Philly McMahon

[yellowcard]

Currently 12/1 for footballer of the year and if its based on performance he should win it. Kept AOS under wraps twice and kept Gooch quiet and outscored him yesterday as well as being probably the highest scoring man marker in the game. If it wasn't for the unsavoury incidents he'd be a shoo in for POTY but he probably won't win it now because of the bad PR. Like McMenamin and Galvin though he will always be a player who plays on the edge and sometimes who goes over the line.

He'd have been better off saying nothing on the radio this morning instead of ""Look, it was a slippy day and the ball was on the ground to be challenged and I went down to challenge the ball," Is that the best excuse he could come up with ?

[Farrandeelin]

A low act. But what sanction would suffice? I mean the CCC or whoever could make up an 8 wk ban for McCann in the middle of the championship, nothing worthwhile would be any use at this stage of the year. Saying that it was rotten, absolutely rotten.

Donaghy says it's over now and left on the pitch, anyhow from that photo it looks like star is sticking his big head into philly's finger tip.



Was it Philly and Connolly that caused a near riot in a club championship a few years back ?

[Farrandeelin]

Eye gouging is a sickening offence

It is and I'd never defend that player because I don't like him anyway.

However it's rich listening to Kerry commentators going on about it after Kennelly took Murphy out of it in 2009.

Going by your logic nobody should comment on the matter at all, because every county has a player who did something wrong in the past....

one law for dubs another for tyrone etc typical southern bias

Any ban would apply to next years championship  and not the league!

[Ranga]

People say every team needs a player like McMahon, Dublin seem to have many of these type of players!

missing a few games in the leinster championship is hardly punishment

McMahon, O'Carroll, Cooper, MDMA, Bastick, Connolly, who are the Kerry players?

O Carroll has never been sent off- doesn't count

Cooper weighs 11 stone and is a waif- I'd pick him with with one hand myself. - again doesn't count.

Kerry have O Mahony, Donaghy, Galvin, Maher, Crowley...........I could go on.

The most cynical team in the country and always have been.

Donnacha Walsh, Donaghy, David Moran, Enright, Maher...off the top of my head!

O'Carroll is very good at it, that's why he doesn't get caught.

It doesn't matter what weight you are, Ricey wasn't 16 stone.

I wouldn't include Maher or Crowley on your list.

Dublin have won the most cynical team this year by some margin.

Only Donaghy would make the cut from that list.
