What next on Halloween day a player might get praised for showing terrific initative for lighting a black cat and throwing it in the free takers direction hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 18/09/2017 22:47:18 2047796 Link 0 |
As Philly McMahon said tonight in Smithfield mayo threw everything at us haha they must have plenty of money as we couldn't afford to give away our GPS's like that hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 18/09/2017 22:50:54 2047800 Link 0 |
Look what Lee Keegan did was poor sportsmanship but I don't think he should be crucified over it. There was quite a bit of unsporting behaviour near the end but what do people expect, this is life defining moments for these Dublin and Mayo players, they are going to do anything to win.

If Lee Keegan threw his GPS at Rock it is very disappointing to see. Keegan is better than that and shouldn't let the frustration of yet another agonising defeat get the better of him. Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 19/09/2017 00:49:40 2047855 Link 0 |

Agree very disappointing from a player I really admire. Agree with the point above, very out of Character numerous Final defeats starting to get to them. thejockey (UK) - Posts: 118 - 19/09/2017 07:55:53 2047882 Link 0 |

I'd agree that it was unsportsmanlike. 100%. However would you think that trying to distract someone taking a free is worse than gouging someone's face as o gara did to boyler? nextyear (Mayo) - Posts: 60 - 19/09/2017 11:10:12 2047951 Link 0 |

It was a low thing to do and if that's what it takes to win I'd rather lose. Jim Mc Guinness is spot on again in his article this week, Mayo have only themselves to blame, that must be the hardest thing to take. Well done Dublin, and massive respect for Dean Rock kicking that winning point under the circumstances. Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 2739 - 19/09/2017 12:50:27 2048033 Link 2 |

All teams pushing for honours have a ruthless cynical streak in them. IARMHI17 (Westmeath) - Posts: 16 - 19/09/2017 14:04:29 2048069 Link 0 |
I agree, there isn't too much outcry about how when David Clarke was trying to kick the ball out straight from the Rock point, three of Mayo's outlets for the kick were on the ground being grappled by Dublin players. This, like the Keegan incident. Really irrelevant. Dublin have won the All Ireland, they are the worthy Champions. Lets back back to reality now lads and enjoy what I thought was a decent years football. GetOverTheBar (Tyrone) - Posts: 1388 - 19/09/2017 15:26:16 2048125 Link 0 |
What Keegan did was not a big deal in the grand scheme of things that go on in a battle. If he'd distracted Dean and he's missed it would have been a very big deal. It's only deemed to be 'no big deal' now because he made the shot. GaaGaa78 (UK) - Posts: 285 - 19/09/2017 16:04:49 2048152 Link 0 |
They should punish him by taking back all his IC All Ireland Medals..... Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8166 - 19/09/2017 16:25:31 2048161 Link 2 |
I can understand where you're coming from and there might well be more made of it had it been a Dublin player. That said, imagine the uproar had Keegan's efforts actually caused Rock to miss and if it wasn't noticed by the officals? I don't think Keegan would be getting away so lightly. The fact Dublin won the game and have completed the 3 in a row deserved more attention than what Lee Keegan did.

Hardly irrelevant when you are a point down and time is almost up - if only the Dublin players had resorted to throwing their GPS at the Mayo players, Clarke might have been able to get his kick-out to a colleague

Very true.

However Clarke could not get a quick kick-out away after Rock's score because three Mayo players were being wrestled to the ground and the ref waved play on. Maybe that was a 'big deal'.

Clarke had two players unmarked standing under the Hogan stand, why didn't he just kick it to them . His manager was desperately trying to draw his attention to these options . But he chose to kick it over the sideline!!! That was the Dublin players fault? Great.
