The reason I posted was similar to my take on DC , heat of the moment , some don't seem to understand different personalities re-act on the spur , when I've felt hard done by on a pitch I see red and slide tackle anything that's moving , I gave up playing to keep hold of friendship I was in danger of losing dear friends , when the legs go completely and frustration is all that's left but you still have that competitive fire its a dangerous cocktail. Take a moment to think what was going through Keegans head , really where his logic was , another all Ireland slipping away Jesus if you seen the fans faces can you imagine the hurt frustration players were going through ? Wrong of course , should be looked at Yes , but calm down disperse the lynch mob and blow out the torches no need for a hanging Damothedub (Dublin) - Posts: 5193 - 22/09/2017 11:00:06 2049274 Link 0 |
He wants all the culprit retrospectively banned from the final!

I was specifically referring to the OPs call for retrospectively banning the culprits that were cynical from last Sunday. That's why I brought up the other instances. It's nothing new.

Was Keegan wrong, unsporting and disrespectful? IMO yes. Gleebo (Mayo) - Posts: 2208 - 22/09/2017 11:48:17 2049290 Link 0 |
I just think the whole thing is painful. If all video evidence was reviewed from the 70 minutes there would probably be 20 bans handed out for various things!

I wholeheartedly agree with you, and therein I rest my case, cynicism to combat skill, win at all costs

All these posters calling for bans for all sorts of incidents - have any of them played at a level above junior C in their own counties? I would though like to see games being refed in a more balanced way. About the Keegan incident! he made a poor aim by not hitting the ball, unlike the Dublin guy who kicked the tee!! browncows (Meath) - Posts: 2342 - 22/09/2017 13:46:07 2049336 Link 0 |
all hypotheticals, doesn't change the outcome

Wouldn't it be interesting to know if mcquillan would have allowed the free to be retaken 13 mtrs closer if Rock had missed? Skin and hair flying then. lillyboy (Kildare) - Posts: 429 - 23/09/2017 09:01:16 2049503 Link 1 |
People need to get over it,Keegan was very wrong doing that of course he was but I find it a bit rich that one of the biggest tugs to ever play gaa charlie Redmond is having a go just like last year with that campaign that worked to get Keegan blackcarded for replay,why isn't charlie talking negatively about Dublin because I never witnessed a more cynical fouling team I'm an all Ireland final then last Sunday and of course o gara ,cormac Costello sent on just to wrestle mayos Brendan Harrison and Costello also with that tee incident ,Dublin are a phenomenal team but get a way with murder ,wonder will charlie Redmond mention anything about that Galwayjoe86 (Galway) - Posts: 258 - 23/09/2017 09:20:45 2049507 Link 2 |
Thank you Dara Ò Cinnèide for your article on cynicism on today's Irish Examiner I too played the game to a fairly high level Dara adorned it at cCollege Club And County level for over a decade he should know what he is talking about Yes our games could do without the unsporting acts of last Sunday Incidentally Dara himself was that first victim of the swarm tackle in the 2003 semifinal for me the day the music died The new negativity was cononised by a referee who stood idly by in those first 10 mins as the blanket was spread and the clawing punching tackle cream into the new defensive game YouTube has the video in its repertoire

It was an act of frustration and nothing more. I just wish the same understanding was available to all players. This vilification of amateur players is particularly part and parcel of Gaelic football and follows nearly every game. How many times in hurling as a player strikes the sliothar into the net have you seen hurleys flying after it? Media pundits/fans have strange attitudes, Connolly gets 12 match ban and Austin Gleeson gets our sympathy but its all about the colour of the jersey mostly a witch hunt organised by that Kerry mouth and now this one!! arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4896 - 23/09/2017 09:55:24 2049519 Link 1 |
I think you have to take whats in the Cork Examiner with a pinch a salt of mate, its essentially a Munster paper and playing to the crowd down there. Their job of work is to help the recovery narrative in a disappointing year for Munster GAA at Senior level on the biggest days. My own opinion is that neither of the last four teams in the championship leave the championship with their held high when it comes to cynicism and if your judging by that standard all served up poor fare and are poor examples. That said for drama and quality of play it was there in abundance. Maybe a balance needs to be struck, we really dont want a game thats gone like soccer were any physical contact is akin to a reaction of being shot by a sniper. Truth be told cynicism can counteract quality, and if you lack quality you have to employ it. The other team has to respond in kind or be out matched despite maybe having more quality. Calibrating how to govern that is a tricky task. You see so many on here given out about soft frees and referees. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 23/09/2017 11:04:41 2049539 Link 1 |
This issue is a complete smokescreen for more sinister aspects that happened in the game. A counter claim to create a red herring from other stuff. Donegalman (None) - Posts: 3830 - 23/09/2017 14:16:38 2049588 Link 0 |
