It's a black card fair enough the ref got it wrong but never in the history of Gaelic football have I seen a straight red card for a head lock, please someone show me footage of a player being straight red carded for a headlock? clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 18/07/2016 14:21:06 1885546 Link 2 |
Well said DamotheDub. If you're looking for reasoned debate unfortunately this is not the place. Used to be. Standard these days is just a load of name calling and weird revisionist nonsense. Nearly all threads on here have returned to AOS diving last week as a means of distraction from the real subject. Connolly should have got a yellow or a red. It was not a black card offence. As TOS pointed out last nite the ref used the yellow card as a get out of jail card. PS I could mention that I witnessed many footballers taking a dive from all teams involved in yesterday's televised games but I wouldn't do that Weary (None) - Posts: 249 - 18/07/2016 14:28:37 1885557 Link 0 |
Why is it not a black card infraction?

Jaysus, come on man. I stated at the time that AOS dived and should take his punishment. I also think that he would be better off keeping quiet and concentrating on his football rather than coming out with half-baked nonsense to justify his actions. As for the headlock question, it's not so much putting an opponent in a half Nelson that's dangerous as doing so and then driving him towards the ground. I personally wouldn't give a red for it, but it's hard to argue against a black card according to the rule book. Gleebo (Mayo) - Posts: 2208 - 18/07/2016 14:53:38 1885593 Link 0 |
Considering he's retired I imagine the reaction to him "choke-holding" a Westmeath player in Croke Park would be appropriate.

Yellow card was the right call, as it should have been for O'Shea in last year's semi V Dublin. You can only apply cynical play when it interferes with actual play. Anyway, lose the feckin thing as our refs are at different levels of interpretation! realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8596 - 18/07/2016 17:06:47 1885738 Link 1 |

Yes and I've agreed it's a black card but never seen a straight red for a head lock. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 18/07/2016 18:31:21 1885786 Link 1 |
Exactly. Yellow card was fair enough. Nothing more to be said about it.

Not the biggest fan of Connolly but a yellow card was the right call. Catching a player in a headlock and bringing him to the ground does not warrant a red card IMO. He has gotten away lightly with incidents in the past but on this occasion the ref made the right call. KY4SAM2015 (Kerry) - Posts: 898 - 18/07/2016 18:41:49 1885795 Link 0 |
Connolly should lucky to stay on field. Should have been black carded. Kieran Donaghy done exact same to Michael Murphy during league. Also Lee Keegan pulled Connolly down by neck last year. Peter Crowley on James McCarthy in league final. All cases were black cards and referee took easy way and issued yellow cards .

worth a yellow no more, He does get picked on a bit even if its small silly stuff like roughing his hair or clapping in his face when he misses a shot at goal, Reminds me a bit of Graham Geraghty he has to stand up for himself SheridansTry (Meath) - Posts: 180 - 18/07/2016 18:53:06 1885802 Link 0 |
Incorrect. No where in the rules does it say that the ball has to be in play. A black card, or any other card can be issued before, during or even after the game. A minimum of black should have been given to DC.

I wish people would read the rules to get a better understanding of them. An action does not have to interfere with play before a black, or any other colour, can be applied. In this case there was a deliberate pulling down of an opponent to the ground and it merits a black card as per rule book. Even if it happened before the throw in at the start, a black could have been issued.

Have a look at the rule book for the crack and you will see that it should be black!!!!

The red probably wouldn't be issued for the headlock, but for the dangerous manner in which he took his opponent to the ground. Dangerous play = red card.
