Geographically I'd say Thurles and Tullamore might get the nod. Depends on the draw.
Games would be all ticket I guess

It was brought in exactly for cynical fouling.
The Gaelic Football Rule Changes which become operative on 1 January 2014 are as follows:

Introduction of a Black Card for Cynical Behaviour Fouls.


Cynical Behaviour Fouls

1. Deliberately pull down an opponent.
2. Deliberately trip an opponent with the hand(s), arm, leg or foot.
3. Deliberately body collide with an opponent after he has played the ball away or for the purpose of taking him out of a movement of play.
4. Threaten or to use abusive or provocative language or gestures to an opponent or a teammate.
5. Remonstrate in an aggressive manner with a Match Official.

I agree but notice I said 'in practice' this is how almost universally all referees interpret the rule.

Just reflecting on the game yesterday I kind agree with Aaron Kernan assertion that Clare’s running game caught up with them in the heat and we in many ways got stronger due to the way we tend to kick! They where also a little more cynical which meant that they totally over run in this last 7 min. As others have mentioned we are very wasteful and it wasn’t until we started to play with real purpose did that change. Very happy to see 3 19 year olds play, Owens was very unlucky for the peno but he had to go for the ball. I think from a management point of view they should be very proud of the lads, desire heart and application are a minimum to play at this level but on occasions we as a county have been short of this!!! Have to say Im sick to the back teeth of people still talking about who isn’t there and why. It’s hard to accept but the reality is this is going to be the norm for a while, players will come and go! I don’t think it matters a damn who the manager is players will always opt out! What I did see yesterday was a group of proud men prepared to play and represent their county (those Organge jerseys look even better on a sunny day) Their clubs should be very proud of them. For me this is on of the highest accolades for a club, to have representation on county team. Clare are no bad side league form will indicate this, they are a team that also played in the 2016 quarter final and beat Roscommon along the way!! People say to be careful for what you wish for, but I want Queens County for so many reasons!
