National Football League 2015

Armagh didn’t take the game that seriously.

Jaysus Maurice that was a nailed on free. Out of character for the games top referee.

Deegan is some fucking idiot.

That is scandalous from Deegan, a second yellow for that.

3rd man tackle, automatic yellow card, superb officiating there, good recovery from Deegan after the earlier mistake. Incredibly brain dead from McArdle.

It’s not even a tackle.

Serious score from Mooney.

Restraining a man off the ball is an automatic yellow card. No brainer.

This isn’t basketball, mate.

Any idea who’s doing minute by minute for RTÉ today?

No yellow cards in basketball totti

Basketball is a non-contact sport.

Gaelic Football is not.

Deegan might as well throw on a Roscommon jersey at this stage.

True, but you can’t restrain a player with both your hands around his waist, that is a yellow card offence. It’s pretty straightforward really.

It’s sad to see a Down team playing so cynically. They need to get Pete McGrath back in charge ASAP.

Tadhg Peavoy would never have made those kind of mistakes.

He didn’t restrain him, there was nothing that merited a free. The Roscommon player who is a big fat mullocker felt and hand on him and theatrically made a meal out of it. It was never a foul, it was never a free and it was never a yellow. He touched the Roscommon player, that was it.

Down might as well let the shackles off now. More football like that please.

I hope Aidan Carr will not be not buying a used car soon. Senan Kilbride bought and sold him with a rudimentary dummy there.

Stopping a player from going for a ball is restraining him Totti, it’s just one of those basic sporting things. McArdle must feel pretty silly right about now.
