All this talk of hearty in goals, i have seen enough of Geoughan throughtout the mc kenna cup and league to date to say that i reckon he will get the nod for the number 1 jersey.
Hearty is so unpredictable at times and has made some howlers, i.e The goal against tyrone last year,

Correct me if im wrong onion bag, but was Geoughan the ballymacnab Goal keeper? Was he not at fault for at least one of the goals in the county final against Cross? And did he not single handily get David Mc Kenna man of the match because he could only kick the ball down the middle of the field and had no variation on the kick outs? He also that day denyed Cross another 3 or 4 goals to his credit.

I think he has the potential to be a good keeper but to say that he 1st choice is away off the mark. Hearty has a bad blunder against Tyrone last year and Donegal a few years ago but I can also think of game's that he won for both Armagh and Cross down the years.

I'll correct you but that was Sean Hughes, who incidentally had a good game that day. Geoghan is a very goo keeper.

Kernan's red card stands. Pity for the fella.

Milltown Row2 · March 02, 2012, 12:18:55 PM

Don't think it will have any bearing on the game in fairness Tony, When Cross click they will run over the top of this team. Cross minus 3!!

Do a double bet every year, usually comes up, but the hurling game will be tough to call. Did Cross to draw one year, Crokes game happy days Osin!!

Can see the hurling going to a draw as it will be tight.

Applesisapples · March 02, 2012, 01:26:20 PM

Christ when you think of some of the yellows issued Stephen Kernan's Red was very very harsh considering he was emptied late by the Crokes man who wasn't even sanctioned.

brokencrossbar1 · March 02, 2012, 01:35:16 PM

Big shame for Stephen but you know what happens when someone is given a cause to fight for...

From an overall team perspective I agree but on a personal level it's shit to see someone lose out due to a harsh refereeing decision.

I've never met stephen kernan, but it really annoys me when this happens to a lad, missing the chance to lead his club out in an all ireland final, with 3 other brothers playing. It wouldn't matter that he already has 2 all irelands, i'd be sick as a dog.

The sending off was a joke, the gaa need to wise up. surely this will go to DRA

Showed it on the glorious beeb this evening again in slo mo and while there's no question he was not the agressor, he retaliated and clearly boxed the f##ker. Unfortunately for him but it was a sending off offence, provoked or not.

what a complete joke that this should stand, it was more of a (get off me motion) than a intentional strike, like, paul kerragan got his red card overturned after 2 counts of intent to strike, any paper I've read, both north and south says that it was a dubious sending off, so were is the problem, in fact I've heard nothing else only that it was a harsh sending off from the media, pundits, and players alike, the bigest game off the lads life and to be cheated out of it like this leaves you very disillusioned with the gaa, some of the bans and fines there dishing out is a disgrace.

Honestly think that the disciplinary board is destroying our game with some of the inconsistency and lunacy of some of the decisions made.

Prior to yeterday evening, I would have agreed with you. When I was watching the game, I was jumpin around the kitchen like a lunatic in bad temper when he got sent off. Unfortunately the footage last night shows a clear box and intent dosen't come into it at that stage. Its clear, if you strike, you walk.

Enda Muldoon reacted in a similar 'get off me' fashion when that sc#mb#g Paddy Campbell grabbed him by the b@lls in 06 (Described as extreme provocation at the time) but his red card regardless of how unjust it was, was not rescinded on appeal.
