The Keegan one can be debated, but the consensus before this had been that you has to drag a player all the way to the deck to be black carded. Ironically Dublin were one of the first teams to adopt the drag and release tackle to avoid getting black carded. They spent a lot of time working on this during training at the time.

The lack of consistency was when Connolly commited a similar round the neck challenge and escaped sanction. Deegan would have reduced Dublin to 14 men had he produced a card of any colour, since Connolly was already on a yellow. Underneath Hill 16 I think he bottled it. The.same goes for Mayo's penalty shout.

Did he also bottle sending Docherty off for taking Cooper out after the goal?

You're not allowed ask those questions

Exactly, I tell you if it was the other way around or Connolly did that there would be blue murder. People see what they want to see, of course the sour grapers will blame the ref, but look back at it again, twice. I suppose the sour grapers and begrudgers would say the ref help Dublin win 4 AIs in 6 years, 4 national leagues and 6 Leinsters too.

Dublin, greatest team ever to play the game, all good guys too, hard luck Mayo, I cant imagine the pain of it.

Club championship next weekend so no rest.

Too all other begrudgers on this site and elsewhere, enjoy the winter!

Gents, im signing off for the weekend, just want to congratulate Mayo and say to all the Mayo lads enjoy the match and enjoy the celebrations.

Destroys another few narratives....

The Feigners.  come on lads, lets stop all this nonsense. 

all in the past. This new chapter for Mayo. Mayo to win by 7 .dubs peaked in league. Andy Moran and Cillian to get least at least 3 goals between them.Aidan O'Shea to deliver a man of match performance and destroy McMahon and co. Will be rough night in Castlebar sunday. Nice to see a Roscommon man on mayo team lifting sam too 

Sounds good, should be a great victory party and your right, Dubs are finished.

The Dubs are rattled its Mayo year.

Yeah terrified. This is Mayo's tenth attempt in league and championship to beat Jim Gavins Dublin, win or lose on Saturday it will still be the decade of the Dubs.

Enjoy the game.

Yeah all the Mayo blow in fans, where were all the Mayo fans v Tipp.

The GAA desperate for Mayo to win this, desperate, the country is desperate.

Anyway, I have my tickets, enjoy the game lads.

Bejaysus, you must have had some night. last night!
Head must be a bit sore right now.
Have you add idea how much it costs fans in Mayo to come to Dublin for a game?
Especially when you throw in the missus and a couple of kids.
The average Dub wouldn't spend as much in a year and that includes the obligatory stop off at Meagher's pub in Fairview first, before arriving late and stumbling up the steps to The Hill.
Of course the rest of the civilised world (including Roscommon) are desperate for a Mayo win.
Why wouldn't they when yiz are trying to pass yizzer selves of as being no different to any other county, even though Dublin's population is ten times that of Mayo!
G'wan, get a carton of cold milk and down the hatch with it.
Best cure for a hangover there is.

Probably a difference of say E50  petrol expenses Larnaparka I would say. Maybe an additional E10 on top for parking.


Ticket prices the same for everyone as are the price of a pint or cost of a meal if you so choose. Packed lunch would reduce the cost alot.

Exactly, its not a trek to outer Mongolia which they make it out to be.

Keep hearing the population factor, please stop telling people to live in the capital and live somewhere else yeah, also Dublin is full of Mayo, lots of flags around the place, send them home will we.

People need to show more cop on and get on more.

Yeah all the Mayo blow in fans, where were all the Mayo fans v Tipp.

Word on the street is all extra tickets from the minors went to Mayo, GAA want them to win big time.

Never mind the papers or that rubbish you read on social media, Ask Comier or Cavanagh about Keegan, he has form for it, prevents the best players on each team by pulling, dragging, fouling, gets away with murder. But I understand why he does it and I would do the same every time. It is part of the game.

Yeah yeah I know the Dubs are no angels, Philly Mac this, Duirmo that, Cooper this.

Ask Comer about it. Are you for real. Have you asked Comer about it and what did he say.

Oh and here is the incident just so you can see iy and not be repeating shite your reading on Hill 16 Army

I am not watching that link. Could be animal farm fun for all I know.

What are you on about , don't read social media rubbish (Hill 16 army or Mayo GAA pages are just as bad, its what gives GAA and fans a bad name) , I make up my own opinion and what I saw sitting in the canal end I think with about 10 to 15 min gone Connolly was dragged to the ground off the ball in front of the ref and it was play on. Don't get me wrong, il like Lee keegan and great player but would you not admit he gets away with a lot no? Just say you were not a Mayo fan what would you think?

Cue comparisons to other players, we are talking about Lee (The refs angel) Keegan here.

Just say you were not a Dublin fan and read back what you just posted and have been posting for the last three weeks , what would you think?

I think Lee Keegan gets away with murder by the refs.

I think Philly Mc gets away with murder too by the refs.

Its how cute you go about getting away with murder that counts.

I think James Mc black card was the harshest black card in the history of the black card and a contributing factor is Mayo are soft or feign a lot.

Look I don't want it turn into Hoganstand forum or as you say Facebook page 101.

Banner chiefs and provincial council top-brass are close to striking a deal that will see the latter pump €½m in funding towards the two extensive projects currently being undertaken by Clare GAA.

The allocation by Munster Council is part of their five-year budgetary framework unveiled in January.

The centre of excellence, which will include four floodlit pitches, dressing rooms, a gym and catering facilities, is expected to be completed by the end of this year. The total cost is estimated at just over €4m.


The €2.3m redevelopment of the county's flagship venue, meanwhile, has been partially stalled due to the presence of the invasive Japanese knotweed which is delaying the construction of a 200-space car park behind the town end goal.

Its like a forum of Ewan McKenna's. Dublin have advantages yes, they always had advantages.

Say what you will but to me you are disrespecting the Dublin GAA community disrespecting the thousands of volunteers, many many form the country, the visionaries, the grassroots,  the clubs, the club players. Dublin are the same as any other county in that the GAA is grassroots and club first, to your surprise we actually don't have a factory that makes footballers, as stated before a lot of the current squad fathers played for Dublin which created natural ability and with a coach like Gavin the worlds is yours.

Its seems maybe your gripe should be with the GAA, not Dublin.

And this team is an exceptional team and wont be around forever. A lot of players going past their peak.

None of this was a problem when Dublin were not winning and getting beaten by Tyrone (7 million British tax payer money for centre of excellence) or Kerry ( sponsored by a Billionaire Euro Company , one of the biggest is Europe and the world) .

Id advise you all to spend a few days in Dublin travelling around different clubs in different areas to see what is like.

Nice of you to spout blatant lies and inaccuracies to support your argument.

I corrected the Tyrone point in a later post, I was wrong and apologise, The majority was paid for by Tyrone with " loans " from Croke Park, but you've missed the point.
