I think by the reaction of the Derry crowd after going three up with little to go they will be pretty sick heading home. I am kidding you not-there was two grown men hugging each other in the terrace towards the end of normal.   

Surely a photo was taken.

Nice clip of Derry boys going down. Barton floored by McCarron?

The McCarron red card is a no-brainer (literally) but how did McNamee not receive a straight red? What was the yellow card for? or is yellow a word the ref will be ducking for a week or two?

[ONeill]

Why is it a straight red?

[LCohen]

Why is it a straight red?

McNamee?? Striking. Red card all day long

[Moortown Spuds]

That video does not look good for the Derry player? Slides in with a career threatening sliding tackle and the lies down holding his face when pushed in the (albeit) upper chest. What a poor showing from whoever it was.

What was Barton thinking running into a fracas like that? That the sort of thing you would expect from Geezer.

Derry the better side tonight. Good crowd. Couldn't get the picture of the two men embracing as they were directly to my left and had seemed like decent folk and chatted away all evening.

He pushed him. The inbred lad stayed down.

Its a brainless tackle. It not career threatening.

If McNamees foot was planted then it could have been career ending. He dived. Lay like a big baby. No contact was made with his face so why did he go down holding it.

It was certainly more than just 'brainless'. It was pretty dangerous and he knew exactly what he was at.

It wasn't dangerous. It is brainless beciause its well outside the rules and he knew that. Yes he did know what he was doing. If McNamee's preferred pushing technique is one handed and with a close fist then a rethink is perhaps warranted

It wasn't dangerous. It is brainless beciause its well outside the rules and he knew that. Yes he did know what he was doing. Completely ruining. If McNamee's preferred pushing technique is one handed and with a close fist then a rethink is perhaps warranted

It was dangerous AND brainless. Barton would need to calm down a tad too. It's only the McKenna Cup after all.

If you watched that game all the way through (and I mean watched rather than listened to the CLEARLY biased anti-tyrone commentary) you would not be choosing diving as your weapon of choice.

The contact is with the face. the picture shows this. If you are going to deny the evidence you are clearly not interested in facts

Deny evidence?? You said the sliding tackle wasn't dangerous??
