AFTER THE CONTROVERSY surrounding Tiernan McCann’s proposed suspension and subsequent appeal, Maurice Deegan was bound to be keeping a close eye on both sets of players this afternoon at Croke Park.
Deegan was called into action to award a couple of black cards to Marc Ó Sé and Ronan McNamee, and he also found himself awarding Tyrone a penalty in the second half.
However it was a penalty they didn’t get that irked the RTÉ panel, with second half substitute Padraig McNulty booked for diving following this incident near the Kerry goal.
Joe Brolly didn’t hold back with his criticism of Deegan for this, and several other calls during the game.
“He did something to Tyrone that normally happens between consenting adults in private”.
His fellow panelist Colm O’Rourke added that while it should have been a penalty, he feels Tyrone’s reputation went ahead of them.
What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.
That’s a huge blow to United’s europa league hopes
Yeah focus on the negative about Jose instead of the match result and performance typical.
@Paul: yeah, not one positive adjective about United’s performance in the whole article.
Bizarre that Mourinho was booed by the Chelsea fans. I missed portions of the match so might be missing something…
@James Clancy: it’s Chelsea fans, what do you expect?!!
@James Clancy: United fans will boo him yet. It’s his scorched earth departures that cause it really.
@Brian Curtin: small club Chelsea
Chelsea are a skummy club for the way they taunted Mourinho like that.would not expect anything more from the Chelsea blues Brothers supporters club.
They should have let him go. I doubt he’d be able to punch his way out of a paper bag and could do with a good slap.
He was actually heading to the exit before the final whistle only the stewards made him stay till the end
that was a real ‘hold me back…please hold me back’ he’d have had his arse handed to him if he’d got near that guy
Good result for city
Great crack!
