped it for that mini melee...then gave a hop ball...f me

To be honest Enda Muldoon and Paddy Bradley are better than a few On that list

Absolutely

Andy Moran and Conor McManus too
