12 weeks for Connolly. Is a GAA Witch Hunt in progress?

Connolly did the right thing to waive the appeal.
He knows he was wrong. He will be back for semi in August.
Just wondering, why did Brannigan not tell ref about incident?

Eamonn Sweeney spot on as he usually is. Great article.

Replying To Onion Breath:  "Ah would you go away out of that. Surely even you can understand it's the manner in which it occurs not solely the fact of it occurring.

Did the Wexford player confront the ref aggressively, firmly place his outstretched hand on the refs chest with the implied threat of pushing him over and did the Wexford player jab two fingers aggressively and threateningly close to the refs face? Answer is no on all counts.

Your comparison is completely and utterly bogus. You've made a fool of yourself by making it."
So now there's stipulation to touching officials? Last week it was rules were rules you can't put your hand inw one what so ever. I suppose Brendan Murphy shouldn't get suspended either for abusing the linesman because he didn't say the same words as philly McMahon for his suspension haha anything to suit your arguments

Replying To SamandLiamSoon:  "Can you post a link to what exactly Murphy said to be classed as "verbal abuse"?"
Are you for real?
Maybe ask braningan?
He was only a metre or so away from him and it was directed at him.

Because neither him or the ref made anything of it.
it was the media that made the gaa make them put it in the so called report anybody can see that as they wanted to make it look like they were doing something.
sure braningan was reffing yesterday and the cork player was giving an umpire both barrels he called him over and only gave a yellow card.
