McConville gloats about beating Dr Crokes, expects an easier win this time

[LeoMc]

Mike, you are tarnishing the great name of Mike Sheehy. Couldn't you pick another name, and have a whine?

Could not agree more..one gobshite is no representation of an entire county.
They like to win but fair play in 2002 every last one of them congratulated us on our success in croke park and wished us well.
I suspect that most Kerry folk would have enormous respect for Cross at the very least.Just as i have enormous respect for the Kerry seniors. Does not mean i have to like them, but they are a class act just like Cross, only at a different level.

Nah, they have had a free pass in Armagh for the last 15 years or so...didnt they win one final recently by 25 points or something ?. What a joke.

They seem to have got a right few free passes in Ulster and All-Ireland over the past few years also

[fitzroyalty]

Just out of curiosity. Name the clubs that have beaten Cross in competitive fixtures in the last ten years. I'd say you could near count with both hands.

[armaghranger12]

They lost to pearse ogs in the Armagh Champioship

in Ulster Bellaghy(Derry), Castleblayney(Monaghan), Enniskillen (Fermanagh),  Errigal Ciarán (Tyrone)X 2

Portlaoise,(Laois) and St Vicents(Dublin) in the all ireland semi final Kilmacud Crokes(Dublin) in the final

There is a couple more jsut cant think maybe one more???

[Orchardman]

good question, of the top of my head i'l try it this order, see if others can fill in any wrong answers:

2012: All ireland final, so far
2011: All ireland champs
2010: beat in armagh by ogs  ( sept 09)

2009: beat in all ireland semi by kilmacud crokes
2008: beat in all ireland semi by st vincents
2007: All ireland champs
2006:  loup?
2005: beat in all ireland semi by portlaoise i think
2004:  bellaghy?
2003: beat in ulster by errigal (end of 02)
2002:  beat in ulster by enniskillen  (end of 01)
2001: beat in ulster by blayney     (end of 2000)

ALL ireland champs 97,99, 2000

i know bellaghy beat them, not sure what year, remember the game. loup is a wild guess

[BennyCake]

Doesnt the league count as competitive now?!

[armaghranger12]

The league does count but in Cross players are judged on the number of County, Ulster and All-Irelands not league medals they have.. That's not been disrespecting the league but Cross win the league year after year minus the county players. They get maybe one tough game a year in the league and sometimes teams play their second team again cross( Granemore)

You really are just a twat are'nt you
Free passes

2010 Kerry 2-18  Tipp 2-6
2008 Kerry 1-14  Clare 0-5
2007 Kerry 2-15  Waterford 0-4
2005 Kerry 2-22 Tipp 0-13
2003 Kerry 0-25 Tipp 1-10

Talk about free passes, i could'nt be bothered going back more than 10 years

They really let themselves down badly there from 2000 AI win to about 2004 

[JUst retired]

In the league last year they were beaten by Sarsfields, held to a draw at home in Cross,by Maghery and beaten at home by Maghery. On both occasions they had a full side out.But as someone said they dont put much store in the league. Still getting 2pts out of four aint bad.

[sheamy]

Dont think that dungiven has played cross down the years but i think that year errigal ciaran in that year.

Yep. Mickey Harte's Errigal beat Cross in semis and Dungiven beat Errigal in the final.

[Orchardman]

That's true but i think 2002 was the only season that harte was in charge of the club, which they did beat cross over a 3 game seres in ulster club.

As for league games, i'm sure nearly every div 1 team has beaten cross at least once over the last 10 years. League's don't matter much and cross have still won the last few handy!
