Wayne, finality has been brought on it now!

Its over. You made a mistake, you were not the first and you won't be the last to do so. It doesn't need to be drawn out any further.

Perhaps in the future, if people want to quote newspapers reports regarding breaking incidents they should quote their source and indicate they are paraphrasing the words used. Otherwise use quotation marks.

Wayne you got it wrong. You didn't know the facts and more or less implicated a lad who wasn't involved. Well done.

A lot of us around here already knew about the incident you referred to but we didn't assume that this was the biting incident.

You knew what you were doing naming that player. Your correct in saying that it was a silly thing to do. Let this be a lesson learn't

Ah jimbo, cyberbullying, FFS, that's taking it a bit far. Wayno and Liam have never seen eye to eye on things and both are well able to talk for themselves. I've seen much worse personal shots on this thing or pieces that could be construed as cyber bullying than the recent tete-a-tete Liam and Wayno have had. No need for you to turn this into something more.

Yeah perhaps you're right.

Although obviously the word borderline has been ignored

No place in Gaa for this, disgusting behaviour from Jason who is genuinely a nice guy but let himself and everyone in Dublin Gaa down the 8 week suspension is a joke it should be a year at least. But can we move on now or do we go on about it for another month like what's done is done nothing more anyone can do or say now.

Wayno he's been punished lets leave it at that ffs.

An 8 week ban does seem very soft for this sort of offence and the CCCC has possibly made a rod for their back for the coming season by their leniency. Having said that the player and Dublin have accepted the ban and that should be that for particular case. Jason Whelan will have some time to contemplate his stupidity and reflect on his actions and if he learns and wises up he can move on; he shouldn't be castigated, ostracised or punished forever and a day and should be considered for selection again after he serves his ban; everyone deserves a second chance. Biting is like spitting, it is totally contemptable and I don't care who or what county does it; it should be stamped out now and the message sent out that this is completely unacceptable. It shows the most most utter disrespect for your opponent and is sewer like behaviour. Furthermore Jim Gavin, the Dublin county board and many Dublin fans should now show some humility and stop digging that big hole they are in. This is the THIRD biting allegation involving Dublin in a few years and this head in the sand stance from the Dubs and their followers is just contemptuos arrogance of the worst kind and a shameful dismissiveness of other peoples views. This is NOT anti-Dublin but they should stop treating others like fools believing they are above the disciplinary process. Jim Gavin in particular has to stop pushing this nonsense that his players are not cynical, are whiter than white on the pitch playing football of the Gods and behaving like angels; it is hogwash and just insults our intelligence. It is this 3 monkeys stance of Hear No Evil, Speak On Evil and See No Evil from Dublin about Dublin that annoys people more than anything.

Young Whelan has a few hard months ahead his punishment does not fit his crime however, what he done which we all agree is very disturbing I will be very shocked if galvin does not drop him from the panel even if it's just for this season, I also hope the young donegal player regrets not coming out and saying what happened last year because everybody knew he got bit and worse by a different player it was his duty to report this as we all don't want a repeat of this. The media have also being a disgrace here Sean cavenagh last year dragged a man to the ground to help his team win a match but the way the media behaved was shocking towards him I don't really want to be talking about this bite in a couple of months time but certain papers and radio shows seem to be brushing this under the carpet.

Hyperbole nonsense as usual. Perhaps you should qualify your statement that Dublin 'should stop treating others like fools believing they are above the disciplinary process' When has this occurred? What did the DCB actually do wrong in this case? In what way did the DCB not co-operate with the investigation?

Biting is a despicable act on a football field, however the player will serve his punishment as it is stated in the laws of the game.

In the interest of context, biting in gaelic games is prevalent in areas outside the confines of the capital. Just in case certain people feel its a Dublin only problem!

Punishment isn't half long enough for that sort of carry on.
