clondalkindub, if he gouged someone in the eye then he doesnt deserve to play in the final. Say what you want about proving it but that is the bottom line. Would you not agree?

Not to the extremes some would have you believe, but in the same way some continental soccer teams dive more, some county gaa teams carry out more professional fouls. The argument that every team is exactly the same isnt fully accurate either.


No I completely disagree with that. Nothing is exactly the same I accept but reasonably similar. I would see very little difference in how much Mayo and Tyrone foul tactically but the public perception due to bias/history etc is very different. Every team to all intents and purposes is as guilty as every other. Your bias is that in general that Dublin, Tyrone and Donegal are usually responsible for the ills of the game. My bias is that certain counties like Mayo and Kerry are just as responsible but get overlooked for historical reasons or whatever.
