Yes BennyHarp, another thread on the ruination of the game!

At least he didn't call us fancy dans, that would really have hurt. Also, who is Eoin Brannigan?

Headline should read more like this:

Journalist struggling for relevance attempts to make up a sensationalist article in search of relevance

Ewan McKenna has taken a fair shot at the gamesmanship of Galway and points to Paddy Tally as a factor in changing the nature of Galway's game.

The nature of Galway's game has changed since Kevin Walsh became manager, Tally only fine tuned things this year. The watershed moment for their county board was that heavy 2013 defeat to Mayo.

McKenna hates everything, everything is shite, hates life, hates himself. A nothing journalist, a cod, a fool.

I thought it a good article and reflected my exact thoughts about the Flynn sending off and also about the red card for Fintan Kelly in Monaghan's league game. At the time I thought it was farcical that the high tackle combined with a late deliberate hit on Kelly was ignored but focus went on Kelly's (alleged) retaliation which was enhanced by some Galway player in apparent agony on the turf.
In both those examples the refs had seen everything and chose their actions with deliberation.  There's a blatant dysfunction with refereeing of such incidents and Galway are exploiting it to some effect.

There was nothing alleged about it, Kelly kicked Gary O'Donnell and deserved his red.

Literally all but maybe two people don't agree with you.

Lord Linnane of Ballinderreen  said years ago that you win nothing without a few tinkers. Is any of this stuff new? Kilkenny and Mayo recently had extensive ball winning skills.

It must be tiring trailer carrying around that chip on your shoulder all the time.

He does have a point though that if  officials see 2 lads pulling out of each other they almost always take the easy out way out and hand out 2 yellow cards. A lot of the time it's players trying to make a run, being held and they end up in tussle through no fault of their own. It's way too easy for a player to get his marker booked in the GAA.

Who is Declan McCurry?
