That wasn't my point and you know it. Feel free to reply to me when you are in a better mood. Is the weather bad in Japan? And please try and refrain from the name calling.

Of course that is the truth roundball, everyone knows it is. It is just a load of BS. This thread has turned into an excuse for the tyrone lads to try to lay the blame at someone elses door. But when all is said and done, and this thread has sunk to the depths, tyrone will still be the biggest cheaters in the gaa.

I've always liked Mayo but this year they do seem to have a number of players who are at it. I guess after 6 long barren decades they're getting desperate and are willing to do anything to get their hands on Sam

Would that number happen to be 1?

The full forward was definitely diving. Why was Liam Mc Hale sent off, he just seemed to be looking for his dog or something

A number of Mayo players have been at it this year. At least some Mayo fans have the decency to condemn it but others it seems are turning a blind eye to it, trying to change the subject by talking about a Tyrone player diving 9 years ago. It seems they really are willing to plumb new depths in that search for Sam. A worrying trend

Do these players have names pplocal? We have established donal vaughan so take his single dive where he didnt appeal to the ref as read. Who are the others?

This is a very intelligent thread, bravo to all involved.

This is the video for diving.

It's come into the game of GAA like all sports...none is free...but we are still well behind some of the other sports!

Yes but Dublin fairly won there All Ireland Brendan. They are not hypocrites so to speak.

The Dublin game was quite possibly the worst for it, I lost count of the number of players who went to ground over nothing. O'Shea landed a beautiful one in that game I recall, an 8.5 at least. You're seriously mistaken if you think Vaughan's dive against Cork in the final was his only one as he got a Cork man sent off during the League. It's good to see some condemn it but they're in the minority, most seem intent on changing the subject which is tantamount to condoning it. Mayo have a good team so I don't see the need for such blatant and consistent cheating

Croker Chokers are what Mayo are. Well done Cork and this from Kerry

Ah the oul rattled comment! It always makes an appearance when the OP hasn't a clue what he's talking about.

dhorse - thanks for the clip! Ah the memories! Funniest. All. Ireland. EVER. A powerful Mayo team who seem destined to break the curse were provoked into a fight, and like eejits they took the bait and had poor McHale send off.

How I laughed :)

I raised this as a growing concern on the 11-a-side forum. It is a growing trend in Gaelic which needs to be stamped out. I am not aware of a rule that the refs can use to card a player for faining injury or diving. Something i think that powers that B will need to look into IMO. Both teams were at it and to be fair you see it most weeks these days. This needs to be stamped out a.s.a.p or will get out of control.

I just looked up the rule book on gaa.ie on feigning and diving and it seems that yes a referee can issue a card to a player who feigns an injury or a foul. Its a pity that referees do not, and have not put this much underused rule into effect.

The feigning of injury is a disgrace and shows a total lack of sportsmanship. It has crept in and whether its Mayo or any county it needs to be acted on. How can any self respecting player actually fall down like a statue when pushed slightly? It reminds me of the Clermont rugby man mountain who fell like the tonne of bricks when 'touched' by Leo Cullen!

The second point from the Cork Mayo game is the actions of Noel O'Leary in the first half when he responded to a clearly injured player. This reminds me of the Clare hurler who also 'manhandled' a Kilkenny player in a similar situation last week. This sort of behaviour also does nothing for our games.

pplocal, so you named the same person again and made a vague reference to aidan o'shea and a match, no specific incident just a match. Pretty endemic alright.

festinog, isnt that what being a galway fan is all about?

Peace_On, what does that make kerry?
