The only FACT we know is Whelan bit another player, the perceived circumstance are irrelevant because biting is not acceptable.

Absulutely and the same way as assaulting an axe wielding burglar in your own home is also a crime and not 'acceptable'. The circumstances are irrelevant of course.

Anyway, I dont see why the DCU lad went crying to the ref (if all that is true). Its fairly obvious, if you dont want to get bit, dont go round dishing out headlocks as if they were going out of fashion

Think this thread should be closed, it just going round in circles.

Id say its unbelievable but its not. By jimbo and co logic now anything that happens in a game can be passed off as the player defending themselves.

Untrue. I wouldn't pass off any unsavoury acts carried out by Galvin on the pitch as defending himself.

Where is the evidence that Whelan was in a ?

Seems to me that some people are trying to defend Whelan's actions by putting out a story he was defending himself against the aggression of another player.

I said this before.....lads theres a long way to go before September. We shall see how biased Dublin fans are over the course of the coming season. But we will also see those people accusing JW of treason defend other players all the way to September. So remember, us Dublin fans who read this regularly and get a laugh should do the following.

When a poster makes an outrageous claim defending someone from their county......we should all just post one word in caps.......

"HYPOCRACY"

And we know which posters we will say it the most for already!

Oh Jeez, here we go again... very serious allegations from Meath.

Just saw this thread. A Serious ban needs to be handed out if it's true.

I've got nothing against Dublin but this is the fourth biting incident which is odd if nothing else.

EVIDENCE EVIDENCE EVIDENCE

Oh wait there doesn't seem to be any..no video, no eye witness, no nothing case closed enough of this craic.

serious allegations indeed..Dublin chomping at the bit to win sam i presume, although against Meath today i saw no teething problems,

sob (Meath) - Posts: 492 - 20/07/2014 18:25:05    1622097

I never thought I would see the day when a Meath player or manager complains about an alleged incident in a game v Dublin.

If roles were reversed,Dublin would never make such a complaint or allegation.

God be with the days when Dublin played Meath, and what happened on the pitch stayed on the pitch.

Pathetic.

Dublin at it again.

Jeez Fionn. That is a ridiculous statement. There's nothing manly about biting. Pu the machismo away there and pull your head in.
