Can we now expect 40 pages on Brian Cody's altercation with the linesman?
I expect not.
Should definitely get a ban, ridiculous if he doesn't
You'll notice there's not 40 pages on comerford, mcgeeney or Davy either

Say something provocative and Kilkevan might bite. Don't mention the butt of the hurl into the faceguard.
Maybe get Bomber Destro in for a bit of volume.
If you can link it to the Roscommon footballers Syferus might join in.

One of the main reasons for this is there is only minor interest in Hurling on this forum. People on here watch the game but most don't (really) care!
Players like Diarmuid get picked on for misdemeanors on the field of play because they just get a bad name from repetitively doing the wrong thing.
Then there's people who get picked on off the field of play like Lee Keegan. Last years orchestrated media blackening by the DUBLIN media has to be one of the most malicious campaigns against a player by multiple Dublin media journalists, former players and analysists. You as a collective threw a lot of stones and now you expect respect when the shoe is on the other foot!
The average Dublin fan's persecution complex is getting dangerously close to Tyrone-like levels of paranoia.
What did he do? Any video?

Childish comment as usual.
Cody's incident was nothing like Connolly's. First of all, the fourth official put his hands on Cody first, secondly Cody wasn't seeking out the fourth official, lastly Cody touched but didn't shove him.

Bullcrap - Cody touched the official and the rule says if you do you get a suspension. I'm not saying I like the rule but no point making them if you only enforce them in certain situations or to certain people.
Sure forget the rules, bully officials, Croke park is to blame for the lack of respect for match officials right from grass roots. Change rules to 1 game bans, sent of in league doesn't effect championship, appeal hearing getting overturned over something ridiculous, the list goes on and on, with the outcome being all through Ireland that instead of match officials commanding respect they are actually the dirt on the souls of everyone, managers, players, supporters even water carriers run onto field giving their opinions to referees, if the ref deals with it he's only making a fool of himself.

The official touched Cody first. What is Cody to do if the fourth official puts his arm across him? The law of the land would be on Cody's side, and no matter how big the GAA thinks it is it can't trump that.
Anyway, ban him for 12 weeks, 24 even, we're gone anyway so makes no difference.
Turns out the chip on Jim Gavins shoulder is infectious.

I think its gas the way so many of the Mayo lads blame Paul Curran, etc. for Keegan pulling down Connolly in a blatant black card offence, thus probably costing them an All Ireland victory!
Like Lee would never have thought of doing the likes of that but for the media!

Indeed. Rochford doesn't have any responsibility for picking a goalkeeper with a history of cracking in big matches. Best one yet is RTE getting Mossy Quinn on the Sunday game because he works for DCB and they want to show Jim Gavin they are soooooooooo sorry. He writes for he Irish Examiner and regularly appears on OTB so it's not that uncommon for him.

What's done is done, but poor Maurice Deegan at the time was walking around aimlessly at the time. Next thing he gives Keegan the black. I think that's what's sticking in many Mayo people's craw, mine included. Also the fact that Connolly remonstrated aggressively with the ref and escaped sanction annoyed me.
As regards the title of the thread, the hypocrisy of the GAA is truly revealed. Kilkenny are gone however so it probably is a case of out of sight, out of mind.
Where are the usual suspects condemning this thread as whataboutery?
I'm actually with Kilkevan on this one. I only saw the incident last night for the first time and I was a bit surprised when I saw it. I was expecting something similar to the Connolly incident but it's nothing like it. If anything the 4th official instigated the contact and was trying to prevent Cody walking towards McGrath (I think it was). There was no aggression directed towards the official, unlike Connolly. I think Cody should have been more careful but I'd be against a suspension in this instance.

you're missing the bit about Keegan pulling down Connolly. It was 100% Keegan's decision!
Deegan didn't just whisk out the black card on a whim. He had no choice. A blatant and deliberate pulldown.
The fact that it even crosses the mind of Mayo fans that this is Paul Curran's (or someone like him) fault is utterly ridiculous.
Who's fault was Donal Vaughan's black card at the weekend?
Keegan's wasn't a black card IMO, he had him wrapped up alright but as soon as he realised they were falling to the ground he released him, therefore he wasn't dragged down to the ground. Vaughan's was a stone wall black, no debate there.
Come on lads - only 38 pages to go. Where's all the righteous indignation? Surely the match officials must be protected and letter of the law must be upheld at all times? Has Pat Spillane commented?

Honestly think the Dubs need to get over this Connolly thing. It's actually a blessing in disguise and unlike most counties ye have plenty of quality players to cover off the loss of Connolly. Less said the better and then spring him from the bench with 20 minutes to go in a semi final.

As for Cody. Got in an altercation with an official on the sideline and put his hands on him. Deserves a ban. His previous record should not come into it

Not sure I agree with that.
Cody was certainly in foul form with the Waterford sideline and was about to transgress his area ( I never knew such a thing existed in GAA) when the fourth official stepped across and ushered Cody backwards. Yes there was contact, moreso by the fourth official and Cody stopped in his tracks once the arms went out. There was no aggression at all from Cody towards the fourth official. If Cody had of barged on regardless then yes, 12 weeks would have been warranted.
Entirely different to Connolly's actions as his aggression was directed to an official.
Awful whingers altogether.

Pretty much, yeah. The Man City of the GAA are a marketing ploy, created by Croke Park. Now, I'm not so sure that they have an exit plan. They've created a monster that could win 6, 7 in a row. Whoopdeedoo. You've bought every single one of them, with central funds.
The Dubs are light years ahead of the rest of the country and it's all sponsored by Croker.

youre not entirely wrong. However, the rule doesn't mention aggression
