Seriously lack of understanding of momentum. Had Keaney moved fast enough to land elsewhere then he could have injured himself.
I find it hard to see what Keaney could have done and this wouldnât have even merited comment 10 years ago. More soccerization.
Speaking of which, Brian Hurleyâs dramatic fall after a touch to the face from Keith Higgins was embarrassing and disappointing yesterday.
My comment on âformâ from Keaney is based on a few different anecdotes Iâve heard about him on and off the pitch, a complete scumbag from what Iâve heard. Maybe someone closer to dublin hurling can confirm or deny, @Bisto[/USER], [USER=2272]@TheUlteriorMotive?
In any event, I agree it would have been difficult for him to land anywhere else. But it looks to me like he took the opportunity to drive down with as much force as possible, he took full advantage of an opportunity for a cheap shot.

throw up your anecdotes for the craic
in slow motion it looks bad but keaney didnt jump and land in slow motion, he did so in real time where it looks almost impossible for him to do anything other than what he did.
judge it on the real time clip only.
id give him a tentative pass on this one also but im open to changing my mind when @glasagusban s anecdotes are made public
I think Keaney is getting a bad rap here. Not much else he could have done in the circumstances. Of course Limerick donât exactly have a tradition of forgive and forget in these matters.
He was part of Pillar Caffreyâs crew, one of the most disliked teams in the history of the GAA. Pointing to the scoreboard when they were hammering teams etc. Keaney himself is find of dishing out the verbals to his opponents from what Iâve heardâŚ
Excellent hurler in fairness. That was the act of a tramp though. Whether the lad he stood on is an 18 year old lad making his debut or a 35 year old veteran makes no difference. Clear as day he stamps on the player. Easily avoidable if he had so wanted. A cheap shot. Would say the same if the roles were reversed.
Reminds me of the time Gary Kirbyâs finger got broken.
Donât think he could have changed stride there give the position of his left leg, bar throwing himself face-first into the ground. Marty is acting the cunt on commentary there.
