Replying To brayballer: "Daniel O Donnell must have sang for the gaa.No suspension for Jimmy not like Ger Brennan and Murphy never gets punished." did you not mean to say Clifford, a clear fore arm to McGonagle's head, an after the hooter a late shoulder to McGonagle again that started the whole thing, no cards or even a talking too.
Murphy did nothing except play football on Sunday and take hit after hit from Kerry players all day long, with no reaction.
That show you the class of the man, unlike the Kerry supporters who let themselves down.

Replying To ColmFlaherty: "All the bellyaching about Kerry vs Donegal when the obvious was missed when both teams breached the 3 back rule. ; )" Not true, Kerry fans starting shouting at officials that Donegal had breached the 2 up rule, because they only seen two Donegal players, but they failed to see Oisin Gallen was over getting water at the side of the pitch.

Replying To monaghanmad: "3 month minimum, a manager cannot touch a player, under no circumstances. Regardless of taking a backward step or not.
It will set a precedent that will run down from mc Guinness to club games around the country. It is zero tolerance. Sometimes a manager has to walk away and bite his lip.
In our games we cannot have managers run on and push platers, imagine mc Guinness gets away with this and the standards it sets to grassroots and club games. Stamp it out at the top." Yeah right, the games gone, sure there will be pitch invasions all over the Country now with managers boxing the head off everyone. I get it you're disappointed Jimmy didn't get banned but talk about an overreaction.

Replying To cavanman47: "The vast majority." Ireland is badly in need of new party, a new option with a clear alternative position and strong economic position. Sadly FF & FG are more of the same and the current opposition parties aren't showing a clear new roadmap to the electorate, so we are stuck with the career politicians.
Fianna Fail and Fine Gael are identical nowadays, we still hear terms like Center-left or Center-right to describe them, but in reality the two parties that have no clear core differences anymore.
Collectively both have blown billions of tax payers money for decades without any checks and balances to bring them to heel, yet who's loyal supporters act like our economy wouldn't survive without them. I seriously doubt that.

Replying To legendzxix: "'24 was Armagh's year. Kerry responded last year. Donegal are responding this year. Kerry accepted the clear red card on Saturday. Donegal did not after the league final. A bit of heckling is par for the course after the dirty stroke in the league final. Some of the Donegal reaction to that is laughable. I thought Donegal were a sporting county like Kerry. It might be just a minority or outliers in Donegal being bad winners. Sin é." " A bit of heckling is par for the course..." I could hear it all the way here in America: constant from the first minute until the 50th minute. It did die down after 50 minutes alright, not because Murphy had been subbed, but because all the Kerry fans had left the stadium, with their tails between their legs and their tongues stuck to the roofs of their mouths.

Replying To letterkennyGuy: "Just thought id pop in to see the craic. Seriously question lads, are ye ever going to get over the Murphy final incident? We chat about the English and '66, Wundt have a lookin with this... Get over it for god sake, If this was from someone from a weaker county it would be put to bed LONG ago but seeing as its Murphy (arguably the best of his generation) and Donegal who ye feel threatened by ye cant let it go.. Somehow try and get urself into a decent province where you'll harden up and play some tight matches. Kerry have too many easy games and dont know how to deal with it when its put up to them imo... David C (Class baller) sparked the row with his cheap shot after the hooter was gone and personally i hope he isnt banned because we want to see the best playing for the remainder of the championship. Mc Guinness included! Now stop trying to be the big bully in the school yard because as you know he always ends up looking silly ;)" So because Clifford is a good footballer he should be allowed get away with elbowing players in the jaw

Replying To eddieSize5Balls: "I agree with your frustrations lads but the thing is, this is a good thing really. The 12 week ban was ridiculous and likely will be changed completely for next season. I know that doesn't help you right now but imagine if Jim got 12 weeks too? When would it end." It would end by managers not running onto the field and interfering with opposition players. The fact is Brennan was banned for 12 weeks. We can all agree it was an excessive punishment but the fact McGuinness gets away Scot free makes a mockery of the Brennan ban.
This whole mess may cost Kerry and/or Donegal further down the line. For instance a player involved in a future 50/50 incident may result in red…rightly or wrongly these things can often come back to bite you.

Replying To joeteor: "Ger was red carded, Jim wasn't. That's the crux of it. CCCC didn't decide to give Brennan 12 weeks, it's just the standard length for that red card. Same as a 1 game ban for a player is the standard." Thats irrelevant.Video evidence counts.Sure Murphy got a card in league final and that was reason they said they could nt do him again..One rule for Dubs another for Donegal

Replying To shaggykev: "Thank god. GAA did the sums and came to right conclusion that banning Clifford and Jim would have caused absolute carnage. The whole comparing it to Ger Brennan was such whatabouterry.
We should spare a thought for the real victims in all this. Armagh fans." Absolutely and 2 wrongs don't make a right but Ger Brennan has every right to be even more disgusted now.

Leave well enough alone. Lowering the standard in Leinster is not going to improve a Leinster team's chance of being ready to step up against Munster teams.

There were plenty shouting loudly during the fuel protests, claiming to represent the vast majority. They got their answer over the weekend!

Replying To sponger: "They have the finest solicitors up in Donegal I hear." It never fails to amuse me how the GAA ties itself up in knots over disciplinary issues. Most people feel Ger Brennan's punishment was harsh. Both Michael Murphy and Jim McGuiness have escaped punishment for two incidents which if the rules were applied would result in suspensions. If they meet again in the championship there'll be no problem selling tickets for the game.

Dublin 7/4
Seems about right in fairness." Galway 4/7 now. 2/5 was ridiculous. Don't think there's much between them. Hard to call.

You have some hearing Fotever because the booing never happened until the second half.Murphy was greeted with a polite clap when his name was called but the booing of Murphy started happening in second half after a closed fist tackle by him again .The booing was wrong and I waa sad to hear it.Also a few Kerry fans left but I stayed until end with loads of Kerry fans.In fact a large crowd of Donegal fans left early I presume because of the long journey home .
