Ulster Club Final replay

Jaysus anyone else watching the Cros/Ballinderry match. Talk about watching a fight and a bit of football breaking out. Now they are killing each other on the way into the dressing rooms at half time. Dreadful stuff this will reflect very badly on the game, both teams should be kicked out of the competition.

Yeah I saw it today.What a disgusting display.The fence kind of blocked the view of the camera but you could see the arms being raised in the air and the odd clenched fist.Say the GAA and the CCCC will impose hefty fines and suspensions.

As for the game itself,it was one of the worst advertisements for the game at club level.The standard was sh1te and both teams just seem to want to take lumps out of each other.Brian Crowe should have sent off 2 or 3 players yet not a single red card was issued.

Francie Bellews headbutt was a disgrace and one or two players got a slap or an elbow in the face.

I don't think Corofin or Kilmacud Crokes would have much to worry about after watching that game.Crossmaglen looked terrible.It wasn't as if they were the only team not allowed play football because they were as guilty themselves.

Just seen the highlights on the news, Francie"the pitbull" should get a ban for that headbutt,:eek: or does a back butt not count.

How many times has he been caught on camera committing over the top assualts.As for referee Crowe , I never rated him as an intercounty ref not a clue has he , think he would take the brown one..;)

The one thing I couldn't understand was that not one incident warranted a red card whereas the week before the high tackle from Cian O Sullivan for Kilmacud got him a straight red???

Cross have always been the same. Please God don't let them win the All Ireland

Muldoone was a big loss for Balinderry.

Last weeks ref was right to issue the red card- just as crowe was wrong not to do so yesterday. look again at the bellew incident for example - he lost the free for the headbutt and from the resulting throw in he tackled the ballinderry player around the neck (simular to the kilmacud lad) and out of the 2 incidents all he received was a black book/tick. the whistle should be taken from crowe after this game - he repeatedly turned a blind eye to these incidents instead of nipping it in the first half ......don't agree though with the earlier posts ...corofin or kilmacud will have it all to do if they meet cross on paddys day

Who was talking about the Dubs being dirty? This thread is about the Ulster Club Final, it should not be brought in the tiresome Dubs vs the rest direction

Cant agree with you there Blackbelt, Cross will take serious stopping and anyone who thinks they're just a big physical team are very seriously mistaken these guys can do it either way and can be equally breathtaking, even on Sunday in between all the rough and tumble stuff they got some serious scores from play and with all due respect to Drom-Broadfort, Cross are more or less in the AI as things stand

Not Sure about the premierman Drom-Broadford will give Crossmaglen plenty of it and can mix it too.
Thing is match is in Longford Pearse Park over 3 and half drive for supporters .
