Just seen the replays. I feel he did make a meal of it. No contact to the head however he held his head as if it was. I remember he was involved in an incident in the league against Tyrone with Mark Bradley and he hit the deck after instigating a row. Duscuss.

Was he caught at speed by an arm from McManus to the head area? It's clear that he was and was entitled to go down. It was a clear yellow card offence. He seemed genuinely shook and still down for a while after the card was issued. This was no hair toss issue. Mountain out of a mole hill.

Yea made a meal of it!!! waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 06/08/2017 23:17:44 2029988 Link
Are posters really insinuating that there was no contact???? DannyMcA (Dublin) - Posts: 260 - 06/08/2017 23:18:54 2029989 Link
Replying To SaffronDon: "are you going to pollute the air with more bs ffs? just call it what it was for a change, pathetic!" How about answering the question like a good lad? Did McManus catch him high to the head area with an arm? It's not a difficult question. If Cooper dived then the analysts and commentators on RTE ignored it. Very unlike them when it comes to the Dubs. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 06/08/2017 23:20:26 2029991 Link

It was an awful dive by Jonny cooper and not a word on the Sunday game about it. Jonny is good at running into fellas and getting them booked, remember Seamus O'Shea in 2015 and Brendan Murphy this year just to name a few.

Replying To DannyMcA: "Are posters really insinuating that there was no contact????" I can't believe anyone would say that McManus did not catch Cooper in the head area with a swinging arm. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 06/08/2017 23:22:05 2029993 Link
Replying To waynoI: "Yea made a meal of it!!!" Thank god for an honest post. Have Tyrone players hit the deck easily? Yes. At least you have the balls to go against the grain and admit he acted. I can see a torrent of abuse!! The_Fridge (Tyrone) - Posts: 2088 - 06/08/2017 23:25:21 2029998 Link
Replying To DannyMcA: "Are posters really insinuating that there was no contact????" Big difference in contact and acting as if he got hit on the head. He wasn't hit on the head. There was contact on the head area. Just like the Mark Bradley incident in the league...faked been hit. Got man booked/sent off. The_Fridge (Tyrone) - Posts: 2088 - 06/08/2017 23:28:37 2030000 Link
Exaggerated contact in my opinion. Happens all the time, be it to win a free or in an instance like Cooper and McManus. It's part of the game. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13705 - 06/08/2017 23:28:56 2030001 Link

Its not a dive as McManus had a puck and there was contact and the card he received was correct. But Jonny made an absolute meal of it, he should have got straight back up, dont have anytime for that messing so wont condone it. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 06/08/2017 23:39:40 2030010 Link

McManus threw Cooper aside by pushing him around the shoulder/neck. It did not merit the theatrics from Cooper. SaffronDon (Antrim) - Posts: 2385 - 06/08/2017 23:45:23 2030013 Link
Def made a meal of the contact But considering Kingdomboy up there was accusing Connolly out for "man handling" an official It's funny to see his attitude now considering McManus made much greater contact jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 06/08/2017 23:49:54 2030016 Link
About the only meaningful action that McManus made across the entire game Dubs had him in their pocket. No wonder he was throwing a frustrated arm back jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 06/08/2017 23:52:32 2030018 Link
There was contact and a meal was made, don't like it and thankfully we're not in the habit of doing it. Over all it was a nothing incident and didn't affect the game. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8586 - 06/08/2017 23:57:22 2030021 Link
Replying To DannyMcA: "Are posters really insinuating that there was no contact????" The type of contact one would get playing with your 3 year old child. KK1926 (Kilkenny) - Posts: 175 - 07/08/2017 00:05:32 2030025 Link
Replying To jimbodub: "Def made a meal of the contact But considering Kingdomboy up there was accusing Connolly out for "man handling" an official It's funny to see his attitude now considering McManus made much greater contact" Number 1 Jim , McManus didn't man handle a linesman. Number 2 Jim , Ciaran branagan didn't run and barge into Connolly. So they are very different incidents and des Cahill should have brought it up for discussion tonight.
