Scotstown showing a great balance … they can slow it down.. play 14 behind the ball,, they can run.. they can play a big man inside. Will be hard to beat.

If they're to win the All Ireland they will need to step up a bit from last year. All the furore about being robbed by Kilmacud's 16 has somehow clouded the fact that Glen very much played second fiddle to Crokes in the final and really rode their luck to be only 2 behind in the closing stages.

Crokes won the final with a bit in hand. The irrelevant stuff at the end obscures the fact that Glen at no stage looked like winning. Crokes are a cuter animal with each year that goes by, Were badly caught through own naivety by Kilcoo two years ago,, Will take a really good team to stop them and not seen one yet. Daingean Uí Chúis will be in the final anyway with Crokes so all of above is irrelevant :-) BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3118 - 13/11/2023 18:42:40 2512815 Link 0 |

You were expecting Derrygonnelly to beat Kilcoo and Glenties to hammer Gowna. Paddy Power must have done well

No matter who gets out of Ulster, hopefully it's 15 v 15.

Any team with 8 players on a div 1 intercounty panel needless to say will and should be very hard to beat.. the addition of the currin man was always going to added an extra string to the bow.. a tilt at an ulster title was always a given hence why fergie came back out of the woodwork after a 10 year hiatus……

Arva should easily win the Junior, winning both the semi and the final by double figures. If not, then cavan football really is in the doldrums if a senior team can't win a junior competition.

You have a serious chip on your shoulder with the club. They work v hard on and off the field. Having a large club has its issues aswell. The currin man is a Scotstown man.

No chip i just deal in facts, maybe you should do the same…..logic would tell any numpty that with 8 players from the 1 club on a div 1 intercounty team they should be competing for an ulster club as a bare minimun and add into the fact that they've 90/100 plus senior players to pick from across 5 senior teams…as for Jack being a scotstown man he played for currin until 28/29 years of age so dunno how that equates to him being a scotstown man…again fact is he's a currin man now playing for scotstown….

It's a 15 a side game. Not 8… you still need to have the coaching set up. 5 teams.. not all senior. 2 of them are recreational… So you don't believe he has Scotstown blood. His father and grandfather etc? veterngaa (Monaghan) - Posts: 651 - 14/11/2023 12:30:46 2512948 Link 0 |

My point stands, up to at least 70mns, Crokes were in control of that game and Glen rode their luck to be in contention. The subsequent controversy seems to have fed a narrative that Glen were the better team on the day which is far from true. If they meet again Glen will need a much better performance to come through.

It was 15 v 15 during all the time the game was won. It was won by Crokes, The mess at the end was not the reason that they won. There were more controversial incidents in both of the Ulster games I watched and by all accounts in the Naomh Conaill/Gowna match, several of which might have altered the match. Happens every game, and most move on, as Glen did because they knew that the error was not the reason they lost. By the way, it matters not a jot to the Crokes. They are not tossing and turning in their beds at night :-) BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3118 - 14/11/2023 15:27:12 2513011 Link 0 |

it's looking like a Glen v Croke's All-Ireland semi-final in a repeat of last year's final. Both massive favourites now to win their province. I would say Glen r delighted that Kilconly got beat. ryan (Donegal) - Posts: 747 - 14/11/2023 17:13:27 2513030 Link 0 |

And i am sure that it is that aspect of the game they were focused on rather than the officiating error. Glen showed a lot of class in the way they handled the whole thing. Unlike others who are still obsessed and as others have pointed out, have created an absurd narrative in which Crokes somehow won the match by "cheating." If they do meet in the semi-final, which is very possible, then it will be another good encounter. What happened in the final will have no bearing on that.

Stop embarrassing yourself and the rest of the scotstown people. Everyone knows the craic, so just keep your head down and try your best to win Ulster. farneygael (Monaghan) - Posts: 296 - 14/11/2023 20:10:03 2513058 Link 0 |
