Tyrone v Kerry NFL Round 2

[corn02]

Emotions running high here, people need to calm down.

His actions were unacceptable, no Tyrone fan, with the exception of one clown, has defended it. Fair enough, not much more can be added. Again, football fields do strange things to people. Personal insults should result in bans on here, leave it out of it.

Tyrone fans should worry because it may come back to bite him and he may get the lline in an important match. How the linesman did not say something is beyond belief.

McGinley is a legend, simple as!

Good game of football considering the conditions and lets face it no silverware handed out in February!  Saying that I think both managers will be happy and will have learned from the individual performances and how certain players react in the heat of the action even though the tempo will be greater come the summer if the 2 powers meet again. On that note I hope we all get to see them face each other in the late summer because it will be a feast for all GAA followers throughout the country.  As its only February I'm not getting hung up on individual performances but I would like to say Ryan Mc Menamin is a fine footballer and has proved on his day he is one of the best in his position that said, I cringe everytime he resorts to his cheap tactics and would love if he stuck to what he does best.  It hasn't been mentioned on here but Compliments to Marc O Shea as he didn't react to the slap in the face or the resulting shove but just walked away down the tunnel.  Must say it displayed a positive professional mindset that showed who really was in control of the situation and it certainly wasn't Ricie that was focused on the task in hand this year!  If we see that same steely focused look on the Tyrone teams faces this year, I've no doubt we will be up there as one of the main contenders when the honours are handed out.

You'd have thought the O'Se would have reacted in some way if McMenamin deliberately spat in his face. I really dont think he did as I cant remember any indident at game that suggested it happened. A still picture can be deceiving.

[gerry]

Who spat at who?

Do not believe all you see

[bcarrier]

its on the rte website FFS.

[Tyrone Dreamer]

Perhaps the (alleged) spit is what O'Connor was so worked up about.

O'Connor reacted to whatever was happening with McCullagh. I find it impossible to believe that Marc O'Se reacted in no way to being spat at in the face. I really think the picture is giving a false impression of what happened. I'll hold my hands up if proved wrong by video footage.

McMenamins actions towards Galvin was unacceptable, there is no doubt about that. He cant complain if gets suspended from it. Still don't think there was any need for the personal attacks and language used towards him on a gaa forum. Not too bothered about his mouthing on the pitch, doesnt do anyone any harm and in some cases you can actually see the opposition laughing. Guys like Cooper are well able to mouth back at him. He always gives a 100% on the pitch and off the pitch puts a lot back into the gaa. He does need to look at some of his actions though and realise when he's crossing the line.

Watched the 2nd half. Some off the stuff posted by Armagh supporters earlier in the thread about Jordan is nonsenes and laughable unless the "dives" took place in the 1st half. Jordan was excellent in the 2nd half. He likes to run the ball and this can result in him being pulled down. Today he won 4 free's in the 2nd half and there is no evidence from the tv footage that in any one of these occasions he dived. All four looked like clear fouls.

McGinley is a machine and hugely important to Tyrone. Hub still has something to offer to Tyrone but shouldnt be allowed to shoot. There was a period in the 2nd half when Tyrone still could have got something from the game. At a crucial time though McCullagh missed an easy free and gave away possesion on Kerry's 21 cheaply. The ref also missed a clear foul on Harte which resulted in a Kerry point. We missed O'Neill today and hopefully for his and Tyrone's sake his knee injury isnt bad. Tyrone got a great backing from the crowd in the 2nd half today and after the game.

at last someone with a balanced view of todays game instead getting up on their high horse abou certain players/incidents

How do you expect people to react to a player grabbing/patting/slapping another player in the balls?

thats how i expect people to react

I genuinely don't think Ricey spat at O'Sé if this is the picture everyone else is going by.



Looks like he's just slobbering if you ask me and given the way he ran around all day frothing at the mouth it's hardly surprising.
Also, Bryan Sheehan should never be let near a game against Tyrone again.
He's just not aggressive enough in his play.
Thought that Bohane lad played well.
Looked to drive forward in the 2nd half when Kerry were on the back foot.

[aroundincircles]

So is it coopers fault then?
