No push at all ridiculous talk about exaggerating contact. And look at the context, Keeper kicks ball into touch, Connolly attempts to get it, is manhandled by 3 Carlow players, to the lads horror the linesman is pointing the flag the wrong way. Its no wonder he reacted the way he did. I will concede it was a "push" of air. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4897 - 06/06/2017 18:17:44 1995839 Link 1 |
I feel we haven't heard the end of this. Dublin will be fine though they will still win the AI with or without Connolly. WildPundit (Tipperary) - Posts: 1709 - 06/06/2017 18:18:51 1995842 Link 1 |

You can't have an acceptable level of contact with the referee. Hence 12 weeks is appropriate. Anyone who has played knows that you basically don't touch the referee...ever...it's not that hard to keep to.

Them are the rules and the ref had it in his match report, he did make minimal contact jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 06/06/2017 18:38:37 1995858 Link 2 |

A chance now for Dublin GAA to show their true colours. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5016 - 06/06/2017 18:40:23 1995861 Link 2 |
It's the attitude of Dublin fans like you that's embarrassing. The guy put his hands on an official, you just can't do that ever and that protection needs to be upheld. Even Pillar Caffrey came out early and said what he did was wrong. Maybe don't embarrass yourselves this time and don't go with the grovelling appeals.

If only Laois football had such a good comeback! instead of rolling over and having your belly tickled by the mighty Kildare.

Well there ya go lads, done and dusted. Dare Kerry or Mayo not beat a Connollyless Dublin? Ooooh :D realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8596 - 06/06/2017 18:55:35 1995876 Link 1 |
I'm not surprised at the attempts to play down Connolly's indiscretion by some here but surprised at the weakness of some of the arguments. The man done wrong, simple as, he approached an official in an aggressive manner and made contact with him, a clear breach of the rule in question. Whether you like it or not that's the rule and others have suffered the consequences of the same rule, Connolly can not be an execption and must suffer for his inability to contain his emotions. Neither Dublin nor Connolly are the victim here , there is no unfair targetting, the man clearly broke a rule and there is no argument to his defence in my opinion anyway.

That statement makes absoultly no sense at all, because they propose 12 weeks somehow you feel that makes me wrong????? You do realise what your actually saying there don't you? I said he clearly waved for a sideline ball incorrectly before Connolly went near him how does Connolly getting a suspension change that course of events????? hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 06/06/2017 19:04:31 1995885 Link 0 |
He's done some damage to Kildare down the years that's for sure

Hmmm legally it's the gaa here who are showing no respect for the rules, as the cccc are not allowed judicate on an incident that the officials have adjudicated on already. they are breaking their own rules here. The officials seen the incident took no action therefore if this goes to the DRA it will be overturned on the basis hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 06/06/2017 19:10:55 1995892 Link 0 |
