Just noticing all the big games of the weekend were won by the team with an extra man on the field at the finish; Galway,Kerry and mayo etc . Donegal and Mon would probably have won 15 v 15. Almost impossible in modern football to win with a man less and discipline has to be high on agendas. First half yellow carders need to be subbed if possible.

Dubs under Gilroy practiced with 14 Since then Dublin have a good record playing 15 v 14 and have won most games when having a man sent off jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 28/01/2018 23:48:10 2071715 Link

the dubs are generally very successful when we are down to 14 men in recent years to the point of actually not losing confidence at all as a fan when we lose a player. I've actually seen games where we go down to 14 and perform better waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 29/01/2018 01:25:15 2071729 Link
I'm not sure if the League Sunday panel even mentioned the fact that Donegal played most of the game a man down, or that Paddy McBrearty was clearly the best player on the pitch. Why is that I wonder? greatpoint (USA) - Posts: 427 - 29/01/2018 11:39:07 2071849 Link
As I said up above Another good win for Dublin while down a man away from home What a team. jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 03/02/2018 20:57:30 2073680 Link
Replying To jimbodub: "As I said up above Another good win for Dublin while down a man away from home What a team." In fairness Dublin can do it cause they are potentially the best football team ever. Doesn't mean they wouldn't win by more with 15 v 15. But 95 per cent of teams really struggle with a man down and if they do eke out a win its a sign they were superior . Malonemagic (Laois) - Posts: 766 - 03/02/2018 22:56:57 2073716 Link
Didn't Kerry beat Mayo last night with 13 players. thelongridge (Offaly) - Posts: 1741 - 04/02/2018 12:37:54 2073815 Link
Replying To thelongridge: "Didn't Kerry beat Mayo last night with 13 players." We're they not in control of the game already ? Malonemagic (Laois) - Posts: 766 - 04/02/2018 12:54:24 2073820 Link
Replying To Malonemagic: "We're they not in control of the game already ?" You'd think it'd be easier to come back against 13. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7345 - 04/02/2018 15:01:33 2073850 Link
I started this topic a while back. Spring to mind again tonight . Tipperary losing by a point to Cavan and missing out on promotion after stupid red card in first half. Monaghan would probably be in league final too but for a stupid first half red in salthill . Teams work so hard only to let indiscipline cost them.

It was in the 2nd half, but yeah, it lost Tipp the game. Completely needless. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5012 - 26/03/2018 00:14:32 2088066 Link
Replying To jimbodub: "Dubs under Gilroy practiced with 14 Since then Dublin have a good record playing 15 v 14 and have won most games when having a man sent off" Every manager, from club to county, trains with 14 on 15. Common sense, at some stage you are going to get a man lined. Discipline has become a big thing among managers, Mickey Harte usually subs defenders immediately if they get a yellow. Can't run the risk of going down to 14. The_Fridge (Tyrone) - Posts: 2088 - 26/03/2018 09:20:28 2088113 Link
