Mate youāre complaining about the split season not allowing for replays all year and now youāre giving out about no extra time today.

Missed the game. Was at a kidās birthday party in the backarse of nowhere, with shit mobile reception, so was relying on a few updates from home. Jerome would make most county teams in the country. Heād even trouble the mighty Limerick team I would think. Has all the attributes youād want in a county man. But I think his decision has been made, and we will just have to respect that.
Whatās the story there? It canāt be a Sunday thing as he played today?
Sure he was on the senior panel in 19 (and maybe 20 also).
From what I heard, it was the overall commitment time was an issue, as well as specific days for training. Donāt know much about JWs, but someone mentioned before that there were clashes with their midweek worship day?

If itās purely commitment, fair enough, but youād think you could make it work if he couldnāt train Tuesdays.
He looks good enough for the level.
One of the highlights of the day for me was when the Kilruane physio was patching up Jerome Cahill after a blood injury in the first half, who waddled 30 yards down the sideline to make sure she was doing it right only the bould Big Rob Ryan in a lovely, crisp navy shirt.
Does he have an older bother, that played underage for Tipp? Justin? Is he still hurling?
He has lost weight
Yes Justin was an excellent player who started for Tipp 21s in 2012 and 2013 but hasnāt played for Kilruane in a few years.
They have an even older brother Johnny who was a star Underage player but never played much beyond Under 21. Heād be about 33 now.

Any relation to Dinny? Former Antrim manager
You could be right.
I thought Rob was on that journey from being hated, to being respected to being loved, but heās still very much hated from talking to a few stewards today after he kicked Ballina off the pitch straight after they won the Inter Football last week.
Think heās a nephew.
Kieran Cahill the number 4 today would be a cousin again i think.
It was great to see a passionate Eamon OāShea pucking every ball for Kilruane in the stand today.

Do Roscrea go forward to the provincial intermediate championship or what is the story there?
Yes they do.
Playing Waterford champs
Bit of controversy surrounding Kilruaneās bid to have Darragh Peterās ruled eligible to play for yesterdayās game.
He transferred to a New York Club and in theory shouldnāt be allowed play in Ireland again until next year, but Decky McGrath made a mess of his transfer form to New York for the summer and in theory should have been in the same position. Kildangan pulled a stroke though and heās been back with them for the last number of games.
I understand there has to be rules and regulations but heās a Kilruane born and bred player and when you see Shane Walsh lining out for Kilmacud, there should be no issue with him being allowed play for his own club in a county final.
Heād be a big addition.

If you dug deep enough, I can guarantee you every single club is illegal in some way. They probably coulda played him, looked the opposition and County Board in the eye, and dared them to object.
Iād agree. I know my own club played a Divisional Final a few years ago and the opposition had a player playing who was said to be 100% illegal because of a similar transfer to some American Club for the summer. We didnāt object and it was the right thing to do.
Poaching players is different but a player should always be allowed play for his own club no matter what if heās officially affiliated to some team in Dubai/Oz/USA or wherever.
