Can anyone enlighten me as to what exactly Tomas O'Sé did to get the line? I've read the match report from 5 different national newspapers today and not one described what it is exactly he did to see red. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9169 - 22/07/2019 16:23:15 2214818 Link 0 |
From speaking to several supporters who were at the game they said all he did was push a lad in the back. supposedly very harsh

I think he struck out at McGlynn in the back of the head or around the shoulder blades. There wasn't a lot in it, have looked like a shove but right in front of ref.

Hit Donegal player on back of head. It was more a shove but the rules punish technical sins the same as malicious ones. I think he was hung as a lamb in this instance.

Would agree. His kickouts were excellent. His shot-stopping with his soccer background is also very good but that goal yesterday will sicken him. Should have done better. Overall he has been exceptional this year though and can improve more.

Bit harsh Donegal_Abroad. When they're hit low like that its hard enough for keepers to get down. It was stronger than it looked, usually forwards from that distance won't get the ball that low. It was lovely technique from Geaney to keep it down like that, my prediction for his comeback to form was one game early. Maybe Patton could have got down better but I wouldn't knock him too much for it Patton has been in great form, his kickouts are up there with Cluxton and Beggan. He adds that extra bit of stability in a part of the game that has become crucial now to give teams a platform to start attacks from / retain possession. I think only one of his long kick outs were turned over yesterday. keithlemon (Australia) - Posts: 920 - 22/07/2019 16:54:36 2214833 Link 0 |
Kerry defenders had stopped playing by the time the ball went into the net as the ref had blown the whistle. When there is a clash of heads the ref is obliged to stop the game immediately no matter who is about to do what and in what minute of whatever important or nothing game it is.

He got a hand to it but couldn't keep it out. The cause of it was two Donegal men fumbling the ball and colliding before so Geaney managed To get hold of it and got through on goal. Opportunistic is what it was and unfortunately it's the goalie will get more of the blame when that happens.

I had a careful look at the clip. I agree that O Brien did 'move forward' but what is the significance of that? So, both players were moving forward and were involved in a head-on collision, literally. Surely, the ref should be fairly sure before giving a penalty? Poor ref anyway, as demonstrated by the Sunday game. Incidentally, that was an odd discussion on SG re the penalty: no opinions as to whether or not it was penalty.

I guess it's because I rate Patton so highly that I found it a disappointment, but listen he's unreal and one of our main men now. At such a young age too it's wonderful for us.

So did I and I would revise my opinion to a stone wall peno.. Kerry defender asks 'is it a peno?' to ref, his reaction would have been much more defiant were he innocent. Fellow defenders likewise. Obaoil drops ball to take shot, which he is entitled to do, he isn't ch in this instance.

This discussion shows just how tough a job the ref has. We have people watching it back changing opinion and people who still can't decide. What chance has a ref got in real time of getting all these calls right. My initial reaction in real time was oh s*it penno. Watching back could make an argument against however if it was the other end I'd be screaming penno! reithi (Kerry) - Posts: 52 - 22/07/2019 19:42:25 2214928 Link 1 |

Would be interesting to know how many started the All Ireland minor final played yesterday too.

Of the 2011/2012 Mayo team, how many of them featured this season in Championship for Mayo?

Off the top of my head for us I'd say McMenamin & Brennan, then McGonagle and Diver were on the bench. Eoghan Ban played in that final as well of course. You have lads then like Kieran Gillespie injured, plus Mulligan and Carroll who have dropped off the senior panel. Stephen McBrearty is another lad who will possibly feature in senior colours in the future. Ethan O'Donnell perhaps as well. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9169 - 22/07/2019 21:05:48 2214971 Link 0 |
I know every team has it tight from here on in but was just considering Donegal's likely path to win this year's All Ireland since super 8s began. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9169 - 22/07/2019 21:09:23 2214972 Link 1 |
I actually seen the penalty incident back domegalman and I don't know what O'Brien was supposed to do ? He had to stand his ground,? And is it not the attacking players responsibility to go around the defender or else it's barging surely? As for the guy who said Steve head butted the Donegal player, who headbutts people with their mouths? KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 22/07/2019 21:20:13 2214976 Link 0 |
