Down Club Hurling & Football

[GAA Madness]

The Kilcoo Facebook statement and comments are actually ridiculous, they do this to look whiter than white, and to make people think they are innocent, as all evidence points as Clonduff being the guilty party. The comments under the post saying people make this stuff up as nothing good in their lives and jealous, they aren't actually stopping to think  that these verbals possibly did happen and brought serious issues to someone whos life was maybe starting to look a little brighter as time passes, so instead they bring it up on a football field to slate someone and spark a reaction then act like they did nothing. Surely if they that good, winning should be possible without the need for cowardly slating others to get a rise.

Supersub... a sensible post at this point.

As expected the 2 best teams in Down will contest the final. It has the potential to be the best final in years.  Let's hope we are not reviewing the same s ..te in 2 weeks.

[Truth hurts]

A stupid statement by the Kilcoo club, it opens up a load of old wounds. Paul  Faloon is the only man fit to ref this final in the county. Otherwise, give it to Sean Hurson.

After hearing what was allegedly said I've removed my original post on Clonduff! Kilcoo should suspend their own players for a long time and maybe hit the reset button!

Racial abuse vs Crossmaglen
Partner + family sledging vs Glen (watch Glass's interview)
Child abuse sledging vs a particular Down referee
Child abuse sledging vs Clonduff
Deceased family member sledging vs Mayobridge

But poor Kilcoo. Always the victims, it's never their fault

That's not to bad thought it would be worse

Is it a team wide thing or is the bad manners confined to 1 or 2 individuals or a family?

Immensely proud of what our men have achieved. Controlled the game from start to finish and had great composure at the end.Can't wait for the final.

12 finals in a row is some going. Says it all.

Proud of their antics too MM?

Always proud of our men

As a now FORMER supporter of the magpies I find your reply absolutely disgusting MM! This team may be 12 time finalists but as a result of using mental tactics to try and get opponents to react to cause this volatile and toxic environment that any match involving these so called legends are apart off! I know for a FACT these are not rumours. This disgusting 'sledging' is what is bred into the younger magpies and it is VILE!

A team of men who spend more times lying on their backs to try and obtain frees instead of playing the sport the way the greats have in previous years. They are a bunch of men suffering from a serious case of 'wee man syndrome' which you may believe is something worthy to be proud off but I for one do not know too many people who do in fact like MARMITE!

No harm like but it's a bit of an overreaction there to say his reply is absolutely disgusting.

Legends each and everyone of them

Kilcoo have been the standout team in Down for over a decade but their wins are always tarnished.   The level of sledging is vile. I'm sure most club players in Down would agree.  The great teams of Burren and Mayobridge won with a bit of class the same can't be said of Kilcoo.  The true mark of a champion is how they lose and Kilcoo will lose their title at some point, may not be this year but all good things come to an end. The gaa folk of Down just want a good open clean game of football with our 2 best teams..... I'm not very confident that will happen.  Wait for the diving, sledging and off the ball antics.  Any possible method to gain an advantage and make life near impossible for the officials.  Go watch the rugby and see how real men behave.

Kilcoo have been in the last 11 finals and have won 10 of them. Now they are in another final.
This is bad for Down at county level and is hindering progress. The other clubs in Down must do whatever it takes to stop this dominance for the good of the county team.
