Ulster Club SFC 2024

[JoG2]

I'd give Errigal every chance v Kilcoo. Scotstown refused to adapt, they just continued to play their own style & way, their arrogance cost them badly imo. Errigal were poor enough today so have a lot of room for improvement. Enda McGinley is a shrewd man, I'd  imagine he'll have a gameplan that will give them every chance.

100% Benny. I tipped EC weeks ago, just think they have a good balance to them and a serious attacking unit. Assuming the game will be in the Athletic Grounds, Errigal by 4.

We've had it all in here today from classic GAAisms (such and such would beat the pick of those two teams, jesus wept) to boys not knowing the rules. Hard to beat   

[Armagh18]

Final will be a good game, just think Kilcoo will be too streetwise and deal with the Canavan threat better.

Should McCambridge not have been put on to him?

15 v 15 CE win that game with a few to spare.

How on earth can anyone say this with a straight face given how 40 mins or the game at 15 v 15 went?!

Clann Eireann 3 up and cruising? Did you actually watch it?

Cruising! Jesus Christ. I watched it alright but not sure you did. They were 3 up late in the first half too and pegged back, so what's your point?!

They weren't 3 up late in the first half were they? If you're talking about the goal that put them 2 points up, not 3

[thebigfullforward]

Errigal will need the ref to help them in the final they looked leggy.

Kilcoo showed what level they can play to last night

Course they were leggy. No harm but Kilcoo are able to cruise to a final every year. Errigal don't have that luxury. Could've lost the first round, replay in the second round, went to the wire in the semi and the same in the final, week turn around then for the Eunans game

Kilcoo have developed a habit of cruising past county champions too.

Not standing up for Down football btw. But I'm pretty sure Burren, Carryduff wouldn't be long picking up a Tyrone title if they were moved.

Yeah. Penalty made it 1-5 to 0-6.

[tyroneman]

TK's first yellow could have been handed to 3 or 4 Errigal players who committed similar or worse fouls (plenty of it off the ball too) long before he was booked.

The incessant fouling and goading of him after half time was distasteful and wasn't dealt with properly at all either.

McQuillan seemed happy to let that run but then when
TK didnt react to provocation, showed him red for the softest of frees.

2 Canavans were very very good and scored some wonder points but was funny hearing the Errigal crowd themselves casually talking about where and when the Canavans would buy thier next free from, like it's a perfectly normal part of EC strategy. McQuillan naturally obliging of course...

Still...for CE to play a fair chunk of 2nd half with 14 men and without thier starting CHB for a large portion as well as he had to go off injured ....and still be in the game up to the last kick.... 

[Milltown Row2]

Watched first half, seemed an even enough game. EC (Tyrone's only winners) will give Kilcoo their fill of it, Kilcoo play on the edge though and will take a strong ref to let teams at it and not allow players to buy frees or nip in the bud goading players.

Both of these teams are good at that

Interestingly the managers of the hurling game beforehand were told how the ref was going to ref it, no soft frees, letting it go, physicality..

And it was a war of attrition, while lacking quality the intensity was good and both teams knew what to expect

[Wildweasel74]

But what's a soft free. It's either a free ir it's not.The hurling was a great game, but there was a deadly amount of free ignored,  especially for pulling bck and checking runs.

A soft free is when the ref blows for a free which has no impact on that passage of play, so while a jersey my be tugged or an over physical challenge is made, if the outcome is still with the play then play on and not be whistle happy.

[PMG1]

McQuillan did not cost CE that game, would you all ever catch yourselves on. The fouls on Darragh were fouls. At one stage he was grabbed and swung around 360 and one of you was whinging about him diving. Too many CE names didn't show up. Ruairi Canavan was the best player on the pitch by a distance.

Don't think EC will have the legs for Kilcoo's running.

The decision not too black card for the penalty was a massive call mcquillan got wrong.

It was a pull back not a pull down, yellow correct decision

[downtothecore]

Kilcoo v Errigal ulster final. It should be a great game. These 2 teams are very good football teams.  Kilcoo probably a better all round team but have nobody the quality of the 2 canavans. Both teams are well managed. I think kilcoo are super fit team and this may edge the contest in their favour. Looking forward to this....

CE had quite clearly taken a grasp of the game at that point and EC were really struggling for ideas.

The notion that you can dismiss such a comment with such certainty is pretty nonsensical.

Canavans are just a joy to watch.

Canavans are brilliant players, up there with the best in the country at the minute but my god the diving at the slightest touch does my head in, is there any need

2 unreal footballers no doubt but refs need to wise up to the diving they be at.

Wouldn't like to be the Tyrone/Errigal kit man washing the muck off the jerseys with the amount of time they spent lying in it.
