Derek O'Mahoney down to referee.

Where's he from? Has he done Armagh recently?
Great read today in Irish News regarding KMcG's time with Kldare...Jonny Doyle def thought he was the bee's knees

From Tipperary.

Refereed Monaghan vs Fermanagh this year in ulster, Kildare vs Galway league final and Donegal vs Meath I think.

He was escorted of the pitch after the Cavan vs Dublin U21s match in 2014.

Think he sent Moriarity off against fermanagh in the league final a few years ago

As I predicted it looks like Feely will have his ban overturned. He can appeal any of his three black cards this year and knowing the GAA appeals process, it's hard not to see him succeed.

Why is it likely that he will get the ban overturned?

He clearly stepped into the space of ongoing player. Classic black card. The degree of contact is relevant only to how good he is to taking out a runner. It's not relevant as to whether taking a player out is a black card

Seemingly the Cork one is the one they expect to be rescinded.

Fair enough. I don't recall that one. Is there no time limit on these appeals?

There definitely should be a statute of limitations on these things

The crazy thing is, you are not allowed appeal a black card, unless you get 3 of them and are in line for a suspension. Only then can you appeal a black card (even if it was months ago!)

In theory Feely could appeal any of the 3 black cards at this stage, but he couldn't have appealed the first two before he got the 3rd one on Sunday.

Seems a bit crazy to me, but that's the GAA for ya!

This is further evidence that the black card should be done away with

Want Down...think there would be much more motivation to play than if it was against Kildare. Thats not to say Kildare wouldn't be on McGeeney's radar

Down panic whenever they are close to goal

The black card rule is a disgrace....it's constantly being argued over. 

Personally,  I think a pull on the jersey should be a yellow card offence. I would consider pulling a players arm back as more of an infringement then tugging at a shirt.

Never got to watch the game but looking forward to seeing it.

Balls.ie put up a few of the scores and there was some fine scoring from both teams
