Omaghjoe I know we all wear our county-coloured blinkers at times but come on.... going by your name your obviously a fan of the man and possibly a friend/clubmate so naturally you feel passionate about what happened, but you are allowing this to completely control your point of view. I agree it was a poor challenge and certainly merited a yellow if not red card. And big Joe was a loss to Tyrone that day but you can't say for certain it was the reason Tyrone got beat. Anyway I'd like to add a few points to the argument as to why I don't believe the played was targeted... tirchonaill92 (Donegal) - Posts: 156 - 29/07/2013 15:10:59 1446379 Link 0 |
Lads I am currently abroad so have only seen the McHugh incident this morning as I had no access to the RTE player. Taking that incident on its own, I have no idea what the big fuss is. In my opinion there was no malice from either player and Mark came off worse. I watched it over and over and have the same conclusion each time.

Re McHugh v Gillogly: he was there to be hit; these boys train hard and are in peak physical condition: it is unfortunate that McHugh's injury turned out as it was but Gillogly did not intend to hospitalise him: wonder what Jimmy would make of the Boul Micky Ned v Dublin KevHill (Antrim) - Posts: 271 - 29/07/2013 17:04:56 1446658 Link 0 |
The donegal backroom team really seem to be getting a bit carried away - you have gallagher on the sideline getting involved in confrontations while Jim is going around giving soundbites on the dangers of contact sport - would be more in their interest to put the heads down and plan for Mayo - they're defo rattled and seem to be struggling with the extra pressures that come with being the AI champs. blacknamber (Kerry) - Posts: 267 - 29/07/2013 17:06:52 1446668 Link 0 |
Jimmy might not have to worry too much about his players getting injured after Sunday. Mike Patton (Monaghan) - Posts: 82 - 29/07/2013 17:15:26 1446686 Link 0 |

I've said it before and I'll say it again, what mcguinness is doing is very unfair on Gollogly TheMaster (Mayo) - Posts: 16187 - 29/07/2013 17:29:21 1446726 Link 0 |
I think Jim's right to highlight this kind of thing but he shouldn't have used what happened McHugh as an example. I think what happened there is just an unfortunate result of the physical condition these players are in these days and a slightly mistimed accident. But it shows the fine lines and how close a really serious injury is, especially when a lad gets targeted. JoeSoap (Donegal) - Posts: 1432 - 29/07/2013 17:31:01 1446727 Link 0 |
Tirchonaill92 I wouldn't worry too much about these Tyrone lads, their anti Donegal agenda and bitterness is easily the most identifiable trend on the whole of Hoganstand. They gripe about McGuiness, McLoone, venues, referees, you name it. All in a not-so-well disguised attempt to cover their dislike of Donegal after them being brought down to earth in 2011, 2012 and also 2013 by Donegal. Their position as the big team of the north has been eradicated year after year now by Donegal under Jim McGuiness and many of them take any little chance to try and belittle Donegal. It's a far cry from the great support I remember many, many Donegal fans giving Tyrone when they did so well in years gone by under Mickey Harte. I won't be making that mistake again and know many others who feel the same. Northern solidarity and Ulster unity is a unique thing in our games. Tyrone fans are happy to engage in it when they're the recipients of it and they are doing well, but when another team is doing well it's proven to be a very different story.

Why doesnt Jim start with Donegal players cutting out the cynical and off the ball stuff. Murph (Kerry) - Posts: 45 - 29/07/2013 17:53:37 1446760 Link 0 |

Nothing wrong with Gollogly's tackle in fact its great to see a man get clattered in a 50/50 (ish!) rather than the usual pulling and dragging these days. Its pure bad luck that McHugh got injured, Gollogly could have easily injured himself or McHugh could have got up and ran it off but its just they way he caught him. That type of body slam lifts the whole team and is good as a point. SeanieSense (Donegal) - Posts: 328 - 29/07/2013 18:14:34 1446783 Link 0 |
