Guys I hate to see this escalating into an urban/rural spat, the Connollyites referring to rural dwellers in a derogatory manner is most unseemly.
When all is said and done whatâs a muldoon only a dublin manâs father.
Correct. Gavin and Dermo both of pedigree Clare stock.
Diarmuid also has KK in him
That didnât happen
I think the mad part is from Liscannor if his cousins are anything to go by
That gene concoction was an accident waiting to happen so
This is the second time the St. Vincentâs man has escaped censure despite being shown the line in an All-Ireland semi-final.

Philly McMahon is set to line out for Dublin in Saturdayâs All-Ireland semi-final replay despite headbutt claims made by Mayoâs Aidan OâShea.
The Dublin County Board appears certain to request a hearing in a bid to clear Diarmuid Connolly to play after he was issued with a straight red card late on after an altercation with Mayoâs Lee Keegan.
Dublin GAA are Denis OâBrienesque in terms of litigation. That was just one match.
Dublin are also expected to try and have black cards issued to midfield duo Michael Darragh Macauley and Denis Bastick overturned.
When they refused to retrospectively ban for an eye gouge you knew the Dubs could do as they wanted.
Theyâre the best team by a mile so there shouldnât be a need for that carry on. Itâs only a couple of them in fairness. Surprised with Gavin though , didnât think he was the type that would condone it. Caffrey actively encouraged it but no surprise considering his occupation.
Itâs practically impossible to take the tramp out of a person, itâs not helped when the gurrier of a manager encourages the carryon
The man telling it like it is
Galway manager backs Gavin stance
28 June 2017
Galway manager Kevin Walsh reckons Jim Gavin was â100 per centâ right to refuse to conduct broadcast interviews after Dublinâs Leinster semi-final win, and hit out at personal attacks on players via âtrial by television juryâ.
Annoyed by the coverage that Diarmuid Connolly received in the aftermath of Dublinâs win over Carlow and Connollyâs subsequent 12-week ban for pushing an assistant referee, Gavin reignited the row by declining the customary television and radio interviews afterwards.
And although Walsh says he might not have taken a similar stance, he thinks Gavin was right to back his player who come under attack by âamateur journalistsâ.
âHe is one 100 per cent right to protect his players. There are places for those things to be dealt with, whether it is a yellow card or a black card or whatever. Not trial by television jury. I believe he is right in what he is saying to protect his player,â said Walsh.
âIt is up to himself to decide what type of stance he takes. Iâm not saying thatâs the stance that I would be taking but, at the same time, he is right to protect his players.
âThat allows the amateur journalists, if you like, to have another bounce and whack out stuff for another few weeks. To be honest, the less I say the better. Thatâs why I donât say too much, because Iâm not going to be out there making headlines for people who want headlines.â
Walsh has history in this discussion and was annoyed by the criticism he received on The Sunday Game from former Sligo player Eamonn OâHara shortly before Walshâs stint as manager of Sligo came to an end in 2013.
Following on from Sligoâs championship loss in London, OâHara called for Walsh to step down from the role and criticised his training methods. Afterwards Walsh labeled OâHaraâs critique as âunbalancedâ and âunfairâ.
And while he declined to comment on that specific row with OâHara, he urged analysts to remember the amateur player behind the jerseys before they launch âpersonal attacksâ.
âIâm not even going to comment on my own situation because I am not going to play tennis with someone who wants to play a game of tennis. Thatâs why I wouldnât comment at the time and Iâm not going to say any more about it.
âBut, yeah, thereâs a person inside that jersey who is working really hard and while constructive analysis is absolutely perfect if somebody knew exactly the deep coaching and the deep things that would affect a team and were qualified to do that on television they would do it.
âAnd that would be good analysis. Itâs not about personal attacks. Thereâs rakes of room for good analysis that isnât being carried out. Maybe in the future that will happen.
âIâm not talking about myself; Iâm talking about players. Iâm here, Iâll have to take the flak that comes with it.
âI suppose even coming into Galway in the first place changing the style and different things to compete was probably tough. It was tough for nine months and Iâm sure I got plenty of slating for it because it takes time to develop.
âBut if you go after something you believe in and you know will work; you do that and you stand by it. If it fails, it fails. What Iâm saying here is the players inside the jersey that put their lives on hold needs to be given the respect because thereâs a person inside the jersey.â
Alan Brogan going back to his muldoon roots. Even @myboyblue favorite non All Ireland winning midfielder WheelieBin taking a muldoon stance on it (although he may have his Sunday Game cash turing his head)
I think itâs generally accepted that the Brogans despise Gavin.
Eamonn OâHara must have been dropped by The Sunday Game.
Will RTE drop Spillane ?
Will they fook . He has the country talking about the show . The next time himself and brolly are on together will boost ratings .
Looks like theyâve redeployed him
