Gareth37

Absolutely shocking stuff!!!!

Should be investigated.

I counted 28 wrong decisions

I think he gave it to let on he wasn't biased.

The other 27 decisions were in favour of Derry.

Im sure the GAA will take action after this

Yeah Colm O Rourke was giving out about him at half-time saying he was too small!

It was a decent game. Derry got a lucky goal and Donegal got a penalty which should have been a free.

Derry should win Ulster if they get past Fermanagh which will be tough for them. Fermanagh were under rated.

I suppose it depends on what referee turns up :pac:

Derry kicked wide after wide in the first half and still won ...they could take beating especially after winning the league...problem is ulster is so competitive and kerry only have to peak for august and september..

Duffy is usually a good referee but some referees do have bad days.I think he bottled it after making one wrong decision and it went steeply downhill for him then.

I was sure he saw the Doherty incident.That was a definite red imo.

bookiebasher

yes he could face suspension as it was as clear as day on tv

Very easily it seemed. It was funny seeing Com O'Rourke giving out given his county's record in that kind of thing.

Strangely enough, where I was, both sets of fans were in agreeance on the ref. Shocking and whistle happy.

I was behind the goal where the penalty was given and it looked to me as if Christy Toye was tripped but I need to see it on the box later.

Looked liked he was dragged to me! Not sure if it was in the box.

He punished Walsh for overcarrying with about 10 minutes to go, big call.

Overall I don't think he favoured anybody, far too whistle happy. Ruined the flow of the match.

Toye seemed to be just in the box but we only see it for a millisecond.:D

The Ref seemed to have a good view of it.

Some of the frees on both sides where puzzling.

Had a good view of the punch. Doherty definitely lashed. I take it the linesman seen it as the Ref talked to him. Definitely a yellow at least.

K-9

From the Sunday Game he got the penalty 100% correct. Good call!

MementoMori

Agreed with the Penalty decision. - The defender followed through with his leg out, caught the attacker with his knee. Attacker was in the square when fouled, but the impact of the fould knocked him back to the very edge of the square - 100% penalty

Thought he had a very poor game in general, but it didnt affect the result.

Was very inconsistent on his use of yellows and black. Some of the yellows he gave were very harsh. Also he got a number of decisions wrong. He was also overtly fussy with small things.

One small thing which I was curious about - Donegal keeper took a quick kick-out but didnt use the tee, then the ref whistled and insisted that the keeper used the tee. Didnt think the use of a tee was ever mandatory - Am I going mad or what?

I thought it was mandatory when they brought it in for the trial period during the league (2007?), but then changed it to make it optional.
