All Ireland Club Championships 2024

[ONeill]

Final is a 50/50 game.

Cormac Quinn missing will be a blow. There's no way he is back in time for next week
Ruairi was hobbling badly at the end as well. Could be a nervous week for EC.

Both cramp?

[gallsman]

Canavan's looked like cramp for sure.

[imtommygunn]

Yeah I think they both looked like cramp.

[Gold]

Some game and win for Errigal.

No skin in the game and have a strong dislike of Tyrone

Haven't read back for other views but f**k me that ref gave some of the most bizarre frees against Errigal. There were laughable dives given as free ins and an overcarry on an EC player who was pushed in the back and had possession for 1 step max....literally BIZARRE

Canavans.....f**k ME......GLORIOUS to watch

That boy Oguz either does the ridiculous or the sublime

Crokes had no pattern and were disappointing and lucky not to be beat by 10 (and may have been but for the ref acting bizarrely). Disappointing from them and how could the Gooch at 41 not be fit to play there for at least extra time. His ball winning and composure would've won it

While I appreciate that refs are unpaid volunteers, today's performance was the poorest I've seen from at a club intercounty level in years.  If Errigal had lost that there would've been some angst from them and rightly so. With a more impartial man in the middle EC would have won by pulling up in normal time. They were better by a distance but a litany of poor calls benefitted Crokes. The lack of consistency was most bizarre. Crokes got frees literally for falling over and began to play on it. In the 2nd half Harte was dragged to the floor and no free? As for the over-carrying calls?

Was the gooch even on the panel? I thought he was retired for last 3-4 years

No he wasn't...I'm just saying the Crokes were poor up front, like they'd no Canavan or Gooch-like Star Power.

Appreciate he wasn't on the panel but it must have rankled him watching his clubmates slap shots wide and up in the air (other than the umpteen tap over frees they scored from).

Burns tried his balls off but they'd no Con or Clifford or Canavan type ballers

What did Gavin white do at end, was only half watching. Bloody phones

Would say he should be fine looked to have just pulled up so should be alright for 8 days time. Don't think it was anything to do with his previous injury but could be wrong

End of normal time with about 30 seconds left he booted a free long needlessly. Errigal did a great job pressuring everyone in fairness but there had to be a run for a short and then give it back to him.

[KOTS3]

Am a neutral but having watched that today, serious questions should be raised regarding Brendan Cawley's performance.

It is one of the first times I've thought in the moment that a referee could have a personal interest/ulterior motive for the outcome of a game. It appeared to me he was doing everything in his power to keep crokes in the game for as long as possible, in particular the free before half time when a EC man was pushed in the back after collecting the ball and then blown for over carrying.

As mentioned here EC did well to keep their heads and come out the right side of it, but having reviewed some of the clips from the game and the stats that followed it was very poor.


It's one thing for a ref to be poor to both teams, but that was another level.

[Wildweasel74]

Crawley is not great, he reffed us in a few league games and I just got used to expecting a bad day.

[Easttyrone23]

Even the referees can't stop Ulster teams winning every all Ireland title. Maybe these new rules will make the southern teams more competitive.

Cheers chap

Canavans won't get the same room in the final with Cuala playing 15 back

Plus they have Mick Fitzsimmons to man-mark Darragh Canavan. Errigal Ciaran have no one to mark Con O'Callaghan, who could run riot in Croke Park. Errigal's semi-final win was more impressive but that means very little.
