Exactly, no one thinks of how the refs might feel. They are happy to defend a lad who has done stuff on and off the field.

Now show me instances where players from the lower profile teams got off. All your examples are from top level teams. Young Comerford didn't get off but then he's from Tipp, not Dublin level I know. Two tier GAA still applies.

The Sunday game pick and choose what they analyse a perfect example was Sean cavanagh a couple of years for his tackle on mcmanus then you had mckiernan tackle at the end of the game against wasn't even mentioned. All you had was an analyst from a county that has had 2 doping question Marks over them settling a score. The sense of outrage is only because it was Connolly and Dublin of course Spillane would love to see Connolly suspended it would suit his county no end. People on here don't give a damn about rules they just want to see a lynching because who was involved.

Thats not what you said. A ten minute search is all it took for me to find examples to dispel your statement. So no, it's not just Connolly that gets off. But here are some examples of non top tier counties that have gotten their suspensions overturned on appeal. http://clareherald.com/2016/04/tubridy-red-card-overturned-ahead-of-div-3-final-with-kildare-567/ https://www.google.ie/amp/s/www.irishtimes.com/news/savage-has-red-card-overturned-1.415210%3Fmode%3Damp http://www.westmeathexaminer.ie/sport/roundup/articles/2013/07/11/4016681-huge-boost-for-westmeath-minors-as-isreals-red-card-is-rescinded/ http://m.herald.ie/sport/gaa/downs-gordon-boost-as-referee-fahys-second-red-card-of-summer-is-overturned-27880659.html http://wicklowgaa.net/tag/wicklow/page/12/ http://www.wikiwand.com/en/Brendan_Murphy_(Carlow_footballer) Jackeen (Dublin) - Posts: 4097 - 06/06/2017 15:44:40 1995700 Link 3 |
Scenes when Diarmuid Connolly get off with a warning and no further action haha waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 06/06/2017 15:53:31 1995704 Link 1 |
Twice already in this thread I've mentioned the incident in the Clare v Limerick game where Patrick O Connor put his hand on the umpire. Yet not one of the dozens of posters on here who are preaching like Pharisees about adhering to the rulebook have said he should also get 12 week ban. I agree DC should get 12 weeks but it shows the hypocrisy of posters on here and that they are only all over this cos it's Connolly.

For someone who quoted the rules a lot here you seem to misunderstand the rules that the cccc work under. There's a difference in a red sending off a player and a ref seeing an incident and not sending off a player which iswhat happened here so he is deemed to have dealt with the incident which means the cccc by the rules have no jurisdiction, the only thing they can go by is a match report and I don't see how a red can change his mind 45minutes later on an a decision without being told to do so by certain people which would therefore be breaking the rules again.

Well if you look at what started the situation a blatant inexcusable wrong call from said linesman, like there was nobody even contested the kickout it literally went from the keeper to the sideline untouched, the linesman shouldn't be let officiate if he can't get a basic call like that right. But yeah just focus on players and keep repeating these officiating disasters week in week out seems to be your answer, you will never improve anything that way

And these were all for minor physical interference with an official? Yes? Ah well sure then let him off so! Give the Tipp lads a shout and tell them Comerford is back in business.

So Connolly was only trying to push some common sense into him? Let's see how that goes around the country this year. Officials will be thrilled.

He went to collect the ball because it was quite clear it was a Dublin ball Where do you get he picked it up to wind up Carlow lads is strange. I don't think he even seen the flag go up the wrong way as nobody in portlaoise expected him to somehow give a Carlow ball from their keeper kicking it straight out of play hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 06/06/2017 16:47:07 1995763 Link 0 |
But your defending the blatant bad call the linesman and ref decided to make Again if he doesn't make the bad call nothing happens you can't keep protecting officials who can't officiate properly, they need to improve or be dropped hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 06/06/2017 16:50:19 1995769 Link 0 |
I do find it amazing that even though there is no doubt of the brilliance of Connolly, the Dubs think there is nobody better. He isn't even the standout performer for Dublin in recent years.

Stop widening the goalposts. Your original post stated and I quote "The rest of the country seems to have to serve their suspension though". I've demonstrated that statement is incorrect. It makes no difference to this discussion what the infringement was for. All the best.
