AISF Mayo v Dublin

[AZOffaly]

I dont think theres anything in that other than trying to break free or highlight he is being held by flailing around. Hit him with the elbow but it wasnt an elbow drawn back like you typically see when a lad is trying to do damage.

[INDIANA]

As a neutral I think O'Connor should be done for that. He struck and caused serious injury je definitely has a case to answer!!

Along with McMahon and Cooper who should both be banned for their respective transgressions.

As mentioned on the other thread Connolly is a fantastic footballer but as long as he engages in that nonsense it will stop him being one of the greats.

He cannot be aware of where O Carrolls head is as he's trying to break free from the tackle. That can't be a deliberate strike with any intent.

11 stitches? Do you know how much force is required for someone to get 11 stitches?

He hasn't a leg to stand on and I can guarantee you it's going to be pursued.

I've no issue with Mc Mahon getting a ban. Cooper as well  no excuse was an awful tackle.

If Diarmuid gets banned - fair enough I still mantain Keegan did nothing except try to get him sent off but Diarmuid raised his fists.

However I want fair play and O Connor's inter county season should be finished tonight.

Nothing horrendous about that. Disappointing actually, given the suspense beforehand.

He was clearly waving at the umpires and caught him accidentally.

I don't think that's correct but I agree that it was accidental

Actually having watched it a few more times I reckon he may well have a case to answer

Definitely wasn't accidental as you can see him change his body movement to swing his left arm. The Dublin player was hanging off him, fouling him, and he swung back in frustration. Looked a forceful blow, super dangerous to the head but still unlikely to get done for that.

Its pretty clear it was accidental.

I think youre a mile off base here. It may be pursued but i will be shocked if coc is banned.

Fair play.. i'm not sure you understand the term.

O Connor incident is definitely not a red card offence. It's unfortunate for O'Carroll that he suffered a nasty cut and missed most of the match but that shouldn't deter from the fact that O' Connor was simply trying to shake him off after being pulled and mauled.

O Carrolls skin must be made of papyrus or some other delicate material-how in gods name would be need 11 stitches after that "hit"

[Bensars]

No chance will o Connor be done for that.

It would make life a lot easier for Dublin, granted.
Not a hope. A player trying to escape being held by a defender at least 50 yds from the play.No direct movement of player towards ROC

No chance. He'll be playing.

Prepare to be shocked. Because if they pursue Mc Mahon based on video evidence. COC goose is cooked.

That's what i'm hearing and in fairness I'm the one who said the Sunday Game would show the COC incident.

You never know Diarmuid may get off and then COC will get away with it 

You'd be amazed how these things can all work out.

You can't throw a fist back at that height and not expect to do damage!! He has to be in trouble for that!!

Better off not getting involved when you've no idea what's going on behind the scenes.

But intelligence was never your strong point.

11 stitches! 11 stitches ffs!

[Westside]

O'Connor was raising his hands and roaring at the umpires to watch what was happening. He'd hardly risk an intentional elbow while doing that. Connolly held someone down on the ground and punched them intentionally in the face. The two incidents are worlds apart. O'Connor would be hard done by to miss the replay and final over that.
