Tyrone v Monaghan Quarter Final

[BennyHarp]

Just watching BBC coverage there McGeeney's post match analysis was superb!

Link?

I'd sky plussed it.

Petey Harte as well.

Indeed, as was Ciaran McGinley and Peter Harte had a great second half. A few of the much maligned players really stood up today, fair play!

Ciaran took a fair bit of stick on here a couple of weeks ago. Good to see him prove a few 'experts' wrong.

[BennyHarp]

A little bit worrying that Tyrone only finished with one of the starting six forwards on the pitch. Darren McCurry will have better days and SON is struggling to get into games. Good to see positive performances from Ronans McNabb and O'Neill though.

Joe Brolly s attack on Sean Kavanagh was an absolute disgrace  ffs you would swear he was the 1st man ever to pull a man down going through on Goal what does Joe expect ? Who here on the board would not do the same thing if in the same position ? Jesus you would swear Kavanagh had just killed a man . From the game i was watching there was cyncism from both teams but of Course Brolly does not recognise that . I know who i rather go for a pint with so sean if your ever down in mayo just give us a pm as for Joe you might just feck of the national airways as i'm sick of paying my tv licsense to listen to the shite that you come out week after week.

Agreed with everything Brolly said. Cavanagh is an outstanding footballer but he reverts to cynicism and play-acting continually.

As a monaghan fan colm kavanagh should have been cautioned on numerous occasions in the second half for stopping our keeper on the quick kick out. Umpires linesmen and ref all just stood and watched. Sean is not the first to do a cynical tackle on anyone but he is the man doing it every feckin week and as good a player as he is its no wonder so many can't stand him.

I have no problem with Sean Cavanagh making a calculated decision to rugby tackle one of Ulsters leading marksmen as he bore down on goal to potentially get a match winning score. what I do have a problem with is the fact that he did not receive a straight red for the sheer cynicism of his actions. Could elaborate but its late we have  a huge day tomorrow to look forward to. To be continued

All this will spur on Tyrone me thinks. Monaghan in general were more cynical than Tyrone in this match especially Dessie Mone. I had thought they had turned over a new leaf etc., but they seemed to revert to the Monaghan tactics of recent years, exemplified by the decision to bring Dick on, who immediately came on and just stood in front of Cavanagh, not looking about the ball.

FFS too, Cavanagh gets dragged to the ground more than any other player in the country...

There is no such foul as a cynical foul in the rule book nor is their a professional foul. So I'd love to know on what grounds he gets a red card or are you saying refs should just apply whatever punishment they feel like?

+1

though refs have sent lads off in the past incorrectly...
this time it cannot be done retrospectively because as you say, this is not a red card offense in the rule book.

i wonder will this furore fire up a reaction from HQ to have conor gormley red carded retrospectively...in a kind of sop/retaliation for cavanaghs rugby tackle..
hope not

see you in 13 -13.5 hours itchy!!
come on Cavan!

The problem is, you cant tell anymore when hes dragged to the ground and whens hes dived

We've seen a few instances in hurling recently where people believed the ref should ignore the rule book and use common sense instead. Maybe that's what should be used here
