Quote from: Sandstorm on October 05, 2025, 10:54:30 PMShambles of a referring display in Esler, clear red card not given against Clonduff. Won't matter anyway in the long run. Burren Kilcoo final already assured, and this year I can see Burren beating the magpies easily. Kilcoo were dreadful against the yellas last week and weren't tested the week before against the Ford. Odhran Murdock is a cut above anyone else and Burren will have too much firepower for them up front this year. Big Treanor, Murdocks and half a dozen other county men in the ranks, only a matter of time before they start winning SFCs regularly again.  No Kerr or Magill against Island last day out and they looked as good as I've seen them in years. Hopefully we have a new champion this year, can see it coming back to Burren. They could give Ulster a real rattle

O dear, what's another year.


Referee did us no favours. And then didn't send Odhran off because he knew he had given Carryduff every single decision so tried to balance it all out.

What a day for the parish. And by parish, I mean every single parish in Down outside of Mayobridge. Mayobridge beaten again, drink it in folks. Cocky, Arrogant club that has no business looking down on others. Viva la Gath and Viva RGU. Doing the Lord's work. Enjoy the Intermediate Playoffs lads hahahaha

A great day of drinking and chatting before tomorrow's turning point in the Kilcoo onslaught of Down football. Talking to a few stalwarts of Down football and they're all agreed that Burren win this by 5+ points. Kilcoo will get a red card early and hopefully Moore from CPN will do us a favour the way Darren did for them a couple of years ago. Not that we'll need a favour. Would just turn a 1/2pt win in to a more comfortable watch! Odhran player of the match and Ronan McGrath x Ryan Treanor to be close behind him. The torch is about to be passed. Burren for Ulster in my opinion. Magpies aren't what they were, heard it here first folks.

I never delete ;D , I'll swallow my pill if needs be. Game of opinion fellas, just giving my two cents. But your reply has been screenshot as well FYI. 0nly drying out from that match tonight but the next two weeks will be fun. Lots to be excited about and big Paddy Burns could have two All Irelands in the space of 12 months. Heard it here first, don't say you weren't told

Never really worried about that game tonight in truth. This Burren team have been in second gear all year and still no one comes close to beating them apart from Magpies. Kilcoo's time is up, they're not the force they were 2 or 3 years ago. I think this will be the year we see the torch being passed to Burren, who will dominate Down and Ulster football for the next 10yrs+. The talent coming through is scary, another underage championship won on Friday and beat the much fancied Carryduff while in cruise control. Kilcoo might have more titles than Burren for now but Burren are the biggest club in Down. Watch this space, Burren beat Kilcoo by half a dozen in two weeks time. It will finish most of the old guard that have dominated the last decade and they'll go back under their rock for another 50yrs.

Any reports from tonight's game? First match in a long time I've missed, great to get two points and surely that will be the last proper test before Westmeath.

Who was good?

As we sat and watched the game in St Mary's club rooms, the echoes of the cheers to Rory Beggan's free boomed throughout the parish. What a time to be alive, still the only club in down with 2 All Irelands. You'll never catch us and we absolutely love every single second of it. Thank you Rory Beggan and Thank you Scotstown. Hughes will never have to put his hand in his pocket in Burren club either, great lads. Now we can rest easy as the aristocrats remain on 🔝

Quote from: Johnnysboys on October 15, 2023, 07:06:32 PMThank god for Kilcoo
Thank god for McCorry and Adams having no plan and costing a fortune.
Thank god we don't have to listen to the noisy neighbours slabbering for the foreseeable..
This game should never have gone ahead and the referee and his assistants should hang their heads in shame. At least our club ref has the good sense to say no. We as a county struggle on a yearly basis to recruit referees and this shambles won't ease the recruitment process for next season.

This the same ref who held your club to ransom over an operation earlier in the year? Some morals alright that man. Heard he threatened to join Burren if CPN didn't sort his leg. We wouldn't take him, we've enough people with no clue without adding that to the mixture.

Kilcoo will have been hoping for Rice again but for his injury this year. He's won them a good few championships over the years and can't hide his bias against Burren. If there's any neutral referee doing this game then Burren win by 4 or 5 pulling up. The last time this game was on TG4 it was men against boys. Burren will do the same tomorrow. Odhran MOTM and Burren by 6

Clonduff never believed they could win that game. But they can take comfort knowing that Burren will hammer Kilcoo in the final. Up to the real aristocrats of down football to return Frank to its natural habitat. Mark my words, Burren will beat Kilcoo pulling up in a couple of weeks.The saviours of Down football

You could pick the best 15 of Mayobridge and CPN and they still wouldn't beat Burren or Kilcoo. Was like watching an intermediate game this eve, two teams that have no identity. Mayobridge will get hammered by whoever they play next unless they draw Glenn. You could tell a mile off that Warrenpoint have had no manager all year, look like they're winging it with zero plan. No shape, their best players in their own half at all times, like watching an U-12 team that. Down football is in a bad place, Burren then Kilcoo then the rest this year I suspect.

Upandwin your on drugs if you think Burren will win championship, they will struggle to beat loughinisland and after Kilcoo easing past Carryduff you may hope Burren don't meet them at any stage because it might turn out to be embarrassing

You're right Cuan. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, shouldn't be accused of taking narcotics after expressing their own opinion. Ghluck

Not saying we've won anything yet. But when you have Odhran, Liam, Danny in your team I think we will beat anyone that's put in front of us. That's not a disrespect to Kilcoo but think Burren will come of age now and we've won our first two games in second gear. Don't think you'd see anyone else dismantle CPN and Island in cruise control.
