There was only the three men sent off in this year's McKenna Cup Final as Tyrone downed Derry after extra-time.
Cathal McCarron and Ronan McNamee were sent off for the victors while Derry's Daniel McKinless was banished after two yellows.
Tiernan McCann was not sent off though this was not for want of effort on his part.
Derry midfielder Brendan Rogers' game lasted a grand total of three seconds after he was floored straight from the throw-in by Tyrone's wing forward/pantomime villain.

Following the game, which ended 1-22 to 1-17, Brendan Rogers let his twitter followers know he was all-right.
Thanks for the messages folks. I'm fine, at least my hair wasn't ruined ?

That wasn't all. New Derry manager Damien Barton was sent to the Stand after a major brawl. Standard fare for the McKenna Cup.
Back in 1995, Damien Barton talked of a 'terrible hatred' in Ulster football after stormy Tyrone/Derry match. Tasty rivalry bubbling again.
