Donegal V Tyrone Ulster Final 17th July

[imtommygunn]

The brennan thing was never a penalty.

Black card for donnelly was harsh but it actually helped tyrone with the impact brennan had. Very good player brennan.

Donegal will still be hard to beat but i think there's more in that tyrone team than we saw today.

Nonsense. That is the donnelly incident you are describing. The murphy one was not like that at all. All the commentators said it too.

Well Tommy Carr said so, so that must be the final word!

McCann released the ball and ran into Murphy's chest with his shoulder immediately after. Tell us, please, where was Murphy supposed to go?

Donnelly had more time to get out of his way than Murphy did, if we are going to quibble over fractions of seconds.

Just because the Donnelly one was harsh or unjust doesn't mean that Murphy deserved one.

Within the context of the match tho he had to be consistent and he wasnt

First Donegal foul of the match  was one, and there was another in the 2nd by Thompson

Lets not forget Tyrone had a penalty too that wasnt given

Your independence has to be questioned though.

Thought referee let a lot go. If he hadn't match would have been worse. Have seen black cards given for Donnelly type incident before. Harsh and I think it was called by linesman. Murphy was not even close to a card never mind black. Although Thompson could have seen red the Tyrone player who got caught on camera punching Murphy could have got red much earlier. Watched the whole game on TV and do not recall where Tyrone should have got a penalty.

Take you win and walk away. The sooner this game is forgotten about the better.

What game?

[Aaron Boone]

It was a great day for football and we saw a great intense game. Modern.

[Zulu]

We saw an intense-free load of rubbish, soccer with hands.

[red hander]

Tyrone hard done by by ref. How was there no red card for kick on Cavanagh?

That clown Coldrick actually gave a yellow card for it, which defies logic, and then couple of seconds later Thompson committed a rugby tackle and he ignored it completely 

[Wildweasel74]

the last 10 mins doesn't hide the fact the game was crap, near 25 wides if nor more, says it all

[mrdeeds]

Not sure what the rule book says. Is mouthing a black card offence or are the officials just making the rules up again?

Mouthing to any officials or players is a black card offence.

[Il Bomber Destro]

After seeing the Donnelly black card there for the first time from the television pictures?

A disgraceful decision, McHugh ran in a straight line into Donnelly after he released the ball when he had no need to. Donnelly did not change his direction or go out of his way to get him.

Also thought Rory Kavanagh committed the most blatant black card offence on half time and Anthony Thompson should have been off for a second yellow. Haven't seen these incidents again but they certainly looked the case from the stands. We were very badly hit by poor refereeing decisions once again today but the team showed huge character after a poor first half display and some really poor decisions against them.

Subs made a huge difference when they came in - Brennan, McGeary, McCurry with points, Monroe with a super shoulder. A log of questions answered again, three wins from here on in. I've thought we could do it from the start of the year and I still believe that way.

[Wildweasel74]

Could give Cavanagh a card for pinning the donegal man legs down which is why he kicked back, but you are correct it should been red

[mrdeeds]

RTE seem to be biting back - they didn't show the presentation or Cavanagh's speech. Will be interesting to see if they show the Leinster presentation!

Nearly all the pundits stuck up for tyrone in the black card incidents and some other dodgy decisions by the ref. The directors and overlords of rte need to take action and have a word to make sure the pundits know to maintain their campaign of bias against Tyrone.

Pat Spillane thought Donnelly blatant.black card.

[Wildweasel74]

In Pats day that normally passed for a standard tackle lol

[omaghjoe]

Spot on bomber about the munroe shoulder. I think it might even have been  the winnin of the game for us

A real Carmen handshake!

[BennyCake]

We saw an intense-free load of rubbish, soccer with hands.

I thought it was more of a mixture of basketball and rugby.

[Throw ball]

Its Black, about time you men looked up what black card offense are

Think serious verbal abuse can be a red - racist etc.

Oh well if we had ok known that ....you should have told us earlier to save any discussion on it
