I donāt know how people are getting at him trying to break his fingers from that video.

I certainly donāt think thereās enough to prove anything - but it looks fairly clear to me that thatās what he was at.

What do you think he was doing? Checking for dirt underneath his fingernails??

All that can be seen there is McGee grabbing his arm and the Kerry player punching him twice, itās not in any way conclusive on that footage so itās some jump to conclusion to say he was trying to break his fingers.

Itās impossible to make out anything more there than McGee holding his arm in that clip. If thereās better or more conclusive footage up there then post it up by all means.
Not my job fella. For what itās worth I doubt heād have actually broken yer manās fingers, just giving him a twist to get a rise out of him. Which worked.
From the footage posted up, it is impossible to make that out. People are jumping to some conclusions that he was trying to break his fingers.
The only thing we can see is a Kerry player land two punches on McGee.
That is indeed the conclusion I reached after watching it. This isnāt a courtroom horse, Iām not looking to prove a case. If you think all he was doing was holding his arm, well then, I suppose thatās an opinion too

You think McGee deliberately attempted to break an opponentās fingers?
Surely that Kerry player is looking at a long ban. Canāt be taking the law into your own hands like that. Throw a few sky digs then pretend your finger is hurt, what a fucking coward.
I refer you to my earlier post, where I said he might have given his fingers a twist. The ābreak his fingersā claim is a bit hysterical.
Yes.
The break his fingers thing is hysteric, itās not really much different to when a lad deliberately treads of someoneās toes to get a rise, or gives a sneaky dig in the back or ribs, or a playful cusp of the genitals, or any sort of general antagonism that goes on.
Of course McGee provoked him but itās mass hysteria, if the foot was on the other shoe I wonder would the same deal be made of it.
Extremely impressive. A new style seems to be emerging. To get around sweepers and the like.
Word is they are having huge competition for places in training.
Itās in Croke Park where Kerry will find it tougher against running teams, there is a big absence of pace in their team around the middle of the field.
There might not be as much made of it now that Kerry won alright. I didnāt see the league highlights programme, was it brought up by the panel?
Football is coming up next.
I think he didnāt give a shite really whether he did or he didnāt. Just the dirty tricks that go on in the modern game. I doubt thereāll be anything done against him anyway. Fitz got a deserved red card and McGee got his nose rightly smashed in. Street justice dealt out.

McGee took one for the team. Kerry as usual are well able to dish it out but not able to take much back.
Bollox. Well able to give and take
Iām on your side here mate. Thatās the modern game, McGee gave it out, got it back. Matter dealt with. The sort of league game you love to see. Proper feisty. Those Donegal chaps will have learnt a lot today.
