We need to talk about Diarmuid

[Syferus]

Victory for common sense.

[Il Bomber Destro]

It won't stick.

[mayoaremagic]

Victory for media pundits and those expressing faux outrage. The referee presumably had it in his report. Which begs the question why didn't the linesman tell the referee at the time and give him a red card or was he influenced by the reaction on the Sunday Game afterwards.

Pat Spillane must be wanked out of it after his performance sunday night on TSG

[Jinxy]

It won't stick.

How do we know it was even him?

[Cunny Funt]

The bookie odds on how many weeks Connolly will serve will be interesting.

If it's in ref report he saw so won't stick.

[Jinxy]

Anyway... he's not that kind of player.

[joemamas]

Been reported he got 12 weeks, won't be back until All Ireland semi-final. Echoes of Paul Galvin

Dublin barristers on the way

No sh*t, considering the lengths they went to two years ago.

Can the linesman not bring it to his attention after the game?

[ballinaman]

Quick question : if the ref had sent him off at the time, would he still be given a 12 week ban ?

Pat Spilanne compared Connolly incident to Evan Comerford. Yet again Spillane talking rubbish. Evan Comerford got a straight red during the game from Paddy Russell so he had no complaints. Why the linesman/ref didn't deal with straight away is beyond me.

It seems totally implausible that he would wait until after the match if he seen it at the time. Unless he is totally incompetent. Yet that is exactly what has happened. It's highly suspicious in terms of undue influence being exerted on match officials from outside sources in an attempt to make a suspension stick.

I don't think Spillane even knows who Evan Comerford is?

It's very similar to McGeeney. However I'd imagine Dublin's legal team is more expensive and better.

A lot of people in Down would be happy if Poacher the Carlow coach got 12 weeks as well !!!!
