Anyone think Tyrone's hand-passing is dodgy-borderline throws?

Yes but it has been a feature of a lot of games since the controversy of the underhand hand pass.

Only the GAA would have a rule in the rulebook which the referees are told to just ignore.

Some strange decisions going Tyrone's way. Poor final ball costing them. That's ridiculous out of the Derry keeper. Should be gone. Mulligan the key man at the minute.

Peter Hughes the main man atm imo. Getting alot of ball.
What club is he from

Eskra.

Easily the most inept refereeing performance i've witnessed at county level!

Surely when you see the standard of referee's at present, there's justification for paying them. That way inteliigent football people may then offer their services. At present it takes a clown with no wit to do it!

What is the obsession with shooting from way way out. Thats 4-5 attacks wasted in last 5 min. Add in the easy frees mugsy and SoN have missed...z

Referee is absolutely brutal here. What may have been a half decent game has been completely ruined!

McCarron scores his 2nd point.
Tyrone 1-13 Derry 1-07

I agree about the referee. I'd be a neutral in terms of today's teams but would agree that Derry could feel hard done by a couple of decisions.

Cathal McCarron has impressed consistently throughout the match-otherwise a mediocre performance by all. Mulligan good first half but not showing for the ball at all second half, apart from swallow dive.
Top teams would devour either of these teams. At least Derry have an excuse.

Mccarron has been very impressive , Derry cleaned out in the middle third in the 2md half

blewuporstuffed · January 28, 2012, 09:05:36 PM

Never a penalty that

Thought Cathal McCarron was MOTM. Mickey murphy got the TG4 award somehow!

No complaints about the result. Didn't see the red card incident either but may well have been red. Referee absolutely ket as already covered.

As for Derry well a couple were shown up today. Dillon, McCallion, Conway, Forrester I can't see appearing for the Cship. We need GOK, Skinner, Muldoon back and the sooner the better!

Murphy was decent enough but thought McCarron was excellent throughout.

The Kielts will also be an addition to Derry too, no?? Would Tyrone have many players to come back bar Cavanagh?

Looking at tonight's game, you couldn't exactly say the top tier of teams, Dublin, Kildare, Cork, Kerry, Donegal, for example will be fearing wither Derry or Tyrone too much but I get the impression there's more to come from both teams in the months ahead. Somw decisions went against Derry but the ref tried to make up for it by giving a penalty at the end. Tyrone far from clinical when shooting, could have been worse for Derry had Tyrone been more potent up front.
