totally, both parties should be punished no matter who they are. no player/s are above the rules or the association.

yes he did, should actually have been a straight red with a severe suspension to follow. Any action with fingers in the mouth eyes or around the throat neck area could cause serious injury to a player. and could be seen as trying to cause serious injury to your opponent. Personally I have no time for this bullsh-t that takes place now trying from the throw in to get another player lined it should have no place in our games.

Bahaha its gas, theres people on here only praying Diarmuid gets done, rules are rules, but I wonder just how much the fact that the officials took no note of it during the game will affect the CCCC's verdict, seems there's a bit of a loophole there? Or maybe I'm wrong, please put me straight if I am. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8596 - 05/06/2017 19:56:49 1995220 Link 3 |
Connollys physically manhandled and abused a linesman within 3 or 4 yards of the referee and absolutely nothing was done about it arock. Yet within a minute the opposite linesman called the Murphy incident to the referees attention and off he went on a second yellow. Yes we all saw the Murphy incident and yes that yellow at least was warranted. But the same linesman never cited Cooper for illegally inhibiting Murphy from Joining a very very key moment of play when the match was still very much alive and in the mix. That's the bit that beggars belief to me. And all within about a minute. Contrary to the Sunday Games analysis, Connolly got no particular gamesmanship or special attention from any Carlow player during the game that I saw. Nobody "poked the bear" Pat Spillane. He never got into the game and "reacted" very badly out of frustration. Passer_By (Carlow) - Posts: 510 - 05/06/2017 20:01:44 1995223 Link 1 |
He put his hand on his chest and said something to the effect of "that was our f##king ball" (which it was), get a lip reader to verify that if you wish, but manhandled and abused? If the ruling is 12 weeks so be it but don't exaggerate.

I think your wrong here mate, I think a player has a right to legal represtation to ensure their legal rights aren't infrigened by an internal organisational action. That's true of any citizen. In the case of an organisation with a large media profile and the effects that can have on an individual, it would be a very silly player who didn't have legal representation. The Due process of this needs to be immaculate. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 05/06/2017 20:20:57 1995230 Link 0 |

Evan Comerford was suspended after his incident was included in the referees report and he was suspended by a committee in Tipperary. It is a totally different committee to the one that will be looking at the Connolly incident, which may not even feature in the referees report, so all talk that little Tipperary get treated differently to big bad Dublin is nonsense.

So to be clear on what Connolly has a right to do: TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 05/06/2017 20:43:49 1995242 Link 0 |
Hold on. So someone was sent off by Paddy Russell and actually left the field of play? Crazy stuff!

Jes lads when you look at the state of things we haven't got much to talk about when all you have to worry about is should DC get a 12 week ban, Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 2756 - 05/06/2017 20:48:27 1995247 Link 4 |
So in essence, the GAA who pour money by the lorry load into Dublin Gaa will be outdone by Dublin's top class law team indirectly paid for by the GAA /

Chicken and egg mate in terms of who pours money into who. They will have to revise their publicity strategy without Connolly this summer and possibly in the future. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 05/06/2017 21:24:13 1995264 Link 0 |
The powers that be haven't gotten wriggle room for "common sense to prevail". Minor physical interference with an official brings a 12 week ban under the Association rules. A sanction they have already enforced this season in other cases so hard to see how they can give a lower sanction to Connolly. Personally I don't care that it's Connolly, I think the rules have to be seen to be applied all around. Like I said earlier, interesting few days lie ahead.

Presume wrong, according to the gaa disciplinary code any time defined suspension i.e. a suspension defined by period of time rather than a number of matches will commence from and include the day the player last played, therefore a 12 week suspension would terminate at 12 midnight Friday 25th August. A twelve week suspension would include all levels, teams and codes. Surely time that all suspensions were match defined and not time defined. Seems odd that some "infractions" can be punished with a one match ban and others with a two week ban which might mean nothing.

So it is, every day is a school day. If he is suspended it looks like he would be back should Dublin reach a semi-final. Could work out well for him and Dublin.

Pillar reckons Connolly should be banned for 12 weeks so what ye think of that? KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 05/06/2017 22:46:47 1995305 Link 1 |
I was literally just going to post something similar! Also if memory serves a whole host of mayo players rushed to the ref after the 2013 go so surrounding him with pointed fingers. Like you can't ban them all or should we according to lots on here. We need to apply common sense too. In my opinion this uproar is he cos Connolly just isn't like. Nothing else."]There mustn't be much of a history of finger pointing if you have to go back to something that might or might not have happened four years ago. You're not really helping the defence there. On the other hand it's good to see your lads are in Kildare are perfectly behaved.
