Club Championships 2025

[tonto1888]

Very unfair, Dingle are a Div 2 team in Kerry. They should be in the intermediate championship.

Dingle 3 from 4 2-pointers.
Brigid's 2 from 8 2-pointers.
Gavin gives another All-Ireland to Kerry.

What are you on about. The league is completely separate and irrelevant to championship.
It's played without county players which Dingle have several of and obviously Mark O'Connor also.

Mark O'Connor shouldn't be playing in my opinion, he is a professional footballer playing against amateurs, Gaelic football is supposed to be an amateur sport.
Also he is a registered player with another team , are you allowed to play for two teams now ?

I assume the fact it's a different sport comes in to play there. Only of lads registered for local soccer teams also and no issues there

[Rossfan]

He's not a registered player with another GAA team
Lots of players are also registered players with local soccer clubs.
His full day job is his own business.

Good advert for club football in Croke Park absolutely nothing between those two teams today Dingle as they have done all year found a way to win. A truly remarkable year for them when you consider they won a first Kerry title for 70 years. Most of their key players stood out with especially Tom O'Sullivan really showing his class once again.

Brigid's will be left to wonder how they lost a 2nd All-Ireland final in three years that was there to be won. Today too many missed opportunity between goal chance, tap over frees and kicking shots into the keeper hands.  Ruaidhri Fallon,Conor Hand couldn't do anymore for their side two lads in their early 20s so should see plenty more of their talents for Brigids and Roscommon colours in the years ahead.

My main gripe with the game was Geaney not getting a Black card a few mins after the St Brigids one. Good game with a catch for the ages, up there with the Sean Walsh catch all those years ago.

[befair]

Brigids blew it; 2 pts up with seconds to go, all they had to do was hold onto possession. Tom O'Sullivan is some man tho, after 80 mins to have the class and speed and composure to stick over the equalizing points

[Truthsayer]

A few iffy decisions went Dingle's way including bottling that black card but that's hardly their fault I suppose. You take your luck as it comes. 
Such an exciting game. Football has definitely been saved.
As Sean Kelly said when he presented the Sam Maguire to Brian Dooher in 2005, "let there be no begrudgers".

[Armagh18]

I seen the point taken  off the scoreboard, then Geaney kick the free wide. And I  thought wtf is he at??

Then Dingle starting celebrating, and  I thought why are  they celebrating a draw??

I should have  paid more attention in Irish class

Was thinking the exact same!

Last Mikey Geaney point should have been a free out as keeper clearly fouled.

[blanketattack]

Must have been a tough 6 months for Dingle's best midfielder, Barry Dan O'Sullivan. Did his ACL in June, miss out on the All-Ireland for Kerry with two players below him in the pecking order, Marc O'Shea and Sean O'Brien start instead.

Then miss all the club games including Dingle's first County Championship in 70 years and today.

Could Tom O'Sullivan realistically play as a forward.

He's brilliant in scoring positions.

[Muck Savage]

Fantastic game, every lad left everything out there for both teams. Lots complaining about the Ref, he had a poor game but impacted both teams. Brigid's were luck No 13 was not sent off for a high tackle, he was taken off straight away. Dingle could have had a black card. But I do think the Brigids crowd were far more vocal towards the ref, 1st half of ET Brigids player jersey pulled, kicked wide and Ref gives them a free (kicked wide), within a min the exact same thing happened the other end and the screaming about the ref starts (kicked wide also). These are just two bits from the game, but he was bad for both teams.

Fallon's point to level, was brilliant. Mikey Geaney's effort to disposes the Brigids lad going through and go up the other end to score the winning point.

He pretty much plays as a forward at stages in the game anyway when the other team are on the attack he stayed forward at times yesterday. Was it a minor game where his team were 5 points down at the half and he was switched to corner forward? Heard that story somewhere

[LC]

A great game definitely, mind you St. Brigid's got a fortuitous 45 in normal time which they subsequently scored in that once Mark O'Connor made that block in the Dingle square it came of the forward before it went out. 

[Look-Up!]

In defence of the ref and the first black card decision. In real time I thought the Brigid's one was a stone waller. Ref seemed reluctant to give it and only after consulting with the umpires issued it. On replay it wasn't. Defender tapped him on the upper tight and Geaney clearly dives but officials were operating in real time.
Second one fair enough, black all day long. Again ref was reluctant. I will say if he wasn't sure again he should have consulted his assistants as before.
