Is it not now time that the hurling takes centre stage on club final day after watching both matches today- what message does this send out to the youth watching the Corofin- Kilcoo game, was an embarrassment to watch- no sportsmanship in football nowadays- unlike the hurling- total respect from both sides with not a dirty stroke in the game. Thoughts ??

Thank god hurling prevailed in Newry, the sledging and behaviour of the slaughneil players let themselves down a bucket full.A club the promotes themselves as the ultimate Gaa club have no perch to sit on, no respect for the opposing opposition, continually shouted abuse and booed T.J at every free, thank god their air horns ran out. Mcgrath was an embarrassment- obviously sent out to put big Cody off his game, no intention of hurling against him so let's drag him down a level- not to mention breaking a players stick in half and throwing Another two hurls off the pitch which he got booked for, their manager couldn't control his emotions either, twice trying to put T.J off his free taking in sight of everyone in the stand, I understand some teams have a whatever it takes to win attitude but this won't work on the big stage-was a pity too because without being set up like this the slaughneil team can hurl a bit too. Role on the final...

Lucky enough to have played club and county since mid 90s - club success at minor- u21-junior- intermediate and senior championships , not so lucky at county level but memories I'll never forget- still pull a helmet on if needed with the juniors - long time looking over the wire .

Replying To SouthCounty:  "Poor comment jab lift take your Ballyhale tinted glasses off and give credit were its due - Slaughtneil were immense today and but for a few dodgy decisions second half could well have got over the line. Great to see an Ulster hurling team play so well and to hell with the begrudgery."
No tinted glasses on today SouthCounty, I've seen Slaughtneil a fair few times over the last number of years as a player and know their behaviour very well, trash talk is a big part of their game to get under the opposition's skin, they actually played well against Dunloy in the Ulster Final when they simply let themselves do a bit of hurling but today was a totally different game, they seemed to have to revert to old methods and tactics(bully's with hurls is what their manager tried to say they weren't) some players were obviously well briefed on how to mark the opposite player using a brand of football defending and checking,well sorry you ain't gonna rough up a team with the experience of Ballyhale, imagine if they had let the shackles off as they did in the last 10 what might have been !!!!!! Felt the shamrocks could have responded when the needed too, done enough to get over the line on a sticky January pitch in newry - Croker will be a different sod and a vast amount of room for both teams to play in..... As Shefflin said they will let their hurling do the talking and they did- a few Ballyhale players could've got caught up in the attention they received but they kept their cool and continued to hurl....now that's pure class

Replying To ZUL10:  "Why does the hurling not rotate as centre stage each year? Am I right in saying the only time in recent years that the hurling was on after the football was when cuala were involved? Yes that would make sense.. a Dublin club."
From memory it did rotate a few years back but the powers that be stopped it, the first half of the football was pure Boke- keep ball with a few scores threw in for good measure, second half was no better until last ten, was a hard watch, no comparison between the two games with hurling firmly on top - Time for a change

Replying To Antrimroad:  "Then the county board should appoint referees who keep up with the game"
I've yet to see a ref that can outrun a sliotar struck at over 80mph to keep up with play ??
