He done it twice and then looked puzzled when the red produced the red. FoolsGold (Cavan) - Posts: 2763 - 10/07/2021 20:42:39 2358398 Link 0 |
I think the referee had a bad game today. He let some high tackles and blatant fouls go and he penalised for other more minor offences. I hope he watches that match again and notes his mistakes so that he won't do the same again the next match he referees. border Gael (Monaghan) - Posts: 894 - 10/07/2021 20:45:35 2358402 Link 0 |
McGuinness wasn't in touch with Gough so what he said had nothing to do with anything that happened in the game. You're talking rubbish and won't discuss it because you haven't a leg to stand on. As I posted, go way and learn the rules.

And while I am at it Quinlivans straight red was no red either in the Tipp, Kerry game, the Kerry player succeeded in getting him sent off. mhunicean_abu (Monaghan) - Posts: 1044 - 10/07/2021 21:41:03 2358415 Link 3 |

He is one of the best Refs in the country if not the best and there are many poor ones. The way the game id ref'ed the lines men /umpires are the ones that get most players red carded and unfortunately common sense is not very common in most aspects of life.

McCurry is far from the real deal. Never produces it on the big day. tirawleybaron (Mayo) - Posts: 1133 - 10/07/2021 23:57:41 2358456 Link 0 |
Enjoyed the first half, Cavan started well but couldn't keep up the pressure needed on the Tyrone kickouts, Cavan's shooting let them down then but they had some great individual performances too, hard to know how that team ended up in div 4, Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 2757 - 11/07/2021 09:47:36 2358477 Link 0 |
But he will. He's a player that plays on the edge in most games. Always getting involved in things like this and loves giving the bird to the fans. No wile sympathy for him.

I actually think he got the red card call right (he had no choice really as you could clearly see him repeat the word 'striking'). There are certainly some very poor ones, and Gough will always be held in high regard by the armchair neutral as he let's the game flow. But it must be infuriating to be a player. He is so inconsistent. And he penalises a player who carries into contact whether they foul the ball or not. You'd understand if a manager did that in a training match to teach lads a lesson, but it's not a foul to get caught in possession. He should be giving players the chance to get the pass away. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5017 - 11/07/2021 10:11:34 2358485 Link 5 |
It is a foul if you get caught in possession and hold on to the ball too long as a result. Nowhere in the rules is there a provision to give players a chance to "get the pass away". Is that not the point of tackling to deny the opposition possession and movement? No fan of DG but this craic of penalising defenders for doing a good job is a major weakness in the game.

Trolling?? I'm not to well up on social media lingo so if you consider me passionately expressing a view that the game is losing its manliness, where there is a growing trend of players looking for frees, throwing themselves on the ground, diving, cheating, then trolling it is and trolling it will be. I have consistently expressed that view no matter who was playing. Had I said that last years victory was a fluke, aided by a Monaghan referee in the Athletic Grounds, or something like a wasted generation of Cavan footballers finishing out their careers in Div 4/3, or enjoy your trips to London etc etc, that would be my idea of trolling, but I usually leave that sort of stuff to others mhunicean_abu (Monaghan) - Posts: 1044 - 11/07/2021 11:50:11 2358523 Link 1 |
Cavan were very good for the opening 25 minutes but seemed to run out of steam. On the flip side Tyrone look very fit and never looked in bother after half time. Darren McCurry was unreal, what a fantastic player. I was impressed with Tyrone, the two midfielders looked good. Green_Gold (Donegal) - Posts: 1876 - 11/07/2021 12:02:19 2358528 Link 0 |
But he blew the whistle before the attacker fouled the ball. .that's my point. He didn't even signal what foul he was giving it for (over carrying, playing the ball on the ground, etc). I'm all for rewarding good defending, but if the referee is making up his own rules, then the players suffer. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5017 - 11/07/2021 12:44:04 2358539 Link 4 |
Best leave it to others alright. . Barry Cassidy is from Derry for a start. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5017 - 11/07/2021 12:48:09 2358541 Link 4 |
Fair enough. Was there a specific incident(s) of this yesterday as an example? On the game itself, I couldn't fathom how MGraham started a novice on McCurry, or indeed how he started Conor Moynagh at all. Gearoid McKiernan was way off the pace but could have been put at FF Worth saying also that it would be a pity if yesterday was the last appearance of Martin Reillyn in a blue jersey. He is by some distance Cavans greatest servant over the last decade. A class act. Eddie the Exile (Monaghan) - Posts: 1064 - 11/07/2021 13:58:39 2358555 Link 0 |
A shame that he got involved. No fists involved, a hand off to the face twice. The Cavan player didn't go down in fairness or pretend to be injured. It's the old rule, if you raise your hand above an opponent's chest level you are forcing the ref to make a decision.. Disappointing for a player of his experience.

Agree with all you say on yesterday's game. Tho, in fairness, McCurry hasn't done that before and I'll wager he'll never do it again. The incident which stood out most was one he gave against Donaghy in the 2nd half. Good cavan tackling, but Donaghy did nothing wrong and had a free given against him. And we cry out for forwards to take on their man. Why would you? cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5017 - 11/07/2021 15:43:56 2358608 Link 4 |
I have to laugh at the Donegal lads 'bigging up' Tyrone. Tyrone are absolutely awful.

Of course he's done it before, he beat Kerry on his own a couple of years back.
