Sounds like a terrible sending off decision, that could cost Cork dearly.

it took bannon all of 15 seconds to get his first decision wrong and he got worse after that. cant believe o connor got the line for nothing

If the game turns on that decision Bannon might need to go to ground for a long time.

I thought the Cork players were protesting at Dooher's 2 hops but it looks like he sent O'Connor off for the glance that caused Mugsy's dive.

Absolutely ridiculous refereeing, the first yellow was wrong, he obviously slipped on the surface - no intent to trip him . A free only . And I don't know what the second yellow was for. . . . and Im shouting for Tyrone

I think both sets of fans are booing Bannon.

magickingdom · August 23, 2009, 04:09:51 PM

Are u having a laugh son the first tackle would have been a red card in soccer never mind gaelic, he cynically took him out with a slide tackle. Second one was debatable

There is no doubt that Cork are a better team, If Tyrone win this it will because of one decision.

RedandGreenSniper · August 23, 2009, 04:12:07 PM

Cork will still win. They're a savage outfit. Bannon's decision a f**king joke. He was correct with the two pick ups that the RTE lads said were wrong but the second yellow? FFS. And Dooher overcarried as well.

First yellow card was for O'Connor slipping as far as I could see.

Bannon's last year on the inter-county roster. I never rated him so I won't miss him.

I hate always having a go at the ref as it is a thankless task, but they do end up having such a big bearing on these games, maybe they need more help.

Tyrone starting to come back into it, but they do still seem to be very flat today, i expect that we will see SC soon they need the lift

Cork destroyed Tyrone in that first half. If Tyrone win this Bannon should be hanged.

Maguire01 · August 23, 2009, 04:15:53 PM

Yep, Bannon is having a disaster. Up until the sending off, he was giving everything to Cork, then he tried to even it out!
To be fair to Mulligan, i'm not sure it was a dive - his momentum was carrying him on anyway.

Brolly's comments on Bannon are priceless!

You can't say that either. Look at how Tyrone turned it around against Kildare. Tyrone may well win, regardless of whether it was against 14 or 15 men.

Canalman · August 23, 2009, 04:18:41 PM

Referee loathe to penalise Tyrone for overcarrying. Sending off very very wrong. Cork will be very aggrieved .

Very interesting match though. Expect Tyrone to bare their teeth in the 2nd half.
