Another terrible game of football tonight. Fairly annoyed as a Ramor man at this stage at the shite they have served up so far in the championship. Absolutely no eagerness to get the ball forward never mind create a goal chance.

Mullahorn leveled the game with four minutes left. Ramor decided to keep the ball shockingly didn't even try to score and wound down the clock.

Conor Bradly and Brian O'Connell back so hopefully that will be enough to see us kick on.

Paddy MC went off injured score three lovely points.

I'd reckon if we manage to win the replay Killigarry will beat us.

To give a free for a dive like that at that stage of the game was a joke and he only played three minutes of the injury time not four with all the stoppages in injury time. He even gave a yellow card for it, look at some of the fouls Killygarry committed earlier and no cards, it was shocking stuff. It didn’t show the red card incident on Cavstream but i thought that Killygarry got frees a lot easier during the match than Kingscourt and they could easily have had two black cards earlier in the second half. Conor Smith should get an Oscar for his performance, embarrassing stuff. God help us if that lad is one of our best referees and they wonder why some referees get no respect, lots of them don’t deserve any. If I was a Kingscourt player waking up this morning I’d be wondering what’s the point putting up with that crap.

Conor Smith's performance embarrassing? You must have been at a different game. He was immense, won ball, kicked scores, set up scores and kicked the winner, whilst carrying a knock. Exceptional.

Gaels left to regret not sticking Geaorid in midfield when Paul Graham got his black card last week. Gowna had their best performance since last year, and even still there is loads of room for improvement. The semi against Crosserlough should be a cracker.

Ramor aren't easy on the eye but they are going to be hard beat by anyone. Physically they are a huge team and defensively they are going to make it hard for any team. Killygarry are going to have to be up for a battle.

Cuchulainns let Castlerahan off the hook yesterday evening, have to feel that will come back to haunt them. Cootehill gave Ballyhaise a a serious rattle but didn't take their chances and looked like they were running on empty for the last 10 minutes.

It was soft, watching it live it seemed like a bad call. I see the Cootehill Twitter account has a host of clips up feeling it was hard done by- there were a few very soft frees Cootehill got that they didn't post! If the club wants to make a complaint, fair enough but selecting some Cavstream clips and posting them on Twitter to me seems pretty childish.

Sexton was very whistle happy but it was the linesman who made the call that Hessin threw a punch at Watson (and didn't connect). As per the rule book, it's a red card but Cootehill will rightly feel aggrieved and Hessin was getting a lot of high quality ball into the full forwards and causing serious panic in the Ballyhaise defence.

Watson has no manners caused trouble the last time they played calling someone's girlfriend a tramp which ended up in a red aswell. Leaving his club for a neighbouring one thinking he was going to get on county panel 😆.

Ballyhaise against Cootehill has been very "feisty" of late. Probably a case of playing each other too often- didn't they play each other twice last year? I think if the current letter of the law was applied fully at the end of that game, there might have been a few more red cards dealt out. 😀 I wonder were refs instructed to crack down on things after the Gowna Vs Gaels game?

I think it was a soft ref but Hessin did swing a box, albeit he didn't connect. But Cootehill taking to Twitter to throw the toys out of the pram is embarrassing. I see a fair few of the tweets have been deleted.

The linesman had to make a decision in a split second and doesnt have the benefit of a replay. You looked at the video for more than that and wrongly identified a person and their reputation.Officials and players ans all of us can make mistakes but dont deserve the abuse that followa

The man named wasnt involved in the game that the video was put up and commented on.

Even Pat Clarke throwing on the Ramor Jersey for the last few minutes couldn't save them.

I thought Clarke let Ramor away with a lot of questionable tackling today. Killygarry found a way. Plenty of quality players, Lovett is a special prospect, willing to lead and take on responsibility.

Gowna will rightly go into the final as favourites. It will take something big for Killygarry to win it at their first attempt.

Did you even read my post..

Strangely enough, this place has been very quiet and a brilliant spectacle for Cavan football went unmentioned. It was a brilliant game on Saturday night and yet again Cavan club football lights up RTE.

James Smith clearly wasn't fit and Paddy Lynch was really well marshalled. McVeety was class in the middle for the Lough but over the 60 minutes Gowna were the better team. A soft penalty brought the Lough back into it and I wouldn't have been complaining with a replay. Casey had a very good game and I've been impressed with him this year. He has loads of talent but his decision making has improved a lot. Ryan Donohoe was colossal out in the middle, surely he could come into the Cavan senior panel (possibly as a half forward).

Two young teams apart from the couple of veterans. It's great to see these young lads performing well its good for Cavan football.

I agree, it wasn't a classic but considering the conditions it was end to end, both teams attacked non-stop and kicked some great scores. Yep, there was loads of mistakes- but hard not to have some with the rain on Saturday. I agree about the refereeing. Is it just me or have the refs been very fussy over the last few weeks?

Mc Veety if he wants it walks into that Cavan team. I loved him at full forward but maybe back with his power in the half forward line? I really hope he goes back in, I really felt for him not being in the country in 2020 giving his unbelievable committee at club and county.

Whilst we have tended in Cavan to be looking at forwards to bring in, we definitely need to be giving the likes of Cian Reilly and Carolan game time next year.
