Regardless of how he arrived at the decision, the replay clearly shows that it was the correct one and that's all that matters.
Don't know what there is to yap about.

He was yapping that the 65 was not taken behind the 65 yard line! It was taken a yard inside it. He told the linesman and the 3rd official and they decided not to intervene. Still petty!

Added to ignore, you're some dose

you know he is the WUM in cheif, Eire og, Kerry for Sam, Armagh 18, southe dublin bro, plus many others.
He has single handidly gone a long way to F*ucking up a serious GAA Blog.
Shame on moderators.
For the past 7-10 years, I would be inclined to come on here to see opinions on games V read the newspapers after a game. Not any more.
A lot of well minded bloggers unfortunately have done likewise.

Fergie won a league with 75 points in 1996–97. Newcastle were 2nd with 68.

Could quite easily see Pep leaving as well.

Pep has a new Manager in Arteta to burn off every season. And eventually burn out!

Arsen stayed the pace... these young managers struggle nowadays

Arséne won his first title with 78 points. He would have finished 4th in this years League.

So the Klopp era ends with a win. As a neutral I've admired him greatly. Liverpool are a completely different club now compared to the one he took over.
What a job he has done for them.

An unbelievable manager. Will leave a huge void at the club. I wonder would he return as manager in a few years?

Probably return if Pep leaves I feel

Previous to that, Derry's shooting was brutal. How many did they kick into the keeper's hands? It's shocking at that level. Do they not do shooting at training? - doesn't look like it from today's show.

It was a trait of Mickey's Tyrone teams in the last few years, so many shots dropping short. And interesting too after the 2021 AI Tyrone players saying they now had a freedom to shoot and weren't inhibited as they had been previously. Micro management isn't a good thing.

People saying again Tyrone folk are ungrateful to Mickey. I'm hugely grateful to him for his immense contribution to Tyrone GAA. That doesn't mean he's free from scrutiny. He stayed on a few years too long and ultimately held Tyrone back. As for Louth, that was a good gig for both parties. An underachieving county got a big name figurehead to get behind and he made some notable gains but handy gains, they were potentially much better than their initial situation suggested. The big task was going to be keeping it going and trying to progress further when they got to something like their natural level. Didn't really get to see that properly with Mickey.

Said a few times that Mickey in his last decade with Tyrone struggled to get the right attacking balance and to win big games. In that respect it was an interesting appointment for a Derry team trying to get the balance between attack and defence right and to win big games. It became even more interesting when McGuinness went back to Donegal then got that win over Derry, given McGuinness basically broke Mickey the previous decade. Lots of questions with the appointment and still waiting for conclusive answers.
