Funny you are the only 1 saying a kick everyone else that is saying anything about it is saying it was an elbow i wasn't at the game seen it on tv and they didn't show anything or say anything

It's pretty obvious at this stage that Rory managed to elbow himself so intent on acting the gurriers were the Dubs today.

If i believed in conspiracy theories I'd say he was deliberately taken out of the game. But i don't :)

10 stitches and were a disgrace for booing a player.

O'Carroll was unlucky but was the author of his own misfortune.

The ball was nowhere near him & yet he was all over O'Connor who swung out in an effort to free himself.

Yellow for O'Connor maybe, but nothing more

Highlighted on the Sunday Game last night.. Cillian O Connor elbowed him off the ball.. O Connor has a nasty streak in him which i highlighted here before, he was first on the scene for all the major tussles yesterday roaring at the ref and linesman trying to influence them. He was at the same thing last year in Limerick which saw him getting red. If the relevent authorities act on Mc Mahon then O Connor should get same punishment.

Big difference between and elbow and a swinging arm.

ROC unlucky to get on the end of O'Connor's arm. He shouldn't be holding onto OConnor's jersey in the first place so he only has himself to blame. He'll have to pick up O'Shea in replay as I expect Mcmahon will be in the stan's

An accident. Nothing more.

O'Connor wasn't even looking at him.

Trying to get away from O'Carroll and swung an arm. Unfortunately cought Rory who needed 10 stitches.

Would be a travesty if O'Connor was banned.

Rory won't be playing next Saturday concussion protocol is a 3 week lay off I'd be surprised if Alan Brogan plays either Flynn knocked him out right at the end of the game. O Conor's arm was an accident fair enough.

i think waynaol and clondalkindub have got it spot on .

saying that there was alot of unsavory stuff by both team off the ball. Ref let it go on for far to long . he should have dished a few yellows early in the game .. linesmen and umpires need to be far more activate and be seen to be making calls to stamp it out

Stato32 i'd say u were prob watching a different game

No way was that an accident.You dont swing your arms behind you with that force for no reason.He "did" Rory O Carroll,and i expect him to serve a suspension.Sneaky,off the ball and reckless.

Not an accident but not a red card or worthy of a suspension either.

It's fairly hilarious to think that it was anything other than an accident.

COC was being pulled by ROC, and you can clearly see on the Sunday Game's footage that he sticks his right arm out while looking and shouting at the umpires, trying to bring their attention to it. He then tries to shrug ROC off with his left arm and catches him hard.

Can anyone here honestly think that COC was trying to draw an umpires attention his way while simultaneously trying to smack ROC as hard as possible? I mean, how stupid would he have to be? It's laughable.

Unlucky for ROC, that's about it. He shouldn't have been hanging out of him in the first place. As a forward, if you're being dragged and fouled, you have every right to try to shake the back off. All part of the game.

GAA need to look at having an assistant referee.In cases like this such an official would signal a free in straight away against the player swinging out of someones jersey off the ball. In this case Mayo would have got a free in regardless of where the ball was and it would not have got to the stage where ROC was injured. This is all avoidable but we constantly see players dragged off the ball out of the referees sight. Mayo player not at fault.
