Mayo v Dublin: AISF21 (Saturday 14th August)

[TheGreatest]

Did they show the dangerous bodyslam that could of broken a players neck or the breaking of the hurl on the Sunday game last night?

Was there calls for a suspension?

Was there calls to introduce a TMO ref?

Was there any online abuse calling some of the Limerick players scumbags and tinkers?

No.. because they are not Dubs and certainly not from Ballymun.

Ah sure thats hurling ..

A lot of people in Ireland don't watch or follow the GAA outside a passing interest in their own counties, but when Dublin play there is Hyper mass Hysteria across the country,  anything involving Dublin gets mentioned,  even to songs that are played at half time. The media know this, they get the clicks after every Dublin game, they promote it and drive the agenda, especially the non traditional media, posting the same thing over and over again, building up the hysteria online, comments under their posts. I am sure this filters into the minds of the GAA hierarchy and match day officials too!

The Sunday game is a scripted cesspit. Bring back Seo sport.

If the players from Ballymun are having their feelings hurt by people calling them names online , maybe they should just stop assaulting people and play the game fair and square

I wouldn't say they are bothered at all, maybe other people from Ballymun are though, my point is the hypocrisy and the other points i addressed above, which Ireland has abundance of.

Sorry I didn't see any assault, must of missed that one and they have played the game fairly for a decade with 8 All Ireland medals..

LOL

Eye gouging, biting, head butting , breaking oppositions players noses and jaws (some in off the ball incidents)

In the game last week? I don't think so. Over the 10 years of battles maybe some stuff has happened all right, but when the entire country is against you, and opposition teams want to try and rough you up you have to defend yourself, you must be able to give and to take it when it comes your way. Plenty of incidents went to other way too, Thinking O Carroll and Paddy Andrews. Its a rough tough do or die game, shit will go down.

They did what they felt they needed to do to win, which including intentionally injuring opposition players. If you think that's okay and that they should be commended for behaving like that, then I'd take a serious look in the mirror

To be fair the Mayo boys are no Angel's.  Lads tackling with closed fists, high elbows, spear tackles,breaking collarbones, choking opposition players which RTE  seem to ignore. Sean Cavanagh fouled constantly by Lee Keegan in 2016 yet he 2 yellows and the line.Can you imagine outcry if Tyrone done that stuff?

And more often than not the referee took appropriate action....note the 2 very early and soft yellows Mayo got in the opening minutes of the 2012 Final against Donegal.

Many neutral observers have said that (apart from the missed red card on Small) the referee bottled at least 3 or 4 black/red cards against Dublin last Saturday. Why does the big team get the big calls?

Personally think the mayo Dublin niggle went too far , I also think its naive to think some of these so called personal battles were just part of the game , I dont know but I'd have a wager some of them players mentioned genuinely despise each other.   It wasn't healthy , philly McMahon is a horrible individual and that off the field nicely nice shite doesnt wash with me , hes a wrong un . Look back at that flying kick into cillian in 2015 , seriously messed up that kind of shit .

Point still stands though , kick still happened albeit I got the player wrong , . McMahon was the worst that day for sure , threw the head into aido , was he even punished for that?

[TheGreatest]

A potentially career ending tackle and it wasn't in poor Johnny's nature

Again-players only get away with what they're let get away with

That was a stonewall red and the ref bottled it followed up by a whitewash by the mighty Dubs media machine

Dubs were never soft even in the noughties when they were not winning all irelands.  Whelan amongst other gave some pretty big hits during that period..

True, but they were perceived as much, maybe it was more a mental frailty more so than anything, its funny because i use to think the same of Tyrone in 00s, tough men.
