@LeeLoughran1975 @rtenews Talking absolute nonsense on twitter, blue check mark, pretends to be an irish patriot while supporting british football teams. You are a the funniest cliche on earth.

Anyone who knows the laws of the game understands why it was a yellow card.
Have long said it, if you want to comment on a referees decision go out do the course and get your fifa badges.

Derry in disbelief as Pat Hickey not sent off after catching the ball to end visitors' attack. thesun.ie/sport/16902432…
English
@sean_tougher @bodgek Not really. The reason this wasn't a red doesn't mean every ball over the top being caught won't be a red.
English
@paulkenny17 @bodgek Deliberate handball is not a red card offence. How do people not know this?
English
@bodgek It was a red deliberate handall, going to portlaoise today. Where's me jersey
English
@loreor2 @VMSportIE But it didn't prevent an obvious goal scoring opportunity
English
@HotTakesOnly90 @VMSportIE It was a ridiculous hand ball which directly prevented a goal scoring opp, so a red. Figure of speech regarding the stupidity!

@loreor2 @VMSportIE Show me exactly where in the rule book it says that red cards are given for stupidity🤦♂️
English
@HotTakesOnly90 @VMSportIE If a 12yr old was playing GAA beforehand I would laugh it off, but thats a joke. Give your head a wobble, its a red for pure stupidity alone.
English
@HotTakesOnly90 @celticbert @VMSportIE I’ve been in that situation hundreds of times and I’ve never once thought about catching it but now I know Harvey is in charge id be catching it every time
English
@Licha0741 @celticbert @VMSportIE If you think that should be a red card you either do no appreciate the actual situation or you do not know the rule. It was not an obvious goal scoring opportunity. There was no reason for a red card
English
@HotTakesOnly90 @celticbert @VMSportIE I know the rules of football & I’d have expected a red card if I did that in the same situation. Id be instructing my players to do the same thing in any game Harvey officiates & we will see how long the yellow lasts .
English
Can't believe I'm on here agreeing with bohs fans about a decision by Rob Harvey. This must be what it felt like to be on Epstein Island without being a nonce.
English
@Licha0741 @celticbert @VMSportIE Anything could have happened so it is a yellow card. It is becoming very apparent that you do not know the rules of football.
English
@HotTakesOnly90 @celticbert @VMSportIE I played CB & this is the worst situation to be in as a CB , anything could have happened so it’s a red . Hickey took away any jeopardy from the situation & the only option is to give him a red .
English
@Licha0741 @VMSportIE Yeah, maybe he does. That is what makes it a promising attack. It is a yellow because hickey stopped a promising attack.
English
@HotTakesOnly90 @VMSportIE How do you know what would have happened? Maybe he controls it through on goal & scores a 30 yard screamer or he beats Todd and gets taken out . It’s a red because hickey took any danger out of the situation
English
@JayMBee1988 @derrycityfc Deliberate handball is not a red card offence. I'm baffled by how many times I have had to say this on here since last night.
English
Players get get off for unintentional handball, this was as blatant and deliberate as they come.
A @derrycityfc red card at Wokehemians is almost obligatory too 🙄
Look behind you@HotTakesOnly90
@celticbert @VMSportIE Because it's not the first time i've seen a football. Actually watch the clip. The only reason people are freaking out about it is because of how bizarre and intentional the handball was. However, bizarreness and intent are not factors for DOGSO so yellow card is correct.
English
@CiaranRoddy The yellow card and the no penalty decisions were both correct. The elbow was wrong. I don't think there is even argument that should be had about any of the decisions all 3 are quite clear in what the correct outcome was.
English
I may be in the minority here, but the obsession with refs in the LOI is mad.
Ref has an argument in each of these videos
Re Harvey, stopping an attack isn’t a red card offence. It’s only a red card if it’s DOGSO.
Ref has a decent argument it’s not in that category.
Gav@G7SEV
This is just tonight. Dundalk v Shels - Animasahun should’ve been sent off for an elbow on Boyd. Drogs v Sligo - Sligo should’ve had a penalty as Agbaje handled it. Bohs v Derry - Hickey should’ve been sent off for handball and stopping an attack.
English
@KianKenny20 Nothing helps you get over a loss more than seeing some degenerate who has never heard of any Irish team crying in the replies to their post after losing their 2 peso acca
English
@macdarabueller So he glosses over the fact that he made a half-gesture to signal for a goal kick and then he claims that the penality was correct despite the attacker clearly initiating the contact with the goalkeeper? I was prepared to give him credit for talking publicly but this is awful.
English
Interesting to read the behind-the-scenes piece on shadowing ref Rob Hennessy.
From night in Tolka Pk when he signalled for a goal kick, Rovers players stopped but he didn't blow whistle and Shels scored. Comms with assistant ref crucial to that decision

English
@irishan0n7 @VMSportIE Yellow was most likely for stopping a promising attack. Failing that, the deliberate handball would have warranted a yellow card.
English
@VMSportIE Was it not because the whistle blew before he chucked the ball away? And the yellow was for time wasting, not handball? Such a strange moment
English
@iamluke2903 Because it isn't an obvious goal scoring opportunity
English
@ShaneTagbajumi Got away with 2 players not getting reds. Incredible mentality to be blaming the ref.
English
@seidodge He could have just kicked the ball out of play. You can see from behind the goal that the derry player isnt even getting the ball and he overran it with a defender covering so he would not be through on goal either way. Only people worse than refs at refereeing are football fans
English
I asked a ref about this. He said it’s the correct decision. It isn’t denying a goal scoring situation. It’s just a handball. It’s defo weird looking but catching a ball doesn’t give it “extra handball”
As an aside he said Hickey should be dropped for being thick
