Replying To veterngaa:  "Kilcoo beat a team who drank for a week and then a team who Scotstown beat by more last year. Not to mention scraping over the line in down a few times. A lot of people predicting on nostalgia…. People forget this Kilcoo team have filled the togs in Ulster finals .. they have won only 2 from their 6 finals. Loss on Sunday and it's 2 from 7.

They are talked about as this unbeatable machine"
When you get 2 ulsters and an all Ireland title in the bag, then maybe you'll be in a position to accuse a team like kilcoo with all home grown talent of "filling the togs"………

Says a supporter of a team who have filled their togs in their last 3 final appearances. 2 from 6 looks a lot better than 0 from 3.

The point stands. They are glorified as this team that has won all around them when in reality they have massively under achieved on the Ulster circuit. When they lose on Saturday it will be 3 in a row lost.

Personally, I'll never be able to see a place as small as Kilcoo as being under achievers due to 'only' winning two Ulster clubs and an all Ireland. They are the ultimate over achievers.
Underachievement would be if a club had say, 4 villages combined, the most registered players in Ulster in 2023, and also transferred in an intercounty player from a club 20 minutes down the road, and still not having an Ulster medal.
