Sound system at Celtic Park a joke and no programmes left just before hal-time of the Intermediate match!!!

[Real Talk]

Not surprised all programmes were gone, not many would have anticipated a crowd of over 9 and half k

That was hard luck on Danny Tallon and Glen if he wasn't aware he had to score !!!

Is this tongue in cheek?

Magherafelt deserved to win.  They were the better team and Glen couldn't close that 3 point gap until injury time.

Magherafelt were cute in that they went down at every opportunity in 2nd half to kill the game.  In injury time, they were even worse.  Ref should have allowed more time in injury time for that.

[Take yer points]

Looked like Glen could have scored from that attack when the whistle was blown.

Wasn't at it but heard Tallon was told his free was last kick and he decided to go short??

Definitely the whistle was blown before the shot was taken you can see Magherafelt players celebrating just as the last man got the ball.

Wasn't a free kick. It was open play. To blow the whistle just as the man was kicking the ball was a crazy decision. Glen should rightly feel robbed. Overall on the day Magherafelt were the better team but Glen should have stole the draw at the end. Don't think there would have been any objections from Magherafelt.

After first quarter, Mfelt controlled the game. Should have won by about 7 points, missed a penalty plus easy free. For John Joe to blow time when he did, with Glen in a possible scoring position, was against the spirit of any Gaelic match never mind a final. Poor decision. Mind you, some of Glen's shot selections were just as poor.

As a neutral looking in.,... Id be looking into that refs bank account and betting account.

Can we just call bull shit on this once and for all, he could have blown the game up straight after Shane Heavrons free, or at least 3 times in the build up to the shot, if he's placed a bet on Magherafelt to win would he not just have made it easier for himself by doing the aforementioned? And also how much f**king money do you think a bookie would take on this game in single bets - a few hundred pounds liability per single maximum? I'd hardly think he'd be at any of that for a few hundred pounds.

[marty34]

My point is that within the 4mins of 'added time', there was M'felt lads down injured, so he should have added more than the 4mins.

Plus was there a sub or 2 made at this stage of game?

I think over the weekend we saw the two faces of modern day has - the power hungry money driven people at the top intent on tinkering with the playing rules and at the other side of the scale we see the club players go out on to the field and give it all for their communities with very little say on fixtures or rule changes. When you see the emotion it brings ( see Magherafelt captains interview with BBC) . The is where the real traditional GAA survives

This is something that happens all the time. It's occured in All-Ireland Finals, nevermind the Derry SFC. Something that should really be tightened up, but JJ put himself in an impossible situation. Should have blown it up before it got to that. Wasn't at the game, but from talking to people who were, he was already into extra time after the additional 4mins.

Also seen a clip yesterday evening of a Glen supporter giving Cleary a bit of a shunt as he was being escorted off by the fellas in the bright orange vests. Seemed to be dealt with very quickly, by other Glen supporters.

I think we could replace joking with slabbering?

But that's the problem Estimator - it there is 4mins for added time, but if a team's players are down injured and more than like wasting time and killing the game, never mind subs off and on, then another 3 mins should be added.

In fairness, time keeping for county games and club championship games should be taken out of refs' hands.  He has too much to do during a game.

Pity that was debated at congress at the week-end.
