Look it was a foul, Cluxton was bundled over the line. westkerry (Kerry) - Posts: 1250 - 03/08/2015 09:57:29 1762864 Link 0 |
Why on earth would it rattle the dubs? Jackeen (Dublin) - Posts: 4097 - 03/08/2015 09:58:13 1762865 Link 0 |
I am of the opinion that the goal should not have stood but I am not surprised it was given having witnessed more than a few bad officiating performances so far this summer. Thankfully in this instance with less than 10 mins to go and a massive gap between the teams it did not have any impact whatsoever on the outcome of the game. But come on folks there have been decisions already this summer that have had an impact on games that have not got an airing here. Regards yesterday there is a lot more to talk about i.e. Kerry looking pretty complete but in the context of playing a very weak Kildare team while Dublin's Midfield and Full Back lines needing immediate attention.

First and foremost it was 100% a free but I for one was happy to take anything we were given on that day and it did help to improve the atmosphere on the day. donkeykong (Fermanagh) - Posts: 147 - 03/08/2015 10:02:15 1762869 Link 0 |
To me 3 things come in to play here - the written rules, the interpretation of these rules and the game to game application of them. Offside_Rule (Antrim) - Posts: 4058 - 03/08/2015 10:04:28 1762871 Link 0 |
Great technique to finish the goal by Quigley. Not to many full forwards could have shown the composure and cool head to get that ball over the line. Goal of the championship? gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts: 4971 - 03/08/2015 10:08:20 1762875 Link 0 |
The visceral bellyaching from people at Croke Park and from what I seen online regarding a decision at a time when the Blue Juggernaut were trampling little Fermanagh by 15 points astounded me. Just gives an indication the refs are under by 60,000+ baying supporters roaring ( I know it was a lot less yesterday but point stands) Imagine if the game was still in the melting pot KYTitletown (Kerry) - Posts: 816 - 03/08/2015 10:56:19 1762910 Link 0 |
That's the point KY. Imagine!! Jackeen (Dublin) - Posts: 4097 - 03/08/2015 11:03:52 1762920 Link 0 |
The first goal is not up for debate, Anyone who knows anything about Gaelic Football knows you cannot frontal charge any player on the pitch. Anyone who on the tread who said Cluxton charged at Quigly must think alot of Cluxton. How can you catch the ball and at the same time charge at a player. Anyway in my mind that decision was the only the tip of the iceberg and to the refs credit at least he showed his true colours. He gave Fermanagh 21 frees to Dublins 4 the whole game. I know people will argue it is Dublins own doing but even the Sunday Game's highlight show cited this and showed Fermanagh got alot of soft soft frees. To be honest I'm used to it as a Dublin fan. We can also say it now because we won. It is not sour grapes and to be honest I dont care too much as I had Dublin to score the 3rd goals and it bagged me 80 quid from betfair. I am just worried it will happen again in the next round when the game is tighter. Sean867 (Dublin) - Posts: 25 - 03/08/2015 11:14:50 1762933 Link 0 |
Well Jackeen, ye are so far ahead of the others this year that scenario is almost certain not to arise so all we can do is imagine that hypothetical scenario KYTitletown (Kerry) - Posts: 816 - 03/08/2015 11:28:58 1762946 Link 0 |
That was the most one sided referring performance I've ever seen. The goal hahaha and lads on here tell us the refs favour us what a load of bs. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 03/08/2015 11:36:14 1762955 Link 0 |
Ye right however I'm talking about it in the context of all teams. Jackeen (Dublin) - Posts: 4097 - 03/08/2015 11:42:44 1762959 Link 0 |
As a referee I wouldn't give it - free out , the old rule applies, if in doubt free out, but the umpire was very slow to act.... I was at the game and it had an impact on the game... dubs were rattled a bit and it did fire Fermanagh up.... Cluxton made a massive error for goal 2... cuchulainn35 (Armagh) - Posts: 1676 - 03/08/2015 11:45:29 1762962 Link 0 |
Anyone trying to claim that the goal was in any way legitimate is either a blathering idiot, a troll, or both. The rule clearly states that you cannot charge the goalie in the small square - end of. It's actually quite shocking that an intercounty ref would allow the goal. That, added to a 21-4 free count against the Dubs, indicates to me that the ref was more interested in "making a game of it" than actually refereeing the match on its merits. ballydalane (Kilkenny) - Posts: 1246 - 03/08/2015 11:46:44 1762964 Link 0 |

Brilliant goal by Quigley, contender for goal of the season. Then Cluxton air kicks for Fermanagh's second goal, think he was rattled. thelongridge (Offaly) - Posts: 1751 - 03/08/2015 11:58:28 1762979 Link 0 |
The key thing is the number of frees awarded, 21 versus only 4 for Dublin. 2013 final vs Mayo all over again. Such partisanship on the part of the referee is what gets players and fans frustrated to the point that trouble breaks out. Its not good enough or acceptable. The first Fermanagh goal was only one in a series of unbelievable decisions made by the referee. Beacaire Gorm (Dublin) - Posts: 597 - 03/08/2015 12:02:21 1762982 Link 0 |

21 to 4 frees it's frightening how one sided a ref can be , Fermanagh players just fell to the ground and he gives a free every single time I couldn't believe what I was seeing , Donegal can tackle any way they like and they never give a free against them yet we barely touch a lad and it's a free. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 03/08/2015 13:56:56 1763075 Link 0 |
Umpire had the look not the ref. I think the ball was over the line before the challenge actually maroondiesel (Mayo) - Posts: 1197 - 03/08/2015 14:33:02 1763100 Link 0 |
