[QUOTE=“caoimhaoin, post: 986557, member: 273”]Proof if ever there was that you don’t know the game, the rules or whats going on. Kernan was out around the 40 for massive parts of the game and kicked a few superb passes that led to scores. He was often starting the play in closer to goal, but he was playing the real No.11 role. Dyas was just droppping back, but the main link man was McKeever who had his best game in a while.
The ref let Armagh away with constant fouling, especially this pushing a guy on the ground down onto the ground. Its ridiculous this has not been stamped out.[/QUOTE]
You’re talking through your arse as usual. Kernan was Armagh’s third most advanced forward, you don’t play a no. 11 in that role. Dyas was consistenly getting on the ball and linking play up.
Amagh’s tacking was very good yesterday - solid and disciplined and the referee had to manufacture frees to keep Roscommon in the game. The fours free Roscommon scored from in the first half were utterly shocking call, there was another incident in the second half where Cregg lost his footing and charged head first straight into Donaghy and the referee inexplicably gave a free in front of the post. Kinsella kept Roscommon in the game and he’s the reason the gap was only 5 points.

A huge amount of Armaghs tackling is against the rules. There are two tackles in gaelic football, shoulder to shoulder and an attempt to dispossess with the hand on the ball.
The 2nd half free you talk of was a clear free in, he was pushed to the ground clearly, you are an ignorant fool.

It should have been a free out for charging, you botton. Armagh’s tackling is legitimate and no different to any other team in the Championship, it’s just they are better at it. You seem to be advocating a non-contact sport.
I watched that game aswell. He was like a man amongst boys. It was easily the single best performance I have ever seen. I believe he tore his hamstring off the bone in Australia. He is fast becoming the player he promised to be in that Hogan Cup final.
No, i just want a consistency of refereeing and application of the rules. Armagh are agressive in the tackle and tackle hard, neither of hich i have a problem ith, but technically they are poor alot of the time.
I shouldn’t expect you to understand that though.
