I love that wee side-step chink that Sean Cavanagh does, beautiful.

Yeah he got a couple wrong as well but tbh I'd wouldnt mind too much as the odds are that it will lead to a much better game as opposed to if he'd adopted the Ulster football approach of it's not a foul unless there's blood or broken bone.

If he'd let a whiff of anything go early on, the odds are very high this would have turned into a game of rugby league.

Ah get out of that nonsense. If it's a foul, it's a foul and it should be given as a foul, these things don't just escalate into rugby matches because of a lack of imposed authority. The referee should call the fouls for the fouls themselves.

Tyrone have gotten themselves in a great position after a slow start.

Some fine points being scored

Diabhal Beag

Between McManus and Hughes up around the square I can see a Monaghan goal if they can stem the Cavanagh momentum.

Whatsa the story with all the cards its getting riduciliuos

Poor decision there by Peter Harte, Monaghan went straight up the field and scored a point from that.

I'm not saying he's blatantly going to call non fouls.

I was saying that I wouldnt be massively concerned about the ref getting 1 or 2 calls wrong, when he's laying down a marker early on that he's not going to stand for any rubbish from either side.

Tyrone have done that a few times, over-playing instead of shooting

Long Term Louth

Penrose and Gormley are getting away with murder, persistent fouling after the ball is gone

Hammer Archer

Gormley's a lucky man if he gets away with that punch.

Dyr

penrose has earned about 3 yellows at this stage

Neeson

2 punches

Diabhal Beag

Peter Harte definitely needs to keep his head up when he's one slip pass away from setting up a goal chance. Conditions aren't helping.

Focus_sligo

Has to be a red for that punch, he was punched by 2 different players too

I think todays game shows how poor Donegal were when they only managed 0-7 in 70 mins v Monaghan.

He evidently was calling non-fouls at the start of the game, whether he meant it or not.

Laying down the marker is all well and good, but he cost Tyrone by giving handy frees to Monaghan in the early stages and also cost Monaghan a yellow card for a perfectly good challenge on Sean Cavanagh. He was having a direct influence on the course of the game as an open contest and that's not the referee's job.

If Penrose and Gormley dont go its time to stop watching this Sh!te

red card i think

Sorry but overall I think he is doing a good job of controlling two teams who have committed a lot of fouls.

The yellow on Hughes was harsh and I agree he gave Monaghan a few handy frees - the one Dessie Moan got was a real shocker.

The players going out and fouling players are responsible for the foul, not the ref for blowing them.

How many times have there been 3rd man tackles off the ball, even after 4/5 yellows being dished out?

Throw in the fracas at the whistle and I have a lot of sympathy for the ref in this game.

Neeson

Boys in studio going for Tyrone. By right they'll be down to 13 men.

But no mention!

Sure we shall see tomorrow how poor they are. Although Monaghan beat them, they beat Tyrone well so have mayo learned anything really?

How??? Donegal are reigning All Ireland champions and had previously beaten Tyrone?

Brendan97

Sean Cavanagh only started coming into the game when the referee made it clear that you can't tackle him, Darren Hughes made a great tackle on him and got booked

Neeson

What is they subbed the punchers before they could get sent off?

ShamoBuc

RED for Penrose....good stuff!!

Neeson

Never mind that there should be another red.

or just a red

It would have been a disgrace if he wasn't sent off,. Gormley should be gone too, one of the dirtiest players in the country.
