Well done to Corrifin, that was another fantastic performance from them. They were superior all over the pitch and in truth could have won by more. They are the Dublin of the club championship, just a level above every other team. Do other posters think we could be watching one of the best club sides of all time? Finally hard luck to Crokes, they had a great year but it just didnt happen for them today. No shame in getting beat by Corrifin. Green_Gold (Donegal) - Posts: 1873 - 17/03/2019 21:51:05 2173244 Link
hard to believe that Corofin were so so lucky to get a draw on a miserable foggy day in their county final...looking back the margins are so fine...the team they beat will probably wonder how they would have go on outside the county if they had held on the first day.....the Crokes number 2 had to go for not only kicking he Corofin player in the face, but the intent alone...some angles didnt show the contact on the face but one angle did, and the blood pouring out of the Corofin players nose and mouth said it all...2 poor finals from a neutral point of view...

Corofin are some team, class today again. Well done. Dubsfan28 (Dublin) - Posts: 2509 - 17/03/2019 22:15:09 2173253 Link
Replying To Jack_Goff: "Gweedore the second best team in the country." You would also have to consider Mountbellew Moylough, they drew with Corofin in the Galway final. And I believe they were first time finalists (that particular team, not the club) so they will approach this year's Galway Championship with a bit of confidence. Overall it is most likely that today was Corofin's target from the moment the Galway SFC commenced. MillerX (Meath) - Posts: 1061 - 17/03/2019 22:44:14 2173263 Link
The Corofin lads must love heading to training when they play football like that. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7335 - 17/03/2019 22:50:15 2173265 Link
Corofin are an absolute joy to watch when in full flow. They seemed to take the foot off the pedal in the early part of the second half but Crokes weren't able to punish them. Although the emphasis is on team-play, they have some brilliant individual players. Burke got MOT but it could quite easily have gone to Molloy who is an amazing athlete. neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 17/03/2019 22:56:04 2173270 Link
Corofin would beat alot of county teams the pace in which they play was a joy to watch plus there angles of running there physical trainer must take alot of credit like last year they peaked when it mattered having watched Crokes in the semi final there backs looked poor when ran at with the forwards Corofin has there was only one result Crokes were way off the pace playing like a team that just came together before the game wfkerry (USA) - Posts: 933 - 18/03/2019 00:31:03 2173287 Link

Great to see such good Football ...compared to a lot of the crap we are served up with systems etc. eamonnmac (Cavan) - Posts: 59 - 18/03/2019 03:12:54 2173297 Link
Replying To kiloughter: "True. Maybe the tide is turning as in fairness we kicked passed an awful lot in our last two league games against both our neighbours. 1-17 yesterday not a bad return. Whether or which Brolly and O'Rourke will use some other cover before giving KW any credit. We beat arguably the 2nd best team in the country 3 yrs in a row in the Connacht championship and got zilch credit for it. More shocking than some elements of our system/style" Who is the Corofin manager? Would he be in the running for the Galway job? Kerry15 (Kerry) - Posts: 957 - 18/03/2019 09:51:31 2173332 Link
Replying To Kerry15: "Who is the Corofin manager? Would he be in the running for the Galway job?" Kevin o Brien.. In the running? Possibly, Will he ever get it? No. Belclare (Galway) - Posts: 904 - 18/03/2019 10:33:48 2173340 Link
The only chance you have of beating Corofin is in November/December on a tight county pitch in horrible conditions once they get to Croker it's Harlem Globetrotters stuff they are unbelievable can't get over that display Crokes are a savage team but Corofin on another level. Liam Silke is going to be a big player for Galway this summer he's a class act he was missed last summer clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 18/03/2019 10:57:13 2173345 Link
Replying To Belclare: "Kevin o Brien.. In the running? Possibly, Will he ever get it? No." Because of county board politics and/or because he's not a sheep? Some county boards don't seem to like Corofin coaches, past or present who aren't sheep. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7335 - 18/03/2019 12:06:57 2173365 Link
Replying To Kerry15: "Who is the Corofin manager? Would he be in the running for the Galway job?" Beclare got the there before me. I believe PJ the legend the man in waiting when KW leaves the post. kiloughter (Galway) - Posts: 1946 - 18/03/2019 13:24:29 2173388 Link
Replying To GreenandRed: "Because of county board politics and/or because he's not a sheep? Some county boards don't seem to like Corofin coaches, past or present who aren't sheep." Interesting point. Some local conversation previously pointed to Rochford being a runner for Galway at some point in the future. I note in an interview with him on the indo on Sat when he left Mayo managing another Connacht county was not an option. kiloughter (Galway) - Posts: 1946 - 18/03/2019 13:28:53 2173391 Link

Replying To rhudson: "bloody hell that daithi burke is a freak of nature an all star full back and all Ireland winner in hurling for galway and he puts on a display like that in midfield in football for corofin can you imagine him playing with the galway football team hed prob be one of the best around I can only dream one day he will hes something else" Exceptional player playing on an exceptional team. Should they be split in two for next years club championship? browncows (Meath) - Posts: 2342 - 18/03/2019 16:49:41 2173438 Link
Replying To browncows: "Exceptional player playing on an exceptional team. Should they be split in two for next years club championship?" Ask Belclare there. That'll be one half, I'd imagine. Pope_Benedict (Galway) - Posts: 3410 - 18/03/2019 17:07:09 2173442 Link
Replying To browncows: "Exceptional player playing on an exceptional team. Should they be split in two for next years club championship?" I believe some of the best players on the current team are from Belclare, but Corofin would still give them a serious contest in the county final. :) WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2034 - 18/03/2019 17:16:21 2173447 Link
Replying To kiloughter: "Interesting point. Some local conversation previously pointed to Rochford being a runner for Galway at some point in the future. I note in an interview with him on the indo on Sat when he left Mayo managing another Connacht county was not an option." Besides Stephen Rochford our own county board is a law unto themselves. Kevin McStay ignored for a prearranged appointment. Mickey Moran pushed aside after getting us to the final in his only year in charge. I wonder did they even consider a Rochford and Horan coaching team for 2019? They seem as regressive as coaches and players are progressive.
