    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.

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

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

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

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

    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.

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

    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.

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

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

    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?

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    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

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

    Is it exciting? Kilcoo unable to execute basic score taking within the 45.

    It is not the football that has being poor just that tactians running the teams much easier to funnell behind a ball and try and keep the score down.

    When the top teams play football and vary thier game it is fantastic like Dublin v Kerry etc. Dublin v Mayo games. Donegal v Kerry Draw. etc

    I would not have considered the hurling to be fantastic last year by any means - by the way.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    6 minutes into extra time the kilcoo number 13 inside his own 13 meter line and they need a score.
    They had 13 players inside their 45 for that free.

    What a joke.
