At least two  of you were paying attention . You passed my test 

Must have been the  2017 semi then

    Dublin beat Tyrone by about 12 points in 2017 semi-final with Harte playing Mark Bradley alone up front... that's hardly Jim Gavin stinking the place out. Go again..

Maybe he did  , but I  distinctly remember Dublin piggy-in-the-middle'd  Tyrone to death that day. It was clinical piggy in the middle tactics , but my God , it  bored the  arse off me

If Jim Mc Guinness or Mickey Harte were on that revised rules panel you'd have a stronger point. At least Jim Gavin acknowledges the error of his ways 

[with Tyrone for 70 minutes in the 2018 semi.]

I find it ironic (hopefully that's the correct use, must  check with Alanis), that two of the  Rules committee were responsible for  two of the biggest stinkfests in GAA history. 

Fitzmaurice stunk the  place out with his negative  bore v Donegal in 2014. Jim Gavin 's Dublin team  played piggy in the middle  with Tyrone for 70 minutes  in the 2018 semi.

What Semi? We played Monaghan in the 2018 Semi?

Did Dublin not play Tyrone in 2018 final?
2017 Mickey Harte stunk the place out leaving Mark Bradley up on his own. Dublin hammered them

Yep, Dublin beat us 2-17 to 1-14 in the Final.

In all seriousness, will Derry get out of this group?

Complete collapse in a year, and its not just the defeats, its the manner of them... a team on the other side of their peak.

Hopefully we get Tyrone in the preliminary QF and we can revisit this conversation!

Come in Agent Red Hand, mission accomplished! 

Derry folks, what's parking like around Celtic Park?

McNamee was a class act at that level. Tyrone were more solid when he togged out. Up there with McGarvey.

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.

What happened in moortown

"Match abandoned, 2 donaghmore men off concussed, just bad falls, no dirt."

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.

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

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

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.
