If the GAA want to get rid of diving then why not introduce the black card for this offence? However it is a bit of a nightmare for the referees at the moment and the players are not making it any easier. There is diving of sorts in every game you watch these days. If you take any tussle between a back and a forward where the forward ends up on the ground, it's very difficult for the ref to decide if it was an actual foul, dive or just a fair tackle.

To be fair to Sean Cavanagh and every other player in the cavan Tyrone match the ground was atrocious, players were slipping and sliding all over the place. Spectators in the covered stand even got soaked as the roof is leaking so my thoughts on that game are.. You cannot assume anything from it. It was played in a good spirit and the referree was very fair and allowed for the wet ground. There was no diving from either team.

Cavanman has obviously never played football and especially in weather conditions on that day. Believe me when I say when you change direction fast you will go down and I don't recall Sean C running around claiming a free - so please catch yourself on with your anti-Tyrone and Sean C bigotry its getting boooooring.

Anti-Sean Cavanagh?? Read over any post I've ever written on the man and I don't think you'll find me criticise him - he's the best footballer of his generation and I've stated many times, I consider him to be the best Tyrone have ever produced (even ahead of Canavan). The incident was in the first few mins and he didn't try to change direction. He's well known to be capable of "buying a free". cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5012 - 29/06/2016 13:28:17 1873797 Link 0 |
When are GAA going to clamp down on diving? The win at all costs is destroying our games CurranCake1 (Roscommon) - Posts: 130 - 09/07/2016 17:16:52 1879010 Link 0 |
So far already this year there has been 2 clear dives..Donegal goalkeeper and aidan o'shea. There doesn't seem to be much uproar about it in the media so you can only assume this sort of behaviour will continue. kevin03 (Tyrone) - Posts: 276 - 10/07/2016 09:20:31 1879790 Link 0 |
Why does a Connaught team get up to it and all in a qualifier. Have you heard of Micheak Shields James o Donoghue or A O Mahoney. None have played in the Ulster championship but they have all dived or went to ground to cheat. So you want to take a look at the whole of Ireland and not just the nine. Funny thing though a Mayo guy here during the week got on to me about Donegal diving. I think he read an article P Spilliane wrote about it. Have to have a quite word with him today.
