No but I know what he was charged with! McGeeney didn't even touch Joe McQuillan and he got a ban. Listen I wouldn't worry about it, I'm sure the really blue rulebook will come out and Mr Connolly will be grand.

Hill its all speculative at the minute unit the CCCC have reviewed the Refs match report. If it says something along the line of "seen DC & the linesman have an altercation but it appeared harmless" then I dont think the CCCC would have any grounds for an intervention, as the ref would have seen and dealt with the issue. However if the report states "after the game the linesman informed me of an altercation between himself and DC" then the CCCC would be in a position to investigate. We will know more in the morning. I honestly wouldn't like to see DC suspended for 3 months for this but you have to admit he has a problem with controlling his temper on the pitch and for his own development he needs to control this.

So you're defending a blatant push on an official. If he doesn't push the official nothing happens, most lads argue but get on with it. You can't protect a lad when he pushes a ref or a lad who keeps brushing with the laws of the game. If players break the rules like this, they need to punished.

Does that cover when they don't put certain things in match reports?

Jim During the Sean Cavanagh witch hunt, and it was a witch hunt, you didn't condemn what was happening. I actually thought Spillane and Colm O'R were quite level headed. Only covered it for a few seconds, said how they felt and moved on. Didn't go overboard unlike a certain Joe Brolly did. The Sunday game also commented on the Mattie Donnelly incident saying he should of been banned. (And he should of been, no clear footage so different to Connolly were it's very clear).

It covers the lot my friend Will never improve unless their performances are judged in the same vein as any player or managers hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 06/06/2017 17:33:03 1995798 Link 0 |

If you don't know what comerford did then how do you know it's the same thing?

Just for the record, those of you saying he "pushed the linesman" have either Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8166 - 06/06/2017 17:41:37 1995809 Link 1 |
Fair enough I also think he gets abused on the pitch and officials need to punish that as much as he needs to control his reactions Again all stems from officials not doing their job right if they stamp out targetting of players you don't get players reacting. The ref was five yards away from the incident looking directly at it so it would be very fishy if he has in report he was only informed after the match. hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 06/06/2017 17:44:16 1995813 Link 0 |
It's not a which comes first the chicken or the egg scenario my friend haha The linesman made the call first that's quite clear hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 06/06/2017 17:46:30 1995814 Link 0 |
12 week ban confirmed just now. Not surprising, you just can't lay a hand on an official. Should do the right thing and accept and get on with things. Appealing and dragging this out will do no one any favours Loughduff Lad (Cavan) - Posts: 2401 - 06/06/2017 17:55:15 1995820 Link 2 |
An open and shut case. Minor physical interference (laying a hand on, pushing, pulling or jostling') was made and that is enough for 12 weeks. Some Dublin posters are living in cloud cuckoo land. He's a big loss to the entertainment of the championship and he's blown his chance for a POTY and he's disrupted Dublin's prep but he'll be back for the big days. realman2 (Kildare) - Posts: 464 - 06/06/2017 17:56:10 1995822 Link 4 |
You are right Liam, it was not a serious incident but the fact is that players cannot lay hands on officials in any way, serious or not. There can be no leeway of any description in this or some else will say "it was all right for Connolly so why not me". It is very unfortunate for him as I don't think for one minute that he intended any harm but he really only has himself to blame.

Everyone watching the game saw the incident. There was contact with the linesman, which is a offence in the rule book . The event was replayed, and commented on, post match, and on the Sunday Game.

I don't think he should be banned. It really wasn't particularly bad what was done. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4236 - 06/06/2017 18:01:58 1995828 Link 0 |

I said I knew what Comerford was charged with, which is exactly what Connolly was charged with. And now equal punishment has been given to both parties which is fair enough to most right thinking people.

Not even sure they are living in cuckoo land or more so doing the old reliable 'everyone hates us rant' if it was one of my own I'd say the same. Can't do what he done end of. Beautiful.Meath (Meath) - Posts: 537 - 06/06/2017 18:07:38 1995833 Link 2 |
