Did Jonny Cooper dive?

(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


Replying To FootblockREF:  "The whistle had been blown and McManus had kicked the ball away so Coopers only reason to go over the McManus was to get in his face and provoke a reaction. McManus hit him and Cooper went down to try and get him a yellow or maybe worse in my own opinion. Maybe Cooper was genuinely hurt but his motivation was to get McManus booked and his actions were the same. This isn't new lads, remember a Derry player exaggerating a push in 1996 to get a Monaghan player sent off."
1996 ? Jaysus lad but you're carrying that around a while, eh .

This thread is like in days gone by when you had some bomb going off somewhere in these islands and you had a reporter on demanding some SF spokesman condemn the action. Not a sorry, not a regret a politicised condemnation. And a true county fan will never condemn their man and guess what it applies to all 32 counties.

I'll see ya and raise ya! Ger Power faked an injury that got Dick Clerkin's da sent off in an semi final in 1985!

Our own goalkeeper dived last year in a match and I must admit every Donegal suppprter was really embarrassed- same happened in 2011.

Most GAA supporters hate it .
