Tight first half. Two nice goals and a few nice points. Is it just me or are Crokes fouling an awful lot? The_Fridge (Tyrone) - Posts: 2088 - 17/03/2017 17:34:04 1967879 Link 2 |
100% agree very cynical in my opinion.

Was building up to be a great game until the stupid sending off. Referee had no choice. Slaughtneil still in with a good shout but game has been entirely different in second half so far. Soma (UK) - Posts: 2630 - 17/03/2017 18:04:31 1967887 Link 1 |
Both teams playing well but Crokes are fouling constantly and the ref is letting them away with it. Slaughtneil trying to run the ball but it's orchestrated pulling, tugging and 'stop the man' through whatever means necessary.

Some stoic defending from Crokes, messy wides by SN, struggling with their style of play on a big pitch but giving it a right go. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 17/03/2017 18:10:02 1967890 Link 1 |
Crokes getting away with awful pulling, dragging and cynical fouling. Deegan letting them away with it

Very cynical. Wally (Tyrone) - Posts: 912 - 17/03/2017 18:14:23 1967894 Link 1 |
Every man behind the ball I've no issue with, Donegal and other northern teams invented that. But fouling constantly is illegal and cynical and it's well rehearsed and intentional today. Still, Crokes are smart, organised and a well conditioned outfit and up for the battle with a tough Slaughtneil team Donegal_abroad (Donegal) - Posts: 1321 - 17/03/2017 18:19:07 1967895 Link 1 |

That's the worst type of supposed 'Nordie puke football' from crokes in last quarter of the game, awful stuff! bumpernut (Antrim) - Posts: 1852 - 17/03/2017 18:24:04 1967898 Link 1 |
Warms the heart to see Gooch finally win this elusive medal, it's been a long long road the Crokes travelled to get here. TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 17/03/2017 18:30:09 1967901 Link 3 |
Congrats to Crokes a very contained, expierenced and disciplined performance. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 17/03/2017 18:32:21 1967902 Link 1 |
Great for Gooch and congrats to all involved, but the way that game was won was drastic.

Well done to Dr Crokes, they are All Ireland Champions and the Gooch has his club medal. They also beat an Ulster team in the final, so I doubt there will be much complaining in Killarney. However lets call a spade a spade, it was a cynical peformance from the Crokes. There plan seemed to be disrupt the oppostion as much as possible, and after the sending off, became a basketball team. The ref was very one sided I thought, and maybe was swayed by the fact this was a Kerry team. Football is very hard to watch at the minute, the second half was brutal. Cynical tactics are now normal throughout the country. sam1884 (UK) - Posts: 999 - 17/03/2017 18:34:47 1967905 Link 1 |

It's a terrible thing to be insulting Irish people on our patron saints day, but my God most of ye are such stereotypes. TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 17/03/2017 18:37:49 1967908 Link 5 |
May not have been great to watch, but Crokes have been on the receiving end numerous times. You do what you need to do to win. Great to see Gooch finally win it, if anyone deserves a medal its him. One of the all time greats. iarmhi_an_mhaith (Westmeath) - Posts: 268 - 17/03/2017 18:38:00 1967909 Link 2 |
