Anyone see the incident with Kieran Fitzgerald? How does he keep escaping red cards?? hamsterdean (Limerick) - Posts: 223 - 11/11/2019 11:19:43 2249022 Link 4 |
Was not a red card, Fitz dropped his head and O'Connor caught him high, it was a yellow card all day, Funny you don't mention the other two Ballintudder yellows for exactly the same tackles. reffingmad (Roscommon) - Posts: 371 - 11/11/2019 11:40:02 2249034 Link 1 |
That would be a red card in Croke Park as well as the other 2 on Ballintubber. There should have been a red on Corofin for the high challenge towards towards the end also but the ref had to stay consistent. Clothesline tackles are red. Ref also gave Ballintubber a yellow instead of a black another time. Essentially the ref kept them in the game by his interpretation of the rules. O Connor is a high profile player who lives on the edge and he was lucky yesterday. Sean Og de Paor seemed to speculate that Ballintubber might have a tactic to pick up single yellows to disrupt the opposition. Professional yellows.

The only that came close to a red was the first one where there was force used, in C.O.C incident there was no force and an open hand, also Kieran Fitz lowered his body which brought the tackle higher, just my opinon

I was at the game yesterday and Kieran Fitzgerald put his head down when O'Connor made the tackle. It looked bad no doubt but it was the correct call. I watched it back last night as I had the game recorded. Cillian made contact with an open hand too so there was no malice in it. don492 (Mayo) - Posts: 165 - 11/11/2019 18:41:36 2249126 Link 0 |
Cillian does play on the edge and sometimes over it. I don't think it was a red in this occasion but I've seen him in other club games in mayo where he should have been red carded and was not. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11219 - 11/11/2019 20:20:51 2249137 Link 9 |
Ballintubber cleverly used the card system to stay in the game, they would be steam rolled in later stages. Corofin can improve for sure. maroondiesel (Mayo) - Posts: 1193 - 13/11/2019 10:34:55 2249388 Link 2 |
The 1st one was not even a card. Michael Plunkett tackled chest high but the Corofin player fell to ground dramatically holding his head. Cillian deserved a yellow and got a yellow.

Id worry for Gary Sice health in later years with the amount of 'head injuries' he does go down with in games.. tommy132 (Mayo) - Posts: 597 - 15/11/2019 15:59:16 2249767 Link 0 |
I'd worry more about Cillians elbows!

Because he has started to develop a habit of connecting them with opponents' heads.

Think he meant side could suffer from all the hits he Recieved. Boyle on the other hand is usually given out the dirty hits
