NFL Division 1 2022

Who's to say they wouldn't have scored them anyways? Hampsey then on that lost the game for his county by being stupid, not once but twice

So you would have yellow carded Hampsey too for Costello acting the prat?

Is your issue that Costello fell over? He was wearing studs, standing on concrete and got a shoulder into the chest. I'd challenge anyone not to fall over.

What was he at though? He squared up to Hampsey as he came in to retrieve, so tough shit I'd say.

You are a bit of a disease on this forum.

Fair enough to have a pop at Costello's cynicism in palming the ball away. But the idea that he squared up to Hampsey is a figment of your imagination. Was he not walking back through the gate when Hampsey hit him? No more.

He is under no obligation to retrieve the ball. The insinuation that a player that does not retrieve a ball is fair game for a dig is bollocks of the first order.

Watching the game and maybe making the odd sensible comment is enough for most. If your mind needs something else try sudoku. But don't poison this place with your shite

Don't hold back there Barry, let it all out!

Costello knew the score in that situation, and to assume anything else is naïve, IMHO, though Hampsey shouldn't have allowed himself to be suckered there either.

What happens when management and supporters accept trampish behaviour.

Hampsey got suckered by nobody, there was no need to shoulder him off the ball. What he trying to proof. For a matter I can't understand all this off the ball shouldering anyway, what's the point players are trying to proof. Look at me am so tough, go try boxing if that's your thing. What was seen as macho years ago, was getting straight up after been put in row z by a tackle if u could manage it. Now a simple flick they lying down trying to get players booked or send off. Players no respect for each other.

 Costello who had deliberately flicked the ball away, received a dunt to get him out of the way of retrieving the ball, an unprepared and unawares Costello went flying as if he was on an ice rink losing his marbles (just how long did he stay down for?).  If Costello was on the pitch he probably would have stood his ground, there would have been no punishment.
On the pitch, the player who obstructs the free kick is punished and the player who vigorously tries to retrieve the ball is seen as justified.
Unless there are theatrical simulations that fool the ref, there are no cards, the ball is simply moved forward.

Now there are calls to book a player for shunting another player with a shoulder or outstretched palms, as the game is played now that would equate to just having the 2 goalkeepers left standing.

Costello was on studs.  On concrete.  On a rainy day.  Might as well have been on an ice rink.

The camera didn't pick up what happened to him once he hit the deck.  Might have banged his head, might have hurt his hip/arse area.  If you've fallen on icy concrete, you have some idea of what can happen.

Costello might have been pretending. He might have hurt something, the way you do when you fall on slippery concrete.

Nobody here knows, because the camera was blocked off.  So accusing him of feigning injury is, quite frankly,  ridiculous.

Catch a grip Main Street, Costello was not in his way from retrieving the ball, he was coming through the gate. So much deflection on who's fault it was, here by blinkered supporters

Just rewatched the black card incident again there. That was a bad decision. There was 1 second between the dub player laying off the ball before paudie shoulder. How was he supposed to stop as he was running to shoulder the player legally. If the dub player held onto the ball for 1 second more it would have been a perfect tackle

Did he collide with the player after the ball was played?

Does it matter? The black card is being applied far too easily. The whole point of it was to penalise cynical play. Hampsey's was a mistimed tackle on a man who was out of play. Play should have continued if Dublin had an advantage and if anything Hampsey booked for a late hit if it was considered deliberate. The way boys on here are talking and the way Tyrone are being refereed all physicality is going to be removed from the game - is it any wonder the atmosphere is being diluted.

And i know referees love to come on quoting rules in the book but for the game to function in any way there has to be a bit of common sense applied.

Tyrone folk complaining about the black card, you couldn't make it up.

To be fair Armagh aren't usually in the championship long enough for anyone to notice or care about their black cards.

Bless the Tyrone folk really take it to heart when their trampish behaviour is called out, poor Fergal can't even get a black card rescinded on the day.

You can see the slow escalation in attempts for attention. No doubt standard mental breakdown, ban and reincarnation will follow shortly. 😂

The irony of this place is astonishing someone one with 2500 posts claims someone with 70 is attention seeking.
