Foul on Canty?

legspin

There has been some speculation as to Kieran Donaghy fouling Graham Canty prior to his first goal in the final.

I am curious as to what he is supposed to have done wrong. Granted, I am more than just a bit biased but I still can't see what was wrong with the tackle.

Opinions?

(Not trolling, genuinely curious)

It was Ger Spillane, not Canty who was dispossessed by Donaghy (Canty was the one who gave him the hospital pass in the first place).
The comments the poster is referring to were in yesterday's Evening Echo by the coach of the Cork ladies football team Eamon Ryan. Oh I know what you're going to say, "Here's Cork again with their sour grapes".
This is exactly what he said :

"The goal just after half-time changed everything. However I huge problems with that goal.
The word 'ripped' was used by some people to describe the way Kieran Donaghy got the ball off Ger Spillane.
If you rip the ball from someone that’s a free. Everyone said Cork didn’t use the ball away from danger quickly enough, but to my mind Donaghy fouled the ball and it should have been a free-out.
He pulled the ball out of Spillane’s hand. You’re supposed to slap the ball with an open palm and I think he may have even pulled his hand as well.
I'm not blaming Donaghy and I’m not taking from Kerry, but I believe games sometimes hinge on little things like that.
I still think Kerry on the day were going to win, though the result would have been in doubt for far longer."

Before we have a plethora of Cork-haters posting garbage, note the last sentence again:

"I still think Kerry on the day were going to win, though the result would have been in doubt for far longer."

I actually thought it was a foul at the time but didn't say it as I would be accused of being a sore loser.
Was it a foul? I honestly don't know but the point is Cork should not have been hand-passing the ball around in such a casual nature so near to their own goal (especially when they are no good at hand-passing).
Actually there were some people saying that Donaghy's second goal was a square ball and should have been disallowed but on the other hand Kerry should have had a penalty when Shields pulled Donaghy to ground in the penalty area in the first half.
So Kerry should have got two goals not three if the referee had done his job properly.

I was just clarifying matters, that's all!

Thank you, that was all I wanted to know. I thought it was a perfectly legit tackle (and still do btw), but now I can see what the fuss was about.

And, to whatever poster said I was a troll, since when has asking for a clarification been trolling?

Wow, give the guy a break. Wouldnt call this thread trolling, he is just looking to find out what the foul, whether commited or not, was meant to be.

Stop nitpicking build a small wall get over we won, we won, we won.

HAHA,you know I was looking over some old threads from the summer and I looked at the Dublin-Meath replay thread and the bitching from Meathman was hilarious.How I chuckled.:D

I think this forum needs some life injected back into it.
