Crossmaglen Rangers v Kilmacud Crokes

It's not bad at all.

Crokes seem very cynical in their tackling. If it were the new rules they'd be fooked.

Cross's new generation contributing very little AFAI can see, apart from the 2 Kernans. If the old hands dont step up to the plate they could be beaten here. What was Mickey McNamee thinking with those 3 shots

Cross came out very lackadaisical, took very unwise shots from far out and bad angles, but finally getting into some sort of groove. Still in the game though. If Crokes persist on fouling and Cross can take their chances, Cross should rally, but Crokes finding acres of space in the middle and on the wings.

Burns has just said McConville should have gone down to get his penalty instead of taking his shot for goal. Store that one up for later in the year.

some really stupid tackling by cross

i was going to ask the question how long were they going to leave johnny murtagh on?it's just been answered

Yeah. Some of them frees are awful soft though. but they're not being punished at all with Vaughn kicking across the goal.

Can't see cross winning this at all. They look slow and no one is really stepping up to the plate here.

Francie's block was definitely a foot block too...

Aaron Kernan is being fouled all the time to stop him building any momentum. However Cross would do that kind of thing too so can't complain much...

How has Francie not been carded by Kinneavey yet?

Harold Disgracey · March 17, 2009, 05:41:50 PM

It doesn't look as if it is going to happen for Cross. They can't seem to get any momentum going. Hope they are as flat against us in the championship in August!

My God Johnny Magee has a big arse.

McConville lucky not to walk after a sly punch into the head.

3 points in it. 2 mins left.

Looks like the easy semi-final did them no good.

4 points up dont see any way back now.

All over, best team won. Glad to see Ray Cosgrove get a point late on, some sort of comeback after missing that free in 2002. Jaysus Jonny Magee enjoyed the Christmas!

i thought cross were poor, distribution was awful. crokes played alot less risky passes and it worked. look like cross didnt think they needed shooting practice in last 3 weeks
