Do you ever stop referencing Kerry in your posts, i dont read the guff on here but every time i do you seem to be having a dig. Shifting the limelight to something Kerry related is getting a bit tiresome

Was Connolly never targeted before Darragh wrote his article Jim? You've obviously never played the game kid ,coz it has always gone on. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 04/06/2017 14:50:22 1994444 Link 2 |

Completely agree with you. I had a sentence at the start of that post after I said officials dont protect him. The admin censored it. I just said "He has learnt nothing". Meaning he knows guys are gonna foul him punch him etc. Hes the best player in the country on his day. They are gonna do their best to put him off. Some of the nonsense he has to put up is disgraceful. But he should know by now that he is a marked man. And officials have to look at themselves and protect the better players. But Connolly falls for this all the time. But nothing in the incident with the linesman. He made a horrible call with the line ball. If anything is hurt it will be the linesmans pride after making such a bad call. JayP (Dublin) - Posts: 1772 - 04/06/2017 16:05:00 1994480 Link 0 |
I think Le Keegan deserves a lengthy ban for this. Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 2749 - 04/06/2017 16:12:00 1994485 Link 3 |
It's difficult to know what admins will allow or not since there are no guidelines on this.

Do you think O'Se was right to talk about Connolly like that ? Yes I have played the game but thankfully I didn't have a celebrity and house hold name former player directly calling me out in the national media to be target of cynical tactics. jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 04/06/2017 16:32:41 1994496 Link 1 |
Patrick o Connor from Clare put his hand on the umpire in the first half there. I am waiting for the same uproar and 12 week ban. And the contention that Clare always get their way with disciplinary issues. Oh no wait its not the hated Dublin so it won't be mentioned.

Nearly every topic on this forum descends into a Dublin and Kerry boxing match and to be honest it is getting tiresome. Can we not just deal with then incident in hand? Green_Gold (Donegal) - Posts: 1874 - 04/06/2017 18:04:29 1994548 Link 2 |

12 weeks is the minimum punishment but it would be outrageous if it was anything over that. The incident if with another player would be a nothing incident, however he is screwed by it being with a linesman. It was a moment of madness and he will be punished for it. Forget the other bans already handed out this year, in isolation it is 12 weeks and it is hard to argue otherwise. It is going to be a tough summer for the lad as he cannot train with the team for those weeks. I hope he doesn't pack it in but he needs to work on his temper. His black card in the league final wasn't even provoked which is scary as Crowley was only on 90 seconds or so and Kerry were attacking. I believe had he not done that his experience would have carried Dublin through to win.

Well Jim Darragh is paid by the independent to give his opinions so I do believe he was right. And Darragh has been proved right imo. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 04/06/2017 18:55:49 1994580 Link 0 |
Grand. Doesn't surprise me tbh I wouldn't be happy with a former Dub player calling for a Kerry man to be cynically targeted But then again, I was brought up well. jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 04/06/2017 19:18:33 1994595 Link 3 |
I think that sort of response speaks volumes.

Ive been looking at this incident and the more I see it the less I see. The officials made nothing of it during the game and this may well swing any decision in Connolly's favour. Yes there was a hand on, but Diarmuid is too beautiful a player to deprive the whole country from seeing his skills, I think if you put it to a vote, most of the country people would vote to keep Connolly on the pitch for the rest of the summer.

Whats wrong with you? I hated when players targeted Paul Galvin when he playing, the same as I'm not a fan of that shite on other players including when we did it, and still do. You are a disgrace to Kerry GAA with comments like that. Any real football fan would wish this never happened, the season will be the lesser without the talents of Connolly. However, if a player does something stupid, provoked or otherwise, they still deserve to be sanctioned.
