Villa keeper Martinez was booked  in the  shootout , after having  been booked in the match

But the first yellow didnt carry over  into the shootout , so he continued to face penalties . Very strange rule

What if he was  booked a second time in the shootout? Would  the sub goalie come in? But what  if all the subs had been used up?

"It's not just the removal of the helmet though, it's if you've to stop the play to allow a physio on at all."

If I have to stop play.

Though if a physio comes on and can administer a spray while play continues I'm happy with that, should I have to blow the whistle and the player requires assistance they have to go off, now seeing as it was my first real go at it, I waved the player on rather than waiting for a break, he was genuinely hurt from a tackle from the other team, its a bit unfair surely to disadvantage them twice? 

But is that not wrong, going by them new rules?

Completely

Bitta common sense needs to be applied and while I'm not against following it to the letter, sometimes it's actually counterproductive and not serving the reason why it's introduced

The reason for the new rules is to prevent cynical playacting,  faking injuries to slow the game down like nicky quaid getting something in his eye last year.
If its genuine then it's harsh but if they're acting the bollox then I'd make them wait for the next break in play.

This rule was apparently amended during the week, to include the goalkeeper! Doesn't make much sense.

History won't look back on Klopps tenure as well as it should as the number of trophies is going to be dwarved by City which is a real shame

Akin to Dublin v any other county. Who really will give a shite?

Cavan team named.

No Killian Clarke, McLoughlin or McVeety in starting 15.

Would love to see Cavan win this but unfortunately I think Tyrone will win this by 8-10 points. Cavan struggle to score from open play and will struggle to keep all the Tyrone fires out.

Ie. Canavan, McCurry, McShane if he back on form.

Is it me or is there serious apathy about Tyrone at the moment? Game this weekend and zero chat about it or seems to be a lack of interest in it. Like most I wouldn't be surpised if Tyrone lost at the weekend as they are a team lacking a style of play or identity.
