2008 Ulster Club Championships

[DoYerJob Linesman]

We are definitely up against it next week, but I do believe we have a chance.  Our team is capable of improving.

Was McGuckin no 17? THought he got a yellow the same time McNamee got the line and was yellow carded in the dying seconds.

Obviously, I was at the game, and wondered how you all got the idea Ronan got 2 yellows.  He was number 17, but Michael Bell got booked with McNamee at the time of the sending off.  He was yellow carded towards the end though.

Think TG4 flashed up that he had a yellow when McNamee was put off. They may well have gotten it wrong it seems.

I was in Enniskillen today. I couldn't say that I'm a neutral as I have always had a liking for Ballinderry. Having read through the posts, I wonder what you keyboard armchair freaks are like. Today I saw two wonderful teams play their hearts out for their clubs and their parishes and their families. Althouigh some of the tackling was as tough and hard as you would see anywhere, I never saw anything over the top or dirty. I know that everyone in Brewster Park today went home well satisfied with with the entertainment they had received.

I just can't imagine any Gaelic football supporter sitting watching a game on TV and writing on a computer.

What exactly is your point? A good few of us watched the match then posted about it on here, where's the problem. The vast majority of people stated how much they'd enjoyed the match/

Do you want some sort of prize for making the trip yourself? personally I just wasn't bothered with a lengthy trip and the expense of going to a game I had no emotional attachment to. I enjoyed watching it ont he TV and am perfectly entitled, like everyone else on here, to express my views about the game.

Was thinking the same TAM
Someone must have hit a raw nerve with Seamus!
He is either from Ballinderry or Dromore

[full back]

Cracking game yesterday which was almost fcuked up by the ref.
It was a difficult game to ref with all the niggling & off/after the ball stuff, but he should have nipped this in the bud at the beginning.
Is that the ref from Tyrone that loves making a name for himself? He succeeded today

No. 11 Conway should be ashamed of himself. Was a f**king disgrace & I hope he is vilified the same way that O'Mahoney was. Will be suprised if Mc Entee doesnt get off with the red.

Mickey Mac was coming more & more into the game when he got the line. Anyone know what happened?
Muldoon had an immense second half, was everywhere.
Devlin, although getting pulled & hauled showed very well and had a good game
A lot will depend on Mc Entee getting off with the red on how next weeks game goes

[SidelineKick]

Anyone know why McNamee got 2nd yellow cameras didnt pick anything up so tv viewers not sure what it was for.

Alot of Ballinderry players didnt turn up yesterday which can only be a positive thing for them.

Very disappointed at Darren Conway, what he did was an absolute disgrace and he'd be one of the tough men of that team?? In my opinion if McEntee gets off (which he should) something should be done to Conway for his actions.

All in all not a dirty game and quite enjoyable.  Ballinderry can consider themselves very lucky to still be in the Championship.  Wasn't a great comeback by any means, a jammy goal out of nowhere saved their bacon.  Still, they won't care this morning how they got it just as long as they are still in it.

The McEntees were very good yesterday, and was Donaldson and David McKenna completely cleaned up at midfield.  Don't think they will get as much ball in that part of the field the next day.  Big Enda and Collie Dook were impressive while Crook didnt turn up.  He will have a better game the next day.

Will make for a cracking replay.

What are you saying sideline?

Something similar to yourself FB. No place for that in the game.

[full back]

Sorry, thought you meant something should happen to him on the pitch

[SidelineKick]

Stop you putting words in my mouth 

That would make me as bad as him 

[full back]

You wouldnt dive like that sideline

I dont think Mc Entee even touched him. From the ref's position it was very difficult to see if there was contact. He assumed there had been contact when Conway fell to the ground clutching his face.

[Benny Barnaveld]

Great match, was foundered though!

McNamee was definately targeted by some Ballinderry backs.
They were hammering into him and goading from the first whistle, probable because he is about 5'8" and 9 stone. Any time he pushed them away the Ballinderry man was shouting to the linesman to get his attention. Very very poor form. And I am not from Cross btw!
The second booking was something similar. McNamme is not a dirty player by any stretch.

Ballindery's man getting John Mc sent off was a disgace, there was little to no contact. He was diving all day, running into Bellew then falling down, shamefull.

Thought McKenna was really good, he has been quiet all year but really stepped up yesterday. Hanratty of Murtagh has to start FF next day out.
The 2 McKeowns were excellent too I though.
