Makes the win all that bit sweeter, as I'm sure it does for Cluxton too.

I am totally fed up with this discussion being honest. It now involves posters saying "your team does this" "Yeah but your team done that" - get over it. Dublin, Kerry, Mayo, Tyrone, Donegal......none are saints and all are sinners. Probably goes for all teams club and county in the country. Every team has it player(s) that are involved in "dark art's" as it is now called.

As many Dubs have stated while refuting the eye-gouging/biting allegations - this is a picture of a moment in time - its means nothing.

True indeed.

That said, it was at the hill end of the stadium, I was there, I seen him get right into Stephens face screaming.. Its sledging.

For me, dark arts include unsportsmanlike conduct like this, so yes.

Nah but in all seriousness, I'm only ripping it.

I couldn't care less and I didn't at the time either.

Just wanted to see what others thought of it.

But, we won the war even if in that instance, Kerry won the battle.

You know there's a way you conduct yourself in victory as well as defeat that tells a lot.

For example setting up this topic and as justification posting up a photo of Walsh with his mouth open to Cluxton.

I suppose from your vantage point you missed the dirty stroke Small pulled as he was being substituted at the same time as Donaghy was coming off? Classy stuff, I was three rows behind the Dublin subs and everyone around us saw it as clear as day.

But I suppose you don't want to talk about that sort of thing do you? It wouldn't sit well with the whole heroic Dublin and evil Kerry theme you want to indulge today.

You won the game, we lost. We accept our defeat and we go home and lick our wounds for the winter ahead.

When we win we don't spend a week on here posting up gloating threads and when we lose we don't come on here b*tching to all and sundry.

In the aftermath of Sunday's game we could be on here starting topics about referee selections, decisions, Dublin's 'Dark Arts' etc etc but we don't.

We don't because we are Kerry people and we know that in the grand scheme of things you win some and you lose some but there's always another game, another championship, another All-Ireland down the road.

So Waynol why don't you grow up, be grateful you have a great team to support at the moment and be a bit gracious in victory.

verbals , dirty and nasty hits are in every match .

I saw Philly MacMahon and Donegahy having a few nice chats on Sunday . Are some of you's really that naive in that you's think this wasn't horrific sledging ?

Sure wasn't there even eye gouging last year?

Dublin - Mayo match of 2015 was as nasty as it came. Tyrone - Donegal was nasty in verbals in 2015.

Dublin , Donegal , Kerry , Mayo etc . No difference between them .

It's a pity but it's reality .

But The Hermit you's don't accept your defeats and move on , your still crying about '11 and all I've heard this week is about the ref and where he works and lives , same thing last year. It's a myth that Kerry are gracious in defeat you's are not , throwing objects at the ref at the final whistle is En-Ger-land hooligans stuff. You's are sore losers and can't accept that this Dublin team is better than you's right now.

Big deal. This happens even in cricket ffs, where the term 'sledging' came from originally. Ali did it in boxing matches regularly. Of course, when Tyrone do this, it is uniquely horrendous, as anything done by a Tyrone player automatically is much worse than the exact same thing done by a player from most counties. The reason for its increased prevalence nowadays is simply that there's far less actual thuggery in the game than before. As Philip Jordan, writing in a recent Irish News remarked: "The reality is that punching players off the ball has been replaced by holding and a lot more verbal abuse. I know which I would rather be on the end off."

Ahh no...that must be photoshopped. Sure the 'aristocrats' of football would do nothing like that.
