All-Ireland Senior Football Championship 2016 You Are What You Eat

Are you Off The Ball’s Joe Molloy?

Don’t think so cos he ran back to book the pair of them. Cononley getting a yellow was a joke. Only happened cos he black carded keegan earlier I think and the ref want to even it up a bit.

Even though it’s only the internet you’re a horrible, horrible collection of human cells.

FOAD you boring repetitive smelly fool of a clown.

Disgusting post

I’m liking this for the sheer hatred it oozes. We struggle sometimes to find new ways to insult one another.

You may dislike me but I simply command respect and attention.

Your Mayo analysis were that the keeper was a bombscare and COC was a battler.

It was like you scripted the fame the way things panned out

So in the incident where Connolly obstructs and knocks Vaughan to the ground, you think Vaughan’s trailing leg which catches Connolly is a blatant black, but the yellow to Connolly is a joke and was only given to even things up?

Are you a muldoon in disguise?

Watched first half just now.

Villain o’Connor’s assault on cooper after the goal should have a red.

Lee keegan should have yellow not black. Connolly made the most of it.

Small’s yellow before ht was fair. VOC was more at fault and small was trying to get free.

Coopers black was very harsh. Very little contact and mayo player made the most of it.

Mccarthy deserved yellow for the charge on Vaughan.

I didn’t say he shoukd have gone to jail. I said he should have had a criminal conviction, exactly like you or I would.

He wishes

Jason Doherty crashed into Cooper. Yellow would have been fair enough there.

@Nembo_Kid never said Cillian O Connor was a bottler as he was at pains to point out two weeks ago

I said he was shit and his ability to influence the game over the course of 70 mins is negligible. Needless to say I have had the last laugh at those who sought to magnify a single incident of the game a fortnight ago.

I was just clarifying that you never said he was a bottler

I think you can certainly make a case that he deliberately collided with Connolly to take him out of the movement of play.

You could argue that every piece of physical contact is a collision in that case. The deliberate collision black card offence “after a player has played the ball away” was specifically introduced to outlaw body checks on a player when he’s given a pass and is going for the next one. This was Keegan grabbing onto Connolly from behind with Connolly sliding onto his knees as the whistle was blown. It wasn’t anything approaching a black card in my opinion. The referee made a gesture after showing the black card which seemed to indicate he was giving it for a deliberate pull down of an opponent and that never happened either. It was a cynical foul to stop him bearing down on goal but it wasn’t a black card under the rules.

The black card rule is shite as it only prohibits a few specific examples of “cynical play” - deliberate pull down, deliberate trip, deliberate collision - but other cynical offences like jersey pulling or grabbing a player around the neck or shoulder aren’t covered.

Fair enough. I thought your main point was that someone from somewhere else would have been done for it.

He would. So would you or I. It’s not a Dublin thing in truth, it is a countrywide local thing, if you see what I mean.

Did fancy the Dubs but it’s a bit of a downer seeing how close it was.

Think the yap about the black card is way overblown. Pat Spillane was saying how the rule is a joke at half-time, but for my money all the big calls were right (other than maybe John Small, but that one is very hard to call).

Mayo still lack forwards or even just a forward, but the Dubs definitely aren’t unbeatable for next year. They’ve legs for days but a lot of doubt about their forwards too. Kerry’s underage success’ll surely breath new life into them.
