It was a major talking point.

This is the key point.

He supports drug cheats.

In which game? Pat doesn’t 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 players…not sure what you’re on about.

There’s no imagining involved. Cooper committed the exact same “offence” as Connolly and Spillane stayed silent.

Cooper aggressively shoved a referee?

He committed the same infraction Connolly did.

Pushing a linesman?

Whataboutery is important in terms of balance.

Of course he didn’t. But then neither did Connolly.

The rule is very clear - Cooper committed the exact same “offence” Connolly is supposed to have committed.

You either apply the rule across the board or you do away with the rule because it’s 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 shouldn’t be applied at all because it’s 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 isn’t applied consistently?

  1. Connolly incident aside, do you think the agendas and county backgrounds of individual Sunday Games panellists influences their contributions?

  2. Do you think the Sunday Game influences the disciplinary proceedings of the GAA and/or the referring of the games themselves?

Colm Cooper isn’t that tramp of an ape Connolly

He broke the same rule as Connolly.

Lads here want pundits to go off on tangents and away from the game they are analyzing to talk about random events that happened months or years previously… You couldn’t make it up ffs
