O'Gara's definitely big enough to speak up for himself Soma! It's like kids in a playground with some posters here. If we did something wrong we have to find a Dublin wrong to justify our wrong , or in many cases non-Dublin or non-Mayo posters will do so on our behalf, whether we want them to or not. The game is over, we lost, time to learn harsh lessons and move on.Lee threw the GPS at Dean Rock. Of course he broke the rules but it was desperation time. He hates losing. If he was at the banquet on Sunday night and said he thought about pegging the GPS at Rock and didn't do so his teammates would surely have asked him why not. For years we were said to be too nice to be serious contenders. I prefer us now trying some dark arts, but I'm biased. I think Joxer compared Lee to Mick Lyons? A serious compliment to pay any player who wants to dabble in the dark arts. Still hasn't won us the Sam Maguire though."]The lengths people go to on here to defend their own team or players is quite sad...i don't know if it makes them feel more a part of it or something...bit of objectivity always a help alano12 (Dublin) - Posts: 2208 - 21/09/2017 18:08:49 2049102 Link 1 |
Fat chance of that..cheerleading is preferred

For what it's worth, it don't think O Gara's action was comparable and wasn't a potential outcome altering incident. Dubh_linn (Dublin) - Posts: 2312 - 21/09/2017 21:29:48 2049181 Link 1 |
Agreed, there was fan footage of the incident from the canal end. As Rock was preparing his free kick Clarke was trying to put the tee out. Costelloe threw it off the pitch and correctly so. The only time the tee should be on the pitch is for a kick out, end of. If the ball came off the post and someone tripped over the tee going for the ball and got injured Clarke would be at fault.

I see the point you are making - the tee placed on the pitch could be seen as a health hazzard or even a defensive barricade in front of the Mayo goal. Two Dub posters mentioned that it was in Rock's line of vision. I'm surprised that there wasn't a complaint from Dublin airport Authority that it was causing flight path problems. However, what did the two tees hiding behind the goalposts do to deserve a kicking? I can't fathom that out. neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 23/09/2017 20:06:22 2049705 Link 3 |

You seen the footage. Why did Costello interfere with the kicking tees that WERE NOT on the pitch?

What a brilliant article by Alan Brogan in yesterday's Indo. yelowbelly (Wexford) - Posts: 409 - 25/09/2017 19:05:22 2050448 Link 0 |
Brilliant is stretching it in my opinion. Fairly obvious synopsis from a player who retired 2 years ago. All these little things are becoming accepted now as winning mentality. I suppose there's nothing that new in them. Babs Keating offered a bet to Richie Bennis on him scoring the winning 65 in the 1973 Munster Final as he was about to rise the ball.

my god all the problems in sport comes down to someone fiddling with tee's OFF the pitch - hang him.

I thought it was a fair commentary, instead of some of the ridiculous finger-pointing and blame thats being posted here.

Fair commentary i'd agree, but not brilliant. He wouldn't be in the same league of sports journalist as Eamonn Sweeney and Neil Francis in my opinion.

I'll admit that I was silly to respond to the drivel in the previous post. Sometimes we all make mistakes. But your post just doesn't make any sense as a reply to what I posted.

No way he should have interfered with the tee the 2nd time. Bad form, no doubt. Unsporting. jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 26/09/2017 12:04:13 2050604 Link 0 |
Didn't Barry John Keane do something similar at the end of the 2014 final? FootblockREF (Monaghan) - Posts: 563 - 26/09/2017 12:26:44 2050623 Link 0 |
