164436 lads lads lads. is it only now ye see the light? danjoe has been telling ye this for a while now. ulster football doesnt belong with the rest of ireland. too much pullin and draggin by ulster teams wrecking the game. its only now that lads from ulster are getting fed up of it that they start complaining. they must have been watching the glory days recently and seen what it was really like. total football. mayo in the 50s etc. gone are the days when football was exactly that, FOOT ball. all thanks to tyrone and armagh.

If you want to watch FOOTball watch SOCCER. Its not just about kicking a football though is it danjoe. You absolutely do not have a clue. Gaelic football is all about tactics and physical fitness, if you cant keep up then you are going to get battered all over the pitch. You obviously do not like the fact that teams cannot keep up with Ulster teams just because they take the game to a professional level. Yeah, there are some scenes that spectators dont like to see, but it is int he heat of the moment. Its fight or flight if your on the pitch to play your there to fight for the win. When you have adrenaline pumping through your body the slightest thing that annoys you sets you off.

And Id also like to say its nice seeing the Armagh and Tyrone fans sticking up for each other. Never thought I would see the day. lol.

Up Ulster!

some football teams will do anything to win a game and what happens is they drag other teams down to their level. but the big problem we have in the gaa is all these nuts on the side line shouting useless information and abuse to players and supporters from their own club and opposition teams . why would normal people go to a game and think they have a right to do this and also get involved in violence that is the poision of the gaa and not a week goes by now without a story about players selectors and fans fighting . this is what will drive players and supporters away from our games ,and what a judge said he is only waiting for a murder charge to be brought in front of him as the violence continues to rise

The amount of revisionism is crazy. TG4 showed the 2002 final a week ago - Armagh's tactics seemed to revolve around the long ball into the forward line.

Lads old age and all that that makes me a bit slow.

What Ulster dominance are we talking about? Did I miss it? Unless you mean 1991 to 94 when three different counties won Sam.

At present the ONLY Ulster county doing well are Tyrone. So could you please stop talking about Ulster dominance, when you mean Tyrone dominance. The other 8 are not doing a lot.

And at the end of the day Ulster have won 16 Sams in history. The Dubs have won more, not to mention Kerry who have over twice as many.

Now you can all come on and say that the futuire is Ulster, but the last Ulster team to win 3 titles in a decade were Down.

Since then, forty years ago, they have won 5 Ulsters.

So let us wait and see.

Tippman you are quite right. There are alot of people in Armagh who despise Cross because they are not good enough to beat them. Cross however do not care and in fact this spurs them on even more. There were people stating that the only reason Cross won 6 county finals was because the final was played in Cross and that it was worth a few points extra to them per game (up on 4 points in fact), the fact that they won some (if not all) of these matches by more than 4 points seems to have escaped them. They couldn't take an argument as the person responsible also has a haterd for Cross. In Ulster it does go without saying though that Cross only seem to have hard games within Armagh especially this year (Monaghan and Tyrone teams an exception).

I think some people are forgetting the time of year that the game was played. For a game in December it was decent enough. Yes there was some late hit, And(fracis was lucky to get away with what he did(but he's made out to be a lot dirtier that he actually is) If any if us were playing in the Provincial final would we do everything we could to win it. Do any of the cross lads care how the game looked.i doubt it. They are some example of a club and fair play to them. The Galway county and Provincial finals were brutal altogether to watch but theres not too much complaining about that.

ulster "foot"ball has been the laughing stock of the country now for the past 6 or 7 years. the recent ulster club final just proved what direction the game is being dragged in ulster. would it be a good idea for tyrone and armagh players to spend a summer or 2 learning to kick a ball in the footballing counties like mayo galway dublin and kerry? mayo families could foster a player and bring them to football camps, behaviour school etc. at least then you wouldnt see the carry on that tyrone and armagh are famous for.

well danjoe saying as there is an existing school link between a mayo school and a crossmaglen school this sort of renders your argument obsolete doesn't it!!? The schools rotate yearly visits and play matches and are facilitated by the local clubs, a club from mayo and Crossmaglen Rangers. By the way I know the school involved and the club involved in Mayo but that is none of your business and I'm sure a great GAA man like yourself will be able to find out after all it couldn't be that hard.

Yes I think this whole Ulster dominance thing is a bit exagerated. Lets face it Tyrone are the strong team in Ulster at the moment by a long shot. Armagh are next but as Wexford showed this year they are starting to fade. Wexford definitely had a fairly comfortable win against them. I think there are alot of good teams there in Ulster alright but like not every team there are world beaters. Armagh and Tyrone have shared the Ulster title for along time now. It's Cork and Kerry in Munster, Galway and Mayo in Conn and basically Dublin at the moment in Leinster but you'd still list out a few Leinster teams that would definitely be as strong as the majority of the Ulster teams. WestMeath, Loais, Wexford, Meath and maybe a few more could hold their own against all teams in Ulster but Tyrone.

I assume in the light of Tyrone's high-scoring, attack-minded displays without controversy this year, that we are precluded from the whinging about the nordies?

When all the excuses are given of Armagh championship too easy, Cross gettin home advantage, rumours of outside players from other parishes etc, Cross defy this and go and beat the best in Ulster for the 3rd year in a row. Then we hear Cross are too dirty and get away with a lot. Yes Cross are physical in Ulster but usually when they get out into a semi they play less like this and play a really open game. The bottom line is if you mix it with Cross they can play a hard game or an open game. I was on this messageboard the week after Cross won the All-Ireland in 2007 and there was a few posts and how some Cross player should have been sent off and not one word of congratulations from anyone. I think its time people just accepted Cross are a great team and along with Nemo Rangers the best clubs of our generation. I know a few do and I've met people from other counties in Cross who just came to watch them play (and have a few in Kearneys as well).

"but it is in the heat of the moment"

Could you tell me what rule this is? I'd never heard of it before.

Does it go something like:
"Rule 47.3(i) All previous rules are superceeded by 'the heat of the moment' during which time players are above sanction and free to beahve as they see fit. No free kicks or cards will be awarded against players who are acting in "the heat of the moment."

The rules don't change because you are worked up. Some of what went was done on Sunday would be classed as assault if didn't happen to be on a pitch. A game of football isn't an excuse for thuggery

Nor am I saying is it in anyway ok to strike another player, people on here seem to think that the teams they support are saints and as usual are looking for a way to run one of the best teams down in the country. So stop trying to twist what I am saying. Players are going to get hit thats a fact. It happens in all sports and if you are beaten off the ball physically and legally a player will probarbly try and use underhanded tactics. We can talk about this all day long, there are things that happened on the pitch last Sunday that none of us seen. Fact is though Cross won and if you think they are a dirty team you obivously dont know what you are on about...ALL TEAMS ARE!
