Once again a small county is shafted in the interests of trying to retain major sponsorship deals.a Cavan Roscommon final would not have been seen as attractive to potential sponsors. This is the direction our game is now headed. Terrble. mayotyroneman (Tyrone) - Posts: 1821 - 19/04/2014 21:49:04 1577398 Link 0 |

I thought on the match that we were very poor, no shape and only for a couple of our lads coming good eventually we squeezed through.we were poor against Meath also and being honest we have stumbled into the final, we should of won that game comfortably with the amount of ball we had in the second half and opportunities to put balls over the bar. but we didnt and if Cavan won that game we would have had no one to blame but ourselves. I feel sorry for decent Cavan supporters because they had a great chance of pulling of an upset and it was grabbed from them in the end, but in truth it was because of our teams in ability to put the ball over the bar instead of trying to walk the ball into the net that allowed this.

Great win for our lads against a county 10 times our population and a massive financial power as well, Murtagh showed some guts kicking the winning free which was a clear free btw, fair play to cork even though the were been outplayed the still never gave in and could have robbed it in the end. I sure the dubs will be warm favs for the final but i am sure our lads will try there best. Hard luck Cavan but in fairness the better team won on the day and it would have been far better financially for the gaa if cavan had got to the final as the would have brought far more support then the dubs will bring, Cork might have brought a bus full if the won. ros1 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1211 - 20/04/2014 09:04:30 1577421 Link 0 |

Look lads the team who wins after 60 mins deserves it whether it be because there more economical or whether it be because they have better forwards. I had not seen cavan play before but for a team that won 4 ulster titles I was disappointed with their display. They had ONE forward who could score. Jack Dillon. The rest were clueless once they got within 30 metres. This defensive system is a joke, focusing on the opposition strengths is a weakness. Its grand beating ulster teams with it but once you play outside Ulster the teams like Dublin and Cork are just better than that. Tyrone also won 4 in a row but they also won 2 all-Irelands with playing great football. Their subsequent players went on to win senior titles. McKiernan, McDermott and Clarke are fine footballers but cant see too many of that team winning all-Irelands. I think cavan have had better sides (the one that lost the all-Ireland in 2011). For the good of football I am glad Dublin won. Dublin were poor, a shadow of that great 2012 side that won the all-Ireland 2 years ago but they deserved to win overall. Cork didn't spit the dummy out like cavan did in the end either. Tremendous respect for the fans and their graciousness in defeat. As I said in an earlier post, I hope those Cavan fans who made a fool of themselves are reprimanded. Rosfan (Roscommon) - Posts: 778 - 20/04/2014 10:09:34 1577446 Link 0 |
What one or two supporters did has no place in the game. The same goes for some of the Cavan subs and the Cavan number 8. Former_Poster (Meath) - Posts: 394 - 20/04/2014 10:13:50 1577450 Link 0 |

Im after seeing a few different people have different views on the final free to dublin yesterday. What actually happened, did the ref blow for the free before ivory got his shot away which hit the post and went wide or did he allow advantage and only give the free after the shot was missed? For me if it was that he allow the advantage and brought it back after the wide its a terrible decision and cavan have every right to feel aggrieved (doesnt condone their actions) but if he did blow for the free before the ball was kicked then fair enough and for me a massive over reaction from some cavan people and just looking for someone to blame rather than looking at their own failings tipp11 (Tipperary) - Posts: 353 - 20/04/2014 10:50:20 1577475 Link 0 |
Maybe I don't understand the rule 100% and if so feel free to correct me but after the referee played advantage at the end and the dublin player took the shot, was that not the advantage over? Playing advantage does not mean scoring a point, it surely means just getting a chance to take on the shot. The fact that he missed should have meant that there was no reason to come back for a free. anon1234 (Kerry) - Posts: 19 - 20/04/2014 10:51:43 1577477 Link 0 |

Tipp11 and anon; the rule is if your being fouled and get your shot off and it goes wide the ref can bring it back to where your foul originally, stupid rule once he gets his shot off that should be the end of the advantage but not in the Gaa rule book ,the exact same thing happened in the first game but no one has mentioned that incident. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 20/04/2014 11:09:33 1577498 Link 0 |
