I tend not to read to much into O'Se's articles, but this one is set out from the start to wind people up.
Can anyone tell me when was the last time in inter county championship football that Dermo reacted badly to this kind of messing and was RIGHTLY punished?

He seems to have calmed down a lot in the last 5 years never mind the last couple. I am 100% certain he would laugh at this carry on.

Disappointing that he would put that out. The game is getting a lot of criticism lately for being boring and one dimensional and Connolly is one of about 10 really skilful players who brings the game to life. And O'Se is advocating taking him out.

Dublin systematically took out Karl Lacey in the 2011 semi final , Lacey was taken off and wasn't right for a number of months after it. It was a disgraceful challenge but it didn't get a mention because of our negative tactics that day . Ó Sè is just stating what actually happens !

Connolly is a class act last few years he has held himself together and concentrated on his game, despite the usual wind-ups and rough house treatment. These articles are meaningless - who really reads newspapers anymore!

I suppose it comes with the territory of being the best player on the best team in the country.

No the article was about Diarmuid Connolly not David Moran ;)

Non story. Everyone who has played or watched the game knows this goes on.

Newspapers need ink.

Many have tried wind him up, successful when he was a young pup. He now does his retaliation on the scoreboard.

Ps.....if he wasnt getting special attention, id be worried
