The Sunday Game

The product (inter-county Football) has gone underground for the armchair spectator that is! I've got so used to Football not being on terrestrial TV that  I completely forgot TSG was on this evening.

Not often I agree with you but plus 1

The two lads last night came to the conclusion that Tyrone are the strongest Ulster team left in the AI series.
The same Tyrone team that have won one championship game since 2021 and were beaten by both Derry and Armagh last year.

I doubt there would be much between any of those 3 teams.

Except the 6 points you beat them by last year in the Championship and the 11 Derry did!

One from the two dispatched yesterday. Maybe the lads on TSG weren't that far wrong. 🤔

 Commentator said Louth got the equaliser with their last point against Mayo. They corrected himself, they edited out of the Sunday game last night. Camera work not great for Tailteann Cup games also need to play games at smaller grounds. Looks dreadful to see  stands with rows of seats and no one seating in them.

1. TSG gone to the dogs.

2. TSG never show our county
3. TSG has a hurling bias
TSG eternal

Sunday Game not even showing the crucial moment in the Tyrone-Westmeath match with the Heslin free. A kick which would have sent Westmeath through and Tyrone out on their asses.

Yeah, was wondering what Dessie Dolan was on about, when he talked of missed frees!

Totally bizarre not to show that free kick.

Eventually they show the free kick in the post game analysis. However, absolutely no mention of the crazy decision to not award a black card and penalty for the cynical pull down on Kilpatrick

I am aware the referee claimed it was a high tackle rather than a pull down (so not a black card offence!!!) but it was still a penalty as the defender was last man

TSG has gone to the dogs....now not worthwhile watching. Better watching golf on Sunday nights or MOTD during soccer season

Or the tackle on Conor Glass.

Is that a rule?

No it's not. I doubt he's been watching too much MOTD.

[Mikhailov]

It is the rule if it is a goal scoring opportunity and it certainly was.

Sure Kerry got a penalty 2 weeks ago and it wasn't as clear cut a goal opportunity as this one, but sure Kerry play the beautiful game so they deserve it

Both Mark O'Se and Paddy Andrews both commented on GAAGO that it was a blatant black card and a 100% penalty

You have suggested it should be a penalty because he was last man which there is no mention of in the rule book.

As Duine says above it has to be a black card offence. It's cynical as hell and obviously denying a goal scoring chance. I'd suggest it's a failure of the rules that it doesn't allow any sort of foul denying a goal scoring chance to be turned into a penalty.

[yellowcard]

It was a high tackle and a yellow card so the referee made the correct call.
