looks like he struck out in the pushing and shoving afterwards. Nothing in it tho and f the red was that it would have been soft

Quote from: imtommygunn on January 29, 2024, 09:22:54 AMTbh I don't understand how anyone thinks that's a red card. Clumsy and a yellow at best / worst.

The square ball was wrong too. League Sunday showed it up well.



It was a yellow all day long, very harsh sending off and will in all likelihood be overturned

Didn't think it was a red but it was totally unnecessary for him to go flying in like that. Conn is an excellent player but Tyrone have been undermined by these red cards from daft challenges too often the last couple of years. Needs to be stamped out by management.

Good win for Tyrone with so many new faces. Tougher tests to come but great to have two points on the board at this stage.

time ticking away

Was the red card not for a punch thrown in the scuffle after the tackle ?
canavan is the man canavan is the man ee aye adi ooh.......

As much as it pains me to defend Tyrone that was definitely not a red card tackle

Where did I say it was rugby? I said the red was harsh and the tackle was careless but the Ref makes the call in real time and if you are clumsy you run a risk.

Absolutely no way in hell it was a red for the initial tackle/hot.

Could the red have been for the jab to the face when there was some handbags afterwards?

Does any team actually wanrt to win the League under the new system?
Does winning the League benefit anyone ?

As long as you're not playing a championship game the week after the league final like Mayo last year then I would say yes there are benefits to winning the league. Kerry won it the last time they won the AI, Dublin won D2 last year and won the AI. Derry did well last year and got to D2 final. Winning is a good habit and it creates momentum.

Winning D1 requires more effort than the procession in D2. Donegal will probably walk D2 . Mayo didn't benefit last year.

Div 1 & 2 are not comparable. It takes a lot of effort to win Div 1 league whereas a few games in Div 2 are very lop sided.

D1 requires accuracy. D2 is much more sloppy

Why I think was highlighted by the strong team selection by Mickey Harte for round 1 of the league. Like Jack O'Connor on his return to Kerry it looks like the clear aim for Derry is to win every competition they'll enter.


NFL final is set for March 31st and should they reach it they'll still have three weeks to prepare for the opening round of the Ulster championship.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Thats a better gap. Didn't the 2 teams last year have to play the following week?

I think it's a joke that the Glen boys had to play the other night. Couldn't have been 100%

One weakness for Derry is that they have no reliable off the ground kick taker. It seems that Glass is taking them now and he doesn't seem to have the power. That is one weakness that Derry didn't have in the 90s with Tohill putting them over the catching net.
