Have to agree with your observation on that move,I saw it as it happened in front of me,dont know if Brogan went to do Reilly but it was definitely a third man tackle and at least a free out to Meath.Kevin McStay was pointing out why two of Meaths goals should have been disallowed but this was an example of a Dublin score that should not have counted.

I dont think there was much intention. If you see it again i think Gary O'Brien kind of pushes Brogan into Reilly

Fair play to Reilly, he's really standing up! Keeping B.Brogan that quiet is no mean feat! Fair enough Donie Kingston got quite a big score off him from play but that man is an animal and i think Reilly did well to break so much ball down in front of him.

If it was Paul Galvin hed be suspended. an elbow in the face is an elbow in the face. i remember kevin himself got a suspension 2 years ago as a result of an elbow versus wexford. ya got to ask where is the consistency. still brogan didnt want ta know when the big man stood him up!!

Kevin Reilly is definitely exceeding my expectations, i know its only been a few games but for a man who has not played football in the past year (very little) he is playing very well and really making a super impression as full back

OBrien nudged him a bit ok but the elbow was up like a shot, then he stood over him on his way back out to say a few words. Judging from the later spat between them in front of the hill, I doubt Brogan was asking if Reilly was alright.

yes i saw that elbow on reilly meself. I couldnt quite tell who elbowed him at the time. Brogan had a few words with reilly while he was on the ground. Kevin got a ban himself against wexford in 08 for an elbow. Collie Moran did a similar tackle just as bad if not worse on a westmeath player also in 08 i think and didnt receive a ban. I know this is getting away from this topic but dublin get away with too much sometimes and thats a perfect example. Brogans incident could be looked into but im quite happy with us just giving them a hammering :) no need to rub salt into the wound and get him banned :P
