The Sunday Game

MMA hyperbole alert. He grabbed someone who was attacking him by the legs to make him fall over. A fairly basic and instinctive thing to do.

Problem is there is no rule that allows self defence- even if you think that is what he was doing

What rule is there against grabbing a players legs?

Deliberate trip...black card 

Exactly, not a red card offence.

Somebody said here lifting a man up by the legs and taking him down not dangerous, it's one of the most dangerous things in fball, you actually rarely see see it, red many a time in rubgy if the lad  tipped over the imaginary horizonal. As for been assaulting by 2men, don't think you lads been on the receiving of a actual assault, otherwise you know what the f**k you actually talking about.

So are you saying that the two Fermanagh lads did nothing wrong and McKenna did?

Instead of polluting 3 or 4 threads could the Mods maybe open up an Ulster Melees thread and move all posts about the regular gobsh1tery into it.

What does 'dangerous to an opponent' actually mean?

FWIW in soccer it's defined as being careless (perhaps a foul but nothing more), reckless (yellow card) or using excessive force (red card) means that the player has far exceeded the necessary
use of force and is in danger of injuring his opponent.

Quick question folks. Missed The Sunday Game last night. Checked the RTE Player this morning but it doesn't appear to be available. Do we know if it does be uploaded to the player?

Thank you

Sean Cavanagh must be the worst pundit ever on the sunday game. He offers nothing in terms of analysis but it's his pathetic attempts at humour which is very off putting.

Like I just don't get it. The technical crews are hired in and the team behind the cameras are nearly all the same no matter what channel and they all cost a fair whack BUT for some reason RTÉ let their pundits half-arse it.
Like in Cavan v Donegal I was subjected to Pat blowing again and Noelle Healy being shouted down by the same fella. Like she can be good but no-one can work with Spillane and he says nothing.

Then McStay just kept saying Division 4 v Division 1 and harping back to Cavan 2020. And 'the sub' scored the Donegal goal. FFS you are being paid and there is a programme in front of you.

Also, they are talking about long balls in. At least one of the Donegal 'long balls' in was a shot at goal that dropped. But they assigned it as a tactic.

Like all that set-up costs a fortune and I can't understand why they have the likes of Pat on to make a bollix of it all and give no insight. I know ya can't know every player but pick up the phone and chat a local journo if needs be. Find things out.

I can't listen to Cora either and Dessie Dolan on co-comms literally just says what we just saw. A lad kicks a pint..."that's right Marty. He got the ball and out it over the bar!"

Darragh and Eamon Fitz are a good team in fairness, but Christ. They need a cull or give lads a kick up the arse.

McStay's contributions and presence was totally pointless yesterday.
"The next score is vital" when the teams were level in the second half.
I'd never gave guessed
