Geroid Adams to be joined at Clonduff by St John's and Antrim player Patrick Mcbride...

How does a current club and county player have time to manage another club team in a different county?? Baffling!

Let's hope after that today the Dabs playing county rhetoric is finally put to bed.

And in addition to that, hopefully peoples notion of Ryan McEvoy being a top player especially at full back changes.  Never understood this, no good at commanding a square against anyone of similar size. Found out by Murnin, Oneill, Costello and now McCarron & Hughes. Scotstown knew it was a weakness and launched in 4/5 in 2nd half. Nothing about ball gave away at end thats not nice for any player to deal with. Cargin where close to Glen today, scotstown impressed, Trillick defensive strength could take them further. Wide open championship. I apologise to Scotstown I, probably like Kilcoo, was already looking past them

Hard luck to our men today. Wasn't meant to be for us, we didn't play to our usual high standards and made a couple of uncharacteristic errors and mistakes that we'd normally not do or get away with....but will take absolutely nothing away from Scotstown. They were up for it and totally deserving of their win. They are a quality side and although mentioned before by another poster, we were definitely not looking past them as we knew what we were up against. Fair play to them and I'd personally like to see them go on and win it but never know in this competition.

Also congratulations to our neighbours in Liatroim on a good win today, great to see.

I personaly thought Dabs was brilliant today

[GAA Madness]

One big but fair hit on Eugene Brannigan changed that game today in Scotstowns favour, took Brannigan out of the game and showed they were in a game. After that big personalities pulled them to victory, Hughes, Beggan, McCarron and McCarthy. Kilcoo missed Jerome massively

If you think there is better men playing for down than him then you're having a proper laugh, yea maybe not top level county standard but far better than what we have playing at the moment

[Sheedy]

Unlike a lot of others on here I wasn't glad to see kilcoo beat, any team representing Down I hope goes on to win, (hopefully Liatroim can do that).

On the match, I thought Kilcoo didn't play near what they can, Scotstown outmuscled them and got on top, Kilcoo just couldn't change the momentum. Scotstown's county men really stood up when it mattered, the last 2 scores were as good as you'll see.

Thought he had good game as well.

Still a great player even if his club have become obnoxious

[Mourne Red]

With Kilcoo now All Ireland Champions the question is can anyone realistically expect to beat these men or are we set for another decade of dominance from Kilcoo? Personally can't see any team stopping them in Down for the foreseeable and not sure if this is a good or bad thing. It has to be said they have taken the whole approach to club football up to a serious level and I'm not sure many teams have the appetite to compete with it.

They definitely can be beat they've a glaring weakness in defence that if management teams planned properly could expose with good free-takers and the exploitation of the Mark Rule. The full back line doesn't have the legs and sit quite narrow so using the mark to get the ball out wide would allow teams to tip over points providing they've reliable scorers from the dead ball

I remembered today I messaged on here about using the mark to exploit Kilcoo and replies weren't to favourable - just thought I'd give this a bump after Scotstowns score to level

Watch the game lads please. No matter how bad he is everyone just sees him touch the ball twice and their mind thinks he was class - Kicked a good point - was out muscled for the ball time and time again particularly by Darren Hughes and was missing in the last ten minutes when they needed him badly to just grab a ball and get them out - be a leader. I'm not saying he's not a good player but he is not and has never been county standard. Don't get blinded by fact he has medals galore - so did many players in the past but were not county standard. What we have at present is Doherty - I would much prefer him to be honest - not the tallest but some player.

[/quote]didn't think Ceilum Doherty had a great game compared to his high standards, neither did Shealan Johnson. Jerome was a big loss for Kilcoo.

Kilcoo were poor. They sat back after the penalty and invited Scotstown on to them. Deserved to loose. Credit to Scotstown, they looked good and have big game players. They'll take some stopping.
