Sheehan was behind a lot of the nonsense today. CCCC should look at his behaviour, it was a disgrace and he provoked a lot of Donegal fellas. Ulsterman (Antrim) - Posts: 9837 - 06/03/2016 21:40:16 1831491 Link 0 |
Agreed that the ref had a job on his hands but in truth the players know the refs and which of them are strong on discipline or afraid to send off 2,3 or 4 players. If "ALL" referees by some miraculous means managed to interpret the rules in the same way it would be the death knell for the crap we saw today and in fairness to some extent every day. Referees can bang on all they want about player indiscipline but in truth , you reap what you sow. ponga (Mayo) - Posts: 658 - 06/03/2016 21:40:32 1831492 Link 0 |

Both teams fairly lost the run of themselves alright. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13837 - 07/03/2016 08:28:59 1831522 Link 0 |
Ok a wild load of crap being talked here about the ref taking action. Yes a Red was giving at the end of the first fracus but nothing was done about what started it. THIS IS THE MAIN PROBLEM. Donaghy should have been given a yellow straight away. No need to be wasting time. dstuction (Donegal) - Posts: 1209 - 07/03/2016 08:43:30 1831529 Link 0 |

McGee Deserves a ban for messing with Fitz fingers but where do you stop if you bring in subsequent bans on a game like that where up to 10 players (just estimating) should have seen the line either for starting a row or retaliating.

There is an undercurrent of bad feeling between the two teams. Going back as far as 2012 words were exchanged between the players as they went down the tunnel at half time in the quarter final. Galvin even referenced it in his book. Then we had the final in 2014 and while it passed off without much incident I know Donegal feel it's one we left behind. Last year's league game was fairly spicy as well from what i can remember of it. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9954 - 07/03/2016 10:08:47 1831582 Link 0 |
I cant remember a game where Ciarrai used their fists as much before.......i think they even scored four or five fisted points for good measure. kikfada (Louth) - Posts: 2091 - 07/03/2016 10:11:05 1831589 Link 0 |

The initial incident with Donaghy was a strange one and definately deserved a yellow but given that the whistle had gone for a free I dont think the ref could have given a black card for intensionally bringing Murphy to ground. Thats my understanding of the current rules. dstuction (Donegal) - Posts: 1209 - 07/03/2016 11:55:06 1831683 Link 0 |
Ulsterman has yet to make any mention of a Donegal player breaking someone's fingers, and that was the worst incident of a game littered with terrible incidents (Kerry were certainly worse IMO). Treaty_Exile (Limerick) - Posts: 386 - 07/03/2016 11:56:04 1831685 Link 0 |
It was disgraceful in Tralee. Kerry obviously were out to ruffle Donegal feathers and break their concentration. It worked and we have the GAA being hammered all over the media today. A rather amusing side was O'Mahoney's 'tough-man' barging of McAloon along the sideline and then crying to the ref when the Donegal man was foolish enough to react and give him a slap. Some hard-man indeed. neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 07/03/2016 11:57:24 1831687 Link 0 |
Fine both County boards.Watching Gaelic football at the moment is becoming like a love hate relationship.Donegals earlier games where free flowing and good to watch as where the games involving Dublin.Against Mayo we were continually trying to bully officals and then Kerry and Donegal went at it big time yesterday. ifindoubt (Donegal) - Posts: 133 - 07/03/2016 12:02:45 1831701 Link 0 |
