For what should be a very experienced team Scotstown appeared very naive at times today. Can't see them beating Kilcoo based on that.

I thought Newbridge would have given Kilcoo a serious rattle, Winter football
is tough though.

Lot of young lads there too. All about winning and they are there

Kilcoo mullered them last year. Not sure Scotstown will have anything new for them this time.

EDIT: Sorry, read that as Scotstown

They have the 3 minors that they have brought through for starters. I think this is as strong has Scotstown have been but as a few others have said they just struggle to close games out. They made loads of bad decisions today that they got away it. Kilcoo wont be as accommodating

[quit yo jibbajabba]

Be good to see Scotstown do it they've been knocking on the door as some years now

[Schkite]

Not sure why people think Newbridge would fare any better against Kilcoo than Scotstown will. They're still very inexperienced at this level, I reckon Kilcoo would have been way too cute for them

[imtommygunn]

They should win handy enough. I would hope they don't but Scotstown should not have let Newbridge back in it the way they did.

Write them off, last year was a one off. Serious team that will take some bating!

[Silver Eel]

Hard luck Newbridge, showed some balls to come back from such a deficit in normal time, but again at the death in extra time too. A penalty shootout is an awful way to decide tight games on like this, but I don't know what the alternative is in a right schedule and with this game already having to be rescheduled.

As much of a lottery as penalties can be, it was always going to be tough for Newbridge to compete here with every Scotstown player involved being county players with huge experience, with most of them even having shootout experience in Croke Park.

Scotstown deserved to come through overall, but they have an awful knack of letting teams back into games when they look in a strong position. They really should have won an Ulster by now, but have faltered at the last hurdle multiple times. Not many tougher challenges than Kilcoo now, but that should refocus them if nothing else, and they'll give any team a game. Should be a great final.

An alternative which would be more in line with the skills of Gaelic Football would be to have 5 kicks each from the 45.   One in the middle, then one halfway to the line and one on the line on both sides.   Either out of the hand or off the ground.

Wasn't that done originally?
(Maybe embarrassing so few could score??)
Penalty is a FOOTball skill too.

Why the 45 though? You are proposing a solution and excluding over 50% of any given team.

Penalties are part of our game and should be fine to get an outcome.

Only other solution would be free kicks from 21/30 metres out

Purely on pace and willingness to run at defenders, it's been refreshing.

Has the throw-in time for the Ulster final been changed?I thought it had an afternoon start and was on TG4. Now I see it has an evening start with no TG4 coverage

I assumed Saturday evening RTE coverage, for the Senior.
