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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Replying To yew_tree: "How did the D teams get on? Someone said they played behind locked doors in ballinrobe. Honestly who gives a fiddlers. FBD is a developmental league, nothing more nothing less. It's about bringing new lads through and giving them experience.
Both counties will have many changes next weekend for the first round of the league." I was joking Yew..

Replying To eddieSize5Balls: "Donegal are in a great place for the present and future. Always had a young team but now ya throw in the 5-10 great young players that have been added to the panel, we could be set for the next decade. It's sad to see Paddy go (although I think he can be coaxed back) and we may not have much longer left of Ryan and Murphy but even still, what a talented bunch of players." In a great place. We're under the radar a little bit regarding the talent coming through. The media often lazily will comment no recent success at underage as a barometer when the reality is you could put a blanket over ourselves, Derry and Tyrone. Tyrone won the AI last year but we pushed them to the very end and had them pinned but for a cheap infraction on the 3 back rule when we had a tsunami of momentum. I really hope them young lads can get their Ulster medal and see what happens after. It'll give the county great momentum. Kerry another story. They'll be very hard stopped with a fit David Clifford but that's a conundrum for another time.

Replying To foreveryoung: "There'd be very poor look out for Roscommon if they couldn't win more than Leitrim, which they can of course do, and easily do!" Haha Roscommon laughing at Leitrim is the equivalent of Burnley laughing at Derby County, Burnley will get promoted and will always get relegated the following year, Derby County aren't up to much but in the greater scheme of things both clubs are irrelevant.

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.

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.

I think the nature of the defeat to Kerry in the final has us written off in a lot of the national media which won't do any harm really. There was a lot of talk of the zonal defence being completely dead after Kerry's performance but in reality I think the structures are not what let us down that day.
but as I say I'm happy enough to be under the radar, even though we are back to back Ulster champions we are third behind Tyrone and Armagh in a lot of the chatter I've seen. I think both those counties are very strong too. It'll be great to see how we get on in Croke Park this weekend.
great to see the performance of some of the young lads at the weekend there, it was my first game of the year - fair weather fan only going to finals! I was very impressed with Shea Malone especially the finish for the second goal, and also thought Turlough Carr got on a lot of ball and played well. Mark Curran I thought played well too and great to see big Hughie moving so well, he is so important to us in my opinion.
Monaghan hit a lot of wides in key moments but you always felt we had another gear especially with the strength of the bench.

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.

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

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.

Replying To yew_tree: "A few ruin the conversation for everyone on there which is why I rarely post anymore. Every county has its head bangers though. I'm amused why anyone would get excited or disappointed over an FBd league match. Even the league itself….its all about what you do in championship." Spot on. There'll be an overreaction to next week's result from whoever loses also, albeit it's harder to get Galway fans excitable than the Mayo contingent
Ultimately none of it matters a joy until championship. Nobody remembers the league never mind an FBD
