Replying To ORIELMAN85:  "In the name of God,what advantage would Glen have in Breffni Park. Doubt they have ever played in it."
Kilcoo beat Ballyboden in all ireland semi final at Breffni park, so if Glen play Crokes i would guess that would be and should be venue.

Replying To ryan:  "I would say they would prefer to play at an ulster venue than playing a Dublin team in Croke Park. Maybe I am wrong though."
Again in the name of God, why would it be in Croke Park? If both should end up in the semi, it won't be in Derry or Dublin. After that it doesn't matter where it is played.

On paper it could be Glen v Crokes, if it is, your right, Armagh is a brilliant GAA ground. Another thing is young people, bring a ball or a hurl because you allowed play on field at half time.

Armagh is my favourite ground in the country to go watch a game. Always great to see the young people kicking ball and hurling at HT. Those occasions are the only time I've seen the Armagh county colours hurling.

Cavan a bit out of the way for a team from Down v Dublin, considering a small stretch of motorway separates both counties.

Armagh or Newry would probaly be more likely if it was Glen v Kilmacud. Derry is 2 hours from Cavan

Newry is 2 hours from Derry aswell.

Armagh would be smack bang in the middle .

Really enjoy watching An Bhoth I have to say, That's last two games that they pulled out of the fire through remaining patient, keeping their shape and kicking the hard ones. Beggan's role is as important as Cluxton's was to Dublin. And that on day he made two uncharacteristic errors,

Be interesting final.. Glen by no means a shoo in.

Should be a cracking final, personally I think the addition of the currin man up front will tip it in scotstowns favour..

... and the soft decisions(!) - clear Trillick frees not given, line balls blatantly incorrectly called - handed to Scotstown by the ref throughout. Ref and his crew were openly inconsistent throughout, and a few awful howlers near the end, all favouring Scotstown. At the end, Scotstown fans near me were cheering the ref. Says it all.

Read between the lines in the Irish News:

----------------------------------------

"Trillick chased a kickpass into the far corner and seemed to keep it in - but the linesman called it out. The ball wasn't out …"

"Scotstown got a couple of frees their way in the moments that remained that didn't fit with the fouls given over the other 80 minutes."

"… a referee that was allowing Scotstown to wrap him [Niall Donelly, Trillick player] up in bear hugs …"

---------------------------------------

There is a culture of omerta in the GAA about refereeing. Traditionally, even when a ref is poor, papers say nothing. So when a paper even mentions the ref at all, you can rest assured it's been very poor.

In a v tight game, the Armagh referee's well-timed interventions were decisive; perhaps a bit of spite at Trillick for embarrassing the Armagh champions in the previous game.

Glen did not look great in their semi, Scotstown could well win the Ulster final. And that of course would let the 17-a-side boys in Kilmacud off the hook.

I see the Kilmacud team is expanding like the numbers who claimed to be in GPO in '16.

I watched the game and in my opinion the best team won, won most of the breaks from kick outs in ET and it was crucial.
Also the ball was clearly out when 'Trillick chased a kick pass into the corner' the Trillick player even put his hands to his head because he knew it was out so dont believe everything u read! u sound very bitter about it.

The Ulster club Championship is like the the Ulster inter county Championship to me, the best in the country, some show from Scotstown again, great win, I fancy them to beat Glen too.I'd love to see them land an All Ireland too but one step at a time.
Trillick look a great team as well, we haven't seen the last of them.

A foul is a foul. If you complain about a referrer you ain't looking at the full picture.

Trillick had 80 minutes to win, they didn't.

I have no axe to grind for either club but I would guess Kilmacud would relish the opportunity of meeting Glen again.

Apart from the cross game there has been little between any of the teams, but the best two teams are in the final make no mistake.
Scotstown made some silly mistakes to keep Trillick in the game, how they weren't 5 or 6 up at half time needs proper analysis. This is the second game in a row they kept the opposition in a game they were on top
Cut that out they have a great chance and they won't fear KC either
