Kerry V Tyrone Fodder AISF 23rd August 2015

[AZOffaly]

Ah the GAA, making a balls of actually running our games since 1887...[/b]

Banning McCann for 8 weeks for (an unquestionably disgusting act) the dive, when Shields did the very same thing a few weeks back on Live TV and got away scot free to mention but one..you just can't decide to jump on the bandwagon and pick ONE guy out over a media furore.

The solution to this issue, if done right (which won't happen) would be to instruct refs and officials to ACTUALLY PUNISH THE PLAYERS DIVING. A yellow card and a hop ball, losing possession a couple of times and the player and team involved won't be long copping on.
This would require a competent administration and a lot of competent refs, though. Neither of which I believe exist currently.

Brolly, ar5ehole that he is, has accurately dismembered the CCCC's case here on twitter in a few tweets. If they persist the same will happen in the DRA or whatever, wasting a lot of time, energy and money in the process.

What was so good about 1884 to 1886?

There were no championships to f**k up then if i'm mistaken? Didn't they only start in 1887?

Are you in for the Tipp job? 

No All Irelands doesn't mean they weren't already ruining the games

I'd say I'm hot favourite.

Give me a shout if negotiations get going. Tell them you know a younger, smarter, less bald version of John Evans from Kerry who for petrol money and free shnack boxes for life in Supermacs Thurles will lead Tipp to the promised land..

Kerry will be sitting back laughing at all this, let Tyrone be ripped apart from the inside out, dragging this matter through court, and they will get on with their preparations regardless.
Not a single Kerry analyst, Pat Spillane/ Darragh O'Shea etc, will give any column space to the incident unless the ban is overturned, after which they will go to town on it.
Something similar happened when Tyrone last made an all-ireland semi-final, the entire build up was overshadowed with the Tyrone County Board releasing a "Statement of Facts" that they were fouled more than their oppoenets in the wake of Sean Cavanagh's pull down.
Kevin keegans words spring to mind

I would say Kerry are a bit uneasy about all this. This is classic 'siege mentality' ammunition for Tyrone, a Tyrone team that seem to thrive on that and have been playing well. There's nothing good in this broohaha for Kerry I'd say.

[rrhf]

Dont know Kerry now hold more aces if they didnt already.  We stand to lose one of our top half forwards.  They are sitting back watching Tyrone in meltdown.

What would you call a Northern version of yerra..."Yirra"?

No it's - "We're always right about everything so we are"

Kevin keegans words spring to mind

Which ones?

"The 33 or 34-year-olds will be 36 or 37 by the time the next World Cup comes around, if they're not careful."

"He's using his strength. And that is his strength – his strength."

"They compare Steve McManaman to Steve Heighway and he's nothing like him, but I can see why – it's because he's a bit different."

"Goalkeepers aren't born today until they're in their late twenties or thirties."

"I came to Nantes two years ago and it's much the same today, except that it's completely different."

"In some ways, cramp is worse than having a broken leg."

"It's understandable that people are keeping one eye on the pot and another up the chimney."

"The tide is very much in our court now."

"I suppose if I had my time again I would refuse it and stay at Fulham because I thoroughly enjoyed my time there, and secondly I would have taken it..."

I've a funny suspicion that it's Mickey Harte who will be sitting back doing the laughing! Mickey has proven himself to be one of the masters at using negativity towards his team to his and their advantage. This can only bring an extremely tight group of players even tighter. If I was Kerry I'd be hoping this sorts itself out sooner rather than later. The last thing they need is one of their ex players writing a damning article on Tyrone's tactics. I can't see that happening.

I'd expect Mickey to pile a bit of pressure on the officials regarding the Colm O'Rourke comments too. A bit like Horan did a few years ago. Make it clear to all in sundry that it's out of order for refs to have a pre conceived view of Tyrone before the game and challenge them to ref the game fairly!

Other than that, it should be an interesting build up!

D'oh, you didn't really get the question, did you? 

And you being from Ulster don't get irony or humour

What Kevin Keegans words? Do you mean the Rafa Benitez remarks about his Facts on Fergie and Manure?

Never mind, can't believe Keegan could say shit like that!

That is brilliant.
