It was the one who likes to take his clothes off in hotel pool rooms.

Yes Curran may have acted for the sending off, but the Cross player hit him a thump. you cannot excuse that

the funny thing is, a lot of Roscommon players got substantial settlements from that newspaper over the false items in that story.
of course, nobody ever likes the facts to get in the way of a good story.

Cross had more than enough chances to win it. St Brigids got a little rub of the green but thoroughly deserved their victory. Will make a great final.

Honestly, people who think Cake was trying to get Callagher sent off are completely missing the point. Brigid's were ahead against the All-Ireland champions with a couple minutes to go in an All-Ireland semi-final and Callagher presented him with a fantastic opportunity to force the referee to come all the way up the field, consult with his umpires and make a decision.

I highly doubt if Cake cared one iota at that stage if he got a card or Callagher, the main thing was running down the clock.

Cross just met someone a little cuter than themselves for once. Pigs flew in Mullingar yesterday.

What age is Shane Curran? I didn't think he was still playing with St Brigids until yesterday

Said on radio yesterday that he's 42 in April. A complete header, great to see him playing again, some character!

42. He was the emergency third keeper last year but was mostly involved as a coach rather than a player. Brigid's biggest weakest - with all due respect to the Martins - was their goalkeeping and McStay rightly identified that and asked Cake to come back full-time.

The rest could be history in four weeks time.

I'd agree, he is capable of doing anything. Entertaining to watch. Good keeper aswell.

2-7 to 1-9 for Brigids. Everything went for them today.

Thought Deegan was poor.

Good for Armagh?

Who know's if it will be or not, now is not the time to ponder that, now is the time to let these lads licks their wounds, heal up and in a month start thinking about the county set up.

BTW, Cross are incredible, they are a machine and they will be back, and I for one take great pride in the fact that they are from Armagh............ Having said that the Harps have some tremendous young talent coming up and I am hoping that in the years to come they can knock the snout out of them.

Are you serious? Give them a month off and take them back in when the League is almost over? For some of them like McKeown, Morgan and Hanratty their county career has barely started and this is an opportunity for them to put their credentials on the line. If they require this week off I would give it to them but beyond that they should be involved for the following weekends match.

Great pic of Cake in the Sindo sports section today. I think it would be an understatement to say he was happy at the result.
I'm delighted for him and I hope he is just as happy after the next game.
A great character down the years but he was also a superb goalie and never let his clowning get in the way of his primary duties.

You are right, lets tell them not to worry about the fact they have being going at it for nigh on a year straight and that we dont give a feck about their health, lets throw them right into county play and dont give them a chance to process the Cross loss and the fact that their main goal of the past year has been crushed.

Bate them into the ground shure, after all there is said to be no rest for the wicked and everyone knows Cross are the evil empire.

Not surprised. Predicted this 4 months ago.

Could be really mean and pull out the posts from crossbar and co.

But I won't........
