No but as ive stated plenty of people round me did. Because I didn't see it did it not happen?

No, it does not mean that.
It just means you cannot give a fair account or a respectful opinion on what did or did not happen.

It does if I trust the people around me, why would they make it up. They all had the same version of events, as did all the Clonoe players who I spoke to that night. But hey my account is unfair and disrespectful.

This is all very cute with the loyal trust. But i suggest you source out the video of the match. You will see that all these people that you trust so much either have poor eyesight or are not that trustworthy after all. 

Ok I see now that everyone I spoke to as well as The referee and linesman are completely wrong. I also see that Peter donnelly working for the county board has nothing at all to do with the fact that he got off. 

Thanks for clearing that all up for me.

One thing I think that is now clear is that I am under your skin. Maybe the fact he got away with it, is that it didn't happen. But you wouldnt know. As you did not see it 
If a tree falls in the woods and know one is around to hear it. Did it make a sound?

I seen it am I a liar? I don't know what the video showed but Donnelly clearly struck or attempted to strike daryl Magee.

It's the semi-final of a championship FFS, if your not making/taking hits you shouldn't be on the field lets get real men.
Video evidence seems to be contradicting some "neutral" opinions!

I can suggest that if Pete Donnelly "hit" Magee he wouldn't have been standing long.

But maybe winghalfback's allegations are right and thats what caused the jelly legs

Hi lads as a neutral and standing right in front of the incident I can say that PD did attempt to elbow the Clonoe lad, however it was a poor enough attempt and didn't cause much harm or injury...but intent to harm or injury an opponent is a red card offence and was correctly sent off.Had his elbow made much more of a contact would it have been rescinded?

That's my point, surely the video shows an attempted elbow. How does he get of then? Dromore getting McCusker of on a technicality didn't work out too well for them, lets hope the same happens this weekend.

Is there a different set of rules or a new rule book once its the semi final stage or something?

I didn't say there is a different set of rules nor do I condone striking in the face. My point is that he was making a shoulder challenge and he may have caught him high but there was no malice behind it which is obviously part of the reason it was rescinded. If the linesman had any cop on he would have seen that.

Anyway all to play for this weekend, lets just hope the refereeing doesn't get in the way of a good game!

CC.. you have missed the point this was not an attempted shoulder but a deliberate elbow to an opponents head... as I said I was a neutral spectator and have been out before and dont  live in cuckoo land. However it is good to see PD free to play this weekend again hopefully the Clonoe lads don't 'catch him high'.

I haven't missed the point at all, I seen it myself and I gave you my opinion...

Anyway whats the thoughts on the replay?

Glad to see Donnellly playing - I wasn't at the match but my source said it was soft. The linesman in question is a poor ref IMO. Its a good thing though in my mind as it will add a bit of spice to the replay! The Clonoe lads will probably go in hard on Donnelly who would probably enjoy that.

[Helpline]

My Opinion: Coalisland to win a close replay and Killyclogher to run out easy winners in the final.

Dromore got McCusker off on self defence, have you ever heard the likes of it!! So now there telling your aloud to strike back in defence? Bulls##t!

It was definitely not a shoulder charge, Donnelly clearly lifted his forearm up and turned the elbow into Magee's face. Rambo had a decent game I thought overall.

[Tyrone Gaa]

He got off, this message board isn't going to change that!! Lets move on and look forward to the game.

[winghalfback]

Coalisland to win the replay maybe by 4/5 points. Donnelly back is a big plus for them he was running the game before he was lined, Clonoe on the other hand may well be missing Stevie Mc Nulty due to a nasty ankle injury sustained last week this and the fact this will be the Rahillys 5th tough game in as many weeks might mean they are maybe going to the well one time to many.

[Club boi]

Donnelly raised his arm into Magee's face. If I had to call it I would say a forearm. Wasn't much force behind it and to be fair the Clonoe lad didn't hit the ground but for a player of Peter Donnellys experience to do such a thing, and put the Referee on the spot to make a decision was shocking

Plain an Simple. Donnelly raised his arm. Strike or attempted strike is a Red Card Offense. Doesnt matter if he hurt him

Who would become a Ref these days?? Why bother with this already impossible job to be undermined by your bosses. Shame on the County Board

As said previously I think Coalisland will score goals and win by 3 or 4 points
