In fairness Gough's umpires should've seen Cluxton off his line. Need to help him out there.

Thats not a very exhaustive list. And ive no idea how you think he favoured Kerry today. Obrien got chopped down ehen through and Lyne fouled near sideline at the death, nothing given. Crucial call at that stage.

Kerry might have benefited slightly overall from the major decisions in the match yesterday but anyone thinking that Gough set out to favour one team over another in the showpiece occasion of the GAA calendar needs their head examined. he would have set out yesterday to refereee the game to the best of his ability not to try and show one particular side favouritism. Overall I though he had a decent game and I'm glad the 2 sides have another 70 minutes to prove who is the better side.

That said I think the Kerry media assault on Gough's impartiality was very poor stuff before he had even been appointed to referee the match.

Post by: Armagh18 on September 02, 2019, 01:34:30 PM
Thought Gough was very good yday. Penalty maybe slightly soft but by the letter of the law was a pen. Coopers two yellows were stonewall in fact the second probably should have been black, no arguing against them. O'Sullivan could easily have gotten a second yellow it was a tough call to make but think he got it correct. Only real mistake was not ordering a retake of the penalty but it wasn't a great effort by Geaney and we'll not begrudge Cluxton that save.

Was it only me who thought that O'Sullivan's yellow card was extremely harsh, tried to break the ball and the momentum of his arm carried it in over the Dublin players shoulder but he pulled it away again immediately. Though the second one was more a yellow though again he tried to break contact as soon as he committed the foul.

Why is there a thread here after Sunday's game? Gough had a good game. I suspect it is because of the RTE panel's misplaced outrage on Sunday. Ciaran Whelan has detracted his unwarrented criticism. Do people really take Brolly's analysis seriously?

It's because the threads originator is anti Kerry and a paranoid Tyronie who thinks Tyrone should be on 25 all-irelands if it wasnt for the pesky referee!

This is was the worst case of blatant cheating ever. Completely rode Tyrone that day. An utter disgrace that he was even allowed to referee another game after that.

One of the most predictable things about gaaboard, year after year (and I've been here a good number now) is that there will always be a few Tyrone ones whining about referees, no matter the outcome of the game or how good the referee actually was.

There can be no doubt that Tyrone more than any other county have to overcome a sustained effort from GAA hierarchy, referees, media and other dark forces that continually attempt to prevent them from winning.

If Armagh hadn't faded in to irrelevance they would be suffering from the same biases Tyrone do.

To beat Kerry you have to be at least a 5 point better team, that's how much refs generally are worth to them. The very strange obsession guys like Colm O'Rourke have with Kerry where they fawn over them and turn a blind eye to things they would otherwise be going mental at is odd. The way their pundits always come out and try and drive an agenda in the media that suits them, Eamonn Fitzmaurice was out with some disgraceful pre match comments on Mayo and David Gough before big games this year that were intended to influence the refereeing performance. Kerry have been the most snide, cynical team for the last decade. Justin McMahon got slaughtered for his man marking job on Michael Murphy in 2015 by the national media, there was a big segment on it on the Sunday Game that night, Aidan O'Mahony did it even worse on Murphy in the most high profile game of the year a number of months before that, not a peep about it.

There's good cause for Tyrone people to have a chip on their shoulder with the GAA free state media. If Armagh happened to be in a place where they were relevant at the business end of the season, they'd soon find it was something that would be a big issue for them.

How did you like the imagery of Joe Kernan's side as a bunch of violent thugs who were more interested in fisticuffs than football that was put forward by many down south?

To beat Kerry you have to be at least a 5 point better team, that's how much refs generally are worth to them. The very strange obsession guys like Colm O'Rourke have with Kerry where they fawn over them and turn a blind eye to things they would otherwise be going mental at is odd. The way their pundits always come out and try and drive an agenda in the media that suits them, Eamonn Fitzmaurice was out with some disgraceful pre match comments on Mayo and David Gough before big games this year that were intended to influence the refereeing performance. Kerry have been the most snide, cynical team for the last decade. Justin McMahon got slaughtered for his man marking job on Michael Murphy in 2015 by the national media, there was a big segment on it on the Sunday Game that night, Aidan O'Mahony did it even worse on Murphy in the most high profile game of the year a number of months before that, not a peep about it.

There's good cause for Tyrone people to have a chip on their shoulder with the GAA free state media. If Armagh happened to be in a place where they were relevant at the business end of the season, they'd soon find it was something that would be a big issue for them.

How did you like the imagery of Joe Kernan's side as a bunch of violent thugs who were more interested in fisticuffs than football that was put forward by many down south?

I think the only major injustices Armagh suffered through the noughties were Ricey trying to smash McEntees head in with his knees only for big Fergal to get him off, or Jordan going down like he was shot to get Marsden sent off, but don't let your rose tinted glasses blind you, Tyrone are and have been trampish for two decades, maybe you reap what you sow.

Ricey wasn't going for his head but only his neck to kind of "choke" him. Nobody can really comment on Armagh thuggish behaviour as they tend to only play 2 or 3 championship games, and typically play in divison 3 which doesn't tend to be covered on TV or really matter at all.

The refereeing was grand, bar the penalty, cause if that was a penalty then there would be dozens in a match.

The two yellows for Cooper were correct and in fairness to him he didn't complain. He plays on the edge and he'd be my first name on the team sheet every game, but where Dublin management got it wrong was keeping him on the pitch!

They'd plenty of decent subs to do a good job in there. As for the other potential sending off, nope, ref did ok with that, but I can see why people would complain.

So in the spirit of football to cut off the oxygen supply to an opposing player with one's knees is acceptable?  Maybe trampish incidents like this 15 years  ago continuing up to and including McCann trying to pull the teeth out of an opponent without any condemnation from Saint Mickey have opened refs eyes to the dark arts they are taught, as I say you reap what you sow - enjoy your 2020 McKenna Cup win, you will win nothing else.

Lane toned it down in the second half bit the first half yesterday was a scandal.

Dublin didn't get one free from scoring range yesterday despite all the fouling that was going on, particularly off the ball. The only point Rock got from a placed ball was a 45. When has that ever happened with Dublin before?

It baffles me how it took Stephen O'Brien until near the end of the game to get a yellow card. He must have committed 15 fouls by that stage.

A lot is made about Donor Buckley being a great coach and how he teaches his teams how to tackle. What he teaches his teams is how to tactically foul teams on a consistent basis. It was the same with Mayo when he was there but it's ramped up another level with Kerry. Fair enough if you can get away with it but it's not even subtle at this stage. O'Shea, O'Sullivan and O'Brien have spent over 200 minutes hanging off opponents for the past threegames in full view of the referee and it's been by and large ignored.

The favouritism Kerry receive from referees is beyond a joke at this point, it's being going on for years.

The second half more than balanced the first half though. You pulled the line that Paul Geaney was allowed too many steps in the Tyrone game for the goal - well for dublin's 1-1 at the start of the second half they were both too many steps. There was a debatable penalty too .

Dublin were better team though and deserved to win but yesterday did more than balance out in the end.

That is such nonsense, all Lane did was tone it down in the second half, Kerry were still getting the rub of decisions in that half so you'd need to have some green and gold tinted spectacles to think that was a leveller.

He could have been pulled for steps, certainly but he had also been tugged back prior to the goal.

I take it the penalty you are referring to is the one that should have been given against Tom O'Sullivan at the end of the first half, much like the one that should have been given against O'Sullivan in the first game? I can't recall any penalty incident involving Kerry.

Given the amount of incessant fouling Kerry were committing on Mannion, O'Callaghan and Kilkenny, it's unbelievable that Dublin did not get a free inside the 45 yard line against Kerry in about 80 minutes of action.

Maybe that doesn't happen Dublin too often because they are used to having having shite referees who always give the free to the man in possession (most intercounty referees fall into this bracket), the Dubs tend to get frustrated when they get decent referees like Gough and Lane who actually allow defenders to tackle. You can't have Smiley Deegan or Dublin Joe every day I suppose!

Lane had a decent game overall although he possibly should have given a black card to O Callaghan for the pull down that prevented a clear Kerry goal scoring opportunity.

And spare us the 'holier than thou' shite about Kerry holding/fouling off the ball as if the Dubs weren't masters at that themselves!
