Pat may have had to comment but could barely contain his glee. Gavin has gone completely over the top but the notion that Spillane is some innocent neutral commentator is fairly laughable. Brollys imagining of how Spillane would have spun it if it was Colm Cooper in the dock shows how his choice of analysis set the tone.

It was a major talking point.
This is the key point.
He supports drug cheats.

In which game? Pat doesnât set the questions, he answers them.
Surely he should worry about having his own in order before castigating others.
He was a paid analyst for the Dublin Carlow game. But bizarre if he staryed talking about Kerry playersâŚnot sure what youâre on about.
Thereâs no imagining involved. Cooper committed the exact same âoffenceâ as Connolly and Spillane stayed silent.

Whataboutery is important in terms of balance.
Of course he didnât. But then neither did Connolly.
The rule is very clear - Cooper committed the exact same âoffenceâ Connolly is supposed to have committed.
You either apply the rule across the board or you do away with the rule because itâs clearly i) unworkable and ii) a nonsense.
The rule is clearly not applied across the board or anything like it. In this case an RTE pundit has used his platform to try and get a suspension imposed on a key player from the team which has consistently beaten his county in the championship, being completely selective in his highlighting of the sort of nothing incident that happens very often in matches.
If the rule is not applied across the board, it shouldnât be applied at all because itâs far too open to this sort of selective media targetting, and a new rule should be drawn up.

Philly McMahon was banned for the Carlow match for giving a referee lip in the league final. Cluxton was booked in the same match for the same thing
How come this rule isnât applied consistently?

Connolly incident aside, do you think the agendas and county backgrounds of individual Sunday Games panellists influences their contributions?
-
Do you think the Sunday Game influences the disciplinary proceedings of the GAA and/or the referring of the games themselves?
