Derrygonnelly need to go at Kilcoo.. Paying them too much respect, think the occasion has got to them

This is a grim game of football.

Derrygonnelly need to go at Kilcoo.. Paying them too much respect, think the occasion has got to them

The approach seems to be to allow Kilcoo 80% possession and hope they make mistakes, then use your own 20% to kick hanging balls into a full forward  outnumbered 3 to 1.

Maybe it is actually impossible to play against Kilcoo as they're so much better.

But Jesus I can't watch this.

[Mourne Red]

Laverty/Brannigan must have been watching highlights of Cluxtons winning speeches.. Weren't bothered at all about winning Ulster, all about an All-Ireland for them

[Sheedy]

Well done kilcoo, well deserved and very comfortable winners

[snoopdog]

Kilcoo have jad tougher training sessions.

[rosskarr]

No Kilcoo men about the County panel for a while yet.Fair play to them.A very dominant performance.

[urbangael]

Kilcoo are masters of game mgt. Seriously organised and well drilled. Ulster success not enough for them this year. Its the all Ireland they crave. Half the team would walk into the Down team if they were interested.

Congratulations Kilcoo. I remember playing against Kilcoo in the late nineties when they were in Division 3. Someone in there club must take great credit for setting the correct structures in place to set them on the path to be Ulster champions back to back.

[Truth hurts]

Congratulations to the magpies, everyone is Down is proud of you. Kane, Dabs, McEvoy, Johnston x 3 need to come to Down. If they do we will have some team. Derrygonnely was shocking and I think about 5 teams would beat them in our county. We have a strong club set up and the games which got in the club championship show this.

Kilcoo had the measure of Derrygonnelly early on and whilst that patient, cross field toing and froing is hard to watch, it took the sting out of the Fermanagh men. I think their third point was either in the 60th minute or just after it.

Well done the Magpies and on they go to an AI semi-final.

I see a Liatroim McCrickard has a Munster club championship medal in his pocket with the Barrs..

Everyone? Really?

[Truth hurts]

well apart from a few clubs who had battles over the years. There was good support there yesterday and a lot of East Down intermediate and junior clubs there in support.

Well done Kilcoo...very impressive display and never looked in any trouble. Could see the life getting sucked out of Derrygonnelly after 15mins of chasing shadows.

Can't quite wrap my head around their game plan though, what did D'Gonnelly hope to achieve? Did they think they were going to keep Kilcoo out for 60mins or just try hang tight in the game long enough to sneak a goal late on or what? The one team in Ireland I wouldn't be inviting on is Kilcoo. Clueless from the Fermanagh champions, really shocked at how poor a spectacle that was.

Kilcoo to stroll the AI now with no Paul Mannion available for Kilmacud?
