For such a great footballer aidan oshea really is a tr**p of a man,diving and crying looking cards and then trying to grab maher by the privates,a complete tool

Juvenile i know.

[a Donegal player who was down injured and required medical attention.]

All fans boo and jeer but the Dubs are definitely the worst. The most disgusting act came in the 2011 semi when they booed a Donegal player who was down injured and required medical attention.

Was that when Marty Boyle faked injury to get Dermot Connolly sent off?

Why should Tipperary be penalised for being good. Dublin has 8 times the population of Tipp, that's why it should be split.
Dub posters keep avoiding the point and introducing irrelevancies.

The most common argument for splitting Dublin is to do with competitiveness. The fear is that Dublin will become so good in football that no one else will have a chance. The reasons for becoming so good may be many and debatable.

At the end of the day people are still largely only worried about being too good for everybody else. But that same argument about being too good for everybody else should be applied to any county, not just Dublin, irrespective of how that dominance is arrived at.

i would not suggest that Tipperary are too good to be split though.

All of the Dublin team panel play in divisions 1 and 2. That should say a lot about our pick.

Jack McCaffrey and Cormac Costello both play in Division 3.

I'm not getting involved in the tit for tat nonsense but I was told a story by a guy recently that I wanted to check with some of the Dublin lads.

He's not one for bullshitting but he reckoned at least 90% of the Dublin lads are Full Time GAA players. I'd love to see the pen pics from yesterdays programme to see the actual occupations but he reckons the majority are students/teachers and that in the summer months they are full time in NADA where their S&C sessions are logged, all their food/supplements are supplied and all physio/rehab is done during the day and they have their field sessions in the evening.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Don't get me wrong there is a hell of a lot of work done before that to get lads into that position but is there any other county in Ireland that could compete with the above?

I can shed light on it for you. Its not true. All training is done in the evening apart from weekends. Same as people saying there are 100 full time coaches is not true. (there are 35 or so)

According to the Irish Times last month, Jason Sherlock was Dublin's 54th full-time coach.

Jason Sherlock works full time as a business development manager in the Louis Fitzgerald Hotel. He us part of the coaching team involved with the Dublin Under 14 development squad  like a good number of other ex inter-county players who volunteer with these squads.

I suppose people can interpret the no handshake how they like but to me it doesn't look good and doesn't exactly teach respect to young players watching on.

Hardstation your entitled to your sarcasm but it's not good behaviour and it's not what people like to see.

O'Gara is being accused of biting so people congratulating him for not lashing out aren't correct either. The Meath players gave a bit of mauling after the alleged biting incident took place alright. They seemed very annoyed.

Most of the digs O Gara got happenned before Burke got near him. Try not to reinterpret the tineline to suit you perspective.

Posts looking for suspensions for Meath players are hilarious. I'd be more concerned with the trampish behaviour of Dublin players. Biting and not shaking hands. Pretty childish tactics if you ask me.

No biting seems to be the consensus just fish-hooking and punches thrown by Meath players. As for not shaking hands, its possible that O'Rourke never apologised for "that tweet"

Answer this one Burke ......................................, hang your head Burke

Burke appears to be doing the same thing that Paul Galvin did to Eoin Cadogan in 2010.

Galvin got an 8 week suspension which he did not contest.

If I recall correctly, he was knocked to the ground (definite peno by the way) and palmed the ball into the net.

If you arrive at that conclusion after watching this then you must be a wind up merchant.

So basically, big Joe's goal in the 2010 Leinster Final was completely legit.

No it wouldn't. Big Joe fell on the ground  but still had control of the ball and just threw it into the net.
