A weird match on TG4 today some really good football was played by both teams but yet it was quite a scrappy and neither team seemed to be able to get a grasp of the wind it looked like it was changing constantly throughout the match.Some fairly dreadful wides being kicked by both tams as a result of the conditions you would think.

Could anyone tell me how Dublin have not had about 10 black cards? How was the goalkeeper not carded at all just now for bringing down the Tyrone player? Such a stupid rule.

----
Because it was a blatant dive and the keeper got the ball with his right hand. Tyrone players going down holding their faces. Really shocking and got ROC sent off. Still Dubs prevailed. Hard earned win away from home and again with 14 men.

Up the Dubs!

Wasn't a sending off in a million years but it was a penalty in my opinion, he tugged McGuigan's jersey.

Anyway well done to Dublin, class point to win it. Only have ourselves to blame with that terrible start.

Regardless of anything else in this game,please do not let me hear,ever again, that Dublin do not resort to negative cynical play when it suits them.

That was an exceptionally poor game, not helped by the referee at all. Dublin can take nothing from that game except the win. The amount of wides by Tyrone was unreal, the poor quality passing by both teams and what Dublin see in O'Gara is surely one of the mysteries of Fatima - bizarre. As for the subbing!!!
A win is a win I suppose but the GAA will have to look at how that game was run by the officials - epic awfulness.

Does anyone know whats going on with these black and yellow cards.the tyrone crowd were baying for blood when only yellows were issued to dublin players.the Rory O Carroll red was a wrong decision.Overall a good win but worrying how we gave away such a healthy lead.Well have to kill teams off so as there is no coming back.

It was very blustery, I think that's why there were so many wides. And Duffy's decisions are baffling. Giving both teams frees for nothing.

Cork v Dublin next weekend, should be a cracker. Great result for us in Kerry today.

I'll ask you two questions.
Did the Tyrone player dive for the penalty?

Did the Tyrone player dive on the ground holding his face to get O'Carroll sent off?

Dublin need to wise up in the forwards and start going down a lot easier to win kickable scores. Kevin Mc had the jersey pulled off him all day yet stupidly stayed on his feet while up the other end players were diving and holding their faces. It's sad to say that refs are falling for this carry on so if you can't beat them join them unfortunately.

So it's Dublin V Cork & Mayo V Derry, right?!

Very poor game , can only assume that conditions dictated , very poor defending by Dublin allowing the running men through the middle and giving free after free away , Connolly was a marked man and came in for some on the edge provocation , thats what happens when opponents know of your fuse .
Disappointed in many of our players who didn't play with there head ,
On the plus side a win we will take , plus a semi against one of the best this year is just the tonic after this shambles ,

2 good semi finals.Mayo didnt have it all there own way against a weakened Derry.i have a feeling Mayo were not at full pelt.hard to call either game.Cork are on fire after giving their big rivals a thumping on home soil.Double header in HQ hopefully.

I shudder to think what the average British Sky punter would have made of this game.

The breeze certainly did't help but the diving & shambolic refereeing don't look good. I was conciously watching the game as if I was a novice who just happened across it & I have to say it wouldn't have had me baying for more. And that was from two of the best teams in the country!!

I hate to see Marty Duffy refing any game Tyrone is involved in

Any chance the GAA would let us Dubs do a bit of sightseeing and have the Cork semi in Portlaoise or Thurles?I dont think many of us Dubs would mind a day out.Maybe Mayo and Derry in Breffni?Id say the chances are slim to none.

Absolutely no way do we join them , we beat them didn't we , we are the all Ireland champions aren't we ? We are in a semi final aren't we ? Never succumb to the modern day scourge of diving and feigning injury , as for cynical tackling I can see where original poster is coming from however I feel it was poor lazy tackling and as poor a showing defence wise as Ive seen from our guys , we didn't track the runners allowed Sean Cavanagh the freedom of the park and that made life very difficult , there was a lack of discipline from our guys that Im not used to seeing , but hey a semi final Joxer so chin up , we will be in HQ next week Tyrone lads have the voice of Ireland to look forward to .

No Joxer the Tyrone player did not dive for the penalty,it wasn't a harsh tackle in any way by the Dublin keeper but he did take the legs out from under the Tyrone man so therefore clear penalty. The other incident is a no also,Mark Donnelly got a dig in the face,don't think it was malicious either but it was certainly a bit wreck less. If he was rolling about a bit so what,maybe his face was hurting!
