The only conspiracy around the Carlow v Dublin game was in the official ref's report. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4898 - 02/07/2017 17:34:51 2009075 Link
Replying To cavanman47: "Dublin are getting the money in the bank early this year. . .come semi final or final time when a big call goes their way (again), they'll throw this whole saga up and claim it all evens itself out."

Replying To Damothedub: "Sad , worse still you probably believe it which is even more sad" What is sad is the denial and head burying of Dubs who cannot see the wood for the trees. Their arrogant behaviour reminds me of Man Utd and Rangers fans when they were winning everything. Sneering and looking down their noses at everyone else.

Why would the GAA investigate like some are mentioning, it has no jurisdiction over the media, text messages etc. I do think Spillane needs to clarify here, who text who etc, if he doesn't he's lying. If he are going to make accusation then he needs to provide names and context, or provide the evidence, put his neck on the line and be open to defamation, he won't of course which leaves him wide open to his honesty and integrity being questioned. Has let himself down here in my opinion. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 02/07/2017 18:24:37 2009112 Link
Replying To arock: "And what would an investigation uncover? Ridiculous grassy knoll comments." Well Spillane will have to name who got text, I presume they will confirm it and publicly say who sent it, then that person can give reason for same, was it off his own back or instructed. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 02/07/2017 18:34:55 2009118 Link

He needs to show the proof of this. Any of us can go around saying what we like otherwise. DannyMcA (Dublin) - Posts: 260 - 02/07/2017 18:58:54 2009134 Link
Another Dublin related thread started by a culchie Seriously what would you do without us? jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20601 - 02/07/2017 19:04:13 2009143 Link
Replying To Damothedub: "Sad , worse still you probably believe it which is even more sad" It happened last year! For weeks after the all ireland semi final, Dublin fans on here said kev mcmenamons hit at the end of the Kerry game was fair and compared it to omahoneys earlier in the game. David Gough has since said he got it wrong, that omahoneys shoulder was fine but he didn't see mcmenamons and would've given the free in if he had. Same happened with Keegans incorrect black card in the final. . .dubs pointed out that Cooper got a harsh black. Even tho coopers was a black by the letter of the law and Keegans wasn't. (and before all the dubs dislike this post, id like to point out that it is factually based rather than an expression of opinion) cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5017 - 02/07/2017 19:15:46 2009154 Link

The GAA does have jurisdiction over its county boards and could investigate if it is claimed that an official of the Dublin Board made a 'call' that might undermine the contract the GAA has with RTE, neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 02/07/2017 19:52:35 2009172 Link
Replying To Iamlegion666: "The fact you have so many down votes is quite a sad showing of this forum. You literally gave the facts as they are and people still have to express disproval." Facts and Dublin posters in same sentence? seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2151 - 02/07/2017 20:02:17 2009178 Link
Replying To neverright: "The GAA does have jurisdiction over its county boards and could investigate if it is claimed that an official of the Dublin Board made a 'call' that might undermine the contract the GAA has with RTE," Even though I think it's as true as Rhinos being spotted in South Kerry. What rule does that breach mate? None. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 02/07/2017 20:15:21 2009182 Link

Or are you just sadly making things up? I think most posters recognised, once we had all seen numerous slow motion replays, that the ref got it wrong. Just like he should have given a free in to Dublin for O'Mahoney's hit too. If you're claiming that O'Mahoney's hit was fine then you're opinion on that issue can be discarded as you're clearly wrong. Just like I'd be clearly wrong to say that McManoman's hit was fine. Both were fouls that were not given. It happens in all games. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13718 - 02/07/2017 20:16:22 2009184 Link

The o mahoney hit on mcmahon was far worse he actually let the ball run by and lined mcmahon up from a good bit out..at least Crowley had the ball when he got hit. jacktheDub (Dublin) - Posts: 944 - 02/07/2017 20:46:37 2009206 Link

Replying To Ulsterman: "What is sad is the denial and head burying of Dubs who cannot see the wood for the trees. Their arrogant behaviour reminds me of Man Utd and Rangers fans when they were winning everything. Sneering and looking down their noses at everyone else." If you want to talk about arrogant counties then look no further than Kerry. Much worse than Dublin could ever be claimed to be. As for the claim by You know who - well he has opened a right auld bag of snakes here. Let us see him back his claim up now. The Kerry Dublin rivalry has taken to a whole new low level now. Is it just me or does the timing of all this, in an era when Dublin are dominating Kerry in the championship, not smell a bit off... Something untoward going on here and in my opinion, as Dessie D has stated, all pre planned and calculated by a certain tv pundit. Sad that an ex football great resorts to this in order to try to derail the Dubs and at the same time benefit his own county, in terms of distracting focus etc. In my opinion, this is all going too far now. Pundits are supposed to be unbiased yet then write articles in papers which clearly have anterior motives. Not good to see at all. If correct then why the innuendo - don't beat about the bush. Just name the person who sent the text....! Plenty of bridges being burned at the moment though it has to be said. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 3738 - 02/07/2017 21:02:11 2009220 Link
