Black card in second half - if you watch the video back, no 15 clearly grips AK's arm and drags him down to the ground. Stupid tackle IMO - no need in that area of the pitch. Anyhow it wouldn't have changed the outcome.

That’s the way I saw it and looks fairly clear as well although again a still image doesn't tell full story

McPartland got some wack before this incident. He had been holding his head when it happened.
Also the officials letting the referee down yet again. After the first couple of minutes of the game in an incident off the ball a cross player makes contact with the clan na gael man in the face with his boot and yet he gets away with it. Yet it happened right infront of them.
Clans man deserved all he got in that one- was roaring in Rians face and shoving him to the ground like a clown. Didn’t see a punch or a kick by either man tbh but was fair bit away. Didn’t work out too well at the end of the day for the Clans lad.

Got some wack, but yet could play on for another 2 minutes. Then when the black card happened, cross got a point, he straight away dropped to his knees. If there was a concern of a head injury, he should have underwent a proper HIA, which takes longer than 30s on the sideline. Watching it back, he was refusing to go off, but the ref insisted, only for him to come straight back on in the next break of play.

Plain and simple, it was game management, but it needs to be dealt with. It took 3 minutes of the black card away.

If the incident you're referring to is the no 3 and RON, when you watch it back, you will see No 3 hit RON first. If no 3 focused on his own game rather than sledging certain Cross players about their families and personal life, maybe they may not have ran riot in the 2nd half.
Of course it was. If the shoe was on the other foot Cross would have been at the same, as would any team with anything about them. Blame the rule book.

You should change your name to Columbo with the new slogan "if you watch it back"

I might actually agree with you on the first incident, however the one that the black was given for clearly shows Kernan charging the man, he may well have gripping him on his way down but I believe the ref had already possibly blown the whistle.

The kick I never seen but if you are justifying a kick by saying he was hit first then you are clearly saying he kicked which is by the rules a red card.

You seem very intent on portraying the clans as villains and the Cross as saints so we will prob never agree here.
Salty. I never saw a ‘kick’ ‘drag’ or whatever you say. None of these so called dubious decisions would have changed the outcome of the game.

Not once did I say cross are saints, but it’s annoying when a player is consistently targeted to get a reaction and ultimately sent off. Maybe if Clans focused on their own game they would’ve had a chance.

There’s a reason they’re called the DLBs ;)
