The one against Meath was a deliberate body check. He changed his run to hit a Meath runner coming out of defence. It was clear, deliberate and cynical. Royalio11 (Meath) - Posts: 757 - 12/08/2019 07:27:15 2224420 Link 1 |
A Kerry footballer being denied to play in an All Ireland, never! If it were a Galway hurler against Tipp, well then....

I only saw the previous 2 blacks last night, 1 black was from a game last February now I'll admit he didn't look good there and was rightly sent off for a finished but the incident was dealt with on that occasion. The blackcard against Meath was probably a blackcard too and yesterday he didn't need to do it. My point is I think blackcards should not carry during the season, I just feel myself if Stephen O'Brien misses the all Ireland final it would a harsh way to lose out, like I'm sure you would too if it was Michael Murphy and Donegal going into an all Ireland final.

or what about a Waterford Hurler missing out on a semi-Final against Cork.

Of course O Brien should get off on appeal as every other player seems to... Remember Dermott Connolly played in an All Ireland Final after getting a straight red in the semi but on appeal got it overturned even though video evidence clearly showed him striking his opponent ... The GAA set a precedent on that occasion that renders their rules worthless in my view...!!! Sean.66 (Cavan) - Posts: 293 - 12/08/2019 10:52:13 2224523 Link 2 |
Sean Cavanagh, great player. His analysis is a bit insecure. BliainanÁir (Laois) - Posts: 598 - 12/08/2019 19:10:21 2224841 Link 2 |
It's Diarmuid, not Dermott. The precedent for getting off suspensions for All-Ireland finals was set long before Diarmuid Connolly got off in 2011. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13692 - 12/08/2019 19:16:43 2224843 Link 10 |
Running forever on an exercise bike!! Now I know the reason Fenton demonstrates super fitness levels, the freakish ability to run on a bike. Sean was was just highlighting that even in their down time certain players always strive for more ti gain the little edges that take you from good to great. Fenton doesn't just show up and play the way he does. He works his arse off. Who they get pictures taken with is surely their business. Petty comment IMO.

*running on a thread mill!! Even Brian Fenton can't manage running on an exercise bike! Though he probably can run on water.

Is that this Connolly incident where the Donegal player takes a dive holding his face after getting pushed in the shoulder? No player should miss an AI final for that. https://youtu.be/o8kzJ0yLcWs Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4698 - 12/08/2019 20:16:34 2224875 Link 10 |
Just for the record. The black card was voted in before Swann cavanagh rugby tackled Conor MCManus. You've been watching too much of the Sunday Game. You'd have to feel for Stephen O brien, to miss out on an all Ireland final because of a black card picked up in february is just wrong. Cards shouldn't carry across unconnected competitions. The reality is all the cards were definite blacks - the one v Meath is an NFL style blocking run. O Brien was foolish to pick up the third v Tyrone tirawleybaron (Mayo) - Posts: 1091 - 12/08/2019 20:50:19 2224890 Link 0 |
So what. I'd say Brendan Murphy of Carlow probably does the same amount of running but more bull about the bigger counties. Cavanagh is painfull to listen to.

No-Conor Gleeson- All Ireland V Galway or John Mullane, who took his punishment like a real and did not appeal

From 2020 they should have a statute of limitations for appeals. None of this disciplinary points accumulating and it's grand but if an infringement in a later game might put them out of a big game they're all over checking previous cards with a 'never was a card' story. Appeal the ruling within a couple of weeks or never. If it 'never was a card's in February then appeal it then. Should be too late in August to retrospectively decide it was unfair.

You actually criticising a player looking for a photo with his wife and kid in his last game at croke park. Strange world we live in.

Just to clarify- it is Tipperary v Kilkenny in the All-Ireland final today, isn't it? streaker (Galway) - Posts: 496 - 18/08/2019 14:37:33 2226993 Link 1 |
So the ref is mic'd up today but only the RTE producer will hear what he's saying as they aren't broadcasting it. What's the point in that? Thelonesomegoose (Leitrim) - Posts: 204 - 18/08/2019 14:52:11 2226997 Link 1 |
Producer will keep the commentators informed I presume.
