Replying To Ros2013: "That's some year for Kerry football. Well done to Dingle and I've no doubt Brigids will be back heartbreaking as it is." We were treated to one of the greatest games of football ever witnessed in Croke Park. Shackles off meant football was the real winner. Its heartbreaking for Bridgids as I thought they had it but im glad it didnt go to penalties. What a year for Kerry football they are making hay with the new rules.

Replying To mhunicean_abu: "Hard luck on Brigids, thought they were denied a free in at the end there to go 2 up" They definitely were from what I saw. That probably would have sealed the game. A classic case of not giving it to the team who were a point up. A boot flying in on a lad picking up the ball is a blatant free, regardless of the stage of the match or score at the time.

Better team won please and thank you. Dingle missed three sitters of goals and Saint Brigids goal was as agricultural as they come. Much better team thank you all very much for agreeing.

Replying To BigBàsMan: "Ah stop will ya lads get hit with hurls in every game of hurling. Ye better stick to football in Westmeath. Why you think the gaa didn't allow the footage? Because there was nothing in it" Footage was viewed and there was nothing in it to clear the player. Player got off on a technicality , not because 'there was nothing in it'. Still glad he played so both teams had a fair shot. Bookies had it as a 4 point game. BG won by 6 pulling up. Deserved winners. Loughrea have youth on their side and will be back.

Congratulations to both Ballygunner and Daingean Ui Chuis!
The hurling final was good, but the football one was brilliant. Tough luck in St. Brigids. It could have gone either way! But what a year for Dingle, especially the lads involved with Kerry.

Replying To BarneyGrant: "I'd imagine that Jimmy Gavin would have been on to this from get go!
He's big student of American field games and its a perfect fit for what they do in basketball where they line up the three pointers from outside the stua mór!
Thing is, do Dublin have a Geaney or similar who has the basic ability to kick points accurately from distance in the first place? I remember looking at a few boys in SFC who had the knack and weren't on panel. Names escape me now of course." Congrats Barney on Dingle s win.I know they close to your heart and backed them.Great game.

I also forgot to mention the contribution that TG4 make to these games. It really is thrilling commentary and coverage and no nonsense talk. The commentators and presenter really bring these games to life and it is an experience to listen and watch even though I understand everything being said.

Dingle a bit more direct today. A lot of hand passing from St Brigids. That said blatant fouling and 3 man tackles by Kerry backs went unpunished.

A good hit out whatever comp it is nice to win
Positives: Molloy was v good bar pass at end hit a great 2 ptr there was some edjit on here recently saying he wasn't a good kicker
After very rusty start thought hernon came into it well
Mcglinchey was our best midfielder vital at end
Mulhern had some lovely touches just lacking a bit of punch
McGrath looked v comfortable and one of senior heads on team.
Negitives: dominated on our kickout and breaks
Haven't seen anyone in 13-15 jerseys put their hand up and look ready to make an impact

A brilliant final. Both teams played very positive football right through. Some brilliant battles all over the pitch and excellent scores taken.
It's a game that could have gone either way. Brigid's kicks that they dropped short were very costly. I think An Daingean got 7 points from 5 kicks dropped short.
In a game of such fine margins, teams will always feel aggrieved by some decisions. There were two fouls on Brigid's forwards when they were a point up at the end of extra-time. The one where I think it was Eddie Nolan went to pick up the ball and was flattened by a sliding boot was a blatant one.
Because they were a point up and the game was almost over, the ref decided not to give it. If they were a point down, I'm certain he would have given it, or at any other stage in the game. An Daingean came down and levelled.
After that, Brigid's did have possession. Brain Stack is a mighty player, but he made a bad decision to try a risky ball in with around 50 seconds left. Should have held it and tried to work the last shot. Ensure they wouldn't lose the match anyway. Instead he gave it away and it was An Daingean who had the last crucial kick.
Comhghairdeas le muintir Chiarraí Thiar. Mí-ádh ceart ar fhir Ros Comáin.

Not a Brigids club man but my heart truly goes out to their players tonight. Outstanding effort to bring the game into extra time when so much was going against them including go down to 14 men in the 2nd half while Paul Geaney somehow avoiding a black.
Got themselves into a winning position in extra time and some debatable calls to not give frees to Brigids then ended up in Dingle scores which was telling.
Brigids will be most disappointed with their shooting efficiency so many scores left behind them they simply never reached their level of accuracy from their previous games and that will be the biggest regret tonight in All-Ireland final that was there to be won.
On the plus side it's still a young side that are sure to come again, players in their early 20s such as Ruaidhri Fallon,Conor Hand was a joy to watch.

Replying To Tirchonaill1: "Nobody ever asks what right does Denmark have to Greenland?
it's funny 'Europe' can't defend itself without help from America and NATO is nothing without the USA's military power, yet some European leaders think they can defend Greenland against America?
The way the Arctic is opening up for oil exploration etc and who knows what else lies under the Greenland ice, I'm sure the Americans and others know what mineral wealth is there an if they don't develop it the Chinese or Russians will likely be eyeing it up.
Never a dull day with President Trump anyway, I'd say he has some laugh at the likes of Starmer. He plays them like a fiddle." What right does anyone have to anything? It belongs to Denmark end of story. I'd say there's some lads here who would be delighted to see Ireland become the 51st state.

i havent posted much in this forum lately . it was great to see silverware return to the county on friday evening , firstly kudos to kildare on the great venue st conleths has become . a credit to all concerned . as for the game itself i saw a steel in westmeath i havent seen in a long time . 13 minutes into the 2nd half or there abouts kildare got a sloppy goal and i thought we were beaten . its then players stood up to the mark , the display in the last half of the 2nd half was immense . charlie drumm tadgh baker ronan wallace harry niall who i think will play a big role for us this year mattie whittaker and luke took the game to kildare who had no answer, but i have to say and most observers at the game said it that our captain ronan wallace led from the front from the very start. mark mchugh and his team has the players believing in themselves . i know its only o byrne cup time but there is nothing like winning . so well done to all and roll on sligo in cusack on sunday next

It was a very good game of football and although its a cliche, no team deserved to lose.It was a great battle between two fine teams.Well done Dingle and tough luck St.Brigids.Some great displays today from many players but special mention to Conor Hand and Tom O Sullivan.

Hard luck St Brigid's who gave in everything. Congratulations to Dingle on their win. Definite free near the end for Brigid's which probably would have won it. Some heroic performances by players on both sides. (Fallon, Cunnane, Frost, Hand etc for Brigid's) Great final.
