David Gough's treatment here is unsettling to see but considering the online hate campaign over several years aimed at Joe McQuillan by posters on this site and prevalent former Kerry players via Twitter only recently.. it's not that surprising in its venom. It's far from unprecedented coming from Kerry GAA jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 14/08/2019 17:11:41 2225711 Link 8 |

what music are the Dubs going to have when they come back on to the pitch for the second half in the final. centerfield (Mayo) - Posts: 360 - 14/08/2019 17:31:28 2225719 Link 2 |
Here here. It's disgraceful behavior.

I wonder is all this ire about unfairness over the ref a bit of a Trojan Horse argument. Lets put it this way, If i was a set of supporters who threw projectiles missiles at a referee and shouted obscenities at him as Kerry did to David Gough after the semi in 2016 and i was there Id be feeling very nervous about him taking control of and All Ireland final. I was there and saw it first hand and couldn't believe what i was seeing in 2016, ive honestly seen nothing like it before or since. Now what more likely to prejudice you, bumping in to Peggy Dignham in the local spar down Templeouge, or being threatened and insulted by 1000's of Kerry supporters after fulfilling a voluntary obligation on behalf of Gaelic games. Somehow Kerry are the victim in all this though, par for the course really. The Samaritans must be on speed dial down there. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 14/08/2019 17:41:30 2225729 Link 5 |

Lost a lot of respect for Fitzmaurice over this. It is a low thing to do. It also disrespects Leinster counties outside of Dublin or any person from another county who is living and working in Dublin. Just cos you live or work in Dublin or live near Dublin doesn't suddenly mean you lose your identity. If you work in Dublin you'll likely be working with people from all over Ireland and from all over the world. Same goes for living there. If you were living and working in Navan or Ratoath you'd probably be surrounded by more Dubs all day than in Dublin. It's absolute nonsense.

Utterly rediculous all this talk is..I've been to so many games where kerry got the rub of the green from refs that it's just come to be expected and part of the experience at this stage..granted yes I'll bitch and moan about decisions but to question the integrity of any referee appointed (and make no bones about this one this is exactly what is being done here) is just pathetic behaviour from fans of a team much less a former intercounty manager.. pidge (Cork) - Posts: 543 - 14/08/2019 18:01:19 2225737 Link 7 |

I think you're absolutely right A day of celebration for him, his family and his club being absolutely tarnished. The worst part being that it's being done in such a highly publicized and open manner. Unfortunately I've no doubt that he's fully aware of this absolute character assassination. Let's not dress this up. That is exactly what is going on here. jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 14/08/2019 18:27:22 2225744 Link 3 |
Fitzmaurice has a problem with gough from AISF v Dublin. They didn't get a free that was but I seem to remember a similar challenge by a Kerry man a bit earlier that was let go. Kerry were haded 2-2 before halftime and were 4 up late on so he may look closer to home. In any event I would think Kerry will be happy enough Dublin will get nothing handy in final. theduke66 (Dublin) - Posts: 334 - 14/08/2019 18:30:22 2225746 Link 3 |
Is that it? This is another advantage presumably. I didn't even notice it at the time to be honest.

Wow. What's this Paidi called their fans again? Protest being organised for Fitzgerald Stadium apparently courtesy of the media frenzy created by Eamo and Aido. I really pity Gough here. Who would have thought that a Meath man would be accused by a Kerry man of favoring a group Dublin men. Amateur man just trying to do a voluntary job and his integrity is called into question without any basis for the charge. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 14/08/2019 18:47:03 2225756 Link 9 |
What in the name of jaysus is the "Kilkenny metro area"? Anyway, I wouldn't have the first clue where James Owens "shops and socialises" but I don't know if we'll ever reach the point where every GAA fan, player, manager and pundit gets it into their thick skulls that the ref does not have the power to arbitrarily invoke or ignore Hawkeye at their whim. If an umpire waves a point wide, or white flags a wide, Hawkeye will inform the ref. ballydalane (Kilkenny) - Posts: 1246 - 14/08/2019 19:01:59 2225764 Link 4 |

The Coronation is almost complete, Croke Park have the jigsaw nearly finished. Hard to believe that after what happened in 2016 & his admission that he got it wrong that they appointed him for this game. He has been given lots of finals at all levels & if Kerry were not involved, there would have been no concerns, but 2016 made that impossible. Kerry are entitled to feel aggrieved & entitled to voice their opinion. Any error by Gough that leads to a Dublin win will just alienate people further. The GAA is now Dublin dominated & none of the rest have the balls to stand up & say so or to change things. The complete failure by other counties to prevent Dublin having two home games at Croke Park is a classic example of this. Sean Hurson should have been appointed this game. moc.dna (Galway) - Posts: 1212 - 14/08/2019 19:13:47 2225771 Link 0 |
Ha ha love that Joxer, a Meath man accused by Kerry men of favoring Dublin, we really have got in everyone's head haven't we! A terrible beauty! :D TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 14/08/2019 19:30:28 2225778 Link 1 |
Entitled. Apt word to use for Kerry. They are entitled to question some of his decisions in the past. No referee is a perfect referee and it is a testament to the stature if the man when he owns up to things he missed. They are not entitled to question his integrity, his profession, his volunteerism and his impartiality. supermon (Monaghan) - Posts: 1073 - 14/08/2019 19:44:57 2225781 Link 6 |
