There's a bit cut off at the end.

Handed out at the Tyrone press night tonight apparently 

Looks like the work of the man from strabane

[Saffrongael]

Jesus that's pathetic, who thought that was a good idea ?

Or Rafa Benitez!!!

This is a most welcomed development from a Mayo perspective. Ye know ye have a game on Sunday week lads?!

[Sandy Hill]

Would love to see a breakdown of fouls by type! Compare lifting the ball off the ground with a rugby type tackle---both fouls.

Foolish and like Rafa Benitez they are not helping themselves.

[EC Unique]

It's not how often but how significant the cynicism is at a particular stage of the game. While there is a certain antipathy to Ulster or 'the north' among many southerners, it's wrong to say this is generally the case. This 'anti-Tyrone' feeling has arisen from how good they are at it.

A red or black card doesn't make much difference in the last few minutes of the game. The arguments against the black card are valid. It won't make much difference. The only thing I can see that will stop a rugby tackle, when a player is one on one with the keeper is a penalty goal. Another suggestion by the head of the Munster board, from Kerry I think, was also interesting - legalise the 'rugby tackle.

They have a point that a red card should be given for cynical fouls. The black card will be a farce!

On 5 minutes: 'bate away lads, good honest hurling there, no need for any CCCC'.

Surely Lorcan McLoughlin couldn't have played in the All Ireland semi final after the CCCC reviewed that incident? Could he?

I think it's pretty clear what 'have been fouled' and 'have fouled the opposition' means. Surely you're not going to be 'cynical' about this letter, eh?

This particular Tyrone team has been blackened by the sort of unfounded statement that I have highlighted in your comment about the anti-Tyrone feeling.  And when you have the Southern media backing it up, you have a huge anti-Tyrone GAA feeling amongst a hell of a lot of people-I have seen it here in Limerick this past few weeks-a neutral county in the debate.  It's very disheartening after the general goodwill that there was round here in 2005, 2008.

  You can talk about whingeing and moaning, etc. but there is something more serious at play here where you have elite amateur athletes being consistently dragged over the coals and publicly tainted on one team only!.  We're sick to the teeth of the double standards at this stage.

  It simply wouldn't happen in hurling and while Pat Spillane and Colm O'Rourke aren't saying much these days, they have a lot to answer for by whinging and cribbing through grimaces about aspects of play that they didn't like in the previous decade-God, we'll miss Michael michael o muircheartaigh!     

I'm not surprised that someone has felt compelled to put out this pamphlet.

As an aside, those facts are actual facts.
