What more do the critics want.
That game had everything.

Seems a load of Tyrone people want frees not to be awarded against teams playing Derry because at some point, possibly not even in the same game, a Derry man might have got away with a foul.

Off the ball and raised forearm. Clear red.

Very, very unlike him but there's no getting away from it, regardless of whether he was provoked or the Derry man made a meal of it.

As for Small, I have absolutely no idea what he did, but he definitely deserved to see red. Family tradition. Johnny Cooper should have walked as well.

Good to see Derry not getting carried away at the end either. Great game, intense and ferocious, must be a real joy to come out on the right side of it. However, it's only league and I think it's important that they know that. They've much bigger ambitions, and rightly so.

Jesus a punch to the stomach or the goolies all hurts which is why the red mist.

One hurts significantly more than the other, therefore trying to claim it was the more painful of the two is nonsense, where the presumed intent is simply to try and legitimise Fenton's stupid reaction.

[It was in the goolies]

Stupid for Fenton but is a closed fist tackle not a red?
Great ending

You get tackled like that 10 times a game, no idea what he's reacting to.

It was in the goolies. Hence the red mist. But wouldn't have been a red card but for the overreaction to it. Didn't matter in the end anyway.

No it wasn't.

Was it not a square ball before the goal? I didn't get a second look at it.

Ball came in from play, so no.

Nah, that's the sort of slap you take umpteen times a day. Stupid and so unlike him to react like that.

Idiotic from Fenton.

Phantom free. FFS guys wise up

His right arm comes round and hits the ball. Yer man knew Glass had  the legs so he went down looking the free

Pity he used his left hand to push him in the back.

Another phantom free on Glass

Nah, he pushed him needlessly for that one as he tried to play the ball.

Awful f**king around by Derry all the same

No free there whatsoever

Some incredible diving from Con today.

Watched the second half of that. Hard to describe how awful United were. If they'd managed to hold onto it, that would have been one of the biggest PL smash and grabs I've ever seen.

if assembly goes down again could anyone be arsed with listening nolan and crawley talking every day abou twhen it will be back up again.

The rent a mob crowd of "commentators" like David McCann, Alex Kane and Suzanne Breen will be happy anyway

I find Gareth Gordon the pick of the current bunch.  Comes across as down to earth and well informed.
