Unsportsmanlike conduct in the GAA

[longballin]

The day of the cork player hitting Paidi O`Se a fair dig and O`Se lamping him and the ref telling both them to get up are long over, managers encourage players to dive, cheat, deceive the ref, anything to gain a advantage, supporters seems happy with this line as long as their team progress, playing with style, honour and within the rules are long gone in football. The reason there wasn't as much mouthing years ago was the real threat of some player tearing the head of you if u mouthing went south,

A O`Se, T  McCann,D  Connolly, McGee`s, actions in recent years bring the game into disrepute, but no-one cares as long as we winning, the amateur ethos of the GAA are long gone and the win at all cost by professionally paid managers is the biggest issue with the GAA.

Dublin fisting pumping, caused embarrassment for a few years to the proper manager took it to task and its now non-existent, the same problems with current players could be addressed by their managers if they wished it

Agree also, another point which wasn't made much of in the media that a player while on the ground was kicked in the head in the Dublin v Meath match, a very serious and dangerous incident and nothing said nor done about it, if it was a Tyrone or Dublin player who did it, there would be a Turkish style Coup at Croke park demanding lynchings.

Tackling is a mess. Reffing  is amateur. Refs overloaded. No TV input for big games that hinge on moments. Very like financial regulation.

sure they got rid of the best referee in Cormac Reilly. Always let game flow and applied common sense even mayo followers werent happy with performance in limerick. i thought he got the big calls right

I agree 100% but he reason i would suspect is Paudie would probably get 6 month ban for his actions now even though dinny allen started it . i suspect even paudi would go down now rather than risk that and dinny allen could feck off back to Cork hibs/united/celtic/bohemians /alberts/fordsons/FC or which ever Tax dodging team he came from
