Replying To kavvie: "an armagh lad grabbed a down player by the throat nearly choking him late on in the armagh down game9clean game generally) and there wasnt a word out of them about it.which was the more serious incident? connolly is no angel but hes picked on..as was paul galvin and noel o leary in the past" Laying hands on an official will always be more serious than an opposition player, doesn't matter the severity or sport.

That's hillarious in fairness, what next? Will they roll up in front of the hill doing a warm up in Connolly t shirts? I mean what's it got to do with RTÉ? the lad made a mistake, got caught and punished, move on. They had done that today with an awesome display and the last thing people were talking about was the whole Connolly incident but now they have brought it back front and centre again. Maybe they should take the issue up with gaa hq by refusing to deal with them? The only reason Connolly is suspended is because of Connolly, no one else. tearintom (Wexford) - Posts: 1337 - 25/06/2017 19:52:43 2004979 Link
Would ya look at the ladies gossiping :) The Connolly incident was turned into a complete circus and the incident was greatly over blown on purpose. Because of the player in question. Spillane went hell for leather to hang Connolly. Brolly was smart enough to expose his self serving agenda. A nothing incident was turned into a circus and tbh.. Lads talking about sponsors won't be happy? Dublin just gave a master class to what would have been the largest TV share on Irish TV over the weekend. I reckon they'll be happy enough At the end of the day, they are perfectly entitled to not speak to the media. Now I know Dublin looked good today and I'm sure some Kerry folk won't have enjoyed that but please... at least try to hide your displeasure Sure Dublin are a team in transition now while missing a large amount of top class lads through injury Don't be getting your knickers in a twist jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 25/06/2017 19:53:11 2004980 Link

Replying To Green_Gold: "I couldn't care less as these interviews with players and managers are just boring. I assume Dublin are making out that there is a witch hunt against them. Nothing compared to what Sean Cavanagh had to suffer after his tackle on Conor McManus, you would think he had murdered someone." Not a bad idea if they are. Could be that last drop of motivation needed to do 3 in a row. Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 25/06/2017 20:02:31 2004996 Link

Maybe RTE would then get their legal beagles to have a closer look at the package that they signed up to with the GAA. neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 25/06/2017 20:15:44 2005008 Link

Jim Gavin has often said that the Dubs don't concern themselves about what is said about them in the media. Things have changed. I detect a psychological tactic (most likely emanating from their team psychologist) to encourage a siege mentality to help motivate and avoid complacency in their quest for the three in a row. salvador (Roscommon) - Posts: 439 - 25/06/2017 20:20:48 2005010 Link
Replying To kavvie: "dont blame them/spillane and o rourke hung connolly out to dry.." No, Connolly hung himself out to dry and now his manager is pretty much saying that it's ok to do what he did and has decided to blame everyone else for the furore except the offender himself, I'm surprised a man of Gavin's intellect had allowed himself to have a Kevin Keegan moment and make a complete fool of himself.

Dublin sending a message to RTÉ that they control what's controversial and newsworthy not The Sunday Game. Remember the orchestrated campaign against Lee Keegan? Dublin GAA know the media influence on referees can significantly change how a referee deals with that player. I see this as an attempt to put manners on the pundits and to control the message.

It was a logical next step, control of funding, where Dublin play championship games next step the media. seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2142 - 25/06/2017 20:44:18 2005045 Link
We were totally focused on this game and look forward to meeting Kildare in the final.I thought WestMeath performed really well in the first quarter but we dug in and the panel pulled together to put in a brilliant performance. Jim robot Gavin Who really cares lads... Ros2013 (Roscommon) - Posts: 519 - 25/06/2017 20:45:26 2005047 Link

And no doubt if such a thing happened, someone will start a thread here immediately bemoaning other sports getting more coverage from the national broadcaster... ;) extranjero (Wexford) - Posts: 375 - 25/06/2017 20:45:26 2005048 Link
Glad to see Dublin take a stand on it. If other counties are ok with Spillane being judge, jury and executioner every time one of their players crosses the line then let them continue to be sheep. It's important that the all powerful anslysts are put back in their box and denying them interviews is a subtle enough message that teams won't stand for on-the-pitch decisions being overturned by wasnabe sports hacks in the SG studio. It's nothing that Harte hasn't been doing for years anyway. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 25/06/2017 20:59:30 2005061 Link
Surprised at the Dubs! Brings unwanted attention Ban (Westmeath) - Posts: 1415 - 25/06/2017 21:09:13 2005072 Link
This media ban nonsense has to stop with every single county.If they don't go along with it being interviewed by TV,Radio and newspapers the county board should be fined heavily and funding from the central pot should be cut.How difficult is it for them to just go through the motions of being interviewed or even better if they aren't happy with the media treatment of the tea perhaps the managers can simply use it as platform to have a cut back at Spillane and co if they want. This I'm not doing an interview because the media weren't nice to me really needs to stop once and for all. uibhfhaili1986 (Offaly) - Posts: 1296 - 25/06/2017 21:11:26 2005078 Link
What's Gavin trying to achieve Never seen someone trying to make a stand against something look so uncomfortable !!! We're not talking to broadcast media but must justify our stance to print media with broadcast media n the room..... like what the ???? rossy15 (Roscommon) - Posts: 617 - 25/06/2017 21:26:29 2005092 Link
