Coalisland had a man sent off for a straight red for spitting on our physios face.

@bcb1 I’ve heard this repeatedly today from numerous people and your post seems to be their source. While you have corrected your obvious error in a later post it might be advisable to edit or delete the original claim. You are both a well respected contributor on the forum and close to cross so many have taken your words as accurate and repeated them.

On the game, Coalisland don’t have the forwards to win games at this level. I actually thought many of the wides came under little or no pressure and they never threatened the cross goal. Cross have inter county standard players the full length of the field and had they taken one of their goal chances they would probably have kicked on.

As for the ‘dark arts’ both teams at it all over the place and while I agree the referee was poor there could easily have been more sent of as several players on yellow cards committed further yellow card offences.

I predicted Cross would win Ulster this year and I’ll stand by that. Last night was the worst I’ve seen them in a while but the game will stand to them.

I changed my original post. There was a spitting incident

I'm lead to believe it's more to do with antics off the field rather than on it as the ref dealt with all issues with the players. I can't guarantee it's 100% accurate, but something to do with stewards being abused verbally and maybe physically, but that depends on interpretation. It's possibly best not to speculate more in case there is an "investigation!"

You are on the right track. Apparently the 4th Officials notes went missing !!

On another issue ,it was interesting to see John Mac's interpretation of Sportsmanship in the I.N yesterday. Couldn't help thinking of that oul quote "Do as I say, not as I do ". I was at a match when he managed Cross and he alone was the reason the Referee abandoned the game.

There was a bit of a scene at the Coalisland sub area in second half - most of the stand were on their feet to see what is going on.

That's accurate and the culprit has been identified. Here's the killer, supposedly there's no sanction for theft in GAA rules. It's being looked at as "physically interfering with a match official"
