Consistency in the GAA? you're having a laugh right? Kiwiq (Kildare) - Posts: 38 - 19/03/2018 09:25:26 2085651 Link 0 |
Unfortunately the rules are only targeted at some counties and not others. Spillane wasn't quoting the rulebook last night. Moran made an error, he didnt kill the referee or anything, Connolly barely touched the linesman last year. But Moran deserves a 3 month ban if the GAA really want the rules to be abided by. As people on here spouted about Connolly last year.....the rules are the rules. JayP (Dublin) - Posts: 1772 - 19/03/2018 09:47:08 2085656 Link 3 |
From the camera angle i saw there will be no ban for Moran, he was black carded for remonstrating in an aggressive manner with an official. Connolly was suspended for minor physical interference which automatically carries a 12 week ban. I'd say what Moran done was worse than what Connolly done but the punishments are clearly set out in the rulebook. Soma (UK) - Posts: 2630 - 19/03/2018 09:49:17 2085658 Link 0 |

Most folk involved in football know that the ref and linesman were totally incorrect on every count in the handling of the Connolly incident. Trial by television / very poor officiating. Now the incidents versus Galway yesterday with Dublin players rugby tackling the opposition under the eyes of a blind ref /linesman just tells me the standard of officiating. browncows (Meath) - Posts: 2342 - 19/03/2018 09:56:41 2085661 Link 1 |
Rules are rules we were told about Diarmuid Connolly , and a 12 week ban was the end result. superbluedub (Dublin) - Posts: 2837 - 19/03/2018 09:57:04 2085662 Link 1 |
He barged the ref in an aggressive manner. This incident was worse but as the ref issued the black card it will be deemed dealt with at the time...GAA / media has no time for going after nice guy andy or for that matter Mr Hurling Cody last year when he pushed a linesman.

The ref dealt with Evan Comerford too giving him a red card at the time but the CCCC deemed it worse than the punishment given.

That's what I saw also. Now even as a Galway man I'd hate to see him suspended coz he's genuinely one of the good guys. Saying that if he did the crime new must do the time. If I was making a case for the defence I would say he was rushing from behind the other guy and it was accidental. If i was prosecuting. He aggressively bumped chests in moment of madness and then realised what he'd done and shook hands with ref straight away to minimise how bad it looked. Even if he is suspended it shouldn't blight a great career he can be proud of. Mayonman (Galway) - Posts: 1835 - 19/03/2018 10:23:18 2085680 Link 0 |
I haven't seen the Moran incident but going by what has been reported then he should get the same punishment as Connolly. MuckrossHead (Donegal) - Posts: 5028 - 19/03/2018 10:28:49 2085685 Link 4 |
He definitely went right up against him but you would imagine if Moran did bump into Deegan he would have pushed Deegan back a bit, Deegan didn't really move at all though. As the referee gave a black card he would have to say in his report he made a mistake for Moran to now be suspended. What is the story with Connolly this year? He doesn't seem to be getting any game time at all, the intercounry scene is a poorer place without a lad of his talent. Soma (UK) - Posts: 2630 - 19/03/2018 10:33:54 2085688 Link 0 |
WAs delay with on the field so no more will some of it. Connolly ban was ridiculous at the time too. Move along yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11236 - 19/03/2018 10:38:11 2085690 Link 1 |
SO we're all allowed chest bump a referee in an aggressive manner in games now ? That's good to know. Listen Andy is a good guy I know he lost his father recently I don't want to be banning him I just want consistency from the Gaa that's all. A Dublin man barely touched a linesman last year and he was called a thug a scumbag a disgrace and now it looks like his Dublin career is basically over cause he hasn't really played for us since. Paid O Se and Dinny Allen punch the head off each sure isn't it great craic , Mick Lyons gets a punch off a cork man "Lyons is a hard man" Colm Boyle destroys a man yesterday "ah Colm is a full bloodied player" Philly McMahon or Connolly touch a player or pull them down their label straight away thugs scumbags etc clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 19/03/2018 10:38:57 2085691 Link 5 |
