Club Championships 2019-20

I dunno what Corofin were at - did they never see any Dublin matches, and how to breakdown the ultra defensive team?

1) Don't bring the ball into the tackles
2) Play handpasses and wait
3) Maybe take the odd long shot

Instead they did mostly the opposite for ages.

Amazed how poorly they started, you would swear it was a new invention they were up against.

I can't get my head around it.

Did they not practice it in training or what?

I think their saving grace is that they kick pass the ball more than other teams,making it slightly more attractive to watch.

They'll play it any way the game dictates and can change it up at different phases. Very few teams can do that. The likes of Kilkoo have one plan and that's it.

Instead of killing this game I think the red card improved it.

I don't think it will have made much difference to Kilkoo considering the system they play. It is just one body less that can funnel back.

One bad half and you throw the entire game under the bus. There's plenty of drab hurling games but that gets swept under the carpet.

One bad half? Football has been poor for years. Where have you been looking at it?

The game is like groundhog day Dublin v Donegal AI Semi Final 2011 0-8 0-6.
Where the Dubs were nearly caught
Just the colours are different. Still can't believe how Corofin do not know how to play against that type of system. Not rocket science the examples were set

Say Your Number

With all the people going on about the Hurling at least we're getting a more exciting finish to this game.

Say Your Number

How many more chances do Kilcoo need!!!!!

tanko

Three terrible wides, Kilcoo throwing this away.

Is it exciting? Kilcoo unable to execute basic score taking within the 45.

Mantis Toboggan

Some awful wides here

It is not the football that has being poor just that tactians running the teams much easier to funnell behind a ball and try and keep the score down.

When the top teams play football and vary thier game it is fantastic like Dublin v Kerry etc. Dublin v Mayo games. Donegal v Kerry Draw. etc

I would not have considered the hurling to be fantastic last year by any means - by the way.

Pearlstone

Pure unadulterated drivel.

But sure they have never seen a bad game of hurling EVER

Mantis Toboggan

Just blow it up already

6 minutes into extra time the kilcoo number 13 inside his own 13 meter line and they need a score.
They had 13 players inside their 45 for that free.

What a joke.

JohnnyFlash

Corofin look like a completely different side to the team who put in a scintillating performance in the final last year.

TheRiverman

A horrific shambles.

tanko

Corofin are a filthy shower.

wirelessdude01

Serves Corofin right if they score this.

smelly sock

That is an excuse of a game. What a joke. Corofin have gone way down in my estimation after that. What ****e.

Pearlstone

Lane doing his best to have no winner...neither of them deserve to win it...

gormdubhgorm

To be honest I did not the club hurling or club football finals have being great for the neutral.
Ballyhae never looked in doubt and were in control once they got the few points lead.
Played within themselves and just waited for mistakes/chances

This football game is an example of poor preparation and tactics by Corofin, and the only reason thier is any sort of interest because it is close

franglan

Where was that free taken from?

Bunny Colvin

Delighted that went over. Corofin were taking the piss.

They were let play then though.

Football needs to go to 13 a side. Create extra space on the pitch for the better forwards. Implement zones to tackle the blanket.

Whoever thinks that ****e is better than hurling doesnt have a clue. What muck.

tanko

Lundy is some embarrassment.

Stole at least 10m

Joe_ Public

He moved free forward a long way i thought there. Maybe rules allow him to do that, i thought it was 10 metres.

It was moved forward. Dissent id say.

People from the crowd entered the tunnel there

Rightly brought forward for dissent. Corofin have been their own worst enemy the past 6 or 7 minutes. If they juat continued playong they would've won.

seligehgit

Turning very nasty.Very disappointing.

TheRiverman

Everyone concerned with this shambles should be ashamed of themselves.

He kicked it from another 10m ahead of where it was brought forward to.


Kilcoo letting themselves down badly after the whistle - nothing manly about hitting lads in the back

Yeah brought forward once, say 5-8 metres inside 45? Was actually kicked just outside D. Lane and lino's asleep.

celt262

Extra time or replay?

wirelessdude01

Supporter entered the tunnel from the crowd. Think it was a Corofin one.

CurryFlavoured

Exciting finish but what a load of dirt. Awful cynical by corofin, shocking shooting by kilcoo. Rule change needed. Limit handpasses or put in a clock forcing teams to advance the ball. I dunno, I'm open to suggestions. The semi finals were low scoring scrappy games too, just not as bad as this.

It is not a problem when there are intelligent footballers and sideline who have thought thier players to vary thier play.

The problem is when the lower quality players/mangers play they only know one way and that is stay defensive - no variety.

That is the issue not the game of football itself.

You could argue that some teams have to play defensive that way or they would never have a hope.
Cheddar Plunkett did the same with the Laois hurlers when I think of it.
Kept the score down ran Galway close,

Joe_ Public

He stole a few metres alright, maybe 4 or 5 but not more than that.

Big Ears

I've actually turned it off.
70 mins of that ****e was enough, I don't care who wins now.
