Replying To The_DOC:  "Imagine DB playing 6 for the Galway footballers, game changer"
Sure would, Daithi is one of the most talented GAA players in the country and its a huge shame that its impossible to be a dual player in this era.

Replying To Pinkie:  "Killarney.87 that is true but at the same time the difference is that all 3 you mentioned were trying to play the ball. That was not the case with Daithi Burke."
Pinkie it will be too soft a game if players see the line for challenges like that.

Even though Horgan's one was a little harsh he was careless and could have badly injured the player. I'm sure Scanlon was ok after Burke's tackle.

Are you talking about Pat Horgans tap on the helmet of Paudie O Brien? Totally harmless in comparison to Burke's challenge

Replying To butterfly:  "I've looked back over the galway/kk match a few times since Sunday, although I wasn't there I have seen numerous replays of his tackle on Luke Scanlon. While its all well and good to protect your square is there not a limit?
Like he made no attempt to play the ball only the man, he could have caused serious damage to Scanlon (to his credit got a bit of treatment and got on with things and none of the kilkenny players made a big hullabaloo about it).
As a neutral the games result was of no importance to me, but surely Burke should have seen the line for it?? If it was done in a club match you would expect the line no??
Or am I going soft in my old age"
any thoughts on the challenges from Wexford full back and the general rough play by the slaney boys? after you review the tapes lol
