Yep!

Is this the beginning of the end?

It sort of feels like it............ :-\

Yep, seems like there's been a serious (cost saving ?) downgrade, and steps now to apply plasters!

The board can no longer handle the fada it seems, for shame!  ;)

How come Mary McAleese says she's a Co Down woman. I thought she was from North Belfast which is Co Antrim

Though she was from Ardoyne?

Originally, yes, but moved to south Down early on.

Even if u fairly sure they guilty, but u job as the defence is to get them off or as liitle sentence as possible. So where in turn would the justice be there. I just couldn't do it.

As I understand it, legal counsel never personally make that judgement, or at least never allow themselves to make that judgement -- they'll deal with the evidence as they can determine it, in relation to the individual that they are defending, or prosecuting.

It's a job, and your job as counsel is to argue the case on behalf on the individual you are representing, nothing more, nothing less.

All square with Kerry 4-4 in Championship head-to-heads: 86, 2015, 2019 & 2023, though they have the 3rd round Qualifier win in 2012 too.

Yeah but 50% of Monaghan don't run around with a sash on...

You have to remember that Armagh is a small County but is 50% Unionist too

Not quite 50% unionist these days, and diminishing...  ;)

I never said McCarthy's fouls were all red card offences.

Okay lets flip it. Lets say Kerry committed the fouls McCarthy & Costello did. Would Gough had come to the same decisions?  Not a chance!

Darragh Ó Sé, in his post-match column, is nowhere near as sore as you are in respect of the refereeing performance, in that he (correctly) states that Dublin established the (thus far and no further) line with Gough early on, and weren't afraid to max it out.

It's entirely within Dublin's rights to push the line and try to max it out.

However it was David Gough's job to establish the line in accordance with the rules of the game & apply them fairly &  consistently to both.

I'm not one bit sore. I made a point about his performance and was criticised by a current Referee on here who admittedly hadn't seen the game properly or the incidents at his time of posting.

Let me rephrase: I don't see anyone as exercised as yourself about Gough's performance, including the Kerry contingent -- what's really your beef? 

This is coming from a Tír Eoghain buachaill, whom Gough has fairly recently been ridiculous in his dealings with IMHO, but credit where it's due.

This is why you're talking crap on the GAA board and Dessie is winning all Irelands ffs!

Can't come back from that, in fairness.  ;)

Can't understand what they didn't man mark Fenton, Barry always on top of him, previous. Mannion got alot of room leading to easy scores.

There was too much going on elsewhere -- that's what happens with better teams.

'Twas no spectacle for the neutral, but the Dubs won't care for that.

They (the Dubs) have done the necessary, and that Kerry team have proved that they're really nothing special.  Sin é, no All-Irelands-in-a-row to be dispensed today.
