There's no point in arguing on here when comes to Dublin matches. nearly all other county supporters (honourable few who don't) just want to see Dublin lose and want to use a microscope to analyse any Dublin player incident or free awarded to Dublin but the silence when Dublin don't get decisions is clear that they don't view the game equally it's more biased than either participating teams as they just want to see Dublin lose. so it's waste of time discussing a match involving your county on the main page these days I find. hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 04/06/2017 12:18:12 1994325 Link 3 |

Presumably you are suggesting there are mitigating circumstances leading to Murphys second yellow ? Ie, Cooper must have done something for Murphy to react. Interesting look at it. Wonder do you take the same angle when judging Diarmuid Connolly's off the ball incident against Krry in the league final which saw him get a black card ? Murphy was already booked. It was a second yellow (resulting in red) or a black card (already on a yellow so yellow + black = red) so you can have no complaints once he is already on a yellow. Doesn't matter if the first one was harsh, when you're already on a yellow you cant do what he done. He deserved to go. End of. As for Connolly ?? Standard Connolly. Don't care how good a footballer he is, He is a liability and will get yet another ban. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 04/06/2017 12:30:23 1994339 Link 0 |

It doesn't matter who saw the Tipp club game. What matters is the reported offence. Minor interference which is defined as putting a hand on an official. Connolly is clearly guilty of that. The Tipp precedent, upheld by CHC, means Connolly is certain to receive 12 week ban. Proper order too.

It said minor offence so if putting your hand on an official is the only minor offence? I doubt it Donaghy and cillian o connor do this week in week out to influence officials decision making, there was no threatening intent in what Connolly done to cause harm, I wasn't at the club game in tipp like I'm sure nearly everybody else on here so I don't know what exactly the guy did that day. hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 04/06/2017 12:55:03 1994358 Link 2 |

I have no objection to Cooper getting carded and if that's what he did then he should have. But you started your first post asking why do I think Murphy did what he did. People seem to think that if you're provoked then you shouldn't be punished.

Great day out in Port Loais yesterday many thanks to our hosts. One of the best organised away games i have been at, its a pity we dont get more of them. Sort it out Leinster council. Carlow fans were brilliant, had some great craic with some at the game. I have serious respect for them. Someone from Kerry was talking about how deeply football is felt in that county yesterday. Well i think its easy said for Counties like my own who enjoy success, if you want to see real fans the Carlow fans are exactly that, deep passion, great knowledge and are there for there county without success. A joy to spend time with. The game itself wasn't great, the approach to Dublin seems to have followed on from the lessons of the AI final last year from Mayo, Kerry followed the model with a twist in the league final and Carlow yesterday, bodies behind the ball, break up Dublin momentum. Its not pretty on the eye but its effective. Thats not a criticism you have to have a strategy to beat Dublin. But i think we are in for a poor year of football if im being honest. Carlow played their system brilliantly have some very good players, Murphy obviously could grace most sides, haha and the lad i only know as "horse" by the Carlow fans at 4, bulled through the lines a few times. Best of luck in the qualifiers and thanks for the craic yesterday. Another sluggish display by the Jacks yesterday, we really look of our usual pace and tempo. I am hoping that this is a new training regime as opposed to a lack of hunger or father time catching up with a few. Some concerns for me to be worked on are getting the ball into the forward line, we have to anticipate that every county is going to have at least 14 men behind the ball ala Mayo, Kerry and Carlow. Bringing the ball into the swarm and working the opportunity and recycling the ball, i dont think will bring us enough scores, teams will learn how not to give away frees and we may have difficulty. We need a game plan around triggering the forward line. There just isn't enough ball getting into it. Another concern is the squad is getting a bit stretched, injuries to Costello, Small, MDM, Paul Flynn? and a pending Dermo suspension may leave us lighter then usual. Some players seem out of form, i thought Macker and Mannion looked of it yesterday. Some choices of shooting rather then passing were poor. So loads to work on.

On the plus side im glad we had a game of that style yesterday, we will learn nothing thumping teams by 20 points, especially if we get that far we have the Ulster side of the draw and Kerry and Mayo play that style of football these days anyway. Three players had great games yesterday, Kilkenny is just brilliant he played well in midfield yesterday, but he plays everywhere, half back, midfield, half forward, he is probably the best and most underrated footballer in the game. James McCarthy also consistently awesome. Jack McCaffery is a rolls royce of a footballer, just a pleasure to live through his playing years, if Dublin win it i think he will be POTY again. I think one thing to highlight from yesterday of the 9 forwards who played for Dublin yesterday, 4 were making championship debuts. So integration of talent into this team is an ongoing process and we cant judge to critically, these lads need opportunity and experience to develop. Good to see Murcheon on the bench also.

Dubs fans defending this nonsense are doing no favours for themselves. I defend Dublin on here all the time when the chat starts about funding etc etc but let's call a spade a spade here. The Tipp incident was covered in the media and the report was made public. Are you suggesting the circumstances that led to the ban are not what I posted?

I'm suggesting you seem to think both incidents are identical when one clear fact we know is that comerford was sent off by the ref for his incident, where as connolly wasn't despite the ref and linesman clearly seeing it. So comerford case was a straight forward disciplinary issue for the cccc whereas cccc are meeting to see if Connolly has any case. The very fact the ref deemed it not worthy of any punishment at the time makes this a completly different situation.

Lads let's just wait to see what the CCCC has to say tomorrow! No point going over all this until more is known really, by the letter of the law Connolly should get a Suspension, but will just have to wait and see how it goes. jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 05/06/2017 18:59:40 1995192 Link 1 |

Fair post Jimbo. I am only looking for some of the Dubs to at least acknowledge how stupid he was and take his medicine.

No your doing like spillane brolly and most journalists and applying the assumption that because comerford got suspended means Connolly must and assuming they done the same thing which by all accounts seems to be completely wrong if what is being said comerford did.

No actually I'm going by the GAA rulebook. Maybe have a look at the rules regarding what Connolly did and let me know what you think? And just because tje ref or linesman didn't deal with the incident properly doesn't mean there is no case to answer.
