Tyrone v Down - Sun 18th May, Omagh

[tyroneman]

I just love the way 20min of decent football has unleashed the famed Down 'swagger'

[BennyCake]

So?

Crowd could be affected.

I don't understand why any Tyrone or Down fan would stay at home to watch two Spanish teams in a European final, instead of supporting their team in Newry.

[Itchy]

Few questions for Coldrick?
What was he thinking for the Tyrone Penalty? How was it not a black card and where was the advantage?

Why did he give Conor Lavery a yellow card for striking SeanC?

Is the black card not for a deliberate foul? If so Morgan's foul wasn't deliberate, penalty yes but he had committed to spreading himself and had been sent the wrong way by the Down player, penalty yes but black card no!

Also why wait until Big Sean goes to ground to give him his free?

I will revert to M Harte's 10 year old sermon about consistently in referring must come first!

With all that said Tyrone's defence is a shambles and probably deserved to lose

Ref got it completely wrong on penalty. Should have played advantage and/or black card. People make mistakes.

Morgan definitely appeared to be deliberate trip. Black card correct.

Big Sean goes to ground that quick that the referee doesn't have time to blow his whistle before he hits the ground.

Despite the criticism that will not be the worst refereeing performance of the year.

Thought both teams deserved to lose at one stage or other. Draw fair enough.

Appearing to be a deliberate trip I agree but after viewing the replay it defo wasn't a  penalty yes but never a black card

Coldrick's reaction time must be super slow (a possibility) if it takes him 10 secs to blow a for a foul? Big S was fouled multiple times he didnt foul himself

Also do u actually think it was a bad refereeing performance? U seem to have justified most of his mistakes

Deliberate trip is black card. How would it not be one?

Sean Cavanagh diving out there today was embarrassing out today.His brother Colm is just as bad,There getting away with this for years

[Orior]

Mickey Harte is holding Tyrone back at the moment.

Ooh how quickly you guys forget
If Armagh had Mickey we would have more than one all Ireland .
To the game, thought after first half Tyrone would push on, they were very poor in the second half,with down stepping it up and benny leading by example
Was in a pub full of Armagh men and to a man we were supporting our mourne neighbours, never saw as much venom against Tyrone before.
Hope down push on and beat them next week.

+1

That shimmy of his is too many steps too, and should be clamped down on.

What the people watching on TV don't see is the constant fouling of cavanagh of the ball. He was fouled at least twice before the final free and constantly pulled of the ball.

Tyrones 2 big problems are being wide open in defence and not contesting breaking ball for periods of games. The Sunday game highlighted tonight just how bad we were for a ten minute spell at kick outs. We don't catch many in midfield and aren't getting out caught so need bodies in fighting for ball. That's why I couldn't understand why penrose wasn't on earlier as he will win ballad why we constantly leave our midfielders isolated against multiple players from the other team.

We'll have the usual over reaction from some supporters but we always start the championship slow even during the 2000s. We had the exact same over the top reaction from many in 08. I'd like to see penrose in for mcginley and justy and Gormley in to shore up defence. A few changes and I'd be hopeful of a win next week. Stevie looked sharp enough coming on which could be a big plus.

[Redhand Santa]

Mcginley does a lot of running but doesn't really cover defence, offer a scoring threat or get stuck in for breaking ball. Will be lucky to start next week.

Can't believe people are criticising the 7pm start next week over a champions league game involving 2 Spanish teams. If be very surprised if it had any impact. Someone said it was unfair on sports fans. If that's the case it can't be at 5 as the Heineken cup final is on. Probably English soccer on earlier to with play offs so maybe it should just be called off? Also I'm sure people working on Saturday will prefer a 7 start.

Whereas Tyrone supporters always shout for Armagh?

If Down win on Saturday the quarter-final is in Newry.

By the way, I thought Aidan McCrory was really good today, a lot (including myself) were questioning his place. Won nearly everything in his direction in the first half and made a fine run to set up McCurry's goal.

I agree with that, i actually think he was tyrones best player today. Did very well to keep Poland quiet

Yeah for all the talk of Poland before the game, McCrory kept him very much in check.

Disappointed we didn't see anything of mcaliskey or Ronan oneill today. Still fancy Tyrone for the replay.

So?

Crowd could be affected.

For a soccer game between two Spanish sides?
