Replying To seanie_boy:  "Surely you're not really as naive as that post makes you out to be.We all know this stuff goes on weather it's against the rules,the spirit of the game etc. You'd want to have a word with Philly,Diarmuid and a few others cos I think nobody told them about this."
Silly comment where did I say I condone it and just because I'm from Dublin you point out Dublin players names as if it means in wrong in saying it's not part of the game, if they verbally abuse they fully deserve a black card like any other player regardless of Jersey

Replying To Breffni39:  "I'm pretty indifferent to Kerry as it happens. I object to a few Kerry posters on here though. I know you expect special treatment but you won't get it from me I'm afraid."
You come across as fairly indifferent alright when your posting on any and every thread about Kerry!!!

But sure there's plenty like you so you won't be treated any different either.

Enjoy the Championship.

Yeah I repeat, I'm responding to specific Kerry posters like yourself... on a messageboard.

I don't like/dislike Kerry any more or less than the majority of counties I have no real connection to.

I comment on a lot of non-Kerry related stuff too but obviously this doesn't register with you.

Must be oblivious, sure I've no self-awareness apparently...

Don't worry about it Hill,you said it's not part of the game and that it's a black card offence. I'll put it to you that it's a black card offence because it clearly is part of the game. I didn't say you condoned it. I'm just refuting your assertion that it's not part of the game. Like I said it's no big deal if it doesn't cross the line of decency.

Replying To TheHermit:  "I saw this picture up on Facebook posted by a lad I know from Dublin and he shared it from a Dublin fan's site's official facebook page. Now this lad is a great lad to tag you in a post going on about Kerry losing a match or Dublin winning, but he's been fair quiet the last two days.

I went on this Dublin fan page anyway for the craic and my God, there is a serious paranoia complex or maybe something worse. Posts left, right and centre about the media worms coming out from under their rocks to slate Dublin, Connolly being a martyr etc etc. If this fella is like that after a League match, what was he like before Dublin were winning titles?? I won't name the site but I assume some of the Dublin posters know of it. It made for interesting reading being a Kerryman!

Now back to Morley, a young fella in the heat of the moment smiles and appears to clap his hands seeing Connolly march. I mean to me that's about as provocative as the hurling lads jumping up and punching the air any time they get awarded a free. If that's all the indignation people are getting from this game than it tells its own story.

I was chatting to plenty of Dubs and Kerry fans after the game over pints. Everyone felt the black cards were justified, most were happy enough with the referee and no one in any way considered it a dirty or cynical game. So whatever about those watching on the couch, I'll opt for the judgement of people that were actually there."
Like I said in original post it's not a big deal for me. Just pointing out that others have been ridiculed for similar behaviour.

Replying To Joxer:  "Ha, fair enough Seanie. I love an oul soap box. I'll be looking out for your 'oh woe is us Ulster teams' as the year goes on. :). No doubt you'll be looking out for the Dubs' posts proclaiming that our team are all angels. All part of the banter."
An oul bit o banter is ok Joxer. I quite enjoyed that game the last day and in all honesty any of the highlighted "incidents" were no big deal to me. roll on championship time. I'm sure we'll all have plenty to talk about between now and September lol.

Oh I know Seanie I was more posting about this Facebook page I stumbled across. Like I said the fella running it needs to take a chill pill or he'll have a coronary! Apparently they do a podcast too, must listen to that next time we're playing Dublin.
