Donegal taking McGhee appeal to next stage no wonder there discipline is shocking when they think it is ok to strike a lad . Rory Gallagher has brought bad discipline to this team unlike Jim mc Guinness who had great discipline Dellboypolecat (Tyrone) - Posts: 15069 - 27/06/2016 16:42:43 1872903 Link 1 |
I see from RTE last night that without doubt Donegal goal shouldn't have stood. Not only that but black card for Donegal player. However. I think draw a fair result overall and may the best side win replay. If it's Donegal I hope they win Ulster. Shelbourne (Monaghan) - Posts: 567 - 27/06/2016 16:56:36 1872912 Link 0 |
Trying way too hard dellboy, way too hard. Successful trolling requires a certain subtlety, nobody is going to take any Tyrone man giving out about discipline seriously. MuckrossHead (Donegal) - Posts: 5028 - 27/06/2016 18:44:40 1872977 Link 1 |
I don't think there is much between the sides to be honest & wouldn't see any more than a score or two between them. MuckrossHead (Donegal) - Posts: 5028 - 27/06/2016 18:47:27 1872978 Link 1 |

The back door would be better after saturday than after the ulster final imo. Too deflating to go at it again after losing ulster. The only side to do it was tyrone in 2005 I believe. (winning the all ireland I mean). We obviously did it in 2013 and 2015, (6 day turn around in 2013), but didnt last the distance either year thereafter. There is too many tough games played as well as disappointment and not enough time to regroup if you go in the back door this way.

Delboypolecat So you say that Donegal thinks it alright to strike a lad. I would not agree with that at all and by right there should be no issue with the two game ban But why should he serve a ban over two games when similar offences committed last year and the year before saw no player serving a ban How many appeals were last year/2014. Most of the red cards were for striking offences or dishing out a slight little kick. But I think most of the appeals were successful with no ban being served Neil McGee has already served two bans this year, what about D Connolly or Lee Keegan over the last couple of years? But the main reason I wanted to reply to you was to jog your memory a bit. If you can go back to 2003 ( I'm almost certain that was the year) did a Tyrone player not serve a six month ban over a stamping incident in a match v Kildare. I think the same player played in the All Ireland final after serving his ban. We want to be careful who we critize , we are no angels neither are Tyrone. Or anybody else for that matter.

There is no chance of the replay being televised anywhere? DL4SAM (Donegal) - Posts: 19 - 28/06/2016 12:45:38 1873237 Link 0 |
Most counties in recent years have tried to have bans overturned (and in the most part have been successful), Dublin last year with Connolly, Mayo with Keegan and Keane in the last few years. Doesn't mean they 'think it's ok to strike a lad'. He's a big player for them so if they can get him back for an important game obviously they're going to chance their arm and have a go. Don't think it's fair to insinuate they condone what happened.

I think Neil McGee deserved to get a ban and I have yet to meet a Donegal fan who condoned it. However I feel 2 matches is a bit too harsh. Fair enough if the same bans apply to similar incidents this year but we all know what will happen. Green_Gold (Donegal) - Posts: 1876 - 28/06/2016 14:48:33 1873322 Link 1 |
Would have to disagree with you on McGee. Assaults like that have no place in any sport. Suggesting that his ban is harsh is tantamount to partial acceptance of such behaviour. As to whether Donegal and Monaghan have improved from last year, I think we will have to wait for the Ulster final to find out. Maybe they have or maybe they are like two old boxers slugging it out with neither having enough puff to knock the other one out.

I think both teams have improved. As you said, there is an extra bit of pace to both attacks and that is probably why the game was exciting. Before the game I wasn't sure what to expect from Donegal but I did think that they were going to be facing a better Monaghan team than what they have faced in the last couple of years. I was impressed with both teams and I think whoever loses on saturday will still be in good shape come the last 8. The biggest loser from the 2 replays from this weekend will actually be the loser of the final itself. Very hard to recover from losing the Ulster Final as we have seen with Monaghan and Donegal in the last few years.

The reason McGee received 2 match ban as he was sent off against Kerry in league meaning he was one ban was doubled.

Should be a great replay, thought Donegal had Monaghan's measure last time out but was a very enjoyable game. Loved the physicality from both teams, contemplating making the trip down for the replay myself. GetOverTheBar (Tyrone) - Posts: 1388 - 28/06/2016 16:07:18 1873417 Link 0 |
Yep. Murph leveled Drew Wylie that time with the shoulder. No easy feat as Wylie is a unit himself!

To a certain extent I would agree with you here but its just the precedent where players who have used their closed fist to punch get off with no ban. I suppose we all have rose tinted glasses when it comes to our own players. I do accept that Neil McGee did wrong and does deserve a ban, just the severity of it I would argue with, I don't see why his previous red card in a league game should come into it. If the GAA acted with consistency regarding these matters, we wouldn't even be having this conversation. The whole appeals process is a bit of a fiasco anyhow, just undermines the referees.

If my memory serves me correct, Neil Mc Gee was not sent off in Kerry that day he pulled Alan Fitzgerald finger. green and gold (Donegal) - Posts: 105 - 28/06/2016 17:43:44 1873467 Link 1 |
He was 100% sent off against Kerry.

Sorry, scrap my last message, it was Fitzgerald that was sent off! You're 100% right! :)

It could work out as a massive plus for us for Neil McGee to serve this ban, as we have discovered and blooded in a new player, who is shaping up very well indeed. We also will have him for the fixture after monaghan whether it is back door or ulster final, because the last fixture was a draw.
