He also pinned the wrong people in the mini melee with both McGrogan and McCabe lucky to escape without punishment.

Anyone entering a melee can be black carded, no one black carded in that ?

Spare a thought for Pádraig Joyce tonight , he really wanted a league title and went at it full throttle with admirable honesty.

Mayo will beat Galway on Connacht Final. Galway didn't try much against the dubs or kerry yesterday.

Head to head to break ties is not fair because home advantage is so important.  The fairest way to break ties is to play a Tie Break game.  No one wants that extra game, plus it couldn't be used in 3 way ties.

Because the league sees half the teams with an extra home game, I'd suggest the first tie break should be that if one team that had an extra home game then they should be relegated.  The next tie break could be to revert back to the previous year's standings.

For multiple team ties, what is more fair than overall point difference would be point difference only in games involving the tied teams.

Kerry were much better away from home so having the extra game an away game suited them, certainly not a disadvantage.
Does home advantage make much difference in the league anyway?

Is there ever going to be any consideration for the league finals? The division 1 final this year in particular looks to be something that teams are almost actively avoiding so you have to ask what's the point.

Scheduling a championship match for a week after the league final makes a farce of it. Surely it's time to do away with league finals?

I always thought league finals were a bit of a farce tbh.
The concept of a league is the team with the most points wins. With all the "condensed season" complaints, do away with the league final to give teams a break before championship and re-instate the pre-season cup competitions.

HQ tried to but the Counties wanted them kept.

Very harsh decision on McGuigan. Was barely even a shoulder. I think we were probably getting beat anyway given how easy Armagh ran through the middle of us before the red card but you never know how the game would have panned out .

It doesn't really matter what it was, the ball was long away before it occurred, it was not any sort of attempt at legitimate play.

Only query i have on Yesterday foreby not playing a full 2nd string, was the 3rd Goal. It was obvious from where I was at, that the contact on the keeper has forced him bck a step. I thought it should been a free out. Ref didn't even check with the umpires

[bennydorano]

Derry need to nail down whos playing No.6 , It's too easy coming through the middle. Plus their shadowing instead of tackling worried about giving easy 2pter frees doesn't work, along with the ridiculous zonal marking Tally employs.

One of the big things I've noticed from watching CLUB football under the new rules is the role of CHB, you could run a bus down most teams centre, the CHB role is going to have to evolve.

Yeah would need to watch that again, if any tackle with keeper in the box it's a free normally, grand if a player arrives into box and punches ball and then contact, but would need to see that again

In all leagues this year home teams had a 63-42 record.

I was thinking: play it in Galway.  Play the hurling final in Limerick.

Why does everything seem to revolve around Dublin?  Is the GAA 32 counties or is it Dublin and 31 other counties?
