Tyrone v Kildare AIQF official thread!

I was Lower Hogan, section 330, he may have been drunk but was in his 40s, not a teenager. I have never had that language directed at me before. Jaysus I was nearly in tears!

Did anyone hear O'Neill in the post match interview saying he knew he had to go out and perform in order to delay Longball telling the 'Stevy O'Neill Story'

To the rest of this Island (and a certain Mayoman) does this prove just how good wicklow are because
1.Kildare were good enough to beat Tyrone
2. Wicklow were good enough to beat kildare....ish

1. Kildare didn't beat Tyrone
2. In 2008, yes. In 2009, no.

If it wasn't for a shocker of a second half by Marty Duffy Wicklow would have made a game out of it. Our forwards were better(!) but that was absmyal by our back three. I don't know if you saw this but there was a kick out where stafford caught the ball clean, yere no.8 jumped forward, ronaldo-like and got the free no contact. Ah now!

That's terrible, were there no gentlemen around to offer him a lesson in manners?

You should have called the stewards.

It wasn't the boyo who ran onto the field to remonstrate with the ref ?

My thoughts exactly

I am, had the red and white on. Ach I sound like a whinger now. I wasn't in the company of any guys for the match. And no strangers volunteered to defend my honour.

As a football fan I was disgusted at the large section of Kildare (fans?) who cherred Tyrone's wide freekicks. Fair enough to applaud a wide if your defender has put the forward under pressure. But in my book there is not much sportsmanship in applauding a wide free kick. Not even the Dubs would do it.

Jaysus, build a bridge and get over it. Did you miss Seánie Furlong's steps for the first goal and Leighton Glynn's throw for the second??

The 50/50 calls will go with you one day and against you the next. That's football, sure just look at the calls that went against Kildare today. There'll always be another day - Ní hé an té is fearr a thuileann is mó a fhaigheann.

Disgraceful Rois. You should ask the tryone county board which club they allocated that seat to and contact their chairman.

Croke park isnt fit for vermin like that.

I didn't want to moan about what could have been i just want to recognise this isn't the same wicklow side. Micko's built capable of being one of the top three(or even two-luck of the draw) sides in leinster

I would agree that it is not nice to hear but every county seems to have a proportion of these clowns.

In fairness, I'd say a lot of the cheers would be when "questionable" frees are kicked wide - sense of justice being done. Still doesn't excuse it though. Some GAA supporters could learn a lot from the rugby crowd as far as respect for the place kicker is concerned.

DennistheMenace · August 02, 2009, 10:49:14 PM

The jeering of the free-kicks doesn't really annoy me that much tbh, there is always going to be those idiots in the minority and also those who complain about it on an annual basis, especially when they lose funny enough.

tyronegirl · August 02, 2009, 10:50:12 PM

Watchin the highlites on the sunday game and still could hardly watch it

so nerve wrecking

Rois dont let it annoy ya, u get them sort everywhere, last year in the Final I was shoved on the ground and walked over on the hill when the final whistle was blown, the crowd behind us thought the gate had been open ed (which it was NOT)

swear to God thought my lites were out would never go back there again a child got shoved against the gate and had to be pulled up over it from the other side was scary crap
