Celtic are in no mans land, Rogers needs to start producing otherwise Tony will be back with his Coco lines.
Raiders giving their best browns impression ever

Another butcher job on Tyrone from Brolly
I hadn't realised the Raiders traded for McCarron until yesterday. Seems absolutely daft, especially as EJ looked perfectly competent as a backup in preseason. McCarron lost a QB competition to Nathan Peterman ffs.
Mickey said in the Irish News he only wants support from those who went to Navan back in June. I was in Navan with a Meath jersey on, would that matter? Wonder is Roisin Jordan going?
Isnt that the issue though. Harte's and Cavanagh's (to name just 2) were, to use your words "not a free, not in a million years". Both resulted in points. One was diving and the other surprised Harte as much as the rest of us. These bad decisions did have an impact on the outcome. There is no getting away from that factDon't think the ref had a decisive impact on the outcome.
You can't, with the benefit of hindsight, right all the wrongs that affected your side, without also doing the same for the other side.
Yesterday, as bad as the ref was, the poor decisions balanced themselves out over the course of the game.
That's Sunday game standard analysis, i.e. lazy. Bit like when a ref takes the lazy way out and books both players for an incident it is clear that there is only one guilty party.
The ref had a mare and the incidents didn't come close to balancing out.

As myopic an article as I've seen in a long while.
Of course it looks like Monaghan were robbed if the author only cites examples of (alleged) Monaghan injustice.
There were plenty of dodgy calls that Monaghan got (and cards they didn't) that could also have been listed but seem to have been left out.......
There were definitely soft calls - on both sides
There were calls not given, that should have been - on both sides
There were yellow cards given instead of black cards - on both sides
Overall Tyrone were marginally the better team but it definately could have went either way.
No matter the referee holding his arm up initially - that last play was not a free, not in a million years

Two frees given were the difference, one close to half-time and Cavanagh's dive. Seemed all 50/50 went Tyrone's way.
Without a doubt the referee carried Tyrone over the line, a hollow victory. Paddy Power seem to agree — they have Dublin @ 1/7 and Tyrone @ 11/2.
