Ulster Senior football championship 2024

[Norm-Peterson]

Donegal must not be a very Irish nationalist people (as shown in my link) Now you can understand why I would never support an ROI county in football. Maybe they can go play in Connaught.

"Connaught"? What's that?

Didn't turn out so well as his twin brother Drederick.

Apparently we did actually toy with the idea of joining the Connacht championship after the Battle OF Ballybofey in 1973.

Thankfully cooler heads prevailed and we returned to win our second Ulster the following year.

They could still change, this would leave an even number in Ulster and you'd get to see them every few years in NY.

Not sure I'd judge a whole county off one clown with a fake profile.

Tatum wouldn't be a common Donegal name?

[RedHand88]

I wonder did they ever manage to drag McBrearty off the stand, wittering on for a long time.
Cringey stuff from Niblock too chuckling every time McGuinness did a fist pump.

It wouldn't surprise me if Tyrone beat Donegal in 2 weeks. No great shakes.

Also that is a very posh voice of Thomas Kane for a South Derry person.

Didn't look like they needed to be any great shakes to beat Tyrone the first time around to be honest

Well, it did take extra time and there was a bounce of a ball in it at the end, so they kinda did.

"It's easy for me to say after a game that we've won that penalties is not the right decision but unfortunately I've been on the receiving end of a county final defeat in 2020 to Naomh Conaill, and I missed one that day myself,"

"But I think if you can't separate [the teams], especially in a final, an Ulster final or an All-Ireland final - and I know the All-Ireland does go to a replay - there has to be a way that we can fit in a replay.

"The two teams, to be fair, give absolutely everything and you couldn't separate us after 90 minutes. I think both teams would have deserved a replay.

"But it's easy for me to say that. I'm not sitting down with the GAA master fixtures [plan], and trying to fit in weeks here and there. I can understand the headaches that come with that.

"Listen, it was a phenomenal way for us to win it. It's unbelievable being on the winning side of penalties but I can feel for Armagh because I've been on the losing side."

Can you imagine how good this game could have been if they decided to play a decent brand of football? The score taking has been unreal but despite that the enjoyability of the football is pathetic.

I know McGuinness wouldn't give a f**k about that but I really hope the football review group implement some form of strategy to negate this anti football shite.

What would you suggest?

We can't keep messing about with the rules of the game just because we don't like how teams are playing the game. There's been enough of that over the years.  The answer isn't in 13 aside or any other mad cap notion.  It's in new, innovative coaches coming on the scene with a different approach.  And there will be at some point.

100% agree with this. There is constant tinkering with the rules. Get rid of the forward / defensive mark and then leave well alone.

I'd more or less be on board with this.  I'd like to introduce something like in basketball whereby once you cross the opposition 50m you cant go back.  I think that would be easy enough policed by all officials too. I realise something like this is unlikely to ever be introduced though, so just removing the advanced/defensive mark would be grand.
