MNS reaction to O'Flynn Tackle

In fairness ankle and wrists can be hard to diagnose due to the number of very small bones. It happens everywhere, not just here.

Exactly, nobody but Harps fans are defending it so we can take it as agreed it was a bad tackle.

The first x-ray showed an old break and a 2nd x-ray has shown no fresh break..........feckin health system again they can't even tell when an ankle is broken!:mad:..............Are you watching Mary Harney?:mad:

Nah she's too busy eating her own weight in bacon.

Which is basically cannibalism...

Harps also need to take a look at their event management as the ambulance couldn't leave the ground due to cars parked across the exit. :rolleyes:

Wise up.

You probably heard the announcement to move a car alright but the doctor was treating him in the back of the ambulance. At no stage was the ambulance obstructed. Ask someone involved with your club what was going and stop jumping to conclusions.

On the tackle - it was more cynical than dirty. A red if McCafferty was last man back sure but not for intent. He didn't do him as some people are making out. Really unfortunate injury but it was his standing leg that he injured.

No offence but Cork are the worst side of the top five to play us this year. Really fortunate to get their win. Amazing given the amount of talent at Matthew's disposal. Can't help but think another manager would have them as real title contenders.

By the way, heard what Kearney did on the back of the bus. Disgusting!

And Sandmoen (the ref) - is the fifth least experienced Norwegian Referee on the FIFA list (behind Hauge, Ovrebo, Skjerven and Berntsen)- this is seen as a decent standard game for him - he rarely gets the big games domestically in the Tippeligaen due to being so far down the pecking order

Interesting appointment - sadly one which kinda backfired spectacularly - would have preferred to have seen Edvartsen or even Berntsen given the game instead



Some Finn Harps fans must have watched the "Flanders Pigeon Murderer" episode of Blackadder Goes Forth and believed that the guy in the quote below - Bob Massingbird - actually existed...

You should stick that into your blog.

Would fit in nicely with the rest of the sh!te.

I think its "Nell" McCafferty is the one that needs to wise up.
The tackle was both cynical and dirty, and if it was cynical then he meant to "do him".

Just watched it there. Shockingly bad, can't believe people would say a tackle that high dodn't deserve a red card.
