All-Ireland Club Football Final - Crossmaglen v Garrycastle

[orangeman]

Well done Cross.

Hats off to them.


There'll never be another team like them.

Fifteen points! Jaysus, club football in Ireland must be very poor.

You've been waiting a while to use that one 

[Stevie Nicks]

after all the rubbish about the standard of club football in the rest of Armagh, do we now assume that the standard of club football in the rest of the country is crap or do we now accept Cross are an exception team? The ogs, dominate and St Pats would have co titles if they weren't from Armagh. Outside of the nab that was crossmaglen's biggest win of the year by far

First half display by Cross was unreal football. Best display of kick passing I've seen from a team in a long time and proved that moving the ball long, accurately and at speed can be successful. None of this slow lateral sideways handpassing movements that is al too often seen at county level.

After half time it was just a case of how much. Jamie Clarke will be the best forward in Ireland within 2-3 years.

A joyous day.  Cross run rampant and Stew makes a reappearance.  All I need is Ohio State tonight.  Wish I could have seen today's match but the Midlands commentary was exciting.

[Scarface]

Haha ard chieftan I totally agree. Heard the garrycastle manager make that statement and thought oh dear that's a mistake...lol....you will regret that statement.....cross upped it big time today...garrycastle were very poor with some poor players on their team making lots of errors which you cannot do against cross. Lots of diving and simulation from both teams ......not good to see...people pretending to be really hurt when there was nothing wrong with them...just to get the other team in trouble.

[Agent Orange]

Well done Cross. You would expect them to add a lot more to their all Ireland tally over the coming years.

Of course its successful, noone ever doubted that,its just the skill levels required to do it are doubted.

Interesting to note they dont pay any heed to the adage 'take your points...', they go for goal if theres a hint of it at all, right the way through the club championship

[Jinxy]

Cross struggle against Dublin teams but outside of that there isn't much else in the country to trouble them.

[Orior]

I was very disappointed by Garycastle today. Their tactics seem to have been to forget the footbal and hit Cross as hard as possible.

Well done Stephen Kernan and your team.

[haranguerer]

Do you think mebbe Cross played for the draw the first day so Stephen would get to lift the trophy as he deserved to? 

[Syferus]

Great performance by Cross but this was after a replay and last year St. Brigids were very close to them. There'll be plenty of teams that'll fancy their chances against Cross and it'll be a very hard campaign if they're going to make it three-in-a-row.

[armaghniac]

There will be plenty of teams that fancy themselves against Cross. Most of them will be wrong. It only takes one, of course.

[Oraisteach]

Syferus, I think it's a very hard campaign when you win any All-Ireland, don't you think?  Cross will have enough to handle in Armagh and Ulster, never mind in the semis and final.

[haranguerer]

Some Garrycastle players weren't even wearing proper socks. In an AI final ffs!

I'd be more worried about getting embarrassed in an AI final...

Theres a reason for it, I'm sure they didnt just forget, be they ankle supports or something
