Ulster Championship 2024

[PatMustard]

A typical Ulster Championship game - Down well prepared & we weren't at the races but all about the result. We tend to have rose tinted glasses when thinking about the past - even Joe's great team squeezed out results in Ulster and they won 7 titles!
Great to be back in a big final and a chance for this group to get some silverware - they've all been through the mill (including management) if any team deserves something it's this team. Doesn't work like that unfortunately but we have a chance as underdogs.
I fancy Tyrone tomorrow.

“Joe’s team” won four, technically.

Agree with the rest of your post though.

You get the point Pat - is a technical 4 a 5?lol

Does anyone know what time the final throws in on Sunday the 12th of May? Will be either 2pm or 4pm as the Leinster final is the same day. Thanks

Ulster gaa website says 4pm

Ach don’t pay any heed to me. Something Mrs M chooses to do quite often.

Thought it only fair to recognise the two Brians and Peter McDonnell’s achievements.

Just home. One comment on ref. Horrendous!
Where does Hq get them from.
You would nearly think there was an agenda in place to prevent us from getting to an ulster final.
Just one man's thoughts.
What does anybody else think?



Livid tonight,Slan.

Spoke to Hurson ( the linesman) after the game and asked him if there is no protocol for a linesman to step in and take the whistle away from a ref. who is clearly out of his depth. He just laughed.

Agreed, agree, agree, he was atrocious As poor a referee as I have ever seen, we were definitely playing against 16 for long periods of the match. He'll be gutted tonight that despite his best efforts he couldn't see Down over the line.

The club delegates and the “swiftly”
(Geezer) fans have left us in this sad place. Prob worst performace I’ve seen in years. Down are a div 3 team that can’t kick a 21 yard free and we nearly lost! Congratulations to all the yes men and all the club delegates!! Laughing stock of Ireland

Laughing stock of Ireland? That's enough gin for one night.

It’s true! But yous swifty boys will glorify some hard luck story later in the year. Absolute disgrace of a performance team selection etc.

Rewatched the game in full there and I’m actually a lot more positive. Armagh were really the only side who tried to push forward on the ball. Down ridiculously defensive and lack of ambition even on the ball. Hardly tried to score.
We had some very poor decisions and performances but the final will be a lot different. A lot easier to play and express I think.
Also the ref was an utter ball bag.
Joke free for the first goal build up on mc Kay. Joke free for pick up on Duffy. Overturned free at end. 13 scores to 8 and showed composure to come back from 2 down with not much to go.
Not as much doom and gloom as when leaving the ground

A swifty boy? Enlighten me.
