Club Championships 2017

Football aristocracy I suppose.

Who’s 17 for Crokes, just came on?

Nice bit of cuteness there from Bradley, mauled the opposition midfielder and bought his own free. Very admirable.

Crokes making no use of the spare man so far.

Aw, thats a tough miss from McKeigue.

This half is turning into some slog now.

not sure what you expect him to do though? there is no rule in GAA for punishing a team for persistent fouling. He is giving the frees as they come, very little more he can do other than give the yellow card for a player if he commits a yellow card offence. Crokes are a cynical team though, obviously targeting McKeigue and stopping his momentum from deep.

Would you not consider Crokes cuter compared to Slaughneil who want to bulldoze through every challenge?

Think the ref has blown for anything worth blowing for. Harsh enough on Deegan tbf by you.

He has the look of a young lad @ChocolateMice taught - does he go to Mary I?

I wouldn’t waste my time. Lads like him want a referee who referees to his own rules, instead of the rule book. Maurice has been outstanding so far today.

Sweet score.

That’s a great score.

Hard to see anything other than Crokes pulling away easily here.

I don’t think they’ll win by 10 points but it’ll be death by a thousand cuts in the last 13 mins plus injury time.

Wtf was that lad at punching O’Leary in the balls right in front of the linesman. Cost his team the All-Ireland.

Derry boys are getting tired now.

Thats awful shit from Slaughtneil. Fucking hell. no one prepared to take on the shot, and the one lad that did never looked like he’d score it if he was to try it another 50 times.

Agreed. Crokes’ gamesmanship is fairly annoying all the same.

Very soft free in. A dive.

yup. effectively playing the game that the nordies are oft accused of doing. pulling a heap of players back inside the 45 and fouling deep in the other half to get those numbers back.

That fullback for Slaugh has some engine on him.
