Joe McQuillan was atrocious. Turned what should have been a 3 point victory into a draw. Seán Cavanagh was lucky to be on the field after two reckless tackles in a row. Also, Mattie Donnelly clearly struck Geaney in the face on the 21 and he gave only a yellow! He saw it happen, ran in and after everything he bottles the call. As for the free on Lyne where he seemed to put his foot under the ball and the free on Moran at the end for pushing off,the less said the better.
Glad to be still up. Good league in terms of players blooded. T. Walsh did well today though he kicked a bad wide, he showed really well for the ball and won a lot of ball out in front!
Delighted to see the Gooch back. Calmed everything down and helped to kill the clock.
Was one of the Cavanagh tackles you're referring to his hit on Murphy? Because I thought that was a very good shoulder, looked like a frontal charge but to me, shoulder to shoulder hit.
Only saw a bit of the match but from what I saw there were one or two frustrating moments. Firstly, what in the name of fúck was Sean O'Brien doing getting a black card. Hand trip a fella and take a black card if you need to stop a score, or if you feel there's a break on, but he simply lost posession a good 70 yards from his own goal and lost the run of himself. Seeing stuff like that infuriates me - completely unnecessary.
Couple of minutes later - Enright getting sidestepped by Cavanagh - pathetic defending, I know Cavanagh is good, but you wouldn't see defending like that at minor level.
I thought Buckley was impressive, Crowley seemed very controlled in the middle, as did Moran. Geaney did very well when he came on - the point with his right was sublime and of course - the main man is back
Glad to still hav Div.1 status, hopefully we'll be able to run repairs and have us flying for Munster, can't wait for summer now Colm's back!0 -
Murphy had gone inside him and Cavanagh hit him square on, he made no attempt to go side on and it was a poor challenge for me. But i've only seen it once, so perhaps it wasn't so bad with the cameras. Its also a big guy hitting a little guy which always makes things look worse I suppose.Was one of the Cavanagh tackles you're referring to his hit on Murphy?

The Tyrone fans were brilliant, good humoured, well informed and very welcoming. They had no complaints and took relegation very well.
The Tyrone also formed a guard of honour for Kerry, which showed immense class. In fact they formed it after their team photo not knowing that Kerry had only gone in from their warm up a few minutes before. So after waiting for 3 minutes, Seán Cavanagh got them to break up the guard of honour, and continue with their warm up. Then they got the nod 5 or 6 minutes later that Kerry were coming out, and they went back and formed the guard again.0 -

Stephen O'Brien
has had poor enough form in relation to stuff like this - there was one other game in the league where he reacted right in front of the ref after he'd been fouled and the free had been awarded. He was haunted the ref didnt turn it into a throw ball. I had high hopes from him and he looked like a player with promise but I think he really needs to cut this out especially given how Darran was looking back to being fit and lively again compared to the injured version of last year. 0 -

I've seen them given and it did look bad - however as you say, it was Murphy being hit by Cavanagh, there was only going to be one winner. That said, Murphy did step inside and while Cavanagh did meet him from the front, I thought it was a solid shoulder to shoulder connection, a heavy challenge - yes, but for me it looked within the rules....and I'm a forward, I'd definitely be looking for a free if I took a hit like that :pac:The Tyrone fans were brilliant, good humoured, well informed and very welcoming.

That's incredibly classy, fair play to them. Was only talking to my dad about the Tyrone fans being great to chat to, they've immense respect for Kerry and they've been vocal about that in the past. Sorry to see them relegated, always a tough team to play and we've built up a great rivalry with them over the years, will miss that fixture next year.Boom__Boom wrote: »Stephen O'Brien has had poor enough form in relation to stuff like this - there was one other game in the league where he reacted right in front of the ref after he'd been fouled and the free had been awarded.

Sean O'Brien would've been happy with that hand trip :pac:
Yeah the Dublin game, thought he was going to see red for that - pushed the player in the face and he fell onto his back, ref missed it thankfully but he needs to start showing more - like you said, Darran looked lively & was involved for Geaneys goal0 -

This.
I cracked up when Enright let him get past him that easy. you know Sean Cavanagh is gonna turn to he's right foot.
The defending and in particular our tackling was porous at times. I thought J Lyne was a big culprit in this regard giving away too many soft frees.
I'm no fan of Joe but the majority of frees were due to poor execution in the tackle. It kept Tyrone in the game.
Very surprised P Crowley was taken off. He's our best defender.
Plenty to work on, our defence looks suspect, especially to runners down the middle.
Just glad we retained our Division 1 status and great to see the Gooch back.
he looked to be playing the game at a different pace to everybody else..0 -
