If it was an All Ireland semi final it would be big news but was it a fair 'shoulder to shoulder' challenge or a deserved red card? It was done at speed and on second look I think Mannion shouldnt have been sent off. gaelicgab (USA) - Posts: 878 - 29/05/2019 13:01:56 2188794 Link 1 |
It's a yellow and it wasn't shoulder to shoulder, he caused him a little on the chest. No need to set up a forum for it. Typical dub

Its a GAA discussion board. If you dont like it dont comment, simple. On the incident itself. Even in real time i thought it should have been a yellow but watching it again, it was definitely only a yellow card offence IMO. ConnollyDub (Dublin) - Posts: 2007 - 29/05/2019 13:09:47 2188803 Link 1 |
The same ref whose from Mayo thought Niall Morgan's shoulder on paddy Andrews jaw was a yellow but thought Mannions was a red, now someone explain that one to me? clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 29/05/2019 13:11:41 2188804 Link 11 |
No need to comment if you're not interested. Jog on!

To be fair to the ref, i thought it was iffy at the game, hopefully hes learned from the mistake he made against Tyrone, its just ironic it happened to go against Dublin. Its only in the slow mo i saw on the Sunday game you could make a case for it being shoulder to shoulder, regardless if its rescinded or not, i think its clear Mannion went into the challenge with good intentions in the spirit of the game.

Yup. Saw that alright. Dreadful stuff.

Just watching it on the Sunday game highlights looked reckless in real time but in fairness was obviously shoulder to shoulder when slowed down bostonredsox (Wexford) - Posts: 4368 - 29/05/2019 13:44:17 2188823 Link 0 |
I agree! Swings and roundabouts!

Looked harsh, possibly a yellow for a mistimed or clumsy shoulder but never a red. If it happened to your team in a big game you'd be fairly annoyed. GeniusGerry (Kerry) - Posts: 2105 - 29/05/2019 14:10:10 2188837 Link 6 |
Stay away from the swings and roundabouts ye dubs aren't able for them.

I think this is a sign that there is a clamp down on tackles like this, we seen the the previous week in Newry when Mooney seen the line. Whether we agree with it or not, this is the line that will be set for the first couple of weeks anyway. juicy (Meath) - Posts: 399 - 29/05/2019 14:38:24 2188848 Link 0 |
My first thought was red, after watching it back it was a yellow SaffronDon (Antrim) - Posts: 2386 - 29/05/2019 14:54:09 2188853 Link 0 |
I wouldn't be over critical of the ref to be honest as in real time it looked quite dangerous. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13718 - 29/05/2019 15:00:18 2188854 Link 5 |
Agree with the above.

I don't know what clip you're watching if you're saying he raised his elbow. I think his elbow is at a perfectly acceptable position braced for contact/impact. I think in this instance the main reason Mannion saw red is because he is physical specimen, 6"2 of pure muscle. If he makes the same challenge on a player of similar stature they both stay on their feet and nothing is made of it. I think the fact it was on a much smaller player didn't stand in his favour as the Louth fella crumbled when there was contact. There was no raised elbow, I agree it wasn't shoulder to shoulder in the traditional sense of both players coming side on but I don't think for a second he went in to do the opposing player. In real time I actually thought the ref was slightly harsh but I didn't have any major complaints about the red. It's a seriously tough job they do when you throw in crowd influence etc on top of having to make calls in split seconds. If he appeals he'll get off I'm sure but if not then it will give fellas like Paddy Small hopefully the chance to get a few valuable run outs in Croke Park.

Real time @ the game I thought he would've been lucky to escape a red. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 29/05/2019 15:14:12 2188858 Link 5 |
I taught is was red card clumsy challenge, not intentional or anything like that , but slightly high. bobkarlgees (Meath) - Posts: 1263 - 29/05/2019 15:38:16 2188869 Link 0 |
