Anybody else notice MDMA pulling down a Mayo player right in the middle of the field with about 10 / 15mins to go? A mayo player was in possession at the time and it happened only a couple of yards away? There was no replay shown of it. Joe_Bloggs (Tipperary) - Posts: 186 - 19/09/2016 10:28:46 1916082 Link 0 |
I actually thought it was a straight red, very high and dangerous and just reckless disregard for the opponent. As to who will ref the replay I'm not sure but wouldn't be surprised to see one of my own county men in the middle the next day, I'll go for David Gough.

What are they afraid of? I think it is image imo,they don't want to be seen to be having a go at Dublin.

Yeah I noticed,it meant that Mayo didn't have the option to pass the ball to the runner..

I don't get this whole 'why would a forward initiate a situation that leads to both he and the defender getting booked'. It's in the best interests of a forward to get his marker booked as he can then run at him all day as the marker is afraid to tackle. Don't think anyone from the participating counties should be let near a commentary or panel on All Ireland day. With the best will in the world they are going to be biased. Was disappointed with Thomas O Shea though, thought he was going to break into a verse of 'come on you boys in blue'

I know what you mean ziggy it was so Ott, it was like they had the script written for a Dublin win and when it ended up a draw they couldn't be bothered to change it.

Seen it. Bad, bad tackle. Fortunate. Very lucky not to be sent off.

Eh, Ciaran Whelan has been working on the SG all year. There are no Mayo men working for RTE but I do know that after the 2013 final when McStay was part of the SG panel, Both him and Whelan where on the Sunday game that evening.

Nah, it was a straight red. Was deliberate and dangerous. In rugby it'd be a spear tackle and that incurs a serious suspension. The GAA has to wise up to some of this ridiculous dangerous play before someone gets properly injured. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4241 - 19/09/2016 12:14:13 1916167 Link 1 |
Completely agree about the bias, Whelan when talking about the Keegan Connolly incidents and I agree with his views that the instigator should be punished and not the one forced to defend himself , but when the other panelists and even he himself said it had been going on all game and no one could say they saw who started it , he decided with no evidence it was keegan, keegan is a defender so is trying to keep him out of the game in any way possible and connolly is a forward just trying to play the game. Complete joke , I know Keegan is no angel I've seen it myself at games what he gets up too off the ball but Connolly is hardly known for his calm temperament. The ref had some bad calls yesterday but he handled that particular incident as best he could, why did the linesmen not bring it to his attention earlier the were up around the goals most of the game? and the SG did show the high tackle on COC (although glossed over it) the ref is clearly not looking at it. galwayfball (Galway) - Posts: 1678 - 19/09/2016 12:14:57 1916169 Link 1 |
It appears that there are different rules for different games and in AI's it appears anything goes. What does concern me is the amount of off the ball incidents that go unpunished (including lots of trips yesterday). What are the four umpires and two lines men doing or does their vision only extend a couple of metres. browncows (Meath) - Posts: 2342 - 19/09/2016 12:20:58 1916176 Link 0 |
That's your opinion on AOS from the game and you may well have a point but what's your opinion on the subject on this thread?

Michael Darragh should have walked after a deliberate trip on a Mayo player. He went in on Cillian O'Connor with a wild high tackle in the second half, that was a black or even a red card. thelongridge (Offaly) - Posts: 1746 - 19/09/2016 12:21:45 1916179 Link 2 |
I think the ref generally did well,its the lack of coverage on certain incidents involving Dublin players that annoyed me

Well it's just logical isn't it. The forward just wants to get away from the back and score. Look at that incident again and who instigates it? Whelan on the general point of officials not nipping these things in the bud, is correct. There are enough officials to see and act on these incidents. The whole SG panel agreed on it.

Nah, it was a straight red. Joe_Bloggs (Tipperary) - Posts: 186 - 19/09/2016 12:48:11 1916207 Link 1 |
A lot of these incidents are being blown out of proportion from what I can see. There wasn't one proper punch thrown so we should all relax. McCarthy should not have got a black card - O'Connor made the most of the minimal contact. McAuley should've got yellow for his tackle on Cillian (which I think he did). The rest of the tackles were fairly innocuous and didn't deserve any action. pdempsey (Mayo) - Posts: 1313 - 19/09/2016 12:50:45 1916212 Link 2 |
