Dublin attack mayo in All Ireland Semi Final draw in Croke Park Sun 30 Aug 2015


Dublin attack mayo in All Ireland Semi Final draw in Croke Park Sun 30 Aug 2015

Dublin 2-12 Mayo 1-15

It was a bad-tempered match full of unsavoury of the ball  incidents.

Dublin’s Diarmuid Connolly’s penalty after 5 minutes  gave the Leinster champions a 1-7 to 0-7 interval advantage. This was for a  foul on Paul Flynn may have taken place just outside the large rectangle.

Dublin’s Michael Darragh MacAuley and Denis Bastick were black cared in the second half.

Dublin got a lot of turnovers by Mayo over carrying  and they curtailed Mayo’s forwards well

Mayo’s O'Connor converted a  penalty after Colm Boyle was brought down.  Moran then equalised following a rash Cluxton restart and was the last score with none in 5 minutes of injury time.

Dublin’s Diarmuid Connolly was shown a red card at the end for an incident involving Lee Keegan and was only one of many incidents. Not the first time Connolly has been red carded in an All-Ireland semi-final but until the St Vincent’s man curbs his aggressive behaviour it will continue to be a problem.

Dublin: S Cluxton; R O'Carroll, P McMahon, J Cooper; J McCarthy, C O'Sullivan, J McCaffrey (0-01); B Fenton, MD Macauley; P Flynn, P Andrews (0-02), C Kilkenny (0-03); D Rock, D Connolly (1-02, 1-00 pen, 0-01f), B Brogan (0-02).

Offaly County Board's overturn the four-week ban on Brian Gavin


Offaly County Board's overturn the four-week ban on Brian Gavin

 
Hurling Referee BrianGavin was reported by football Pauric Pierce for making alleged comments during the Offaly Junior Football Championship quarter-final between Clara and Kilclonfert in July but the suspension was subsequently rescinded, allowing the high-profile referee to take charge of the All-Ireland hurling semi-final between Kilkenny and Waterford on August 9.

Gavin sought a hearing which was due to take place but Croke Park intervened and requested that the hearing be brought forward to avoid a distraction for Gavin as he prepared for Sunday's match 9 Aug.

Offaly County Board's decided to overturn the four-week ban without issuing an explanation
Pierce overcame a quadruple bypass 12 months ago to referee again and believes his treatment is typical and he has a thankless job.

"I'm wondering what ruling this comes under and I want clarification. If I made a mistake in my report or done something wrong then I want to know. I just want answers."

Pierce stepped down as Offaly Coiste na nÓg chairman as result of the ruling and even after seeking clarification 13 days ago, no response has been forthcoming.

What comments did Brian Gavin make to Pauric Pierce that Offaly County Board deemed not to be offensive and not to merit a ban. And will he referee the All Ireland final as a result.

Tyrone overcome Monaghan Sat 8 Aug 2015 to advance to All Ireland Semi Final


Tyrone overcome Monaghan Sat 8 Aug 2015 to advance to All Ireland Semi Final

 
Tyrone 0-18 Monaghan 0-14

Sean Cavanagh received a yellow card from Marty Duffy for a high tackle on Neil McAdam and Tyrone goalkeeper Niall Morgan was booked by Marty Duffy just before the break for altercation with Kieran Hughes.

Tyrone’s Conor Meyler got a black card from referee Marty Duffy for bringing down Monaghan’s Kieran Hughes

Tiernan McCann theatrically threw himself to the ground after Monaghan's Darren Hughes appeared to ruffle his hair during last weekend's All-Ireland SFC quarter-final.

As a result of this incident the Monaghan player Darren Hughes was sent off by Marty Duffy and subsequently Monaghan lost the game.

Referee Marty Duffy issued three red cards overall as well two black cards and 13 bookings.

Darren Hughes straight red and Paul Finlay a second yellow for Monaghan as well as Tyrone’s Ronan McNamee a second yellow.
Conor Meyler and Tiernan McCann both black cards

The Central Hearing Committee of the GAA ruled that the Tiernan McCann’s proposed eight-week ban for his ‘dive’ in the All-Ireland quarter-final was out of order. As a result the Killyclogher clubman will now start for Tyrone in their semi-final against Kerry on Sunday 23 Aug in Croke Park.

"The Central Hearings Committee found that the Infraction as alleged was not proven but that the facts proven disclosed the less serious Infraction of attempting to achieve an advantage by feigning an injury for which he should have been cautioned and shown a yellow card."

Mickey Harte has described him as a fine young man.

McCann's team-mate Conor Meyler also had the black card he picked up in the Monaghan game rescinded.

Tyrone is the team Meath narrowly missed out to and would beat in another encounter.

What is going on here and where does all this leave Marty Duffy and the GAA and you had to pay to watch the match.

Referees  apparently  wear ear muffs while refereeing and have such poor eyesight they do not see players sledge an opponent.

Cynical Behaviour Fouls (Black Card) are:

Deliberate body collide

Deliberate trip

Deliberate pull down

Verbal abuse to an opponent or teammate

Remonstrate with a match official

Meath Hurlers controversially retained the Kehoe Cup against Wicklow in Trim Sun 9 Feb 2015
 
Meath retained the Kehoe Cup with a decisive win over Wicklow in a final that had an element of controversy
Meath  0-17                        Wicklow  0-7
Wicklow's cause wasn't helped by the red-carding of full-forward of Andy O'Brien in the 16th minute when the Garden County side were leading by 0-5 to 0-4.
Wicklow's Andy O'Brien (27) claims he was targeted during Sunday's Kehoe Cup final against Meath in Trim on Sunday and was so riled up by the abuse that he was sent off 15 minutes into the contest which the Royals won 0-17 to 0-7.
Meath  0-6                         Wicklow  0-5  Half Time
A spokesperson for the Meath County Board has said that they were unaware of the claims and were awaiting the referee's report from the game.
At Monday's County Committee Meeting Chairman Conor Tormey congratulated the Meath senior hurling team on winning the Kehoe Cup at the expense of Wicklow on Sunday.
