I really think you need a therapist - I've seen diving at Croker in the early 90's in a game that Tyrone wasn't even in - does Peter, McCann et the whole of Tyrone get the blame for that - just check your posts over the years it baltantly obvious you and MissDown whoever she is - has an anti-Tyrone agenda that's so obvious it's unreal - it's bunny boiling stuff and very scary.

Sure Mick O' Dwyer said your great side of the 60's were a dirty shower if so and so's. Said yez were very good at the oul cynical side of stuff like slowing the game down and giving oul dirty hits of the ball etc etc. So we'll just go ahead now and give your county the honour of being the team that introduced cynicism into the game.

Well sure stop teasing us and spit it out ffs then at least we'll understand where yer coming from. We had a thread on here a few weeks ago wherein many of us shared personal experiences on addiction and mental health etc. We're all very understanding on her ye know. Let's be hearing Ye now.

I started following football in 1998 and I dont remember seeing any diving until Tyrone played Kerry in the 2003 semi final.

You are deluded and embarrassing yourself with every post. Down used to be called the aristoCATS now it seems you are just CATTY meow.

Replying To TheMaster:  "Im not claiming he didnt look for the penalty, im simply putting it into context.

I was very critical of oshea ofter the galway game, more critical than most actually. But he is being made a scapegoat here and it isnt right. Yes the guy went to ground - its a common thing in football these days and every team does it, including your own. I recall mcmahon pretending to have been struck in the face last year against none other than o'shea. Maybe he picked up a few tricks from him?

Up the other end of the pitch i recall a fermanagh player throwing himself to the deck and winning a foul off seamus o'shea that was kicked over the bar. Why isnt there the same reaction to that? It was no less dishonest.

Part of me is actually pleased with the reaction here. The dubs are out in force, the rossies too and also tyrone. Good, it shows they are still worried about us."
'S O'Sea tripped Jones for that free, accidentally I would think although Jones seemed to be getting past him and in on goal.

I'm not denying it mate cos you're not wrong!I am capable of being objective about our team and players unlike a lot of you people on here. I know some of our players have done these things and I was practically the first to castigate Mc Cann on here last year along with many other Tyrone posters. Some of you seem to think your teams are saintly beyond reproach,well they're not and yez need to know that when yer mouthing off about other teams and their personnel.

Explain that dive(s) Carter - from what the Kerry fans said that day was Tyrone were a dirty bunch who crowded them and they couldn't play their football - don't recall any diving that day. In fact Dara OShea in an interview said that what they experienced that day was nothing like like any intensity they had ever experienced and they had to adopt their game afterwards - but heh don't let the facts get in the way of a good story.

That's the first time I ever heard that. It's always been "blanket defense" and "puke football" since then. Commentary like "they're like a pack of ravenous wolves/dogs" lol. This is a new angle on that game.

Dosent matter what went before but Aidan O Sheas was a clear dive but the referee was pure stupid to buy it and where were the other officials? Or did the ref decide to hog the decision and not go for a second opinion. Isn't that what a fourth official is for? A second opinion.

I said in another thread today before this incident happened that O'Shea was diving, Cillian O'Connor does it too, jes it's like watching bunnys hopping it's so obvious,both of them then mouthing at the ref trying to boss the game, if this was an Ulster team can you imagine the trype coming from the southern media,
Diving is cheating and it has no place in our games, it has to be stamped out, video analysis and bans imposed, that might stamp it out,

I'll tell you one thing, it will be a long time till Sam is in Mayo going by todays performance, looks like the wheels are coming off the Mayo cart bigtime.

Replying To waynoI:  "Wouldn't have thought many tweets would get through the oul censorship on here to be fair.

Absolutely slaughtering O'Shea and McQuillan.

Completely over the top some of the slaggins both are getting.

Yeah it was bad, yea it was poor sportsmanship on O'Sheas part, Yea it was a chronic decision, But its just sport, Whatever we think at the end of theday, there are more important things in life than sport.

Ive no doubt O'Shea, will regret his actions, but will be happy Mayo are through.

McQuillan on the other hand would not have set out to make such a bad call.

People need to relax a bit.

It was bad on all parts. But that's sport. Its an ugly side of sport but sport nonetheless.

For what its worth, I don't think Fermanagh deserved to go through based on their performance in the second half. They only scored 2 points and conceded 1-10.

On the other side of the coin though, by god they worked hard.

Its tough for them, But penalty or not, For me, Mayo win that game. All the momentum was with them, Fermanagh weren't gtting out of their half of the field. Mayo would have won anyway. I know its no consolation but ... whatever."
Having seen their lead wiped out, Fermanagh had driven forward and taken the lead again with 6 minutes to go. Had O'Sea got his second yellow for simulation (he actually should have had a second yellow earlier) it is quite conceivable that Fermanagh could have held on. They had to go for goals after that but showed plenty of fight despite the spoiling tactics adopted by Mayo but, of course, left themselves open to the counter attacks.

I cursed O'Shea at the time but if it was the other way around I would have been saying fair play as I was up for the underdog!

One thing people are very quick to ignore also is the amount of foul play off the ball by defenders that goes unpunished! A bit of foul play the other way and people are up in arms.

There's diving in every team, Westmeath included - its part of the game so O'Shea is just one of many
