Replying To veterngaa: "Kilcoo beat a team who drank for a week and then a team who Scotstown beat by more last year. Not to mention scraping over the line in down a few times. A lot of people predicting on nostalgia…. People forget this Kilcoo team have filled the togs in Ulster finals .. they have won only 2 from their 6 finals. Loss on Sunday and it's 2 from 7. They are talked about as this unbeatable machine" When you get 2 ulsters and an all Ireland title in the bag, then maybe you'll be in a position to accuse a team like kilcoo with all home grown talent of "filling the togs"……… mick2007 (Monaghan) - Posts: 626 - 12/12/2025 07:07:32 2648050 Link

They are glorified as this team that has won all around them when in reality they have massively under achieved on the Ulster circuit. When they lose on Saturday it will be 3 in a row lost. veterngaa (Monaghan) - Posts: 913 - 12/12/2025 11:42:08 2648075 Link

Personally, I'll never be able to see a place as small as Kilcoo as being under achievers due to 'only' winning two Ulster clubs and an all Ireland. They are the ultimate over achievers. Underachievement would be if a club had say, 4 villages combined, the most registered players in Ulster in 2023, and also transferred in an intercounty player from a club 20 minutes down the road, and still not having an Ulster medal.

So if they had a bigger population they would be underachieving? veterngaa (Monaghan) - Posts: 913 - 13/12/2025 08:18:43 2648179 Link
Replying To Clubman57: "Look at how Scotstown set up, in their defence they get their man to man jobs then you have an arc of men defending with one man at times behind them. When the arc is broken they will be in trouble especially with kilcoo and their pace. A lot of slandering because of the mc currin transfer, from a small club myself this isn't what our game is about but at the same time if Scotstown get the job done nobody can disagree that this will be a huge achievement. Clubs around the county dream of being in this situation and to blood in the amount of young lads they have is phenomenal. Clubs around the county don't blood in 3 or 4 excellent young players in 3 or four years never mind doing it all this year like Scotstown have." "Clubs around the county don't blood in 3 or 4 excellent young players in 3 or 4 years never mind doing it all this year like Scotstown"… You're forgetting the small fact that Scotstown have 40+ lads at every age group. Of course they're going to stumble across 3 or 4 lads that can be bed into the senior team each year based purely on the law of averages when you have that many players at each age group.
