Tyrone v Down - Sun 18th May, Omagh

[Agent Orange]

Tyrone rape another county, Hartes team looked dead and buried.

[Walter Cronc]

Cavanagh conning referees yet again with his antics.

[Ciarrai_thuaidh]

O'Hare will have nightmare's about the missed free, but fair play to Down for second half, great stuff. 1st half was atrocious. Tyrone are seriously dogdy at the back and bringing in Gormley just shows how desperate they are.
Still think Tyrone will improve and with dry ball if Coney and McCurry get enough they will win replay.

[yellowcard]

Woeful miss for a free to seal the game for Down and it came back to haunt them. I wouldn't subscribe to the theory that Downs chance has gone however. Tyrone are a fairly mediocre side who play far too many short fist passes to keep possession for the sake of it. When a team ups the pace and tempo (as Down did for 20 minutes in the second half) they struggle to cope. Morgan going off was a big blow for Tyrone as they lost about 5or 6 of their own kick outs in a row shortly after it. It was a very exciting second half nonetheless and a draw was probably a fair outcome. Some of the diving by Laverty and Cavanagh was disgraceful again today.

Oh ffs, just saw the replay..massive dive by Kavanagh and the ref bought it. 

[Schkite]

Brolly didn't hold back on Cavanagh either! "If there's one man you don't want to put your hand on in Gaelic Football it's Sean Cavanagh, because he'll dive through the air with grace..."

Also liked Lyster's response when Brolly complemented Cavanagh on the equalising free, "It takes a man to do that"!

Mickey Harte is holding Tyrone back at the moment.

[PAULD123]

The highest rated referee in the sport was brutal today.

NO understanding if the advantage rule (at least two scoreable frees lost to Tyrone and one to Down) at the very least he doesn't know how long five seconds is!

NO interest in implementing the over-carrying rule (how many steps can McCurry take?)

Black card - Hello!! Does Coldrick even know the rules (and I'm a Down supporter saying that!!)

Does Coldrick not know that if a player is bending to lift the ball then an opposition player can not stick his foot in? A player could get hurt when this happens (both teams guilty)

None of these are particularly difficult rules to implement.

[Wildweasel74]

that dive was fairly poor alright, right in front of the ref which beats me,big strapping lad but the wind would blow him over somedays

More like holding them together.

[Minder]

No reason why Down can't give Tyrone what they deserve next week

[tyroneStatto]

if I wasn't from tyrone I think I would really dislike Sean cavanagh. he seems to have gotten a reputation like 'the jurgen klinnsman of the gaa'. down were robbed at the end. I hate to say it but tyrone are mediocre. down exposed a lot of failings in our setup. down will win replay.

Classy from the bard of Armagh

Cavanagh got a belt in the first half and went don't like he was having some sort of seizure only to jump up and run off without a bother 30 s later. His reputation as a great player in danger of being replaced by his reputation of being a cheat.

In fairness, he got a serious fist in the ribs from that wee rat laverty.
