I merely argued that the Connolly incident was not 'cheating'. No advantage went Dublin's way as a result of the incident. Mayo were the only team to benefit from it during the game.

'Without trying to state the obvious, it was a penalty because the referee awarded it. The claim that the penalty decided the match is somewhat spurious as the result, in my opinion, would have been the same regardless of the penalty'. Llaw_Gyffes (Mayo) - Posts Your comment is spurious. We all know the penalty was awarded and most posters know that it was not a penalty under the rules of the game. The penalty was awarded with about 6-7 minute to go when you were 1 point down- now your record in certain matches in the last 5-7 minutes have not been that impressive! Anyway we all move on and as I said before ye were on the receiving end of very poor decisions over the years in important matches. browncows (Meath) - Posts: 2342 - 13/07/2016 22:48:10 1882841 Link
The GAA, Southern media and MANY in the South are rabidly partitionist and their DNA is biased against 'Nordies' Ulster GAA teams and players and they make the rules up as they go along to suit their own narrow, self serving agenda. The replies on this thread prove that beyond any doubt. Ulsterman (Antrim) - Posts: 9838 - 14/07/2016 00:09:29 1882860 Link
Lee Keegan had Connolly in a chokehold, Connolly was merely defending himself which he is entitled to do and DRA agreed. What has that got to do with Aidan "Swan Lake" O'Shea's dive? arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4958 - 14/07/2016 08:15:52 1882887 Link

Well not according to the CCC, where you had to go through 3 appeals, and then hire a judge to argue your case, as the next step was an injunction to the high court. Must be great to have so much money for these legal cases or the cryotherapy for the semi final replay. saddam (Mayo) - Posts: 414 - 14/07/2016 09:49:53 1882932 Link

Is diving worse than throwing a headbutt or eye-gouging? unclegerry (Mayo) - Posts: 1223 - 14/07/2016 12:14:00 1883040 Link

At the end of the first half of extra-time of the All-Ireland Semi-Final replay between Kerry and Mayo in 2014, Cormac Reilly awarded Kerry with two frees which the duly pointed. During analysis of the game on TV after, 1 of the frees was adjudged to have been very soft with the other been adjudged to be no foul at all and Reilly was lambasted. I was at the game, and for the second free, there was a clear jersey pull that wasn't caught on camera about 2 seconds before the ball got in. Reilly was right, it was a free. The idea that the TV replay's we have available to us can clearly show what happened not happened is a nonsense. Did O'Shea dive? yes Was his jersey pulled? yes Was it inside the large box? yes Is that a penalty? yes BlastCalyle (Mayo) - Posts: 216 - 14/07/2016 14:13:21 1883153 Link

I was sat right in line with it, 2 fellas from Mayo who were sat beside me told me at the time that they didn't think it was a penalty. It wasn't a pull, for it to be a pull he needs a closed hand and part of o'ses jersey in his hand. He then needs to exert force for it to be a pull. If anything you could argue it was a push (the complete opposite of a pull) but again there needs to be force exerted. As it stands he placed his hand on his back, nothing more, nothing less. Anyway can this thread die a death. The penalty was given, it was a dive. The world keeps moving and Mayo are still in the championship. There is nothing else to say on it. gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts: 4971 - 14/07/2016 14:47:58 1883189 Link

He did dive subsequently though. MayoDan (Mayo)** - Posts: 495 - 14/07/2016 15:04:20 1883210 Link
