Down Club Hurling & Football

[PTC]

Hopefully the officials aren't the talking point when the game finishes, it's a thankless job! Really looking forward to the game

Just watching the rugby world cup at the moment; the respect shown to the ref is amazing. No backchat is permissible, and is severely punished. We need a culture change!!!

Thing is - with the amount of shite a referee gets - why are folks surprised that there isn't a large pool of great referees to pick from?

I dunno what the answer is - but we need to be careful we don't end up with clubs having to referee halves.

Good coverage on Down TV with Patsy Russell https://t.co/ICn7vNl7pf?amp=1

Very good coverage from Patsy and co this evening.

Been a fairly open game so far. Good luck to our men in the 2nd half, big effort required. #UTM

Who were those two imbeciles trying to commentate on the game tonight. They were more interested in thanking their cousins or whoever rather than concentrating on the job they were asked to do, that was wild hard to listen to.  Then the thing crashes at the penalty and when it comes back, Kilcoo have scored two goals. What was that all about? The stream was decent but why not sync with the game rather than being so far behind.

Same old Burren - grow a set of balls when the going gets tight. Like the drawn game, your big players went missing when they should have stood up. Serious investment, again, for little return. Big names often come with big reputations and big expenses but not always big results.

Was a serious number of balls kicked onto the field the last 5 minutes.

Great game. Burren really blew it; 4 pts up, in dying minutes, in possession, yet contrived to allow Kilcoo to steal it. I've been critical of Lavery on this forum for other reasons, but he was superb in setting up the penalty and scoring the winner; when the pressure is on you need your top men to show up.
Not sure where this tactic of kicking balls onto the field to hold up play came from, but it's very unsporting, as is lying down at the faintest touch.

Didn't hear it Lotto, heard them say hello to their grandsons listening and that's all. They done a fairly reasonable job I thought, probably volunteers so if you were expecting the Sunday game panel you'd be left wanting. Why people are so mischievous about those contributing to the game for very little reward.

Thought this game was the opposite of last week. Burren better team but couldn't see it out. Dominated midfield this time as well. Better game, less off the ball and man in yellow done a good job.

Thought the ref did well let the game go as best he good, kilcoo supporters beside me saying that stevie McDonald kicked balls on to pitch in last years final so they were getting there own back. Laverty stood up again when it mattered most

I agree ref did well.
I did see that from stevie last year myself.
Well done on the live stream. A Few relatives watched it online. They seemed pleased with it

[Targetman]

Decent game tonight that Burren looked like winning with relative comfort until the penalty, then Kilcoo kicked on and finished the stronger, like previous posters said Laverty's influence in the last 10 minutes was the difference, anyone know what the row at the corner of the stand was about, gonna need segregation in the future!!

kids fighting behind the stand or so i believe

[Cuan12]

Well one things for sure Yewtree , Newry won't be buzzing as Burren are out and your lot will be joining them next round- the joys the joys

Didn't crash for me so I'd say it's more to do with your internet connection and the amount of devices connected to it. Stream was great and they are volunteers for this and it was free so stop complaining.

Laverty the difference tonight for Kilcoo, East Down clean sweep is on.
