Liam i think your comments on this situation are very honest and perceptive.

At the end of the day do we want angry young men putting hands on officials and gesticulating in an aggressive manner with no punishment? Be it Diarmuid Connolly from Dublin or Tom Murphy playing with Warickshire? Laois76 (Laois) - Posts: 1270 - 12/06/2017 23:02:30 1998813 Link 6 |

Hill They are two different situations. Kerrigan put his hand on his shoulder in a non aggressive way. Connolly aggressively marched over, Shouting and pushed his hand into the linesman. You see what Kerrigan done all the time. You are about to get a yellow card and you try to influence the ref by putting a hand on the shoulder as if he's your best mate, make out as if you done nothing wrong even though you and the ref know know fine rightly.

It was an Ulster gael that got him sent off on one of those occassions when he appealed, that disgraceful dive in 2011 in a quarter final you may remember. Bull, I don't remember Dubs posting on here to slam Cavanagh after his rugby tackle. It wouldn't have held much interest for us. If Cavanagh had nudged that linesman having been dragged out of by three opponents and then having a sideline ball incorrectly awarded against him and then had a 3 month band imposed, this forum would be swamped with Ulster posters claiming that there was an anti-Ulster agenda. Connolly should accept the ban and we'll take him back in August.

Hadn't thought of that. Could be something in that

Ah please, he did more than touch him. Be reasonable at least. Your blue glasses really are working overtime on here.

Mayo are in the A side of the draw so we would avoid them in the Quarters if we win Leinster.

You seem to be a man in the know. Can you answer the questions below so. Can somebody please tell me how alot of people seem to know what is in refs report? When it was compiled, how the ref decided what to put in the report and when the report was submitted. Has all this already been made public? Serious question. Would like to know thanks Weary (None) - Posts: 249 - 13/06/2017 08:05:14 1998863 Link 0 |
Maybe Connolly should do as Paul Galvin suggests and switch Inter-county codes. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4898 - 13/06/2017 09:49:44 1998891 Link 0 |

Was he not given extra for his awful disciplinary record? Honest question.....I thought that's why extra was added, he had been sent off a few times that year already. The_Fridge (Tyrone) - Posts: 2088 - 13/06/2017 12:21:29 1998999 Link 0 |

I am on record as being a big admirer of Connolly's and this Dublin team but I have to say I have an awful feeling he is going to get off & if he does it will be another nail in the coffin of Gaelic games for the simple reason that if officials are fair game then we won't have any in the near future.

Exactly, these things do tend to turn into a soap opera. Too many layers of appeal to start with. The sanction should be handed down with one appeal body to go to. Possibly a DRA style body as they seem to have the final say on everything anyway, why not just go directly to them and drop all the CCCCs committees? All could be wrapped up in a week or ten days instead of this ridiculous over and back we have now. kildare73 (Kildare) - Posts: 854 - 13/06/2017 13:39:43 1999079 Link 0 |
What do you mean you are a bit long in the tooth for this sort of crap ? This isn't affecting your life, my life or anybody apart from the parties involved life. He is appealing, Itll drag on a bit more.. Don't see the big deal personally man

Ya I think it was to do with his bad discipline in fairness, he had got sent of against cork in PUR in the league and it was his second dismissal within a few months when he got sent off against Clare. It was a total circus that year and didn't do us any favours later in the championship. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 13/06/2017 14:08:11 1999099 Link 0 |
Bit ironic that Brolly, who constantly bemoans elitism in the gaa, should write a full article on Connolly and not mention Comerford.
