Very disappointed with Errigal. I thought Cuala would struggle. But they are miles ahead.

Should have been Clonoe out there anyway.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

Should have been Pomeroy by that logic!

Nope.
Leaving aside the 2 All Ireland club titles for UCD ( a joke) then it's Cork top with the Dubs and Galway level.

Thought it would be tighter based on form but Cuala noticeably physically bigger team and have made it count. Also have been able to find acres of spaces in Croker. Errigal were setup so well defensively against Crokes but have struggled today. Good to see Errigal eventually settle down a bit and score some nice points but when your 10 points down after 10 minutes, hard to keep the heads up. Will there be calls for Austin O'Malley to manage Mayo but then again McStay and Rochford have club All-Ireland's too.

Well, as if we didn't know, it looks like Dublin got the most competitive Senior Club Championship.

Quote from: Cunny Funt on January 19, 2025, 04:08:35 PMMassive surprise Cuala have this AI final wrapped up so soon. Would have thought the Tyrone and Ulster champions would be battle harden and Cuala didn't blow any of the Leinster or Sligo champions away

I think more likely the many battles have worked against them, particularly extra time last week, looked very leggy right from the start. What will be more disappointing is that they lost their composure when they made the bad start, nobody stood up to try and keep them in it and get through the rough spell. In no time it was gone from them. Losing Darragh just another blow in a half hour when pretty much nothing went for them. Have to say I have sympathy for them, always sore to lose on the big day but to not turn up at all, that will leave you with massive regrets. Hope they can at least compete in the second half.

U up against a Dublin team in croker, it's a advantage even though they don't play there, more a psychological advantage.

That couldn't surely explain more than 0.05 difference between the sides.

Errigal imploded and modern overcoached sides can't react to this situation. To be fair sides couldn't react much better to these situations in the "olden" days either, but at least they'd likely have gone out flailing.

Just typical that a Tyrone team would end the perfect record for Ulster football teams in All Ireland finals the last 12 months.

None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Cuala will just chip away. Only goals will impact this.
