Apologies I thought you were referring to Connolly's "assault" on the linesman .

As you say yourself, you can tack criticism but you can't take it! ;)

No not at all. The 'standard reactive/defensive Dublin response to criticism' is hardly just a Dublin phenomenon. You only have to look at the response of the Donegal lads reaction to anything negative said about JimMc on this thread, justified or not as a case in point. A.

Have no qualms with people criticising things Jim has said, but when his character gets called into question I think we're right enough to bristle at that. Some pathetic childish stuff been said in the thread.

Good man! It was daft alright but listen Charlie should have kept it to himself and not been throwing muck back, and he shouldn't have been that critical of McGuinness in any shape or form. It was a poor effort. The whole Sunday game incident is a thing of the past now and Gavin is back talking to them It's a pity that a really nothing incident that wasn't deemed important enough to be dealt with at the time has resulted in this but that's what happens when players are targeted in a very self serving way. Look at what Cody did and the reaction to it... the big difference is that there wasn't a deliberate campaign against Cody. Gavin was right not to talk to the Sunday game after the effort they went to hang Connolly in the manner they did... It was no doubt a self serving personal agenda to over blow a nothing incident and this is what happens... jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 19/07/2017 13:57:54 2019283 Link 0 |
I replied to SaffronDon regarding Dublin posters 'reactive/defensive' response to any criticism. I made the point its country wide. That's all. I have never called any manager/players character into question. Not my thing. As I stated earlier in thread I thought both articles were rubbish. Both using inflammatory language to what end?

you should maybe take a look at the Donegal reaction when somebody criticised one of their backroom staff members behaviour on the touchline last week. Most if not all called him what he was, an embarrassment. No whataboutery like we see time and again on anything involving Dublin.

Ah good, another poster who talks absolute mince. Pretty easy having that viewpoint when you had no chance of playing for Dublin or get paid big bucks to be involved in pro soccer. I do have to laugh at the posters who think it's a competition on here to prove who is the biggest die hard, much like my own county it's usually the people who know the least and you wouldn't want to be anywhere near during a game. Another Dub poster was posting pure muck when ROC decided to take a break to go travelling. Laughable stuff.

I wasn't singling out Donegal people either. But it is a countrywide thing. Most threads on this forum end up in childish whataboutery. It's not just a Dublin thing. Anyway that's me done. We could keep going in circles.

ah the moral standards are just impeccable on here aren't they. I'm sure if you had a young family in rural Donegal in this day and age after years of study your family would be delighted at your loyalty over making a fortune and setting them up for life!

Why is it so hard for you to understand that I would rather play or manage Dublin than play or manage soccer ??? How is that mince? It's just being honest. how do you know If I ever had a chance of playing for dublin or not??? You don't know who I am so very silly statement to make. I played underage for Dublin at all ages and alongside 7 or 8 of the current team. I don't know if I could have made it in soccer as I never had any interest in playing for a team so can't answer that one. it's not being the biggest die hard I don't see why you find it so hard to believe i prefer gaa to soccer. hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 19/07/2017 20:17:24 2019524 Link 0 |
Again I'll explain this really slow I prefer gaelic football to soccer I'm not motivated by money in my life I would rather do things that make me happy than do things just for money. I think it says more about your morals if your only motivation in life is money. I think my family would rather see me happy than do something just for money as they care about my happiness. hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 19/07/2017 20:27:13 2019531 Link 0 |

Listen man, your post is so daft it doesn't warrant a response. Unless you are a teenager who has zero life experience then you seriously need to raise your goals for life. Die hard Dubs fan who has no interest in making being a success in a professional sports environment, well done.
