On the Sludden incident. Geaney was very sneaky how he did that. I don't think any other refs would have had any other conclusion. I think it was too sneaky to be caught by anything other than tv.

He should have told the two of them to get the feck up and play on. He clearly seen nothing so shouldn't have booked anyone.

Con O'callaghan was left on for 10 mins after a heavy blow to the head yesterday. When he eventually did come off he puked his guts up on the sideline. Remind me what vomiting is a symptom of again?

He got a nasty (but deserved) belt in the guts. I'd say that was it.

It was shortly after the elbow to the ribs in fairness that caused him to vomit. Can only have been a sympathy decision based on the scoreboard by the linesman/ref not to send him off.

Meh. He didn't get a belt for being a good boy if you watch it. He's a big boy and well fit to dish it out and take it.

As for the claim O'Brien should get off, absolute nonsense. That last tackle should see him miss the final entirely in its own merits.

Catch yourself on. Was harmless tackle you'd swear he boxed the head off someone. Hope he gets off.

Did you say the same after Sean cavanagh tackle??

Yes actually to be honest. Man did what he had to do. You'd rather him do that than have allowed the man through on goal and would fully hope and expect any Armagh player would do the same in that situation. Anyone who says different is talking out of their arse. Although O'Briens today was just stupid, man wasn't going to get a goal but better safe than sorry.

How can he get off?

He can get one of the earlier black cards overturned. Todays was obviously stonewall.

Tyrone should have had penalty too. Not a Tyrone fan in the slightest but ref was awful. Kerry's antics were a disgrace.

When should they have had a oenalty

Peter Harte goal chance. He was been held.

Na he just fluffed it.

We can't beat a good team.

Or indeed, an average one.

Were does that leave armagh?

It wasn't a snide comment. Merely an observation. Kerry are average.

Neither was mine... genuine question???

Definitely top 12, possibly top 10 in Ireland vs Tyrone being top 5. Not really claiming to be anything more.

Deegan won't be holidaying in Tyrone this year.

I hate Tyrone with a passion.
But even I have to admit Deegan is absolutely biased.
Dreadful, simply dreadful.

At what point can you question if the ref is simply against you. Repeat of 2015 all over again

Must be Northern teams because he rode us too vs Mayo.

[the give away for the goal.]

Bitterly disappointed we really had kerry were we wanted And should have seen it out.
Deegan was held bent on making this about himself and the dream final, a complete disgrace.
In saying that the wides early on in the 2nd half lost it and the give away for the goal.
Rte rubbing salt in the wounds by giving the black card hero man of the match

Don't forget the stray pass which ended up a goal for Kerry

Reading an issue in armagh too?

Ouch. Salty.

O'Brien sounds pretty confident that he will get off one of the black cards anyway. Unsurprisingly.

Deservedly. Daftest rule ever created.

Kerry deserving winners and I thought it was a better game than most others here seem to have viewed it. Deegan gave Kerry a few soft frees but don't think you could argue he was the difference at all. Kerry took over in the second half and won because Tyrone's system is not good enough against the tope teams if they play it right. I was surprised Kerry were so poor in the first half and carried so much down the middle, that's the last thing you do, especially with isolated carriers. They showed more patience and picked the holes in the second half.


Hard to know how Kerry will do in the final. Their defence will hardly hold up against the Dubs.

Tyrone lost by 3 points. Kerry got at least 3 non frees, mcshane didn't get a clear free at the other which resulted in kerry goal. Def ref impacted the came. Key had 2 non frees given in first 5 min of 2nd half even commentators questioned them

Don't know what you were watching but the goal came from a shite handpass. The ref did ride yas but can't blame him there.

Maybe bitter here but 3-4 gifted frees from ref kept Kerry in the game for 2nd time since 2015. Only consolation is that he wont ref the final and kerry will be destroyed

Ref was woeful for both teams but yeah gave Kerry more. Don't know how he was allowed back to a championship game after his performance in Castlebar when we played Mayo.

Deegan should never be allowed another game outside Junior B. Although better team won on the day. Scary to think what Mannion and O'Callaghan will do to that defence though if they don't tighten up.

Where is the sweeper for Kerry playing?

Must have been in sweeping the changing rooms that half.

Diving Tyrone ****. Good job he didn't touch his hair.
