I think we are unduly harsh on the referee panel, there's a couple I think would do the job. But Paul is the top in the county so has to be first choice, it would be like having your quarterback on the bench at the Superbowl if he wasn't there.

Was it really only a yellow card tackle though? It's a clever attempt to disguise as a clumsy tackle but for me the contact with both hands is on the head. But I've only seen it once.

But let's not get this sideways. The punching needs to stop and last night doesn't do our game any good. Doesn't reflect well for our county. Sledging or not, grown adults should be able to handle taunts, again I'm not condoning sledging either.

I like the idea alright but I'm sure most people have been on a speed awareness course by now, does it genuinely change driving behaviour.
It's a big question, how do we stop this strange pattern of players acting like maniacs during a game, what switches their brain into that mode. Most of them wouldn't act like that on the street.

Bit harsh to deny Kilcoo's dominance of the game JB. I thought they came out with real intent, played fairly good football, use of kick pass to their full forward line which hasn't been seen much in SFC.
I just don't understand how it ended, there was no needle the whole way through, not even bad challenge.

I can't see any other final bar Kilcoo/Burren. Weather could make these games difficult for all involved.
I'd like to see a St Johns/ Liatroim final too.

I didn't make a selection last round so I'll go Dromora in the replay.

That's poor, ball retention without actually trying to go break lines. I'd wonder if the SFC standard is the same across the country. Anyone have insight elsewhere?

As for rule changes, I can't think of any easy solutions that can be administered competently during a game.

Anyone else not able to post anything this past week?

I don't think it's Kilcoo bashing, that makes it sound like it's not justified. Unsavoury incident, not in the spirit of the game but not the only team who has someone in their squad that's capable of doing the same thing. We all have at least one. How we remove it is the key and I don't have the solution here.
Not sure there can be retrospective action either?

I'm not so sure on Burren, not sure they have the mettle right now to get over the line. Talent is there and coming.

Was told that last night, 4 during game and 2 after. Don't know if any are double yellows though.
