He had a good game on the gooch to be fair, but he wasn't marking o'shea, he was one of 3 men marking o'shea. TheMaster (Mayo) - Posts: 16187 - 22/09/2015 10:30:39 1790513 Link 0 |
By all means salute him if you are a Dub, he is a very good player, but that shouldn't make him or any other player exempt from due disciplinary process. If the alleged incident on Sunday had been Rugby Union or League the player in question would probably have been cited and received a disciplinary date already. However there smacks a tone of "We are Dublin, we don't care and we'll do what we want knowing we'll probably get away with it". If the GAA don't act on this, or even investigate it, an awful negative message will be sent to young players and the other 31 counties that "we tolerate this sort of stuff".

Aye he's definitely the type of buck you want in your team rather than against. In fairness he has had a super year and will undoubtedly get his All-Star. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9116 - 22/09/2015 10:42:27 1790529 Link 0 |
Has had a great year with a couple of controversial moments too but a real cornerstone of the defence all year and marked O Shea really well along with Donaghy and left gooch for dead.Like Galvin in Kerry and maybe one or two of the Tyrone lads in the noughties team he will always attract attention.Glad to have him though.

I was just about to start a thread like this myself. I think he is brilliant. I love that he doesn't pander to the media or pretend he is whiter than white when he clearly is not. He trains me in one of his gyms. He has a real black or white personality. He makes no apology for the type of player he is. We take the good with the bad and deal with both as they come along. Looking forward to him kicking me around the gym tomorrow. Should i bring my goggles?:p Jackeen (Dublin) - Posts: 4097 - 22/09/2015 10:44:07 1790532 Link 0 |
Think you are wrong about Robbie Kelleher witnof. A real footballer. Gay O Driscoll in the other corner was a notorious hard man. So also but to a lesser degree Mick Kennedy who was more sticky as they say rather than hard,. Administrator (None) - Posts: 2274 - 22/09/2015 10:46:12 1790534 Link 0 |
"1. You have never heard of Dublin or a player complain of any foul play against them, or run to a ref complaining of such, is this because all other counties threat us with kid gloves? or maybe something else?" pdempsey (Mayo) - Posts: 1313 - 22/09/2015 10:46:36 1790535 Link 0 |
he's right about not caring anyway, why would he let anyone spoil his moment, but sounds like he's listening to too much conor McGregor/MMA pseudomacho bullsh*t. If these lads really went to war they might stop comparing it to throwing shapes in the safety of a sports arena flack (Dublin) - Posts: 1054 - 22/09/2015 10:51:15 1790536 Link 0 |

His "I don't give a sh*t" comments are really rubbing peoples noses in it now and sticking two fingers up to the GAA. You think he would be better keeping quiet and his head down at the minute. It's over to Croke Park to now act. Ulsterman (Antrim) - Posts: 9697 - 22/09/2015 11:00:39 1790549 Link 0 |
Absolute hero of a man, Plays his heart how and no bull with him at all. No of this been politically correct Sh*** with him. He tells it like it is and like most people play the game. Hes a credit to Dublin Gaa and I would love nothing more than have him in Roscommon if there was a transfer system.

The I don't give a sh!t/win at all cost attitude can hardly be a surprise as GAA players align themselves more towards a professional way of thinking along with the training lifestyle. McMahon isn't much different to alot of other current players. Only difference is he'll admit he doesn't give a sh!t. Superglue (Kerry) - Posts: 1283 - 22/09/2015 11:06:25 1790552 Link 0 |
Don't like him that much to be honest. slayer (Limerick) - Posts: 6480 - 22/09/2015 11:09:56 1790556 Link 0 |
He's had a great year no doubt but in the wake of what he did on Sunday I'm a bit disappointed at the hero-like status some want to bestow upon him. Its without doubt the worst thing I have ever seen on a football pitch. benjyyy (Donegal) - Posts: 1422 - 22/09/2015 11:09:57 1790557 Link 0 |
I don't feel comfortable with appreciation threads,so i wont be signing my name to this or any other one. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 22/09/2015 11:13:39 1790563 Link 0 |
I can't agree with the sentiment of this thread. He's a terrific player and a leader of men. Eye gouging however is absolutely disgusting unsporting and dangerous. It's a pity some Dublin fans believe in nothing but win at all costs. JackoDub (Dublin) - Posts: 458 - 22/09/2015 11:14:49 1790564 Link 0 |
'We go man to man and go to war' - is Aidan O'Shea 3 men then? TheMaster (Mayo) - Posts: 16187 - 22/09/2015 11:15:38 1790566 Link 0 |

I don't see him as a hero at all. I see him as one of very few in the GAA that embraces the type of player he is. Star, Keegan, Galvin, Ricey all have the same hard man tag about them. He just doesn't make apologies for wanting to win. Jackeen (Dublin) - Posts: 4097 - 22/09/2015 11:17:15 1790568 Link 0 |
