Another piece of Tyrone diving which could cost Cork an All-Ireland title, a total injustice in my opinion.

Can anyone honestly say they are in anyway surprised to see Tyrone diving and cheating???

First was a yellow the 2nd wasn't. And I didn't think Mulligan dived- just a rank bad decison.

First you could see he had slipped and wasn't even trying to tackle....Mulligan did a triple salko for heavens sake at a tiny touch...

There's no professional foul in Gaelic football, but if a man is motoring past you at speed and you take him out with your legs, then it surely has to be a yellow card, regardless of intent.
Otherwise you're just giving the thuggish side of our game a stick to hit the rest with.

As for the second one, it was harsh - but to be honest by that stage Cork had taken so many Tyrone men out off the ball, that one of them deserved a yellow card.

Absolutely not, wobbler. Yellow cards should only be given (a) when the referee is CERTAIN that he's seen a foul and (b) when he has no doubt about intent. A slip, like O'Connor's that carries him into collision with the opponent is a foul, regardless of intent but in natural justice cannot be punished with a yellow card as it's clear it was a complete accident.

There still 5 points up you WUM, this is a bullsh1t thread.

Please keep it in the Cork V Tyrone thread.

Maybe Down should be deploying similar tatics so they could have the chance to 'cheat' a team out of an AI title.

Muppet.
