Eoin Doyle given second yellow for not having a gumshield absolutely ludicrous stuff

Eoin Doyle given second yellow for not having a gumshield absolutely ludicrous stuff

Was reading that on the Donegal twitter feed.

Didn't even know that was a bookable offense!

[Go home ref]

Absolute nonsense should be personal choice no doubt some nonsense of a committee came up with this to justify their existence also extremely pedantic of ref should have been let go

[J70]

Sounds like a rip roaring match!

Kildare lead 1-3 to 0-4 coming up to half time.

In fairness, Ballyshannon in February with the wind on the top of that hill coming in off the Atlantic doesn't exactly lend itself to quality football.

[J70]

1-3 to 0-5 at the half.

[Kuwabatake Sanjuro]

Kildare had the wind in that half, they are destined to be relegated still.

[J70]

WTF is going on with the Donegal defence???

Another goal for Kildare.

All level 3-5 to 0-14

[J70]

Ryan McHugh with a Donegal goal.

1-15 to 3-5 with seven or eight minutes left

[seafoid]

Kildare will probably lose by a point ....again

[J70]

2 points in it in the end. 1-15 to 3-7.

First win for Donegal. Tyrone away next weekend.

Logs on to Inpho and Sportsfile to look for photos of Donegal players without gum shields.

[Kuwabatake Sanjuro]

Eoin Doyle does have a bad lisp, I imagine he struggles to communicate clearly with the shield in place and as the marshal of the defence he does do a lot of talking and organizing. I know he has his detractors lately but he is Kildare's most important player and we seen against Armagh last year how the defence falls apart when he isn't there.

[RMDrive]

Good win but jaysus we're so porous at the back. Good effort from Kildare with 14 men. Ridiculous sending off unless he was warned in advance. The gum shield rule is a good one however enforcement is not consistent and Kildare will rightly feel aggrieved. Flukey goal from Ryan McHugh the difference in the end.

[Jinxy]

The gum-shield rule is there for the players own good.
As long as the rule was applied to every player on the field, Doyle can have no complaints.

If he gets a few teeth knocked out of his head,will he pay for it himself then?

No gumshield,no insurance and it's not put in place by some "nonsense" of a committee,it's a stipulation of the insurance company

He was told by the ref to get a gum shield and he goes and sticks it in his sock

Fully deserved yellow card
