A lot of the 'tackles' were lazy slaps or pulls through the back of the man's legs and if i hear some moron shouting "the ball was there" well, it might have been but in a lot of instances the purp wasn't within an asses roar of the feckin thing. Soft penalty though as the man was burrowing in but it was alway going to be given at that stage of the game.

As a neutral I'd like to say Burren and Kilcoo served up a great game - it was also well refereed and I dont think the second Burren penalty call was on, to me the free should have gone to Kilcoo for charging.
Burren failed to see the need to drop an extra defender in front of Laverty and Daniel McCartan was at sea for he entire game and if his name was Smith he wouldn't be near selection.
Apart from Laverty, Niall Morgan was immenses, especially in first half and young Paul Devlin really came into it late on. Really there should have been more than 2 points in it.
For Burren only Declan Rooney stood out, not much leadership on the fiels - or indeed off it from what I could see.
There is decent material in this Burren team but they appear to have headed themselves into a management cul-de-sac.
Have to say the Kilcoo record this year is one to marvel at but Loughinisland have some good man-marking defenders and will make the final a close run thing.

I think it's going to be the year of the K's. Kilkenny, Kerry and Kilcoo!

Well youv'e a good chance with Kikenny anyway.
What about Kork?

[Long Ball]

Traditionally Kilcoo are a club that do not have the balls for championship football. They always bottled it when the time came to stand up and be counted. This year however if (when?) they win the championship they will have done it the hard way. They are not the best players in the county, not the best team in the county but they have a never say die attitude that no other team in the county has

They are the best team I have seen in the county this year and that includes Mayobridge. And anyway at the end of the day gaelic football is all about the championship and that's where to judge a team.

As a neutral at last nights match I must agree with the above
what took me was the physicality of Kilcoo, their athleticism and their willingness to chase every ball.
Gone was the nasty petulant side though Dominic Mc should have walked for sheer stupidity when the game was over.
Laverty and Paul devlin were fantastic, though Declan Rooney had a fantastic hour for Buren
Great nights entertainment
