Jox and RD answer one very simple question

DID PHILLY MCMAHON FEIGN INJURY?

-----
Absolutely 100% and he deserved a yellow for it. Nowhere have I said otherwise. Did he take a shameful dive with no contact to get a man sent off and bring the game into disrepute as a result. No.

UNDUB LIKE
WHAT ARE YOU ON ABOUT.
Here is a list over the last few years.
Bitegate----- was a Dublin player not suspended after a biting incident ?
Easter Sunday in Ballybofey, and I'm not on about the Repubiclan March --- the serious allegations made by a Donegal player about being bit during the game that day
Like Sunday's game and incidents very little was done about it.
Last months challenge game v Armagh----- a broken jaw and that was before the ball was thrown in Plus it was going to be brushed under the carpet only for the exposure it got.
Against Kerry in the 2013 semi did a Dublin player not poke The Gooch in the eye or were there not allegations of that happening. ??
TYRONE ARE BEGINNING TO LOOK LIKE ANGELS COMPARING TO WHAT OTHER TEAMS ARE UP TO AT PRESENT OR AT LEAST WHAT THEY ARE BEING ACCUSED OF.
BUT IF TYRONE WERE INVOLVED OR INDEED DONEAL/OTHER ULSTER COUNTIES WE WOULD BE LYNCHED.

Hard to see what now constitutes an offence meriting suspension under GAA rules. For me this is clear. There is a gap in the rulebook re diving and feigning njury, therefore no grounds to suspend McMahon, or McCann before him, as sad and as despicable as such actions are, this should be addressed at the earliest opportunity. Re McMahon's attempted headbutt and that's what it was, should be a clear case for suspension, surely the intent to harm is sufficient to suspend. if the rulebook isn't clear on this point then this must be addressed. Hard to see how Connolly can successfully appeal, clear strike with fist, if it's overturned then we may as well rip up the rulebook. But you'd have said the same about Keane's red card as well. Provocation is no excuse, there have always been lines not to cross as a player, striking with fist, head or foot used to be a one way ticket to suspension.

Good God Sam here you go again making allegations without any substance. Please do some research before throwing mud around and control your anti-Dublin emotions.

Bitegate - no action taken against the Dublin player as he turned up at the appeal hearing but the Donegal player did not so no case to answer.

Friendly game - a Dublin player spent 2 nights in hospital requiring surgery. I don't know what you're trying to say on that one.

Cooper eye gouge - I've never heard of that one but would be willing to accept it if it happened and you can point me to the reports. Are you sure that you are not mixing this up with an infamous incident involving Gooch and a TYRONE back?

Seriously Sam you need to chill. You're becoming like Ulsterman and making things up. Ulsterman even thinks that the referee carded McCann for his dive and that it was 'dealt with on the pitch'.

So Aidan O Mahony is not a hard man? Cause for me he's probably the hardest man in Gaelic Football.

Joxer are you capable of putting two posts together without mentioning Tyrone, honestly man whatever it is get over it. We're out, you won't even be meeting us in the league next year. Dublin supporters should have enough to be thinking about this week without constantly harking on about Tyrone, unless of course you think throwing our name into the ring all the time is a good way of deflecting some of pressure on Dublin?

Sam bite gate happened two years ago and that player is no longer involved in our team
Dublin b's v Armagh behind close doors your really Scraping the end of the barrel there like come on

I could dig up dirt on every big county the last few years easy.

Sam sam sam....are you lobbing grenades again? Bite gate....Dub player turned up at hearing yours didnt so no case to answer. Armagh v Dublin Dub player injured not armagh. Whats your point?

Clondalkin - why not answer my query on another thread ?

You claimed both sides would go man to man ? In fact , you guaranteed it . Your analysis was outdated and it's hard to take you serious in all honesty .



Sorry man but if you haven't noticed there's about 30 threads set up about last Sunday's game I honestly can't read every single post. Which thread is your question on? And I'll answer you

clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 02/09/2015 10:21:46    1780437

Bitegate again!!!

O'Brien should have been suspended for it but Donegal didn't want McBrearty to get a suspension for their opening game v Tyrone so he was kept from the hearing!

Which is worse, choking or biting?

So your now telling us it was a non shameful dive? Do you see why I'm having trouble taking you seriously. Your nit picking in a desperate manner over an issue that needs to be dealt with in black and white clarity otherwise a rule would be very hard to impose.

The man feigned injury so put your scales and measuring tape away and accept that anyone who stoops low enough to attempt such acts deserves the same treatment as anyone else who chanced their arm in a similar fashion.

Sorry Saffron, I've given you the videos. Short of getting out the flip charts and crayons there's not much more I can do for you bud. McMahon incident preceded by strong physical contact, no player dismissed. McCann incident preceded by no physical but a comical dive followed by the sending off of an innocent party. There are none so blind as those who will not see.

Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 02/09/2015 20:58:36    1780924

Joxer...theres no need for crayons or any other nonsense.Just admit that your lad took a shameful dive in an effort to get another player in trouble.I have to laugh at your point that nobody got sent off.So what? Just cos the ref didn't fall for Phillys performance doesn't make it any less shameful on his part.

Joxer that last line of your last post sums you up perfectly at this stage.

Sam On Errigal . you are so right. send Donegal. Armagh or Tyrone up to Croke park and everything the do is criminal and every foul was invented by them. I saw Gooch hit the ground like a rag doll against my own county about 10 years ago in a quarter final where Monaghan had them beaten only for his antics. 5 minutes to go and we were 2 points up. The cynical play then robbed us of a place in the semis.

Joxer - a dive is a dive. We are really clutching at straws if we are measuring them.

Footage on Twitter of McMahon engaging in more dark arts. Doesn't look good from his point of view.

I am sure Twitter is the final judgement call, thankfully we have more reliable processes to deal with any misdemeanor. The fact is if Kerry won we'd have people on here going on about Donaghy's dives or sledging of Cluxton to name but a few but instead MOST reasonable folk realise it was a poor match made so by dire conditions, but the best team won. Throwing s!it at the win is something we Dubs have to live with all levels of the game and all codes. Dublin won just get over it.

as I said before on here if you defenceless on the ground with a crowd on top of you Philly mcmahon will put the hand in he does it every game in my opinion. and he has been at it for years. anyway poor final . the weather destroyed it unfortunately. thought brian fenton was man of the match.
