He evidently was calling non-fouls at the start of the game, whether he meant it or not.

Laying down the marker is all well and good, but he cost Tyrone by giving handy frees to Monaghan in the early stages and also cost Monaghan a yellow card for a perfectly good challenge on Sean Cavanagh. He was having a direct influence on the course of the game as an open contest and that's not the referee's job.

Sorry but overall I think he is doing a good job of controlling two teams who have committed a lot of fouls.

The yellow on Hughes was harsh and I agree he gave Monaghan a few handy frees - the one Dessie Moan got was a real shocker.

The players going out and fouling players are responsible for the foul, not the ref for blowing them.

How many times have there been 3rd man tackles off the ball, even after 4/5 yellows being dished out?

Throw in the fracas at the whistle and I have a lot of sympathy for the ref in this game.

Neeson

Boys in studio going for Tyrone. By right they'll be down to 13 men.

But no mention!

I think todays game shows how poor Donegal were when they only managed 0-7 in 70 mins v Monaghan.

Sure we shall see tomorrow how poor they are. Although Monaghan beat them, they beat Tyrone well so have mayo learned anything really?

How??? Donegal are reigning All Ireland champions and had previously beaten Tyrone?

Sean Cavanagh only started coming into the game when the referee made it clear that you can't tackle him, Darren Hughes made a great tackle on him and got booked

Neeson

What is they subbed the punchers before they could get sent off?

ShamoBuc

RED for Penrose....good stuff!!

Neeson

Never mind that there should be another red.

It would have been a disgrace if he wasn't sent off,. Gormley should be gone too, one of the dirtiest players in the country.

Ref wouldnt allow the substitution.

Brendan97

Great to see the referee taking action and not just letting him away with it

Mr.Crinklewood

Tyrone to win by 7 points.

Idiotic from Penrose. That all came from the Monaghan number 6 throwing a dig in the chest of the tyrone player.

Gormley got very lucky.

I think the ref saw Penrose's effort more clearly and I can understand why the ref didnt want to send off 2 Tyrone players for the same incident even though by rights it should have been 2 reds.

It's not hurling.

Absolutely, except when it shouldn't be a foul in the first place, then it is the referee's responsibility.

That will happen regardless obviously, giving soft fouls at the start of the fouls isn't going to change this, and it didn't change the punches at the end of the first half here either.

Done a very good job with regards sending off Martin Penrose.

What a miss!

Sending off a player who punches another player a foot in front of him after play was stopped???

intellectual dosser

What the fcuk was he thinking?

Not only was the linesman right there, the ref was 3 feet away....you've been training since November Martin!!!

Or if he hadnt blown for those frees matters would have been even worse??

theoneeyedman

Des moane should be embarrassed....bit of a puck across his neck area and he holds hisright eye....cormac Reilly is way out of his depth

Frankie Lee

Great score by big Dick Clerkin

Brendan97

Momentum has swung to Monaghan this half

He should have reacted to Gormley's punch, Penrose didn't catch him properly.
Reilly is a joke but that was to be expected.

No, I don't think so, I can't see why it would in fairness.

Edit: Tyrone with more wides than scores, very poor.

its the 1st correct decision hes made

If Tyrone win this they are some team. Would give them serious confidence for the semi and overall that they can go on and win the All Ireland

They're nowhere near good enough to win the All Ireland. Mayo will take them apart if they make it to the semis, and you couldnt see them beating Donegal if they play either

kupus

But even with 14 players can tyrone keep on, one thing with gaa teams is often the team with 15 dont know how to play with a numerical advantage

Frankie Lee

Was I hearing things or were the Monaghan fans chanting cheat at Sean Cavanagh?

intellectual dosser

Holy bejaysus!

Brendan97

Thought that yellow was harsh on Kieran Hughes

Frankie Lee

Harsh enough.

ShamoBuc

14 v 14 now

Frankie Lee

Red card surely?

Dothehustle

what's the score ??

Just vindicated a little bit!!

Frankie Lee

Terrible decision.

ShamoBuc

Cavanagh is blessed not to get a red for that.

Nailz

There goes Monaghan's advantage. Kieran Hughes will be a massive miss in that forward line.

Not the first time Sean Cavanagh has done that, lucky boy.

Brendan97

Cavanagh should be sent off, that must be the 4/5th rugby tackle

Johner

Cavanagh is very dirty!

Mr.Crinklewood

Yellow for me, it's not soccer.

Spot on decision by the rule book.

Tobyglen

Goes to show what an embarrassment the GAA is, no red card for the most cynical foul possible. This is a horrible game of football between 2 teams who simply have no class.

Neeson

I think Cavanagh is the Suarez of Gaelic football.

Good but filthy.

Many thought Monaghan werent good enough to beat Donegal either. Mayo havent been tested yet and Donegals vulnerabilities were shown in the Ulster final so anything can happen on the day.

14 v 14 now. Cavanagh and Tyrone lucky there
