If Tyrone and Mickey were so clearly targeting Clifford, why did they wait until the 65th minute to unveil their masterplan, when Clifford had been booked in the first half? The media have declared Ben McDonnell was sent on to mark David Clifford (most probably don't realise he is a midfielder)- the play up until the incident Clifford had won a free in on the wing. Clifford's marker McNamee and Jack Barry were on the ground between the 45 and 21. Clifford had made his way towards the square where a number of Tyrone players had gathered to defend the free kick, and he encountered McDonnell.

What do you think you are doing using facts and logical against the anti tyrone bridage. Are you mad.

So they initially tried to get another sent off but what a bonus Clifford arrived and was trailed to the ground, They used to say Kerry were cute hoors. At what time was Harte sent off?

Nope, both McNamee and Barry got black cards, again no real camera evidence on what happened and how is started.

The only player sent off to that point had been Peter Harte on a second yellow, for an off the ball incident with another player who only received their first caution. Harte has a far bigger history of being targeted cynically from opposition players, indeed the last time they played Kerry he was systematically fouled at every instance right under the nose of the referee and nothing done about it. Harte was sent off about 10 minutes before not long after he picked up his first yellow.

There were also the case when McShane was introduced and his marker tried to start something with him straight away, hit him four or five shoulders, McShane didn't bother getting involved in the silly stuff with him.

The narrative is as one eyed as you expect when it's both Kerry and Tyrone involved, the facts of the matter don't seem to matter whatsoever. There is no conclusive evidence to say what happened but it doesn't stop people making their mind up.

I think Kerry have shown themselves to be the most cynical team in the country in the past few years but actual facts don't come into it in the propaganda campaign behind Kerry GAA.

Nonsense post.  Kerry have never engaged in cynical football.  We play football in the right way. No blanket defence.  Were the best kick passes in the game.  Our backs have always been pure footballers and never have to engage in sledging or cynical play.

Best forward in the country. Aside from the sending off gave an exhibition of point scoring.

Well said kieran

Tyrone wans out in force today. Delusional

😂 Muppets like you make me laugh. What is delusional

Do I aye? You're the muppet here if you think Clifford deserved the red. Only reason why Tyrone won the game.

That made me laugh. You seem to be forgetting again that Peter harte was sent off as well but no one seems to mention that. If you think Clifford was the only reason you lost then you definitely are delusional

Peter harte was put off for diving.

So did both players dive then and Hartes was his second yellow?

Murphy was standing his ground

Maybe Clifford should have tried doing the same.

When someone grabs you by neck are you expected to stand there

Bump, Dublin always get Fergie time etc etc etc.

f**k off. Dublin everything in their favour. Bad enough with a pick of 1.5 million relying on referee to do them a favour

I don't know what Clifford or Harte did but Refs have to start having an element of common sense. The likes of Clifford and Harte aren't going around hitting people for no reason. These are the players we want to see on the pitch, not the dirty f**kers who are pulling and dragging them all over the place. By the way though, if Kerry lads are whinging about refs costing you games, I'd suggest you should watch last years all Ireland semi final.

Is Petey Harte an innocent victim every time he gets himself sent off?

The man walks off a pitch early ever fecking summer.

He's very hard done by, if you saw the abuse he was setting from Tom O'Sullivan and Sean O'Shea in the AI semi final last year right under the nose of Deegan and nothing done about it then you'd have to say he gets no protection from referees.

Tom Sullivan and Seanie Shea 2 of the best footballers you ever see. They wouldn't engage in that dung.

Mayo blessed to get a win


Meath are an awful team

To be fair I think we're ok defensively and our tackling is as good as anyone's but too many lads look Clueless when they get the ball in their hands. Referee was as unpredictable as our shooting.

Yer shot selection was diabolical, 14 tried to kick a point from the wing, literally on the sideline. Ridiculous

The meath medics were worked hard in the first half, f**k me but it was brutal
i wouldn't normally say anything but I thought in the first half in particular the ref gave everything to Meath. Very frustratingly he would blow for a free for one thing and two seconds later the same foul would be let go

The medics work hard in Mayo too. Never seen a team get so many head injuries in each game. Between game in tralee and league final last year about 6/7 lads went down holding head in each game.

Murphy wouldn't be shy doing the same.

It will be a learning experience for Clifford. Not to say he wasn't doing anything himself, but Tyrone got exactly what they would have wanted out of that. And just as Kerry had gotten a man advantage themselves, that could well have been the losing of the game, and changes the complexion of the league table.

Clifford didn't go off quiet though, some shouting done to the officials after.

I wonder if he will be on bother for that

Clifford was right to be annoyed. No further action will be taken.

Action most certainly should be taken. It would be against anyone else

He didnt say anything to referee. He was right feel aggrieved

Lol what. Of course he did. The referee got the most of his tantrum. He even prodded him in the chest. Action should be taken.

What prod in the chest??? LOL

Do Tyrone people ever wonder why it's always them involved in the big controversy, the off the ball sh ite etc. Why don't ye just go and play football

It's not though. Dublin were involved the last time. If anything, Kerry & Clifford are the common denominators.

Kerry no 2 battered McShane when he came on too.

Jason Foley done nothing wrong.  He was just laying down a marker getting into McShane head. Didnt resort to the thuggery which Clifford was subjected to.

Laying down a marker!!

Jesus would you look at the state of this!! 

You boys are fairly rattled the day. Don't like losing to them aul nordies do ye? 

Only horrified challenge game. Our lads in middle of heavy training.

I thought someone implied he said something to referee.

Ah constantly shouldering an man off the ball when kerry do it is called laying down a marker. When anyone else does it is called cynical. Gotta.

Didnt  see any off the ball shouldering from our lads
