Well that's it, game on boys and girls. It was the right decision in the end. I just hope the ref will keep an eye on the persistent fouling from O'Shea and o'connor during the game. No doubt they'll be going out of their way to get players sent off again. bangbang (Dublin) - Posts: 113 - 05/09/2015 08:04:12 1782434 Link 0 |

So Connolly is cleared to play. No problem with that but there will be absolute uproar when the next player red carded anywhere fails in an appeal. Not sure where the GAA go now with their disciplinary procedures. Whole system is a total mess but in this case you have to feel happy for DC, just hope he has an off day!! ponga (Mayo) - Posts: 649 - 05/09/2015 08:24:21 1782443 Link 0 |
Joxer the only thing that was Tiernan Mc Cann territory was Philly Mc Mahons shameful dive. Although I do agree with you that what's been done to Connolly is simply unfair. seanie_boy (Tyrone) - Posts: 4235 - 05/09/2015 08:35:09 1782446 Link 0 |
The correct decision was arrived at last night, where the blunder was was during the week. Had a few players been suspended ( maybe around four) during the week then there might have been no outcry. But to single out one and make an example of him is wrong. SamOnErrigal (Donegal) - Posts: 1427 - 05/09/2015 08:52:34 1782449 Link 0 |
Well, it seems Connolly got off. All these appeals are giving players a licence to act like thugs without fear of consequence! top_corner (Galway) - Posts: 23 - 05/09/2015 08:54:24 1782450 Link 0 |

The fact is on precedent alone he deserved to get off. Not because he somehow done nothing as some bizarrely claim but because we can't have one rule for one and one for another. tearintom (Wexford) - Posts: 1344 - 05/09/2015 09:14:38 1782457 Link 0 |
Proper order restored.Should never have been banned in the first place when Keegan and Cillain O' Connor weren't banned for their part in the very same incident. seanie_boy (Tyrone) - Posts: 4235 - 05/09/2015 09:20:28 1782460 Link 0 |
I can't believe this, the GAA have showered themselves in glory again this week, between tickets fiasco and this we're a laughing stock An_Oifigeach (Meath) - Posts: 220 - 05/09/2015 09:20:48 1782461 Link 0 |
Connolly may have been unfortunate to be the only player suspended but that's no excuse to let him off, it's a complete fcukin joke to be honest, the Gaa are a shambles. This isn't exactly going to do much to incentivize good behaviour either, both Dublin and Mayo will take to the pitch today knowing that they can more or less do whatever they want and so what if they get a straight red, they'll still be available for the final if they win.

Lee Keegan got his red rescinded last year as well as Kevin Keane this year. Both ridiculous decisions also. Mayo can't complain. fielder (Donegal) - Posts: 137 - 05/09/2015 09:30:03 1782469 Link 0 |

Gaa needs to get in lawyers after Allireland final and make changes to rule book or every big game will have red card decisions overturned as we have already seen with Keane and Keegan . Although this hearing is more a court case and they will have to give a written explanation as to their decision, the other two processes didnt.
