Before TSG. This is all moot.
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 whatās a muldoon only a dublin manās father.

Diarmuid also has KK in him
That didnāt 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. Vincentās 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 Saturdayās All-Ireland semi-final replay despite headbutt claims made by Mayoās Aidan OāShea.
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 Mayoās Lee Keegan.
Dublin GAA are Denis OāBrienesque 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.

Theyāre the best team by a mile so there shouldnāt be a need for that carry on. Itās only a couple of them in fairness. Surprised with Gavin though , didnāt think he was the type that would condone it. Caffrey actively encouraged it but no surprise considering his occupation.
Itās practically impossible to take the tramp out of a person, itās not helped when the gurrier of a manager encourages the carryon

Galway manager backs Gavin stance
28 June 2017
Galway manager Kevin Walsh reckons Jim Gavin was ā100 per centā right to refuse to conduct broadcast interviews after Dublinās Leinster semi-final win, and hit out at personal attacks on players via ātrial by television juryā.
Annoyed by the coverage that Diarmuid Connolly received in the aftermath of Dublinās win over Carlow and Connollyās 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 āamateur journalistsā.
āHe 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,ā said Walsh.
āIt is up to himself to decide what type of stance he takes. Iām not saying thatās the stance that I would be taking but, at the same time, he is right to protect his players.
āThat 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. Thatās why I donāt say too much, because Iām not going to be out there making headlines for people who want headlines.ā
Walsh has history in this discussion and was annoyed by the criticism he received on The Sunday Game from former Sligo player Eamonn OāHara shortly before Walshās stint as manager of Sligo came to an end in 2013.
Following on from Sligoās championship loss in London, OāHara called for Walsh to step down from the role and criticised his training methods. Afterwards Walsh labeled OāHaraās critique as āunbalancedā and āunfairā.
And while he declined to comment on that specific row with OāHara, he urged analysts to remember the amateur player behind the jerseys before they launch āpersonal attacksā.
āIām 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. Thatās why I wouldnāt comment at the time and Iām not going to say any more about it.
āBut, yeah, thereās 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.
āAnd that would be good analysis. Itās not about personal attacks. Thereās rakes of room for good analysis that isnāt being carried out. Maybe in the future that will happen.
āIām not talking about myself; Iām talking about players. Iām here, Iāll have to take the flak that comes with it.
āI 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 Iām sure I got plenty of slating for it because it takes time to develop.
āBut 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 Iām saying here is the players inside the jersey that put their lives on hold needs to be given the respect because thereās a person inside the jersey.ā
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 itās generally accepted that the Brogans despise Gavin.
Eamonn OāHara 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 .
