Don't hold your breath. Christ football is hard to watch especially after watching a decent hurling match beforehand.

Doubt it - kilcoo think their system is working (tbf it's effective) so they'll keep at it.

Kilcoo are no angels either in fairness.

Wow. Now theres an advertisement for our native 'Catch and Kick' game. Kilkoo go full duvet and Corofin look like they havent a clue. Gaelic football is over and back traversing the pitch. Where are the straight runners in groups like rugby.? Its years behind other field games in utilising space and this in a game with no tackle. Any arm around the shoulder is a free and there were frees given to Kilkoo where there appeared to be no physical contact at all...Maybe the ref is a fan of 'Minority Report' and is predicting the foul like Tom Cruise could foresee a crime...Fair does...ahead of the times not behind

Referee certainly took the odds available on kilcoo this morning.

Hurling needs to be the main event from here on in. That isnt football being played. Its a hybrid of Rugby / wrestling.

Football match is woeful. One of the worst misses I've seen form the Kilcoo no 3 in the match also.Theres zero atmosphere here in Croker for it. Now I expect that to pick up in the second half.

ProudDUB

Let me Entertain You blaring from the speakers at half time. Someone at Croke Park has a sense of humor.

Say Your Number

The tackle on Fitzgerald was was nearly more of a foul.

wirelessdude01

Consequence of that stupid card in the first half.

Bunny Colvin

Never a second yellow. That decision has effectively ruined the game.

funkey_monkey

Corofin to stretch their legs from here on in.

Say Your Number

Caught him high, can't really complain, can see Corofin exploitiing the space now.

One bad half and you throw the entire game under the bus. There's plenty of drab hurling games but that gets swept under the carpet.

Say Your Number

Corofin taking potshots.

threeball

Kilcoo having to come out and attack will suit Corofin. I'd expect them to start making hay now.

beggars_bush

Corofin with everyone behind the ball there
Never gets mentioned by any pundit

Never going to be a good atmosphere when it is two thirds empty.

I think their saving grace is that they kick pass the ball more than other teams,making it slightly more attractive to watch.

Say Your Number

Instead of killing this game I think the red card improved it.

gormdubhgorm

I dunno what Corofin were at - did they never see any Dublin matches, and how to breakdown the ultra defensive team?

1) Don't bring the ball into the tackles
2) Play handpasses and wait
3) Maybe take the odd long shot

Instead they did mostly the opposite for ages.

Amazed how poorly they started, you would swear it was a new invention they were up against.

I can't get my head around it.

Did they not practice it in training or what?

They'll play it any way the game dictates and can change it up at different phases. Very few teams can do that. The likes of Kilkoo have one plan and that's it.

I don't think it will have made much difference to Kilkoo considering the system they play. It is just one body less that can funnel back.

One bad half? Football has been poor for years. Where have you been looking at it?

The game is like groundhog day Dublin v Donegal AI Semi Final 2011 0-8 0-6.
Where the Dubs were nearly caught
Just the colours are different. Still can't believe how Corofin do not know how to play against that type of system. Not rocket science the examples were set

Say Your Number

With all the people going on about the Hurling at least we're getting a more exciting finish to this game.

Say Your Number

How many more chances do Kilcoo need!!!!!

Three terrible wides, Kilcoo throwing this away.
