Nice bit of needle now.
Fermanagh have been appalling. That’s 10 wides now and a second black card for them.
Two of the Fermanagh half backline gone to black cards.
Harsh enough black for McCloskey there.
That last black card was weird - why was it a black card but not a free? Can the linesman not intervene at the time of the incident?
That’s a tremendous point.
Ryan Jones should have been sent off for a clear punch a few minutes ago. Got a yellow.

5-5 at half time. Tomàs Corrigan kicked the last three points of the half, 2 good ones from play. Westmeath will have a strong breeze behind them for second half.
Agreed. Not sure what the linesman saw that meant it was a yellow card. He had two swings, one was particularly punchy.
Chaps, do you agree that there’s a distinctly Ulster roar at GAA matches? It’s very defiant with a hint of aggression and comes from deep within the throat. Usually heard when the crowd in a stand are behind the flight of a ball that’s sailing over the bar.

Dara O’Shea seems to be from the same school of punditry omerta as Tommy Carr in regard to such incidents. Hardly surprising when you consider what both got up to during their careers.
Senan Connell always has the manner of somebody who is on his third pint.

Not unique to Ulster counties.
The type of throaty and aggressive roar is pure Ulster.
Darragh O’Se is a diabolical co-commentator too. Mumbling bullshit and repeating himself constantly. Almost making me wish for Martin Carney.

I’ve heard it used in several specific instances by Dublin fans, and unfortunately on one memorable occasion, by Laois fans.
2 wides for Westmeath to start the second half.
Fermanagh are collectively very fond of the fancy outside of the foot shot on goal.
Just as I typed it, Quigley nails one of them.
The score of the match my hole.
Well how was that not a penalty?
