There is no doubt the incident looks bad slowed down, and in screenshots, but the fact that the player in question made no allegation of gouging at the time, or that no other Donegal players drew the attention of the referee to the incident should be noted.
Aaron Kernan and Senan Connell didn't believe the Dublin man was in the wrong.
But some GAA fans clearly did. https://twitter.com/halpin36/status/713822779045490688 https://twitter.com/davidrafferty10/status/713825115260190723 https://twitter.com/Brian_Mc_Mahon/status/713823133971714048 https://twitter.com/PeterFarr_/status/713822307026931718 Although some came to his defence. https://twitter.com/AsportsA1/status/713822271589203973 And Rory Gallagher felt the incident was nothing to be worried about. https://twitter.com/DaveMcIntyreNT/status/713832300857966592 A feeling shared by Jim Gavin.@SenanConnell & @AaronKernan don't believe James McCarthy attempted an eye-gouge tonight. #DUBvDON #AllianzLeagues https://t.co/Z8jKDYvS9R
