Some of the stuff here is going way overboard! there will be riots next Saturday if this keeps up.

Have you seen the racist abuse some of your fans have sent to Connolly on Twitter. It's nothing short of a disgrace .

Some of your  fans are an absolute disgrace . You should be ashamed of yourselves . You do know it's only a football match .

Oh my, the irony!!!

The irony of what ? Threatening him with iron bars . stay classy their kid

No, I haven't even seen what was said to Connolly on twitter, I don't follow him. If someone threatened him and is giving him personal abuse, that's not on obviously and action can be taken if need be. We all know Diarmuid is well able to handle himself though...

The irony is you of all people coming out with the line "You do know it's only a football match". Your posts, along with squire and The Aristocrat have been nothing short of hysterical.

Hysterical, take a look at your own county with the blouse Aidan running to the media and every gombeen from here to Dubai with their mayo4sam rubbish, this is set up nicely for us on Saturday

FFS Squire can you be a little bit objective. O'Shea was asked a question and he answered. He didnt go running to the media, he gets interviewed after every game. You cant dent that that McMahon stuck the head into him , maybe if O'Shea dived to the ground holding his face he would have got more of a reaction.

Not accurate as pointed out on previous pages, even Pat McEanany , the head of the referees came out and said he didn't. Blatant attempt to get a player suspended because he couldn't get the better of him.

Looks like the papers today have decided Connolly's faith. CRC /CCCC getting in contact with their non-Dub friends in the media asking them to write articles to help them to carry through Connolly's ban. Example is John Fogerty in the Examiner today, helping his friends out. 

I see Aiden O Shea was watching straight out of Compton last night trying to learn how to toughen up and talk back to when he meets the gentleman Philip McMahon again. Aiden has a problem in big games, great against the Sligo's of this world but big games goes missing, in the 2013 All Ireland final they had to send out a search party for him.

A sad day for the CRC and CCCC if Connolly's 1 game ban is not overturned but we all know it wont as its agenda driven and Connolly is a hate figure. Looks like Mayo will have the ref again Saturday who notoriously gives very bad decisions to Dublin. Example league match against Kerry. Bad call to appoint him.

Wasn't he nominated for MOTM?

Yeah wrongly so, think they must have felt sorry for him. Don't get me wrong he is a top bloke and good player, im not targeting him, just disappointed he lied to national media, probably instructed to do so my the Mayo co management to try and get a player banned the next day.

Both AOS and COC were nominated for MOTM.  I even laughed at another paper giving Paul Flynn the award. 

Not too much mention of Cluxton kicking out.

What county are you from do you mind be asking ? I'm assuming it's one that's pretty shite

From what I saw of Dublin on Sunday you would need to get off your high horse if you think that team is anything special. 

I was neutral watching the game but to be honest 

[Mac2]

Why should Connolly get off?

Because Keegan hit him first. Clearly seen on the video.

And you can see hitman COC coming in to hit Dermo when he's on the ground. Brave man is Cillian.

Thing is when you go around acting the hard man it's usually advisable not to be playing the same opposition the following week

I posted a link a couple.of pages back to a video which shows Connolly hit Keegan first, and Cillian did not hit him at any stage. So you can withdraw those statements when you've realised you've been spouting nonsense

Look at it again, Keegan throws first slap. It's on social media and Joe.ie stating Keegan threw the first slap just after Connolly kicks a pass and is blocked from making a run

It's all coming out now, crying to the media.

Ye're the ones crying baby

If you think Connolly is going to get off because he ll claim the other guy started it you haven t a clue.

Connolly's assault a lesser version of incident below. Repeatedly hitting an opponent who is in no position to defend himself. Connolly was similarly out of control and if he wasn t stopped could be looking at a long ban indeed.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tz428AaGzoA

I don't recognise that sport but not even in the same radius as Keegan's/Connolly, both got up and made nothing of it until o Connor influenced the linesman. He won't get off because of that alone but video evidence plus the CCCC have no choice ala Keane who struck twice to the face , Connolly/ Keegan's is a much lesser offence, handbags.

More nonsense. Connolly was intent on continuing his assault when O Connor arrived. O Connor behaved with the utmost restraint in the circumstances - especially by calling the linesman attention. If he hadn t Keegan would have been opened and Connolly facing a lengthy ban indeed.

You should be writing short stories for the ufc website .......... Utter drivel, What of the upstanding OConnors forearm smash to OCarrolls head ....? Nothing, ah sure he was pulling out of him and deserved it

Christ ye're like a pinball machine jumping from incident to incident and trying to link them up.

'forearm smash to O Carrolls head' is the ultimate drivel, suggesting intent and wrecking ball force. Cop on and stop muddying the waters. O Carroll got caught with an arm outstretched in a gesture of frustration after being continuously held and checked. The tissue around the eye socket splits easily and its not nice to see anybody having injuries. Surprised he got stitches. Usually cuts like that are glued or stapled these days.
Cooper wrestled McLoughlin to ground in first minuted and didn t get digged like Keegan did.
If my neighbour Ger Cafferkey was acting the pup like O Carroll and Cooper and got cut in a gesture like that from Brogan or whoever I wouldn t be making a show of myself crying and trying to turn the tables and getting a player suspended that went out to play the game, like your friend The Aristocrat is.

Just to say, the reason O Carroll didn't come back on is his eye closed up and with his history of concussion also v Mayo it was the right call. A wild swing back but look what goes around comes around, maybe not this year but it will.

Secondly, I understand Connolly is not liked to say the least, yeah we know, t**ker, dub sc**bag, etc, but they targeted him and Keegan grappled him to the ground and Connolly tried his utmost to break free from him. O Connor acting like a Chelsea soccer player  to the linesman. Poor form, thought better of Mayo, master of the dark arts who need 2 ( laughs) managers to try and get them over the line.

Have a good night all , good discussion.

More nonsense. I doubt you give us a second thought and I don t mind if you do or don t. Like Kerry ye don t care what ye need to do to win and like Kerry ye have a massive since of entitlement and a huge sense of resentment when ye don t always get ye're way - which ye usually do of course. In effect ye are spoiled and some of ye're players are spoiled as well. Others of course are top lads. Jack McCafferty and the Brogans are classy in every way.bloke too. What I was dismayed by Flynn's dismissive gesture to the tv camera at the end. Thought he was a quality  was that about? Yer ould spin these last couple of day's Aristocrat has done nothing for your credibility.

Ah come on Moysider, in a thread that has gotten a bit out of hand , that comment about Flynn takes the biscuit.

His comment is pretty innocuous given some of the others. Donal Vaughan 'shoe shine boy' comes to mind.

What county are you from do you mind be asking ? I'm assuming it's one that's pretty shite

From what I saw of Dublin on Sunday you would need to get off your high horse if you think that team is anything special. 

I was neutral watching the game but some of the behaviour from both sides makes the rest of the teams who were highlighted this summer seem like angels.  Very surprised to see Cluxton get away with the kick.   

[Nihilist]

I'm surprised he didn't hit the deck he's a great man for the arms in the air and going down, sure he didn't have his spokesman cillian the ref beside him at the time, he grabbed McMahon by the scruff and pulled him into him.

Do you mean like the way Philly hit the deck clutching his face for 2 minutes? That was a Oscar nomination piece of acting allright. Maybe Mayo should take a leaf out of that carry on.

[mikehunt]

What county are you from do you mind be asking ? I'm assuming it's one that's pretty shite

have a quarter of the country's population. millions poured in to Dublin GAA, massive sponsorship deals. play all games at home and have a ref who is afraid to give anything against de dubs. relying on culchee gene pool to produce decent footballers. 3 senior all irelands in 30 years and not even close to competing in hurling. many would consider that a sh!te county.

Very true... except for Tyrone who deserved all they got!

You are sheer comedy gold Aristo - right lets forget the "was it/wasn't it a headbutt".
You state that O'Shea made a blatant attempt to get a player suspended, can you then tell me what Philly McMahon's motive was for taking a dive/feigning a blow to the head?......

Only Idiots bring up the population argument, id be embarrassed. Please go back to social media.

Other news: I'm  hearing Connolly has a very good chance of getting off now. Hopefully so, a true gael who deserves a chance to play and not be stopped playing by players or CRC.

Yeah no problem, he seen O Connor running towards the officials whinging and moaning again to try and influence them like he did when Connolly was assaulted by Keegan and O Connor.

Philly was my man of the match actually, did a hell of a job marking the best player in the country.

Mayos to lose now.

Ye're the equivalent of Real Madird and Barcelona in terms of resouces but the equivalent of Accrington Stanley when it comes to trophy haul.

I thought you didn't see any off the action between Philly and O'Shea ?

Didn't see it! I was too busy watching Lee Keegan sledging Connolly all game, but heard there was no real contact.

What does the term 'true gael' mean exactly?

[Crete Boom]

I don't really want to get into the arguments for and against the incidents already highlighted in what I must say is in a very calm reasoned almost philosphyical manner by both Mayo and Dublin supporters so far and to Indiana for his Trojan work in saving the GAA disciplinary proceedures from knee jerk reactions based on outlandish rumours realised in the aftermath of the match far away from the facts of the actual incidents that happened on the pitch.
However I do have one concern but somebody mentioned many posts back , that the sinned against Diarmuid Connolly should employ the Killian Keane defence when put before the CCCC. Killian Keane was a fine footballing center/outhalf for Garryowen and Munster back in the day but defence was not his forte so I would be very worried if Connolly applied "the Killian Keane Defence"!! I would say maybe if he would be better served by employing the " Philip Danagher defence" or if the CCCC are especially indignant in their approach the "Ger Earls defence" would definitely do the trick!!!

you're not wired to feel embarrassment
