Connollys was a definite red card and utterly stupid of him, Finns was also a red but a little less dangerous
Connollys was a definite red card and utterly stupid of him, Finns was also a red but a little less dangerousJust coming home from the game in Mallow bitterly disappointed how the game played out. The referee ruined the game, no doubt about it. Both Connolly and Finn's charges were yellow card offences in my opinion. Great credit to MTU Cork for battling hard. They kept with UL until the 40th minute. Then, as expected when down to 13 men, the floodgates opened and UL sailed to victory. Thomas Walsh normally doesn't lash out cards like that. Just a pity as it was bubbling up to be a very good game.
Jack Leahy is a better prospect than Jack Cahalane in fairness but you can’t be judging anyone based on playing with 13 men eitherJack Leahy with 4 points from play looked a better player than Jack Cahalane tonight altough I understand hard game to judge with the red cards.
So we drop Ethan for Brian Sull? Yeah great shout ?Also Ethan Twomey had a nightmare for UCC. Brian O Sullivan 3 points from midfield for UL. Shocked tbh both Leahy and O Sullivan aren't in Cork squad.
Well saidLads, those were two blatant red cards. We give out enough about other counties players tackling like that...we can't have it both ways. It's very dangerous.
It's not like the UL players ran into an elbow/shoulder...they were hit coming up/or down picking the ball.
Connolly and Finn are fine players and great lads I'm sure but they deserved to walk tonight I'm afraid. Hopefully they can learn from it.

I just got an opportunity to see the clip. I don't think Connolly intended to catch him that badly, but he ran in carelessly and caught him in the head. There is an argument for red alright. 2nd red was wrong though in my opinion, particularly in the context of the game (even though referee shouldn't contextualise their decisions). It is a pity as it finished the game as a contest. I felt MTU Cork had their measure.Have a look back at it later, you'll change your mind. To be fair it might look different live at the game, but we had the benefit of seeing it back on replay.
Fellas on here roaring that Connolly took him out with deliberate elbow to the head are serious drama queens. Like I said, he ran into him and it was a borderline decision. People claiming Finns was a red might want to switch sports to something more genteel like tennis.I just got an opportunity to see the clip.

Finn was a bit unluckyFinn gone aswell, lost the heads altogether
I understand that you dont want to be shitting on a cork man but come on. Finn was unlucky his one was split second with players changing direction but English was stopped, he was not looking and connolly lined him up and smashed him into the head.I just got an opportunity to see the clip.
