Cross v. Garrycastle is on TG4 from 4.45. My morning paper had the racing on at that time and I was disappointed but checked the website and the football is on - the schedules given to the papers were done up before the replay was scheduled, perhaps.

Garrycastle were behaving well before the game I see... trying to soften up the wrong men.

Good start to the second half from Garrycastle but Cross have done enough in the opening half hour to win the game. Oisin McConville outstanding also Hanratty surely has to get Man of the Match.

shouldn't sour what was a decent victory but the shouting of "up garrycastle" and "s**k my c**k" by garrycastle fans during the minutes silence for a dead Armagh gael was sickening and very disturbing. This also happened in Croke Park by the same fans. Another of garrycastles fans ran on to the field with his trousers down and bared all in front of men, women and children (this was at half time during the display of skills by young children), he was chased around the field and put back in the stand were he again came on to the field 5 minutes later, he was again caught and still not ejected from the ground. The other incident was a group of 13 to 14 year old garrycastle children bought a cross rangers hat in the shop behind the terrace at half time and proceeded to burn it. The GAA really needs to train stewards to deal properly with these incidents as they are harming the friendly family atmosphere that we all hold dear.

Disgraceful behaviour

I was at the game today - great day for armagh 2 all-irelands in the one day,
I didn't here the comments during the minute' silence, but the incidents in the pre- match photograph and the end of the parade when Aaron Kernan was struck was dissappointing.
As regards the 'fool' who ran around the field twice and exposing himself was either on something or a 'fool' - he was an embarrasement to Garycastle and the gaa.
We can blame the voluntary stewards but the real one to blame are the guards for their failure to arrest someone who committed a criminal act....

Congrats to Cross. Awesome club. They've single handedly taken club football to a whole new level in recent years. Will be the team to beat for a few more years.

Great day for us yesterday - the boys make us very proud with their commitment, performance and behaviour. Probably not fair to highlight only one or two but Aaron Kernan was immense and James morgan showed what a fine defender he is.

I posted regarding the behaviour of some of the Garrycastle fans after the first game and unfortunately as stated above there was more of this yesterday - surely the stewards should be preventing clowns like that fella getting anywhere near the ground let alone the pitch - they discredit the whole GAA with their antics.

Great show from Cross, you never get a second chance at them. They played some top quality controlled football and, unlike the Armagh county side, got quick direct ball to their forwards. If Armagh had played like this and used McConville, McDonnell and Clarke better they would have more than one All Ireland. As for the on and off field antics of Garrycastle and some of their fans as they say up here.....take a redner you clampits; you were put in your box yesterday well and good and let's hope you stay there for a while. I look forward to the GAA and Southern media holding a feeding frenzy this week on Garrycastle's behaviour over the two games.......is that two moons in the sky? Once again well done Cross!

frank,

I have read that there were some stuff that went on before and during the game from Garrycastle players while a few of their fans were at their antics in the stands while one in particular exposed himself on the pitch at half time in front of women and children; I hope to see the GAA now investigate!

Ulsterman (Antrim) - Posts: 9697 - 01/04/2012 21:59:58    1141564

Lads you were lucky Cross supporters didnt indulge in the same antics or the free state meeja would have had a field day; well done Cross only one way to put an end to that nonsense and thats on the score-board.

I take it this is the first time there has been an Ulster double then?

Congrats to Cross - delighted they showed up Garycastle - Remember a dodgy free at the end gifted them that match. I think they were hoping for "their lucky" Wexford referee to be the man in the middle to win the ai.
