Dublin were the better team in the first half in 2011 and they overpowered Kerry in the last ten minutes of the game.In fact that was widely predicted by analysts that if Dublin were within a few points of Kerry going into the last 10 minutes of the game, Dublin would prevail and that is what happened. So it should not have been hugely surprising to Kerry. In any event Dublin have now won three All-Irelands in the last five years and three National Leagues in a row which is surely an outstanding success and I think they are showing to be wonderful ambassadors for the game. fainleog (Limerick) - Posts: 598 - 06/11/2015 12:44:03 1804931 Link 0 |

No mention of Donaghy's constant fouling though no?! CroiGorm (Dublin) - Posts: 1547 - 25/04/2016 12:42:53 1849082 Link 0 |
As a big lad I can say the article is bang on with regards to what Donaghy goes through and I have brought it up before with regards to him, O'Shea, Murphy etc. I feel for these players as when you watch what they have to put up with its not on. People are going on about the stupidity of the Hail Mary balls in to Donaghy yesterday but the fact is if he wasn't being quite often fouled when said ball was coming in he would probably have won possession the majority of the times and it could have been a good tactic to use. Now, Donaghy can be his own worst enemy as he was a bit wreckless in his tackling but having been there myself I wonder how much of what you see out of Donaghy comes from frustration at the lack of protection from the ref?

The man is human. He was probably sick to the back teeth of watching donaghy get manhandled throughout the game. Maybe a poor choice of words, but then gouging donaghy's eye was a poor choice of action, the same people were trying to argue the guy's innocence on that front, let alone ask for an apology.

The same man (Donaghy) is no stranger to fouling. He had a least 8 fouls against Monaghan in the league, a probable black/soft red and 3 strong cases for yellow cards and nothing. (these were the fouls called). Holding a man in one huge paw and one handed catching the other is still a free (never given). This was not "big man fair hits" but elbows, clear fouls and a forearm smash. He was a Teflon man for cards though. Monaghan08 (Monaghan) - Posts: 188 - 25/04/2016 12:58:06 1849098 Link 0 |
As a neutral, Dublin were the better team, even with A.O'M was still on the field, Donaghy was fouled, he should have had a penalty on rougly 63mins, but he was constantly complaining to the referee, even when he was dispossessed cleanly..... and that's Donaghy's problem half the time he is fouled the other half he's pretending he's fouled, nevertheless it was a penalty. cuchulainn35 (Armagh) - Posts: 1676 - 25/04/2016 13:01:12 1849102 Link 0 |
Donaghy has spent over ten years with his hand the face of full-backs while catching the ball with the other, while this takes no small amount of strength and skill its still a foul. No sympathy from me, benched (Tyrone) - Posts: 534 - 25/04/2016 13:07:19 1849111 Link 0 |
Its a bit of a silly statement to be honest. Its almost an admission of not knowing what to do. tearintom (Wexford) - Posts: 1344 - 25/04/2016 13:08:36 1849114 Link 0 |

There's a manner to how you act in victory no more than how you handle defeat. TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 25/04/2016 13:20:25 1849127 Link 0 |

Had to laugh watching the game yesterday Donaghy crying for not getting his frees. He's a serial fouler himself so now he knows what its like. letterkennyGuy (Donegal) - Posts: 153 - 25/04/2016 13:33:11 1849143 Link 0 |
