All-Ireland Club Football Final - Crossmaglen v Garrycastle

[haranguerer]

Do you think mebbe Cross played for the draw the first day so Stephen would get to lift the trophy as he deserved to? 

[Syferus]

Great performance by Cross but this was after a replay and last year St. Brigids were very close to them. There'll be plenty of teams that'll fancy their chances against Cross and it'll be a very hard campaign if they're going to make it three-in-a-row.

There will be plenty of teams that fancy themselves against Cross. Most of them will be wrong. It only takes one, of course.

[Oraisteach]

Syferus, I think it's a very hard campaign when you win any All-Ireland, don't you think?  Cross will have enough to handle in Armagh and Ulster, never mind in the semis and final.

[haranguerer]

Some Garrycastle players weren't even wearing proper socks. In an AI final ffs!

I'd be more worried about getting embarrassed in an AI final...

Theres a reason for it, I'm sure they didnt just forget, be they ankle supports or something

The perennial parlour game, find an angle to produce an argument to suggest Crossmaglen are n't as good as their record suggests! There are plenty of teams who 'fancy their chances against Cross',however the vast majority can't even put themselves in a position to get to play Cross', those that do find only a very select few come out on top!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fifteen points! Jaysus, club football in Ireland must be very poor.

Lol

Jesus, the size that chip on your shoulder must cost you an extra seat on buses and trains!

Well done cross. Glad to see it. 

[ross4life]

Well done to Cross! the bench mark of club football & they raised the bar even further with that display today, no doubt they will supass Nemo's record within the next few years. For Garrycastle the fairytale story has no happy ending but they should be proud of their efforts especially bringing Cross to a replay.

[bennydorano]

Well done to Cross, thing that sticks in my mind most (apart from some terrible Hearty kickouts) was Paul Kernan being helped off near the end, he was prepared to put everything on the line. My heart then sank as i realised Harps are next up for them in the championship.

Thank the Good Lord for remote analysis, didn't even notice the chip myself far less realise that others could,don't use buses or trains! Seriously though, where where do you think Igot the chip?   

[Denn Forever]

Well done Cross.  Garrycastle took the wrong options from the start.

[sammymaguire]

That Cross team is awesome for a club team. Jamie Clarke hardly got a sniff and they had 4/5 other forwards taking points at will in the 2nd half and their accuracy was unreal. Scary thing is, I don't think they really got out of third gear today.

Did some people think they were finished when Francie and the McEntees quit?

I think any club in Ireland should use this team/game as a benchmark as these guys should be shooting for 5 in a row.

Ankle supports? Thon's a pair of Wilson tennis socks - 3 pairs for £1.

Reminds me of u12 matches against Ardoyne years ago.

I could name a right few teams wearing celtic shorts, tracksuit bottoms, trainers, basketball shorts etc. Some craic but complete waste of a game as they were usually shite!
