Think he pulled him up on that and gave him a yellow but I always thought that that was a black card offence. Remember Richie Feeney if castlebar getting done for similar one early in all Ireland club final against Vincent's and he was off for rest of match and got replaced. Don't think the foot lock from Brigid's defender was a clear penalty. He did stop the ball with his foot but you usually have to be within reach of opponents foot for these to be given and it wasn't in this case. This advancing for not giving the ball back is a major red herring that needs to be cleared up before it costs teams in championship game. It was done with great intentions but it can be a nightmare for a ref to try and police. The case in the gaeltacht game the last day is open to interpretation asto whether it should be given and that's watching it back numerous times on video. Teams will be smarter too and will try and play the defender with the ball to make it look like he's not giving it back similar to what happened the last day. Lastly the calculation of what is 50 yard advancement does vary with different refs which is too vague. Don't envy the refs in this situation as they have a tough job on their hands Gaagael15 (Galway) - Posts: 23 - 06/01/2026 15:57:02 2650066 Link 0 |

That's probably more coincidence, and not strictly true anyway. 1 Armagh club has won as many AIs as all the Kerry clubs put together. Like in the hurling certain clubs are just better than most. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 17963 - 06/01/2026 16:00:29 2650067 Link 1 |

You must be a heavy better if you are well up and able to lay.

This rule of breaching the half way line is a joke. That was a 3 point swing for Clogher . Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2535 - 11/01/2026 13:39:04 2650644 Link 0 |

I see what you mean about the Glenullin support, is there no grown-ups in the club and tell them young lads to wise up. Imagine travelling that far and spending all your time acting the maggot, not part of our games.

After the epics last weekend, this Intermediate final is one of the worst games I've ever seen. The Derry team's complete unwillingness to push out and pressure the man in possession is mind-boggling. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2693 - 11/01/2026 16:38:13 2650672 Link 1 |

After Donegal losing the AI with the sit back stuff you'd think it would be consigned to history.

Good day for Kerry club teams. Ballymacelliogot win the Junior club, and An Gaeltacht the intermediate. Hope though St Brigids stop Dingle in the Senior club final. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2710 - 11/01/2026 18:47:37 2650686 Link 0 |

You'd have some sympathy for them though, given that they were playing a senior team.

I've debated Kerry's advantage in this competition for many years. No arguments from me on that. It has reduced a bit now, as they recently increased their number of senior clubs slightly. At the same time, I've no sympathy for the style of play the Glenullin went with in the first half. It was obvious after 10 minutes they were going to get a slow painful beating if they kept standing off, but they didn't change until it was far too late. The game was over at half-time. Someone above mentioned Donegal against Kerry in the All-Ireland, and that's what it reminded me of as I was watching it. Except this was even worse, if that's possible. A huge day for their club and they never really fired a shot. That has to hurt even more. I'm not taking a shot at them. They're a small club who had a great year, but I just couldn't fathom how they stuck with what was a clearly useless tactic for so long, until the game was done as a contest.

Congratulations to both Kerry teams today. An incredible achievement and on this note does anyone know if its ever happened where 3 teams from same county got to the 3 club finals?? Am I right in saying that An Ghaeltacht and Dingle are bordering clubs? Dothesimplethingswell (Sligo) - Posts: 42 - 11/01/2026 21:56:23 2650721 Link 0 |

You are right, they are amalgamated at every age from u12s until senior
