So no one knows the rules around adding time?

None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Quote from: tyrone08 on April 21, 2024, 06:21:07 PMHow the hell is it a free out when 3 players are kneeing on you. Goldrick is a complete balloon
I'd go get your eyesight checked if I were you. The ref won it for you

He gave Cavan more time than they should have got at the end for them to try and get an equaliser.
He didn't even play enough time to cover the wasting at the last Morgan free lad...

From  when the free  was awarded to Morgan kicking  it  was roughly a minute. Ref played  about 45 seconds  over the 2 minutes , so  technically 15 seconds short.

But aren't players  allowed the 15 seconds to kick a free? So that evens it out
If the ref thought Morgan took too long then he would've cancelled the free, not added on 20 seconds at the end.

I can forgive Donegal for beating Derry as long as they beat Armagh in the final.

Donegal have poked the bear and Derry will come back stronger.

Thats as good a weekends football as there has been in a while.

Is there as much wrong with the game as is made out?

As much as I got it right about Jim Mcguinness having something up his sleeve with Donegal.

I'll have to admit I was wrong on Cavan. Game was going more or less how I expected it with Tyrone 8 points up. But a unbelievable turnaround by Cavan which I would never had expected.

If they had that bit more belief from the start they'd have pulled it off.

So Armagh and Donegal in the final, ffs I have tickets for Armagh against Down, is that cancelled?

Alot comparing about Hampsey but replays show it was correct, the other cornerback probably should picked up 1 do. Big worry for Tyrone is they seem very disjointed.  That 2 years running, coughing up good leads when well in control. I still think they better players than Donegal but they very organised, Tyrone aren't.

Tyrone played more as individuals. When they weee put under some pressure in the 2nd half they didn't pull together as a unit and lacked leaders to close out the game. It shows what the team has the potential to do. But whether it's a lack of confidence by the players or lack of game management by the sideline I don't know. The reality is that in patches they can play some nice football. But seem to lack consistency too much to be a threat unfortunately.

I genuinely have no idea. If you extra time is 10 minutes a half does that mean that when 2 mins extra time is played 7 would have been played had it been a 35 minute half?

Refs rarely blow  for frees taking too long , especially  with goalkeepers coming  all the way up the field.

Countdown  clock like the ladies game , is badly badly needed

Ruggers I think is better Cavan basically had that today,game over go for it, they faffed about, ref little option but to blow, ffs pump it in what was there to lose, the fear of defeat is shocking in the modern game.

Tyrone and Donegal an interesting one, Donegal will surely not allow the Canavans and McCurry freedom of the park like Cavan did. And Donegal have better forwards than Cavan. Full credit to Cavan for dragging themselves back into that.

Well just home and haven't watched anything back on TV yet. I thought in extra time we had a free or two we should've got but didn't but the overcarrying by o rourke was correct call. Wasn't his fault though as he was isolated and got no help. From a Cavan perspective we have to look at how we set up in 1st half, playing that cagey shite that Tyrone love. Gave them an 8 point lead and then started to play. We need to go for it from the start. A proud effort from the lads that just came up short

Very disappointed that Coldrick on I think 3 occasions did not follow the rules and ask "injured" Tyrone players to go to the line. No excuse for that.

Crazy that Tyrone are expected to play donegal in 7 days.

Can't see Tyrone getting near Donegal especially given extra time today.

Agree with last sentence but how else can the GAA franchise rent out Croke Park for huge profits in August, player welfare my arse.

Donegal will be shown to be not that great. They got 3 goals from a smart tactical move on kick outs. I don't think that will happen. I think Armagh would beat them should they meet in the final
