Congratulations Dinny on a well deserved victory!
Hard luck Gerry. Did'nt keep your eye on the ball!!!!!!

As a neutral I would be tempted to go for €25 but not for €45. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Obviously only an interesting concept to you!!!!

No matter what happens........ its nice to see a bit of confusion from the kerryfolk.............long overdue!

the authorities have to be seen to show that it is totally unacceptable to interfere with a referee,  no matter what the circumstances.  they are making an example here,  who better than the captain of reigning all ireland champions.

But it is a whole lot more acceptable to run onto the ptich and sink your head in an opposing player ? This is where the GAA rules and disciplinary codes fall down.

Orangeman....get a grip ffs. Are you obsessed by all things Dublin??

I think its a bit ironic that at the heart of this is a Kerryman feeling injustice at being at the end of an off the ball "block"/third man tackle.

Clare!

[Misunderstood]

Paul Galvin leads the team out for the first time, its great to see him back, has had a bad spring with injuries and I would say his match fitness may be lacking, will need all his passion this year, but being captain may see him curb some of aggressiveness, but hopefully not too much.

What a leader 

The eejit gets sent off, slaps the referee's book out of his hand and gets into a shoving match with his own player. I can see a long suspension heading his way...

I think we might be heading for "Misunderstood".......the sequel!!!!

OK.......League form might not count for much but if it did.........the most important match results in Division 2 included.........

Westmeath beat Dublin in league final.
Westmeath beat Armagh by 5......Dublin got hammered by 9.
Westmeath beat Monaghan by 2 in Clones in a decider......Dublin drew at home.
Westmeath beat Meath by 5....Dubs win by 1.

No reason for us to be too confident. Should be interesting.......

What a joy!!!

Please note that the Armagh v Dublin clash will be an all-ticket event. Tickets will be distributed through the participating counties only. There will be no charge for these tickets.

Dubs v Armagh rescheduled for April 13

At least Pillar is not a snitch.

Statement Dublin County Committee

The Dublin County Committee have investigated an incident during the Dublin v Monaghan National Football League game last Sunday in Parnell Park and have identified the individual involved. The identity of the individual has been communicated to the Central Competitions Control Committee and disciplinary action has been taken. The Dublin County Board, team management and the individual involved have personally apologised to Thomas Freeman and regret that the incident ever occurred.

Well the DCB have followed due process and this incident will now be investigated by the CCCC.

P.S i look forward to this being dragged up after very game Dublin play this summer 

Hopefully this is the end of it and the apology and punishment handed out by DCB will be accepted by the Monaghan board. Don't need to bringing up this every other week. If the "headbutt" was as bad as many would wish, we'd still be trying to pull Tommy Freeman off your man in Parnell Park. He wouldn't be known for been easy going in incidents like this!!

Considering Tommy is on camera shaking hands with Dublin players immediately after the final whistle one would expect that the headbutt was not from the "Yosser Hughes" school of headbutting. Anyway hopefully this sorry saga is coming to an end and Monaghan are as vociferous in their acknowledgement of the apology as they were in their condemnation of the kids playing at half time, the stewarding, the Dublin supporters, Parnell Park, etc. etc.

Things to take from today were............
Monaghan are not as good as I thought they were. In fact they're a lot worse.
Syl Doyle is not a good or fair referee.
Shane Ryan should not be moved when he is being totally dominant at centre field.
Mark Vaughan should be substituted when he misses 4 scorable kicks, gets booked and ticked and loses the ball from play more than once. He was either injured or just having a mare generally. Overall I am a fan!
Dublin have more reason to be happy with today's proceedings than Monaghan.

There is a bit of talk about the Monaghan match from 2 years ago. If memory serves me correct this was played the week after the battle of Omagh and all the crap that followed in its wake. It would be hard to believe that Dubs minds that day were fully focused on the match and while Monaghan dished out a good hiding there might be a ligitimate excuse that minds were still more focused on issues further North.

Balls.  Dublin underestimated and were then outclassed.  What went on the week previous is of little relevance.

Of little relevance to Monaghan maybe but deffo of relevance to Dublin. Dont fool yourself.
Not fully focused more than underestimated I would be fairly sure.
