Tyrone v Kerry All Ireland Final 2008

[ONeill]

You mean youse Tyrone boys dont aspire to winning dozens of AllIrelands and being revered throughout the footballing world??

Kingdoms are things of the past. Like Leprechauns, asking for a pint a porter, penny bubbly, telling the wife to slap on a bit of make up for God's sake, paper hats with Up Down, and Marathons.

Very poor form by Gormley if thats the case. In fact that sort of behaviour is pretty much as low as it gets.
Always had this Tyrone team down as gracious honest sportsmen in victory and defeat but Gormley has really let himself and his colleagues down by this childish triumphalism.

A picture tells a thousand words... but not necessarily the correct story!

...And rarely the whole story.

Indeed, player clenches fists in the immediate aftermath of referee blowing his whistle in the All-Ireland final shocker . Nobody except Conor Gormley knows whats going through his mind at that point but the enlarged picture shows a load of Tyrone boys reacting immediately after the referee's whistle ( http://www.sportsfile.com/id/321541/ ) and that looks like a lad being overwhelmed by the moment rather than rubbing an opponent's nose in the mud. Fair enough though to those who like a cliche its another example of those evil Tyrone lads ruining things for everybody else. Whatever the truth is the fact is that reprinting the image showing just Gormley and Galvin is misleading in the extreme.

there is another picture on sportsfile that shows conor already starting to clinch his fists even before paul galvin fell at his feet. It looks like he was just celebrating upon hearing the final whistle and was taking no notice of paul galvin

Poor from indeed. I'd say he is regretting that now.

I'm sure he is.

If you look closely you'll see that that photo was taken after the other one (unless the lads all ran in reverse Harry Hill style), Galvin is just getting back to his feet. Bryan Cullen did the same as Gormley to Declan O'Sullivan last year, least O'Sullivan had the last laugh... Maybe the two lads were having words before, and with Galvin and Gormley involved I'd be surprised if they weren't but no one deserves that on the final whistle...

but no one deserves that on the final whistle...

You will also notice that conor is still doing it even though galvin is getting up which goes back to my original point that conor is taking no notice of Galvin but only celebrating the win

You need to read all the posts... Posted yesterday...

Remember the shutter speeds on modern cameras, what looks at that milisecond like Gormley lording over Galvin may actually have been Gormley on his way up to throw the fists in the air.  Would be interesting to see what the following pics taken directly after are like. 

At you're clutching at straws there Rois, look at 19 mins in (can also see Galvin getting dumped on his hole) http://dynamic.rte.ie/av/200-2425181-512-288-t.smil
Gormley is on the ground facing away from Galvin, gets up, turns around, stoops down and u can see what happens from there in the pic there, says more than words ever can...

[his holiness nb]

Suprised to hear the suprise about Gormley on here. Anyone who saw the game on rte could clearly see Tyrone players taunting Kerry players early in the game after missed efforts, and right before the end.
I thought this behaviour was common knowledge??

But I suppose the comment about not knowing what was said to Gormey sums it all up.
Dont remember too many people after last years Leinster final piping in saying "you dont know what was said to the Dubs beforehand".

Double standards on this board are rife.

I would agree with that, there'd be much more of an outcry if it was a Dub standing over Galvin...

There's definitely be an outcry if a Dub was standing over Galvin on All-Ireland final day. Like, how the feck did the streaker get on the pitch.

That's not fair O'Neill, it could be Pillar helping him to his feet  Speaking of which I sure he could have gave the Kerry lad a dig out at half time, instead of him having to crawl over to the wall like a one year old trying to stand up...
