    Correct, should have been a TMO call for lineout at 8m.

    Another FP missed from Jordan.

    **** ref.

    How is that not a card when Beirnes was?

    That’s absolutely worthy of at least a check for yellow.

    That's more dangerous than Beirne's

    That should be a YC minimum

    You got to think OConnells job has to be at risk with the way the line out is still a shambles

    If Beirne was a red, that should be a YC at the least

    McCloskeys ability to carry into contact, take multiple defenders and then get the ball away is the basis for all the good we are doing.

    he has been so close to setting 2 lads away for a run in.

    This game is a complete mess so far. From the coverage, to the stadium (seems like a shite atmosphere on TV), to the referee, to the performance of both teams.

    All the hype and we end up with this shite

    Not even a yellow for a swinging arm.into the head?

    TTMO definitely has an agenda

    "Well, yeah, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man"

    Swinging arm to the head isn't a yellow because the player hit was wearing a green jersey.

    I'm partial to your abracadabra
    I'm raptured by the joy of it all

    Beirne gets red for standing still but no check there flying in with a high shot then.

    Hopefully Ryan can get back on. Lineout gone to pot without 2 of our 3 locks

    That's a shocking non-call for the high tackle. Beirne had a fraction of a second to react, Clarke had TOB lined up from meters out

    Decent performance really. Baird and JGP the standouts for me.

    Crowley is showing a lot of ambition, but his execution has been off a fair bit. Needs to calm down. Been following a mistake with another very quickly after.

    They have played 4 games there, in good weather. Croke park can play a season of games, hold 2 concerts and have it turned around in a week to hold an nfl game and look immaculate on a fraction of the budget.

    Theres amateur club teams with better pitches than this.
