Can't see a back to back in Tyrone. People think every year that it's going to happen but I'm just not sure. Could easily be caught out in the first round Errigal. Think Trillick had the best chance the year they lost to Dungannon on pens
Leitrim Gaels will likely be thereabouts with the 3 Jones brothers now with them.
Rumours of Shane Walsh transferring to Salthill/Knocknacarragh. They were 4/1 on Sunday to win Galway sfc, now they are in to 2/1.

Who have they got players wise?
McElholm, McCullagh, the Donaghy's, Oisin O'Kane keeper. Few other players that would be decent. Pushed Dungannon last year in Pomeroy
I think it's between CE and Cross in Armagh, with the CE squad maybe just a little better. That said, if they dont play to their own levels in a particular game then they could be picked off by Madden, Killeavy etc.
St Brigids roaring favourites in Roscommon.
Pearses, Boyle, Ros Gaels and Clann are in the running. One of them might catch Brids in a Qtr Final.
Brids have a team in all 4 adult Championships!!
Don't know enough to be hazarding guesses about the other 31 Counties.
Or their SHCs, IFCs, IHCs etc

Clann Éireann are the best team in Armagh though I think they're without Heffron again which is a big loss. They'll also have one eye on Ulster this year.
Cross on paper are as probably just as strong but don't have the same cohesion (too many me feiners in the forwards IMO).
Killeavy are my darkhorses, they were 14/1 with Toals now down to 11/1, a seasoned and experienced panel that have regularly featured in semi finals. They've Stevie McDonnell at the helm and have been playing good football on their way to a first ever Division 1 title.

I believe Heffron will be home for Championship.
Cross ability to get two pointers will certainly give them a chance.
Stevie has done well with Kileavey had them playing on front foot last year prior to the rule changes, when they had a reputation of playing defensive football. Things didn't go to well at Clonoe for him but he seems to have reinvented himself after a bit of time out of coaching at senior level. If they could get Conor O'Neill back on the pitch be a big lift for them.

He still does that commute for the majority of the year to play for Galway. In my opinion, if you transfer club to a different county then you should no longer be eligible for your home county. The entire premise of the transfer is that one no longer lives there.

Last team to do back to back in Tyrone was carrickmore in 2005. Trillick have came closest in recent years to do it, having the opportunity in their last 2 defeats in the county final.

Lochmacrory will definitely be up there although I still think it could be a year or 2 too early for them.
You could easily pick out 10 teams in Tyrone with a possibility to win it. Errigal and Trillick are the best 2 teams but there's no value in their odds from a betting point of view.
Dungannon at 8/1 looks like the value bet in my opinion.

18 adult games in Roscommon this weekend in the Senior, Intermediate and Junior A CHAMPIONSHIPS.

I see fixtures in the paper for Antrim 'championship' if you can call group stages championship. Straight knock-out the real thing...
Kerry seem to have the right formula though.
Tyrone seemed to be good though in Tyrone but pretty poor elsewhere
Considering the Tyrone senior team got to the All Ireland final and is so competitive the team they drew with in the first round of the championship (Clonoe) was relegated.. ultra competitive. Tyrone Intermediate and Junior teams regularly win Ulster.. 🤷 it's not bad.
Kerry nominate teams to play in Junior that are clearly too strong for that level. They've a poor senior record.
Errigal Ciarán last January was the first ever Tyrone club to reach All-Ireland senior final. Kerry clubs have reached 10 finals winning 6 but have only won one since the mid 90s has their current format played a part in that?
I've no idea. I just suggested the straight knock-out is real championship competition not round-robins which are designed to bring in more revenue. Sin é!
Or it gives players more games, then waiting all year for potentially one game. Tyrone dont start the championship until September.
They don't wait all year for one game... they play pre-season tournament and loada league games...

So you're saying we shouldn't count Tyrone's AI wins in '05 and '08 as they weren't "real" championships. Sound.

Check title of thread CLUB Championship..
Armagh SFC draw was earlier today. Teams are seeded based on league position with Group 1 probably the toughest group. In-form Killeavy and Culloville (1A & 1B league winners) finalists for the last two years Clan na Gael and 2016 & 2020 winners Maghery.
Top team in each group progresses straight to the QFs. Teams finishing 2nd/3rd in each group play each other to join the 4 group winners.
Clann Éireann and Crossmaglen are most people's favourites along with Killeavy and Madden.
Group 1
Killeavy
Clan na Gael
Culloville
Maghery
Group 2
Madden
Mullaghbawn
Cullyhanna
Pearse Óg
Group 3

By best would mean most exciting and competitive.. not 1 team dominating for years and not getting a glove laid on them until the provincial series.

"Championship competition" is championship competition regardless of whether it's club or county. If you want to walk back your shite talking, grand. If not, you'll just have to live with the fact that, by your own logic, a full 50% of Tyrone's AIs don't count.

If you read back I said.. knock-out is real championship not the league shadow boxing. I assume Antrim has quarter-finals, semi-finals and a final. It's hurting you this :D

All this talk about Shane Walsh transferring back to a Galway club, surely you can only transfer Jan and Feb. Unless that has changed it was my understanding that the club he's currently with cannot change until new year?.

Next thing he'll be looking for a Delorean and a copy of Old Moore's Almanac.
Armagh football fairly unpredictable so far. (Bar Cross and Clann Eireann topping their groups)
Even looking at intermediate, league winners Tullysaran winless and gone, St Pauls (finalists 4 or 5 times in recent years) second in their group and into a play off. Ballymacnab 3rd in their group
Clan na Gael out of Championship having lost all 3 group games and I think they were in last 2 County Finals or 2 from 3 at least.

They were in a serious tough group with league winners Killeavey, 1b league winners Culloville and 'Maghery who are probably not the team they were but can put it up to anyone on their day. Still a fair shock although I know they had lads in America all summer and a few injuries as well

One of my main reasons for not going back into management .. I can't do the arm over the shoulder crap or the, he's got issues. Not performing and in this case 1/16 and losing?
WhatsApp groups should be only for letting players know training starts at 6.45. Match arrangements meet at whatever time, those excuses coming in do my head in.

Unrail win for Michael Glaveys against Brigids. Had 20 euros on them to win at 7/1.
I have Boyle backed at 10/1. I saw earlier in the year that Eamon O'Hara was managing them and he had a good record managing clubs in Leitrim and Sligo.
They have lost 2 of the last 3 Roscommon sfc finals and with players like Enda Smith, Donie Smith, Cian McKeown and the 2 Creggs, I thought 10/1 was good value. Into 13/5 now.
Kerry Club Championships are at the semifinal stage. I have added where each club finished in the County League for reference. The County Championship starts weekend of 21 September.
Senior Club semifinals
Na Gaeil (div 3 - 4th) v Rathmore (div 1 - 9th)
Dr. Crokes (div 1 - 3rd) v Kenmare Shamrocks (div 2 - winners)
Intermediate Club semifinals:
Kilcummin (div 1 - 8th) v Fossa (div 2 - 11th relegated)
Killarney Legion (div 1 - 4th) v An Ghaeltacht (div 2 - 9th)
Premier Junior semifinals:
Keel (div 2 - 8th) v St. Senan's (div 3 - 8th)
Listry (div 3 - 5th) v Ballymacelligott (div 1 - 11th relegated)

Ballymac are in the Junior championship and were in Div 1 this year.
It's like Armagh used to be years ago; totally separate.
Anyone hear anything with the Hollymount Carramore game yet? Surely they can put in an appeal against that decision. My question would be where is the line drawn?

I would imagine that what ever was decided on the day was decided on the day. Mistakes are made all the time in real time in matches. Balls called out that are not and vice versa, Square balls incorrectly called, over-carrying. If you went on Video evidence for a borderline decision - jez, every decision would have to be scrutinised.
Nothing more to see here....

All well and good saying that. Wonder how that would go down if you said it to the players that trained all year for championship to then be screwed over with something like that. If it was in an All Ireland final there would be uproar and rightfully so. Should be no different for any club game. I do agree though that there has to be a line drawn somewhere.

Officiating Sport is not perfect. Wrong decisions are made in every game. You'll rarely get anything near a perfectly officiated game. I've seen dodgy frees giving in the last minute to draw or even win games and these have gone for and against the teams we played. That's just sport- trying to correct this will only leave the game open to other issues down the line. The result is the result.
You bring this in at this level and County boards will get tied up and tied up with appeals and objections, whenever a team feels hard done by - and the losing team always feels hard done by.

There is a line drawn. It's officials not seeing it that's the issue.
Dodgy frees, that ref need been blind not to see how far inside the line that kid was!

County League completely independent of club and county championships.
As number of senior clubs is being moved from 8 to 10, there is no relegation in 2024 or 2025.
Two of previous years' divisional sides, Feale Rangers and Shannon Rangers, have combined to form one divisional side, North Kerry.
Three of the intermediate semi-finalists, namely Kilcummin, Fossa and Killarney Legion, will be the backbone of divisional side East Kerry. Add junior semi-finalist Listry, Glenflesk (intermediate team, finished 7th in div 1) and Firies (intermediate team, finished 5th in div2) and its easy to see why East Kerry should win the County Championship. Maybe a limit on the number of intermediate teams in any divisional team should be considered.
Doesn't seem to be too many people watching Dublin club football. Is that Parnell park? Is all the crowd on the camera side?
Fossa win their semi final by 3. Kilcummin could have scored 3 goals in the last 90 seconds and hit the post with the last kick of the game after Paudie Clifford got turned over on his own 45.

Have been impressed with Fossa number 12 in the 3 games I've seen this year
Looks like Hollymount Carramore's appeal fell on deaf ears.

Naas finally beaten in Kildare - SARSFIELDS 0-19 NAAS 1-7
1,820 days and 31 games have passed since Naas last tasted Championship defeat in Kildare, that against Celbridge in 2020, but they were very much second best on the day as Sarsfields turned on the style.
It only means the finish second in the group but it was a big win for the Sash who lost to them badly in the Div 1 Final a few weeks back.
Armagh SFC at knockout stage. 4 group winners are straight through to the QFs:
Maghery
Cullyhanna
Crossmaglen
Clann Éireann
QF play-offs are as follows, my picks highlighted in bold:
Culloville v St Peter's
Carrickcruppen v Granemore
Armagh Harps v Madden
Killeavy v Mullaghbawn
£12 into the Junior B final 2moro night :o and coincidentally no live Armagh TV coverage, only deferred, eventho there's nothing else on- i have paid £90 for a pass. Sticking the arm in there big time. If it was labelled the Reserve or B final as in previous years - i think it has been £5 entry
Letterkenny going out a surprise in Donegal? Glenties down by five too but still early.
How many steps that lad Gray take for his goal, Ridiculous
TG4 is a god send. Better than watching Premier Division dung.
Kerry Club Finals:
Senior - Dr. Crokes 0-20 Na Gaeil 1-12
Intermediate - An Ghaeltacht 0-19 Fossa 1-11
Premier Junior - Ballymacelligott 2-17 St. Senan's 3-14 AET. Ballymacelligott win 4-1 on penalties.
Armagh SFC at QF stage this weekend. St Peter's (who are relegated to Intermediate for 2026) the surprise package reaching the last 8.
Cullyhanna v St Peter's
Crossmaglen v Carrickcruppen
Maghery v Madden
Clann Éireann v Killeavy
Should be fairly straight forward wins for the teams in bold, Maghery could well cause an upset v Madden

Quote from: Rossfan on September 17, 2025, 04:14:13 PMHow can a team still in the SFC be already relegated to IFC????
The grades are all linked in Armagh. St Peter's got relegated from the senior league, so unless they do the unthinkable and win the Senior championship, they're intermediate for next year.
That's sounds daft with all due respects.

In Tyrone 6 games this year without county players and 9 with them. When league is directly linked to championship it actually gives teams something to play for. League would be taken seriously here. A league game between 2 close rivals could draw in over a thousand

Teams are seeded for championship in Armagh based on their league position. So it's taken a bit more seriously than it would have been before. No real dead rubbers either as leagues have been condensed into 8 teams. It also affords smaller clubs an easier path to reaching intermediate or senior football than under the previous system.

So are there just 4 division in the league in Armagh/Tyrone then? Senior/Inter/Junior/Junior B?
An example in my own county of Westmeath, the likes of Killucan would have a large amount of dual players, and a few involved in both county football and hurling squads.
So they play league matches down a lot of players, hence they are in division 3. But when all players are available, they are able to hold their own in the senior championship, have done for the last 20 years or so.

There are technically 6 leagues in Armagh. 1A & 1B (Senior) 2A & 2B (Intermediate) 3A & 3B (Junior & Junior B). There would only be two clubs that I can think of in Armagh that come close to that scenario and no amount of county player availability will change the fact they're both not SFC standard.

Somebody ring Jim quick, he'll release a statement and sort it out...
Obviously anecdotal but how are things going with the new rules in your own county.
Just wondering if some of the teams with 'nicer' players are doing better this year. The top teams in Kildare are still there at Senior level, but down the grades a couple of clubs with lighter and faster forwards are doing the business.
Does the 2 point arc look to be a fair distance out in this Brigids - Roscommon Gaels to anyone else? Maybe it's just the tv angle of it
Roscommon Gaels arguing with the ref after hitting a player when he tried to tap and go and the ball being moved up 50m 🤣🤣🤣. What's the point? It was the definition of a foul and he was right to bring it forward too
Ros Gaels last night managed by our new Co manager.
You'd be worried. ...
Anyone know what the Kilcoo penalty was for at the end
Some comeback by the Roscommon defending champions Pádraig Pearses against Boyle. 0-14 to 0-7 they were behind with 55 minutes played and have brought the match to extra time 0-14 each.
Pearses 7 in front at half time in extra time. Pearses end up winning by 5. What might have been for Boyle.
1-16 to 1-4 last 25 minutes or so of playing time.
Poor collapse by Boyle. Thought this could be their year and looked comfortable as game went into last 10 mins. But some turnaround by Pearses who completely out muscled and out fought Boyle from there on.
Not as easy to close down a game under FRC rules but still....
Momentum can be everything.
Some goal from Ross McQuillan.

Of course he did. Super finish.
St Peters ran them a lot closer thank I expected but the 4 best teams in the county are through. Should be 2 excellent semi finals
Madden a step too far, Cullyhanna and Cross could be tasty.
Do Kerry GAA just not bother posting about club football? In Tyrone you'd be getting score updates and teamsheets posted but can't see any of that in any Kerry club game

Second round of divisional games on today. South Kerry beat St. Brendan's and North Kerry beat St. Kieran's.
I doubt any divisional team would have a PRO to issue updates.
Draw for next round:
Kenmare Shamrocks v North KerryAustin Stacks v Milltown/CastlemaineDr Crokes v Mid KerryDingle v Na GaeilTemplenoe v East KerrySouth Kerry v SpaByes Rathmore and West Kerry
Tyrone down to last 4
Semis
Errigal Ciaran v Trillick
Loughmacrory v Carrickmore
First semi would be viewed as a final. Repeat pairing of last 2 finals.
Both teams pushed all the way by big underdogs in quarters. With a wide consensus ref gave Errigal a huge helping hand.
Second semi is very interesting. 2 clubs for the same parish with 2 very different history's. Lough smaller club with no real footprint in senior champo. Don't think they had won a game in it to this year and now they are in their first SF but they have had a lot of talent coming though of late with lots of Tyrone youth and now seniors including u20 all Ireland footballer of the year Eoin McElholm.
Carrickmore the decorated neighbour but their successful year very much behind them. Haven't won it 20 years and prob don't possess the squad to win it anytime soon. For talent you would give Lough the nod but carrickmore maybe be too ignorant to let it happen.
Game on!
Lough V Errigal final, Errigal win
Down to the last 4 in the SFC championship in Galway and no surprise with the 4 teams still standing. Both semi finals will be a double header under the lights in Pearse Stadium on Sat, Oct 11th -
Corofin v Salthill Knocknacarra
Moycullen v Tuam Stars

yeah it'll certainly be an impact. I suspect they will still have too much for those in Armagh. Serious blow for Ulster.
Heard Dan McCarthy also unavailable, but dont know the extent of that. Serious depth of squad there at CE though.

Yes. That's how strong their squad is and what separates the best club teams from the chasing pack.

Ah stop.
They'll probably win Armagh without him but it's a huge blow to Ulster ambitions if he's out.

What's the feeling on Boyle at this stage, have they missed their chance or is there more to come? Some pick of forwards for a club team.
Possibly missed the boat at this stage. Really blew their best chance in 2022.
O'Hara may not have done them any favours either.
Vs Pearses they started veteran Sean Purcell till he ran out of steam.
Pearses brought veteran Niall Daly on late in the game.
Boyle were 7 up round 55 minutes, Donie Smith black card and they seemed to disintegrate.

yeah it'll certainly be an impact. I suspect they will still have too much for those in Armagh. Serious blow for Ulster.
Heard Dan McCarthy also unavailable, but dont know the extent of that. Serious depth of squad there at CE though.
Wouldn't be writing Cross off just yet.
Madden will give Clann Eireann their fill of it in the semi final, Grimley is still a class act and Darragh McMullen one of the best footballers in the county I think. Plenty of others very talented there as well. Would say Clann Eireann will have just about enough. Cullyhanna and Cross could go either way, Cullyhanna could have beat them last year as well.
Never write Cross off though is right.
Be interesting to see. Cross haven't really been tested so far, and they couldn't have hand-picked an easier group or QF opponent.

I would say no and no. Carryduff is significantly separate to not be classed as a Belfast club and no Belfast club has won the senior championship. They have a right chance to give it a proper go.

Your next door neighbours...I would say Carryduff are Not a Belfast club, like who would want to admit that. ;)
There's also the fact that Belfast is predominantly associated with Antrim. We're talking about it here in the Antrim thread. The city clubs in Antrim are all rivals who play each other regularly and have done for decades.
Because Bredagh (who are obviously a Belfast club) and Carryduff (who are increasingly a Belfast club) are Down clubs and don't play the others, they're not thought of as such.

Although at go games they largely
Play in the City.
From outside the city they are a Belfast club, from inside the city they sort of arent. Schrödingers Gaa club.
The defining criteria is when the Glider eventually runs there they'll be a full city club.
Fun and all though this is, I'd say they are a very well run club with a lot to admire about them and how they have built themselves and taken advantage of population and demographic changes. they've had some breaks on facilities (that Bredagh haven't) but have come a long way from picking dog crap and broken glass of the pitch at Cherryvale.
Fair play to them.
Are East Belfast a "Belfast Club"?
Reminds me of the "are Muff a Derry city club?" Debate on here last year for the Ulster junior final

Sun, 12 Oct, West Kerry V Dingle
The carryduff parish is basically split in 2, the upper part is the town of Carryduff while the lower part is part of Belfast. The club is a Down club but also enters a team in the Antrim Div2 hurling. As far as go games they play in Down but if they have too many players they do , at times, put teams into Antrim. I would consider us a Belfast club.
David Clifford's East Kerry beaten 1-21 to 0-09 by Rathmore in the County Championship Quarter-Final.
East Kerry were odds on favourites for the title.
More likely for a club side to go on and win it now and take Dr Crokes place in the Munster Club.

You'd wonder how any fan of clubs in these counties could get excited about this. Same as Scotstown. Last time they weren't in a county final was 2012. Can't think of the last time a team in Tyrone would've made 4 finals in a row nevermind winning them all and still on the search for a back to back winner since 2004/2005
Newcestown-Nemo going to extra time. Newcestown had one incredible and one half chance to win it in injury time.

To Castlehaven back? They won the last two and won Munster two years ago ffs.
Newcestown a far better and more heartwarming story. Tiny little dual club that punch way above their weight.

The GAA needs a strong Cork and strong Cork City clubs in my opinion.

This post reminds me of Colm O'Rourkes remark around 15 years ago about the GAA needing a strong Dublin and once they started to dominate he called for Dublin to be split in two or three ;D
Best to leave Cork footballers where they are, bad enough with the hype surrounding their hurlers.
A strange thing about Cork senior football is the number of VERY old lads who are still massively important for their clubs.
Donnchadh O'Connor, Daniel Goulding, Fiachra Lynch, Paul Kerrigan all with big roles the last few weeks. Tadhg Twomey today playing CHF for Newcestown today is 42. My old mate JP Murphy playing for Ballincollig is 36, and I don't think he's even the oldest lad on the team.

Magherafelt/ Newbridge is a coin toss. Newbridge are the reigning Derry champions with a very young team.
Cullyhanna and Madden certainly have the quality to do well in Ulster and Madden have that size thats typically suited to winter football. Cullyhanna do have that experience of the intermediate run which would probably stand to them although it's a step up.
Given they're both first time winners it's more likely they go on the piss for 2 weeks though and let Ulster go to feck.

That in a nutshell, Harps did it a few years ago, can understand the joys of a first county title or after a long wait but would a club not want to try and see where they are at in Ulster.

They would have some new young lads as well as young lads who won in 2023 with more experience.
They where narrowly beaten in Ulster semi final that year.
Beaten by 1 point in last years county final to the all ireland runners up!
They have been to 5 Tyrone finals in 7 years winning 4 if they do the business in a couple of weeks.
They probably wont over celebrate as county title is not new territory.
They have the Jody Gormley Factor driving them this year. I just think they have a very good chance.
Trillick are one of the top 10 teams in the province, they've just taken out the top dog, they'll fancy their chances against anyone, invariably other clubs will also think the same and it'll come down to fine margins on the day, the Jody Gormley factor can't be understated, and also watching Errigal go all the way to Croke last year, for their sustained excellence in Tyrone I think Trillick will see 2025 as now or never in terms of Ulster and Croke (should they come through Tyrone)
Will we just cancel the Ulster championship and hand Trillick the trophy?

London occasionally punch but ultimately always lose
Would they be as well entering the intermediate championship, as the London intermediate winners have been known to land in the AI-junior (now paired with Ulster, no wins there either)
That NLS team lost by 6 to the Stephenites having missed a penalty and another solid goal opportunity. They were right there with them without ever threatening to win the thing. Ballina then went on to extra time with eventual AI semifinalists Coolera-Strandhill.
There'll always be peaks and troughs but I'd say that NLS team would give a hockeying to most intermediate teams in Mayo. There'll always be freak years where a team like Crossmolina are down in intermediate and dish out a few scalpings on their way back up.
London senior winners into Connacht and AI Intermediate worth a go in my view

What's the background to Jordan Morris playing for Kingscourt Stars? His home club in Meath is Nobber (Junior this year).
Fall out or just wanting to play a higher standard but not within Meath? Kingscourt is only 10 minutes away so handy enough spin.
I know he has family ties but that Jack McCarron transfer to Scotstown would fair sicken you this time of year as well, they were winning most years before that happened, if they don't win Ulster this year with most the big hitters gone it will never happen

Not until March as far as I know.
His football career could end after the court date either way - Proven Innocent Jarleth Burns intervenes with the Cullyhanna telling them no longer give him membership will they listen to him?

What do you think like ffs.
If he was going to intervene then you'd expect he'd have done so already. I suspect he's learned his lesson.
Quote from: imtommygunn on October 14, 2025, 06:55:27 PMIf he was going to intervene then you'd expect he'd have done so already. I suspect he's learned his lesson.
He said on late late there was ongoing legal case but that when the time came he would give his opinion/judgement. Not sure of the wordng. I suppose it all comes down to whether hes a man of his word and will Cullyhanna respect the president of the GAA the way Naas did.
You sound like you are not too sure on lots of things there.
From what I recall there was a huge social media campaign from with in Naas against the appointment, irrespective of Burns intervention that appointment wouldn't have happened, but you seem to not worry about facts.

Fall out or just wanting to play a higher standard but not within Meath? Kingscourt is only 10 minutes away so handy enough spin.
I know he has family ties but that Jack McCarron transfer to Scotstown would fair sicken you this time of year as well, they were winning most years before that happened, if they don't win Ulster this year with most the big hitters gone it will never happen
Went to school in Kingscourt and lives in Kingscourt. His father won a championship with them too. Think his grandfather brought him to Nobber to play.

Dublin senior final on TG4 at the moment
(https://i.ibb.co/gLt1hgKq/G3h8hu-RWQAAUlx-E.jpg) (https://ibb.co/Pv1p0CHX)
Ballyboden 0-6 Na Fianna 0-7 26 mins played.. 0-7 each at half time.
I didn't know Cein D'Arcy played for Ballyboden. They were fierce unlucky to lose the full back after about 90 seconds.
Poor enough fare, even accounting for the conditions.
Galway man Darcy with a goal that should be it 1-14 to 0-10 Ballyboden lead.
Clare man Keelan Sexton with a late goal for Na Fianna. FT Ballyboden 1-16 Na Fianna 1-12
Two imports with the goals and Antrim's Peter Healy with what I think was the only 2-pointer!

Jarlath made a subtle distinction between managers and players, otherwise the likes of Hayes in Limerick would be gone.
I know little about Nugent, but it is hard to see how his case can be proved beyond reasonable doubt.

I am through the menapause at this stage so the haze is lifting, my point is Naas were never going to appoint because of the social media backlash. Why Burns intervened is a question for him and him alone. Nugent, and I repeat if found guilty should have the book threw at him, but as far as I am aware he hasn't been found guilty of anything but I suspect as Burns and Nugent are from Armagh your outrage is enhanced. As for the Derry brigade what was Gallagher charged with, nothing, but it was Derry who first kicked him out based on being charged with nothing, so hopefully all your letters of complaint and outrage found their way to the Derry Counry Board.
Naas are going for 5 in a row in Kildare today and I do think they could crack Leinster.
Not sure if that Ballyboden team has as much as the Crokes ones far stopped them previously.
The hope is Athy put it ip to them, but don't see it.
One team winning all the time can't good for the overall scene.
Quote from: Rossfan on October 19, 2025, 10:48:04 AMOne team winning all the time can't good for the overall scene.
I wouldn't imagine so but you'd think it's bound to help in provincials. In Tyrone we have a poor enough track record in Ulster but it's hard to build any momentum in championship when you could be knocked out at any stage
Not necessarily. In their ten years of relatively uninterrupted Antrim dominance, Cargin won one match in Ulster.
Actually, technically they drew it after extra time and went through on penalties.
In fairness without Shane Walsh transfer Naas would have at least 1 provincial.
Ah they have so much depth that it's so hard to beat them.
Also in Kildare other big towns dont always compete, so can't argue them getting their house in order.
Number 2 for Athy looking good so far but Naas will win comfortably I'd say

Agreed. Naas haven't been impressive at all though apart from the first 10 minutes or so
Cawley tried his best to help Naas out at the end there.
Great result for Athy. Leinster is gonna be wide open you'd think.
Naas probably should have brought someone in to help their management team.

You where the one who was worried about facts. The highlighted piece of your post is not a fact you could not know what Naas where going to do - you are giving your opinion and making it look like its a fact.
IN relation to Cullyhanna potentially entering the All Ireland series I believe this puts Jarleth Burns and the GAA in the spotlight. He has stated once the case is concluded they will give an opinion on it and this was directly linked to the line of questioning about his intervention on RG.
So the question is this when Nugent case is done does he say:
AN has been found guilty and convicted and I would like his membership revoked
or
AN has been found guilty and convicted he will serve his sentence and has showed remorse and when he is able to rejoin the GAA we welcome him back
or
AN has been found not guilty and is able to continue his GAA sporting habits (Therefore concluding that he was the victim of false allegations by the female in question)
or
AN has been found not guilty however I will be writing a private letter to CCCC to recommend that AN has his membership withdrawn as we stand with all women in a society where womens rights need to be respected and that women should feel safe in any environment.
My point is this - and I would say alot of others are waiting with bated breath to see how Jarleth reacts to the case that he has promised. And also if I was Jarleth I would be praying for a Madden win to take some of the spotlight of this. Watch out for the ref decisions in this one muckers!
They were never going to appoint, as for the rest you are basically saying lets wait and see after due process has been followed, a sensible enough conclusion.

If a black American Football coach was goaded with "go back to the hood" after an opposition team won a trophy I would say it would gather a lot of negative publicity.
After just winning a trophy it's a rather classless way to celebrate IMO. Only the players will really know what they meant but its not a great look for the club.

No it's not, and I get your point, but McMahon never conducted himself with much class on the field and can hardly complain if he has to reap what he sows. Nearly caused a major ruckus at ht in the 2020 final through goading the Mayo players in the tunnel.

Moycullen looking to avoid 3 final defeats in a row since their last win in 2022 and Salthill looking for their first senior title since 2012.
John Maher's absence through injury will be a huge loss for Salthill and coupled with Peter Cooke's return for Moycullen will see them start as favourites this weekend.

Brids favourites but I'd make it 50/50.
€25 for a single game, no pensioner reduction, teams from far south, not great support for either...small enough crowd predicted.
As both teams are regular finalists they dont bring much of a big day bandwagon.
Are you a Carrick on shannon man so?
That's in fkn Laythrum🤮.
But I'm a lot closer to it than to Pearse or Brids.

Haha are Brigids actually athlone town or does another club cover that area?
Does ballinasloe spill over into rossie?
Nah it's just me and my view of the deep South ;D

Some achievement for Ballina to win 3 in a row in Mayo. Haven't made much of a dent in Connacht or All Ireland so probably wouldn't get the national recognition but Mayo championship seems rightly competitive every year based on bookmakers odds, nipping 3 in a row in a championship 5 or 6 clubs fancy winning is some going

Probably one the most competitive championships in the country.
Quality lacking in recent years though.
Connacht wide open this year so they could be as good as any.
Or could it be a first provincial title for fermanagh ironically in Connacht.
Erne Gaels win the replay in Fermanagh . Back 2 back titles for them .
Declan Bonner, their manager , was in America.

Derrygonnelly must still be strong even without the Jones' brothers.
All gone wrong for Austin Stacks here. Thought they'd win but have looked rubbish this second half

Very good Ros final going to a replay next Saturday. Brigids will be the happier team to get the replay although it would have been harsh if the Pearses free won it in the 6th minute of injury time. A veteran from St. Brigids All-Ireland win in 2013, Senan Kilbride, come on at the end. Interesting spectator was Jason Sherlock, with speculation he'll be part of Roscommon selectors for 2026.
Those Sherlock rumours must be true alright.
Great game today and draw possibly fairest result but PP feckd up a few chances near the end.
Probably half the 2026 County panel involved today.
That "young" Kilbride lad will hardly make it though.

St Brigids relieved Pearses of their Ros SFC title in today's replay 1-16 to 1-12.
Conor Carroll with 3 vital saves. 5 or 6 unanswered points by Brids before ht. Pearses not taking advantage of a Conor Hand black card (36 -46 mins) as they lost that period 0-1 to 0-2.
Brids play winners Mayo/London so that will be Ballina.
Watching Athy v Baltinglass on TG4 there. How is that a goal, guy palmed it in and he standing beside the post. Most obvious square ball.!
Holy god please someone take that duck whistle or whatever it is away from that kid at the Athy game. How on earth can the parents sit beside that noise and not be embarrassed

Was it from a free? If not, you can enter the square as soon as the ball is passed.
He's parked in the square long before any ball passed.
Just me or what that a ridiculous game to pick as a live one? Standard was truly dismal :-X

Club football best argument in favour of new rules.
Will be interesting to see analysis when it's wrapped up.
Rematched a Kilcoo game during week from years ago and half time the score was something like 3-2. Simply not possible now.
North London Shamrocks with a competitive 1st half display against the Mayo champions and led by a point but Ballina got the last three points of the half to lead 1-6 to 0-7 at the break.
Level game 40 minutes played 1-7 to 0-10
Strong finish by Ballina to win 1-15 to 0-10

You didn't complain about the state of the game under the old rules? Same goes for those years where people were giving out about the state of the game and still continued to watch it, no? Christ, Spillane and them boys were complaining about the game for 20+ years but still watched it. What's the difference now?
His point was simple enough, he watched a few games and didn't like them.. more or less saying that there's no difference with the new rules.. I just said find something else to watch! No one is forcing him to watch it.
Spillane is a tool, has always looked to be relevant so anything he says I'd take with a pinch of salt
I've stated my own opinions on the new rules countless times, against them at the start and started to embrace them as we've moved on.

And I'm the same. Was against them at the start but started to embrace them. Doesn't mean I go around telling people to watch a different sport because they have a different opinion. Like I said, I can't recall telling people that complained about the old rules to go and watch a different sport just because they have a different opinion.

Meath senior champions Summerhill very poor in that 2nd half as outscored 0-10 to 0-1 by Athy.
Eoghan Frayne was a loss for Sumemrhill but they showed very little fire in the second half.
Athy will be hard to stop in Leinster now.
Athy look a decent outfit and should have won by more. Summerhill very poor regardless of who they were missing and did not seem overly interested.
Nobody paying any attention to the Leinster junior?

We saw a 1-13 or 14 to 3-1 scoreline early in the 2nd half in the Hyde today.
A very one sided game where the margin could/should have been nearer 17 than 7.
Can Brids shore up their square in 2 weeks?
Theyd better or end of the road beckons.
Hard luck Croans losing on penalties.

St Brigid's wrapped that game up in tbe first half. Very dominant display of pacey football against a much more lethargic looking Stephenites. However they missed a sight of chances and will need to address that. Of the 3 goals conceded, 2 were very sloppy. Would love to see that Evan Regan one again. Either a fantastic overhead kick or hand passed over his head. That said, Ballina gifted the evergreen Senan Kilbride a goal too with a terrible clearance and he struck it like a bullet past the equally evergreen David Clark.
How are the provincial final venues decided? The last time a Galway winner played a Roscommon winner (2023) the game was played in the Hyde. Once again this year, Brigids v Moycullen will be played in the Hyde.

Home and away agreement. Last Galway v Roscommon winner match up was last year Corofin v Pearses in Tuam.

Second most, with 10. Cork have 11. Although it's been 22 years since a Cork club has won it.

In spite of the surprisingly poor opposition, Brigids look a pacey, slick and impressive outfit who move the ball well and are adept at creating scoring chances. Need to tighten up on finishing too as they left at least another 8 easy points after them, but must be strong favourites at home in the final and won't be welcome opposition to any other club beyond the province either.

It is very interesting how certain clubs become "All Ireland Specialists".
Would make for a good in depth article, probably a book, on the dynamics they may have in common.
Two of Dublin's 10 are UCD.
Interesting result in the Leinster intermediate on Saturday. Tubberclair 2-27, St. Martin's 0-01. Martin's completely chucking it with their hurling commitments?

Have you watched any of Ballyboden this year? Best they have been I think ever in a Dublin championship. Performances throughout championship were top class and hugely deserving winners. The weather and heavy pitches will be a leveller and give Tullamore a chance. Still expect Ballyboden to win by 3/4 points. Athy look impressive. However, Meath champions were like every other Meath representative of the last 10-15 years-poor. For a traditional footballing county with the pedigree it has, how is club football there so bad. It's nearly getting to the point where the Meath county championships should be entered into the Leinster Intermediate Club championship to give them a chance. On another note-Barcelona Gaels- a fairytale story that has gone a bit under the radar.

Ask the players and managers that are involved where they'd like to play? The morgue or Portlaois..

They lifted the AI in Croker. Their Ulster title was presumably lifted in Ulster. We're talking provincial club finals.
I've no issue with it as I think it's been a good occasion the last few years. Admittedly could be a bit of a pain in the hole for a Kilkenny-Wexford club final.
Half time in the Intermediate Connacht final.
Strokestown (Roscommon) 2-9 Kilmeena (Mayo) 0-8
Result Strokestown 4-11 Kilmeena 0-14
Great win for the Strokestown lads 4-11 to 0-14.
Unfortunately they play the Ulster Champions next so may as well give a walkover to those superior beings.
Quare day 4 2 matches in Omagh, hear the wind howling on TG4
Its awful conditions for a match
This going to be a classic, Not! Who got the wind?
Beggan up to take a 25m free?

Would someone ever wipe that feckin camera

That's what I can't understand. Surely it should have been in Armagh. The conditions and that pitch ruining what should have been a good game.
Is there no one in Tyrone that can drain a pitch?
Atrocious game this... Conditions obviously a major factor.
TG4 cameras a frustrating watch
It's too hard to work out whats going on from the camera behind the posts, and the middle camera always got rain on it.
Surely county grounds should have some sort of cover for tv cameras?
7 points might win this game, goal and 2 pointer at the end a bit of a gift to Scotstown.

Away to Armagh nxt week.
Do they play just the second half next week or what?
Has this ever happened before in recent memory?
Healy Park should be closed in the winter than scheduling matches on that pitch.

Ulster Council doubling down on the decision to play the 2 games in Omagh today.
also said it would be a new game next time they play.
Very harsh on Scotstown to play that from scratch, with them 4 pts up. A huge f*ck up from the people in charge, to schedule a double header here,and also absolutely no reason they couldn't have made that decision before the game, everyone could see the conditions were a joke already

The only option is to replay the whole thing, harsh as that may seem.
Should they toss again for where they'd only play one half and let scotstown have the wind again?
O'Toole was suspended today for Scotstown, I assume that will also apply for the next game, if it's as if today's game never happened

Was thinking friday night quickest way to do it without too much grumbling.
Word is Newbridge and manager promoted the ref to abandon it. Went to ref at half time
Could Tyrone GAA not just now do a drainage job on the pitch?
Use Dungannon for the league games.
Plus how many times have I watched (on tv) matches in Omagh and the camera needs to be cleaned every 5 secs. WTF.

Try putting someone who can answer questions in front of the camera next time.
It's a shitshow and it's very harsh on Scotstown
You'd have to be a very needy sort to expect a man to be able to those questions within that timeframe.
Agreed.
The need for instant answers really irks. Everything needs to be now

Yeah. It is in a bog. But Newry is half in the sea and the other half in the canal.
Is the Healy Park pitch not above the level of the Killybrack road?
I'm not seeing a fundamental reason why it can't be drained.
I think the Tyrone board need to let Prunty have a look at it.
Armagh is a much more central venue for this game than Newry anyway, Newbridge to Newry is a right trek.
It would be the pinnacle of Prunty's career. Draining the pitch that couldn't be drained.

The question should be why the game wasn't in Armagh in the first place ?
Erne Gaels had a 75 mile drive to Armagh. Kilcoo had a 35 mile drive
Made much more sense to put the Kilcoo and Erne Gaels game in Clones as it's basically half way and play the Newbridge v Scotstown game in Armagh .
Omagh got rid of Prunty as far as I know years ago.
Some other crowd does it now.
They also have a lovely media stand.
Pity some of that money wasn't put into the pitch

Heard it would cost £50k+ to put seats in the main stand in Dungannon. Would be a good investment imo.

There is quite a fundamental reason why Omagh cant be drained and its the lack of an outfall for the drainage.
There was a proposed project to rectify the issue that had approval to proceed but Covid intervened and the project was mothballed. It included a full reconstruction of the pitch and the construction of a pumping station to deal with the storm outfall.
The pitch in Omagh has actually been fairly decent over the last couple of years but the scheduling of a double header was questionable in late November. McQuillan made the correct call to abandon but the wrong call to start the game. Both goal mouths were in poor shape but a fairly large square of approx 30m x 30m at the town end of the pitch was unplayable, it was fairly obvious in the first half that Newbridge were trying to avoid using it.
Regarding the call to use Dungannon, it is closed and was probably overused this year for games.

He didn't even check the pitch before the game. Scotstown manager asked him this after the game and be replied "No"
That's their issue with it. He decided to start the game without checking then decided at half time ..

I'm not 100% saying you're wrong about the drainage and it's probably info someone has told you but I doubt very much that's the issue. Omagh pitch is high up the Gortin road and all the storm water runs down the Gortin Road and turns into Strathroy Road where it's discharged into a Watercourse down that road so gravity is not the problem and will not need pumped. From an Engineering perspective and I've designed quite a few pitches I'd say the problem lies with the old drainage system not being adequate or has not been maintained and is clogged up with silt etc and water is not getting away. From memory that pitch was always heavy and they've had issues with it for years, i'd hazzard a guess and say the top soil is very dense and too much clay which slows the percolation of the water to get to the drainage below. The pitch probably needs relaid with better cambers and crossfalls with an upgrade to the topsoil too, for heavy pitches you can introudce sand slits/gravel bands and also a grit layer under the topsoil depending on how much money you have to spend.

From what I hear, O'Toole will be available for Scotstown in the rescheduled game - he's deemed as having served his suspension at the weekend. So that will be a boost to Scotstown, and it also gives McCarthy another week to regain fitness, though I'd still doubt he'll start this weekend

The fact that it's an ongoing issue for years and years with the TG4 coverage says it all.
As a comparison I think games on Clubber don't seem to be affected half as much by rain on the cameras.
I don't know is the placement of their cameras or are they using different equipment and maybe I've just been very lucky with the games I've watched on Clubber but I'm struggling to think of any game I've watched that has been as badly affected with rain as the TG4 coverage seems to be.

In soccer if a game is abandoned at any time, a suspension is deemed not served, but if you pick up a red card during the (abandoned) game, that still counts, the player would at least be out for the next match.
Gotta love the GAA for doing things their contrary way.

There is no rule as such but I believe it`s like a legal case where Scotstown will request a hearing and use precedent set by the GAA in 2012 when Eamonn Fennel missed league game against Mayo but then was abandoned due to fog. He was clear to play the following match rule by the GAA. James McCarthy was actually sent off in the abandoned game and had to serve a suspension the following game so Scotstown will have a very strong case for O`Toole.
I see the guys on Off the Ball reckon Brian Hayes possibly the best dual star in the county at the moment. Surely Brendan Rodgers and Shane McGuigan would have to be up there, All Stars in football at county level and made the All Ireland Club Hurling All Stars team last year.

Schkite had already said O'Toole will play if selected, that he's served his time in the abandoned match. Seems like the precedent is embedded in the GAA memory bank. I see Newbridge Joe will ref the game again.

Kildare club football in a really good place at the minute. Red hot favourites to win the intermediate and junior and have a decent shot at the senior.
Grangenolvin utterly annihilated us today. Super team.
Thats a square ball, lad was waiting in the square when the shot for a point fell short!
Anyone explain why that wasn't a free to Moycullen? Took the legs from under the man
Half time in the Connnacht Senior final. Brigids 0-8 Moycullen 1-5. Moycullen the better side for the opening 15 Brigids the better team in the last 15.

A number of bizarre decisions against Moycullen. Two pointer there at the end a huge score that came from a phantom free the other end and him playing well over the stoppage time
Peter Cooke should have kept onto possession instead of kicking ball long.

If from play, he can be in the square as soon the ball is kicked. If from a free, he can enter the square as soon it crosses over.
5 mins left Level game in Dr Hyde Park
Great composure from Brigids for goal. Moycullen kicking it away. A couple more wild shots from Cooke. Conneely only top forward for Moycullen.
Brigids have it now.
Some battle that was FT St Brigids 1-16 Moycullen 1-14. Congratulations Brigids hard luck Moycullen
Well done to Brigids. Conor Hand MOTM.
Newbridge and scotstown game is in the tg4 player. How do I access it in England?
Cunningham is some pup.
Great game of Connacht football.
Thanks Brids, Maigh Cuillinn and FRC.
Some game, could have gone either way. Two good teams, up and down the field al day, could have been Moycullen with a few small breaks either way.
Titanic struggle, two very strong club teams. Brigids struggled with the physical size of Moycullen, big team who owned midfield and looked in a strong position when 3 points up midway through second half. But the Kiltoom men were always able to find scores from play and brilliant goal by Fallon was the winning of it in the end.
Lovely words from Brigids captain to remember Don Connellan.

He was exceptional.
Moycullen for some reason didn't seem to have anybody specifically man marking him. Every time he got possession he was in an acre of space. Bizarre

there is no game restricted to the Free State, it might be restricted to Ireland.
That said, I can't see where it is on the App or website, and I am presently in Dublin.
The GAA sometimes manage to restrict games on TG4 which are not shown any other way, which is complete bollix
That said, at present I cannot see it on the app or on the website, and I am in Dublin.
It's there on the app alright but it's not playing for me.

I thought throw in was 3pm, not 4pm. Given it's on the player rather than TV, why so late on a Sunday on the last day of November?!
All ok now.
Great start the game. Unreal goal for Scotstown. E2E in about 5 seconds.

Great Newbridge goal now. Game very much on.
Great game
Scotstown have serious speed going forward
Scotstown look unbelievable. Think they deserve to be further ahead here
Newbridge asking for trouble with those short kick outs
The difference in both sides kickouts is staggering.
Did the ref give a back Mark?
Quote from: Milltown Row2 on November 30, 2025, 04:31:28 PMDid the ref give a back Mark?
Just let it go on ahead, no? He didn't call for a mark did he? Or maybe you don't have to do that as a defender either
how far out was beggan for that 2 pointer
Newbridge seem to have to work so hard to create any sort of scoring chances, and they're not even taking them all. Meanwhile Scotstown look like they can switch it from one end of the pitch to the other in 5 seconds and create a scoring opportunity. Big difference in power and athleticism on show
That was outrageous by Beggan just now, following on from McCarville. Newbridge may get their act together start of the 2nd half, or this will get ugly

There is no back mark now!
Was a quality score by Beggan
Men against boys here..
Kilcoo will have their work cut out against Scotstown but it'll be a different game entirely
Scotstown had whatever wind there is and were playing into the shooting goals, so all isn't lost for Newbridge at ht, huge ask tho
Scotstown will give Kilcoo their fill of it. Nice to have a proper venue, credit to Armagh GAA.
Quote from: Milltown Row2 on November 30, 2025, 04:34:42 PMThere is no back mark now!
Never realised this was the case. Disgrace tbh and should be addressed. Idea that a forward catching that ball gets unlimited advantage whereas a defender gets absolutely nothing is mental.
Quote from: oakleaflad on November 30, 2025, 04:26:17 PMThe difference in both sides kickouts is staggering.
I'd disagree, we'll see how Newbridge fair now with the wind
They've a chance
Anyones TG4 audio gone out? See theres a fair bit of rain
Scotstown have weathered the storm
Quote from: oakleaflad on November 30, 2025, 04:26:17 PMThe difference in both sides kickouts is staggering.
Night and day. Beggan putting on an exhibition.
Thought that was fairly naive defending from Newbridge there in the build up to that goal, pushing so many men up so that they were completely exposed when Scotstown got the ball over the top, and a handy fisted goal was on for them. Undid so much of the good work they did in the first 10 minutes, and halted momentum. Another good 2 pointer there, but I find it hard to see them get in front now, an experienced outfit like Scotstown should be able to see this out

That one from earlier in the 2nd half was exceptional, where he was kicking against the wind and perfectly hit McCarville near the sideline who was running across at an angle
Jaysus game on, Scotstown defence sleeping thinking the game was done. Tight end now
Pure dirt.. the losing team at all the time.. put the effort into the game and there's no need for it
Interesting last few minutes
Newbridge will be regretting a lot of them wides now!

Yeah have thought that myself, always seem to leave a bit extra in after tackles etc. Mind you McCarron is always mouthing himself
Scotstown took the foot off the gas a bit too early, and credit to Newbridge, they've never gave up
What a comeback
scotstown blew it. Some bad decisions near the end
Ah, great roll to get that last score
Scotstown will be kicking themselves
(although I thought it was a clear foul on the scotstown man on their final attack)
Scotstown ran into trouble twice in injury time there when no need to. Only themselves to blame.
Clear foul on Scotstown at the end but Newbridge Joe at it again
Scotstown will be wondering how on earth they didn't win that lol
They did the hard work by winning a couple of massive kickouts near the end, all they needed was to keep possession or even land another score, but they got turned over both times
Quote from: gallsman on November 30, 2025, 05:21:29 PM(although I thought it was a clear foul on the scotstown man on their final attack)
Thought the same. Unwritten rule is the defending team get away with that in injury time.

Same as Newbridge in the 1st half, 2nd half mirrored the first half, it's what happens on a windy day
Some game and fight back by Newbridge

Got away with 2 in that 2nd half
Tell you what, Andre Onana would have saved both Newbridge goals.
Got it on.
Some game.
Ringing me da back home and trying for him to get it.
Some bit of explaining and cursing going on.
Finally the wife shouted, "Send him the link!"
Sorted.
NB need to find a kickout option that isn't kick it to padraig mcgrogan and hope

He just goes and kicks out himself!!
That is you showed!! Lol
Tough stuff in tough conditions, only got in for extra time. Really good given the weather. Wouldn't like to be betting too much either way. Saw bits of the first half earlier, looked like Scotstown could pull away, but Newbridge, fair play, kept finding a way. They'll feel it tomorrow, serous pace in that 1st half of extra time.
What. A. Score. Dunno if Beggan just hoofed that or if it was a pass but it was incredible.
Unreal build up to that score - Beggan saving an awkward rebound off the crossbar, then finds McCarthy who does very well to get it out under pressure to McCarron, who gets a nice score. Majority of keepers I would have said, they just booted it up the field - but I don't doubt Beggan went to pass it to McCarthy. It's the extra couple of moments when he looks up before he kicks it
The refereeing of the tackle has been inconsistent to say the least

2nd Newbridge penalty is about as perfect a GAA penalty as you'll see lol, blasted into the top corner. Don't know a GAA keeper in history that would keep those out
Also interesting to see Beggan step up first for Scotstown, hadn't seen him take one before but there was nothing wrong with that one either
Hard to warm to a penalty shootout to decide a knockout championship game.
great game and makes for a great final. Scotstown have a lot of cleaning up to do but i think they just about deserved it today
What a battle! Fair play to both teams, in those conditions to keep the feet firmly pressed for the guts of 90 mins 👏
Well done Scotstown, hard luck Newbridge.

Carey won the ball in his own box, 7 pulled him down, free out but he threw a dirty dig into the ribs, TG4 showed it at least two or three times in slow mo after it happened. I posted at the time when he done it
Terrific game, even as the conditions worsened.
Feels like the right result, but Newbridge showed for sure they belong.
The last week will have taken an awful lot out of Scotstown. Kilcoo don't need any additional advantage to begin with and will surely be firm favourites again.

That wasn't hard. I hadn't seen it either at the time but will be going back for a look.
Hard luck Newbridge, showed some balls to come back from such a deficit in normal time, but again at the death in extra time too. A penalty shootout is an awful way to decide tight games on like this, but I don't know what the alternative is in a right schedule and with this game already having to be rescheduled.
As much of a lottery as penalties can be, it was always going to be tough for Newbridge to compete here with every Scotstown player involved being county players with huge experience, with most of them even having shootout experience in Croke Park.
Scotstown deserved to come through overall, but they have an awful knack of letting teams back into games when they look in a strong position. They really should have won an Ulster by now, but have faltered at the last hurdle multiple times. Not many tougher challenges than Kilcoo now, but that should refocus them if nothing else, and they'll give any team a game. Should be a great final.
Does the Newbridge 12 Mcateer not be mentioned for the Derry squad? He was excellent any time I've watched them this year.

is tough though.
Had Scotstown as my favourites from the start but they do have a bit of a soft underbelly (at the highest level tbf!), you can just see it when the pressure's on & the doubts creep in, still an awesome team and the Kilcoo game could be a clinker. 1 a piece in their last 2 meetings so they've no reason to fear them, they've added more potency upfront since last year's semi as well.

They have the 3 minors that they have brought through for starters. I think this is as strong has Scotstown have been but as a few others have said they just struggle to close games out. They made loads of bad decisions today that they got away it. Kilcoo wont be as accommodating
Be good to see Scotstown do it they've been knocking on the door as some years now
Not sure why people think Newbridge would fare any better against Kilcoo than Scotstown will. They're still very inexperienced at this level, I reckon Kilcoo would have been way too cute for them
They should win handy enough. I would hope they don't but Scotstown should not have let Newbridge back in it the way they did.

Quote from: Schkite on November 30, 2025, 06:19:04 PMHard luck Newbridge, showed some balls to come back from such a deficit in normal time, but again at the death in extra time too. A penalty shootout is an awful way to decide tight games on like this, but I don't know what the alternative is in a right schedule and with this game already having to be rescheduled.
As much of a lottery as penalties can be, it was always going to be tough for Newbridge to compete here with every Scotstown player involved being county players with huge experience, with most of them even having shootout experience in Croke Park.
Scotstown deserved to come through overall, but they have an awful knack of letting teams back into games when they look in a strong position. They really should have won an Ulster by now, but have faltered at the last hurdle multiple times. Not many tougher challenges than Kilcoo now, but that should refocus them if nothing else, and they'll give any team a game. Should be a great final.
An alternative which would be more in line with the skills of Gaelic Football would be to have 5 kicks each from the 45. One in the middle, then one halfway to the line and one on the line on both sides. Either out of the hand or off the ground.
Wasn't that done originally?
(Maybe embarrassing so few could score??)
Penalty is a FOOTball skill too.

Why the 45 though? You are proposing a solution and excluding over 50% of any given team.
Penalties are part of our game and should be fine to get an outcome.
Only other solution would be free kicks from 21/30 metres out
Quote from: Schkite on November 30, 2025, 07:02:42 PMNot sure why people think Newbridge would fare any better against Kilcoo than Scotstown will. They're still very inexperienced at this level, I reckon Kilcoo would have been way too cute for them
Purely on pace and willingness to run at defenders, it's been refreshing.

Has the throw-in time for the Ulster final been changed?I thought it had an afternoon start and was on TG4. Now I see it has an evening start with no TG4 coverage

I assumed Saturday evening RTE coverage, for the Senior.
I am well behind the news, the game has been deferred for a week, just TG4 were slow to take it off their schedule for this week.
Sat 13th Dec @ 6.15pm
Ulster Club Final
Leinster final Athy v Ballyboden on at 4.30pm on RTE part of a double header in Croke Park.
Bookies and punters right or does anyone think Athy can cause an upset and win?
Ballyboden 1/3
Athy 7/2
Plenty of 1/3's (or bigger prices) been beaten this year..
Athy hopefully settle at headquarters and stay in touch throughout the game
Is that 3 Athy players that went down with head injuries in the first 3 minutes?
Boden should win but will be tight game.
Quote from: Gael85 on December 06, 2025, 04:37:17 PMBoden should win but will be tight game.
Boden to win by 5 at the minimum
Ref has given one advantage but not another one that was handy enough to give
Ref has been shocking. McGarry got away with a blatant drag back.
Massively favouring Ballyboden.
Such a stupid rule that. Just let Athy take the kickout. Why give Boden another chance for breaking the line?
Athy level it up 0-4 each after 18 minutes. Their first score came on 13 minutes
All the speed with Ballyboden!
Goal for Ballyboden very poor goalkeeping.
Half time Ballyboden 1-7 Athy 0-7
Poor goalkeeping.
He at least atoned for the goal with that save..
In fairness thought the player took too many steps

Brilliant save indeed.
Huge result for Ballymacelligot earlier in the junior, not many would have seen that coming
Onana like on that Ballyboden goal by the Athy goalkeeper.

The Athy no 11 has spent more time on the ground than playing football . He was the same against Summerhill and Portarlington.
Athy no 13 and 14 are dangerous when get on ball run at Boden defence.
2nd goal for Ballyboden that should be it. 2-13 to 0-8
Getting hammered now, wind a big difference! Some lad on here said Ballyboden no good. They got speed to burn in attack.
5 at the minimum maybe being generous to Athy. Christ they are poor. Don't think Ballyboden are amazing either

Looks like they're gonna lift 'The No Great Shakes' Cup for 2025
Would st brigids be a decent shout for the ai ?
Would Scotstown have the pace to cope with that Ballyboden outfit?
Kilcoo in their pomp probably would have they slowed a bit?
Brigid's have youth on their side too... Don't think dingle or barrs be fit for them
Ballyboden moved up the gears 2nd half to win comfortably and showed they are very much the team to beat in the All-Ireland series.
Result Ballyboden 2-18 Athy 1-14.
Munster Intermediate final result.
An Ghaeltacht 2-12 Aghabullogue 1-8. Only once in the last ten years did a Kerry club not win that title.

the transfers give them a big lift. 3 starters i think ? Poor first goal to concede but the goalie did redeem himself with a great save near the end of the first. Athy totally lost their way in the 2nd half so its hard to know how good Ballyboden are.
Ample opportunity to take scores but rather camp outside the arc!
Ref should booked Geaney for holding on to your man leg. Then got up acting the hard man.
Half time in the Munster football final. St Finbarrs 0-14 Dingle 1-6.
Steven Sherlock with 0-12 will be back with Cork Seniors in 2026 should be a big addition
Sherlock having a great game
Quote from: Milltown Row2 on Today at 02:03:36 PMSherlock having a great game
Savage first half from him.
Fine striker of the ball
Left peg not bad either
Can he keep it going for second half?

There must be a breeze as the Dingle lads never really tried it..
The intensity from the Barrs is great but will be hard for them to keep going.. I hope they do
Will they try Tom O Sullivan on him? Mightn't have the pace he had
45 mins played St Finbarrs 0-19 Dingle 1-11. Steven Sherlock with 0-16 now
No free for catching a man in the face? Don't think it should matter if intentional or not. And I thought we wanted the game to be faster so why not let Tom Osullivans point stand?

Was minimal and unintentional tbf.
Once the whistle is blown ya can't play on and the second one was ya can't have 16 men on the pitch
Five minutes to play St Finbarrs 0-20 Dingle 1-14
Good defending to prevent a Paul Geaney goal right now.

Not close to a foot block.
Good two pointer for Dingle. 1 point in it heading into added time.
Idiocy from the langers
Two pointer for Dingle wins it. Poor discipline by St Finbarrs to concede that free. St Finbarrs 0-20 Dingle 1-18.
That's bullshit of the highest degree there.
Questionable foul in the first place
Brutal way to lose it
Maguire should never have been caught in possession
But then to be caught on a 50m penalty for a 2 pointer
Should that have been moved up? Dingle man barged into him
Absolute bullshit 50m advancement to gift them that.
Never a foot block, not unless Geaney's leg was 12 foot long.
Cruel way for the Bars to lose.
Couple of terrible decisions there near the end against the Barrs.
He had the ball out giving it back and was barged into. Dingle man screaming for the infringement.
That ref may hang his head in shame, The Cork man was fouled at the end,O'Connor was on top of the man
and he gives the free the other way playing for a draw.
That was daylight robbery.

My arse is me being upset?
Anyways yes there is a distance, the distance being it's enough of a space between the kicker and defender that's deemed dangerous or not endangering the kicker..
There was good distance between them..
I'm not upset
Some finish. Ref was totally right to bring it up. Happened against Tyrone in the league a few times so guessing it doesn't matter that the player is trying his best to give it back since I've seen refs call frees exactly like that all year? Anyway it's a rule that a majority of people wanted apparently. Was never in favour of it myself but rules are rules! Harsh on Sherlock

Not sure about the 50m infringement
Was a foul for sure, he'd been consistent on that in the game..
But the Dingle lad was 'trying it on' and the ref bought it!

What a nonsense way to win and lose a provincial title. The over the top rules added into the game in short space of time has made poor refs more confused than ever.
Ballyboden will take care of that Dingle side next.

Yeah Sherlock was fouled in top corner in the second last play
No free given
Robbery worse than 2011 in Croker against Louth.
Watched that again.
Dingle no 12 with a slight push on Finbarr's man. He was going down anyway , so not sure if there was enough force in the push .
Regardless, No 5 picks up ball to give it back , and Dingle man barges into him , crying to ref for it to be moved up. Which he did
That was absolute robbery.

Naive, no need to lift it, let the man go and get the ball himself.

Because I've seen those frees being given all year by numerous different refs. Couldn't count on 2 hands how many times I've seen frees being given for that. So assume they must be applying it right or else the rule is a balls and the refs don't know what they're at

The free was 50 50 could have went either way.
Barrs player couldn't have done whole pile more to give it back... If he drops it then it's definitely getting brought up.
In the spirit of the game it's totally wrong.
Barrs should have had it won anyways.
How was it not a foul with M O'Connor lying on top of the Cork man.

Sorry don't mean the actual free I mean it being brought up 50m. Have seen a minor player for my club being penalised for throwing the ball back to the opposition player to chest instead of running the 5 metres back be penalised for it. So I'm guessing the ref is in the right for bringing it forward 50m since I've seen it being given so many times

There's always 1 contrarian
Poor by the ref
Quote from: JoG2 on Today at 03:43:44 PMThere's always 1 contrarian

Not a contrarian. Have just seen that decision made numerous times over the course of the season by different refs so assume it was right. Maybe going by the comments here not all the new rules were the best thing since sliced bread? Did try to say when it was first proposed that this rule would be a balls but sure everyone was creaming themselves over the new rules so who cares

He was blowing for those all game, so wasn't a shock.
Think if the ref just breathed a second or two he'd have given just a free from where it was...
It could have still resulted in a score from that play, but to bring it 50m was a tough one.. I think there was two 50m infringements

Also the fact that the ref is about 10m to the left of where he called the foul and brought it up 50m from there. If he did it right the free from the 50m would have been taken far closer to the sideline
