Replying To topdownfan: "Thanks for that" Seriously how do you feel this reply can justify your rantings - a guy who just started following football in 1998 by his own admission - is this really meant to prove your point of view - in all seriousness its probably a condition you can get treatment for and I would see about it soon before it takes over your life but I fear it may be too late for you - ATD (anti-Tyrone Disorder).

Replying To JayP: "O'Shea, not just today. He dives all game, every game and always in contact in the scoring zone. If he picks up the ball in his own half he bursts through contact. His dives are so obvious. Refs have to be aware of this. It's embarrassing. The size of him diving on the ground." In all fairness I have often seen O'Shea pulled and dragged out the field and no free was given because he is a big man. Oldtourman (Limerick) - Posts: 4525 - 09/07/2016 22:55:36 1879649 Link

Replying To westkerry: "I'm not defending OShea here but to the Tyrone boys McCann was trying to get a player sent off by feigning injury which I think is worse. I'd be looking at the man in the middle today, Not a popular guy in Kerry and seems to always be involved in controversy." Is it really though? A dive to get someone sent off or a dive to win what could be a match winning penalty? One as bad as the other in my eyes benched (Tyrone) - Posts: 534 - 09/07/2016 23:05:27 1879668 Link

Time O Shea got something, all he ever gets is abuse. culmore (None) - Posts: 1398 - 09/07/2016 23:25:43 1879701 Link
Replying To benched: "Is it really though? A dive to get someone sent off or a dive to win what could be a match winning penalty? One as bad as the other in my eyes" Back to the real reason for this post and not the Down mans agenda - just watched recording of post match analysis and Dessie Dolan said it wasn't a dive but "opportunism" - and it's been in the game forever and a day "time and time before" - there you go a great forward from a non-Ulster county admitting it's been in the game for a while and it's actually part of a forwards game. In fairness it's an Ulsterman Jarlath Burns saying O'Shea was wrong. IrishGael3 (USA) - Posts: 1092 - 09/07/2016 23:31:50 1879704 Link
Replying To benched: "Is it really though? A dive to get someone sent off or a dive to win what could be a match winning penalty? One as bad as the other in my eyes" They are both bad but feigning injury to get a man sent off is worse in my opinion. It's happened in Kerry as Seanie pointed out so it's not directed at Tyrone. westkerry (Kerry) - Posts: 1250 - 09/07/2016 23:34:16 1879706 Link

OK he definitely took a bit of a dive and should have got a yellow card but you cannot ban a guy for a yellow card offence. If the GAA want to eradicate diving then it should become a red card offence with an automatic ban. I think people are going way over the top here and I hope it doesn't damage O'Shea's reputatation as he is a great player. You have to feel sorry for Fermanagh as they played brilliant, hope they come again next year as they have a very good side. Remember they only lost to Donegal after giving away 2 goals at bad times. As for Mayo, I just can't see them doing anything this year. I actually thought they would win the All-Ireland this year. Green_Gold (Donegal) - Posts: 1932 - 10/07/2016 00:14:40 1879727 Link
Replying To culmore: "Time O Shea got something, all he ever gets is abuse." I agree totally that it's time he got something; he SHOULD have received a black or red for a second yellow today. Ulsterman (Antrim) - Posts: 9838 - 10/07/2016 00:49:41 1879744 Link
Replying To culmore: "Time O Shea got something, all he ever gets is abuse." anybody see fermanagh goal i taught it was a clear foul a push in the back that was plane to be seen but not a word about it all players playing for their county will do what ever it takes to win loook at dublin tyrone donegal kerry so to me aidan o shea is no different to any of the rest that has came before win at all cost thats what gets teams over the line mayo_123 (Mayo) - Posts: 251 - 10/07/2016 01:28:12 1879752 Link
Replying To topdownfan: "What's miss Down got to do with this, she not saying anything???" Good point- where is Miss Down? Your daughter is normally backing up your embarrassing posts. It is sad reply that the both of you spend so much time criticising another county after Down's annual early championship exit. Putting anti Tyrone songs on the web is certainly ''bunny boiler' material. All this from two people who have never kicked a ball in their lives!! 2setsofrules (Down) - Posts: 99 - 10/07/2016 07:48:47 1879771 Link
Unlucky to Fermanagh. The penalty that shouldn't have been was definitely the turning point. I notice the O'Shea Dive is the 6th story on the Irish Times online GAA and the Headline goes no further than 'Controversial Penalty'. Quite some difference to when Tyrone involved. Case closed on media bias. tyroneed (Tyrone) - Posts: 753 - 10/07/2016 08:27:28 1879776 Link
