I have great time for Kerry and Kerry people - but if Meath winning Sunday would shut KM up ... I'd take that any day

People here seem to have decided that Miskella definitely punched McGuigan.
I think there is at least reasonable doubt looking at the only video angle available (if there is another please post a link).
My money is on Miskella playing the final.
i doubt very much that any video from any angle would cast any doubt that miskilla struck mcguigan
Well if McGuigan hadn't hit him with a cheap shot first it wouldn't have happened...

Bannon defended
25 August 2009
National Referee's Committee chairman Michael Curley has defended John Bannon's decision to send off Cork's Alan O'Connor in last Sunday's All-Ireland semi-final against Tyrone.
The Longford official has come under fire for dismissing the big midfielder on a second yellow card in the 29th minute of Cork's 1-13 to 0-11 victory at Croke Park.
"The decision was made by John based purely on where he was standing at the time," Curley said in the Irish Examiner.
"From where he saw it, it looked like there had been an offence and that combined with the manner in which the Tyrone player (Owen Mulligan) fell to the ground.
"It was a reasonable call for John to make at the time, in real time. I have had experience of that situation myself. If you are standing at one angle you see it one way and you see it differently from another."
Meanwhile, John Miskella could find out as early as today whether he faces any further disciplinary action for an incident involving Brian McGuigan's in the 54th minute of Sunday's game.
The Ballincollig wing back escaped with only a yellow card after TV cameras clearly captured the defender striking McGuigan off-the-ball, and he faces the prospect of missing the All-Ireland final if the CCCC decides to issue him with a retrospective four-week ban.
Does anyone else feel annoyed that the Ref's chairman seems to be trying to bring Mulligan into the his explanation for a poor performance by Bannon? Whether Mulligan made the most of it or not is irrelvant IMO. It's the ref's job to make these calls and it's pathetic to try to shift blame onto a player.
Mick Curley was on the Jimmy Magee show, RTE radio 1 at half six on Sunday evening and he refused to comment on the incident with o'Connor as he said that it was policy not to make any comment as players might be invloved in appeals etc. Fair enough answer. But now that he has had time to think about it, he now feels that it's ok to comment and to apportion the blame to Mulligan. Mick Curley should not feel that his job is to defend referees at all costs and in this case, defend the indefensible.
BTW, as a result of Bannon's very poor performance and the attention given to the poor performance by the media etc, John Miskella can unfortunately expect 4 weeks which is regretable as he will miss one of the biggest games of his life.
Quote from: Mike Sheehy on August 23, 2009, 09:57:46 PMEVERYONE was complaining about the ref after the gameQuoteYeah probably be wanting the rules changed and crying like a beeeatch about being bullied off the pitch, maybe coining some slanderous catch-phrases about the other teams style of play?
Oh no, wait that's another county right?
No doubt he'll be making excuses about Cavanagh not playing..... and someone mentioned he was complaining about the ref after the game.
..or maybe he'll just blame the International rules

There was one when Dooher went to ground. But I cant remember any other instance.
I was shocked at how many times the ref let players got away dragging their opponents around the neck (Is this tackling?!). We really needed to bring in the experimental rules from the league.
The fee that led to Jordan's point, should have been a free out to Cork
I also felt the point that Davy Harte got at the death, after the initial free was blocked, was a harsh call.
As for Tyrone free taking, would SON not have been a better option than Mulligan, even for right footed kicks? And on the subject of '50s', is my mind playing tricks with me, or didn't one of the McMahons knock over a couple of '50s' last year?
Quote from: botman on August 24, 2009, 03:24:28 PMexactly,prtob time to bring in a bit of freshness to the squad, but not major surgery.On saturday evening most of these fellas you are talking about were among the top footballers in ireland, that doesnt just change after one game.there may be retirements yes, but not wholesale changesQuote from: DCR on August 23, 2009, 09:34:21 PM
Has Mickey's loyalty to the "auld hands" cost us against Cork? - thought that Gormley, Jordan, Harte and the entire half forward line were absolutely brutal - time for fairly major surgery I fear.
Think you are being very unfair here. These guys Dooher, Jordan, Harte etc have put in some major performances for Tyrone and are the reason we have achieved so much. To turn around and say they cost us would be very short sighted. Yes they didn't have their best game in a Tyrone shirt but at the same time it doesn't make them bad players. We need to remember where this same group of guys have taken us from.
Don't be tempted to throw the baby out with the bath water. On reflection we were beaten by Cork the team likely to win the AI so perhaps some tinkering but major surgery is completely OTT.

Ronan Mc Nabb last year's minor captain should also be considered to make the step up to senior inter-county level next season
