With very little provation.

Take another look, Keane was seriously provoked Slattsy, without a doubt.

I said the same pretty much yesterday , last minute of an intense game and he is pulled and dragged out of the way he was. Not one person can say they wouldn't react in a similar fashion at all.

Yes he should be allowed repeatedly punch an opponent, it's only fair.

Ffs are you serious?

Did you decide to ignore my whole post and just quote one line?

It's reported that he was included in the squad, cause if he won his appeal he can't be added - I don't think that's right so I queried it here

If he is in fact allowed to be named in the squad, but banned from the match which seems a ridiculous situation to be in, the if it goes to extra time, that's considered a "new" game by some rules in GAA.

I also read today that out of 7 red cards appealed, 6 have been successful -

It's reported that Jim Gavin included DC in the squad, for if he doesn't and the appeal is successful he can't then include him - that has to been reported wrong?

No that's correct. If Connolly isn't named in the squad and he gets off on appeal, say tonight, then he can't play. It was one of these stupid rules brought in at Congress because some people were annoyed that teams never line out as they are in match programs, as if its some big secret how a team will line out.

If it's not then were down 1 player in the squad for the match, but let's suppose it does go to extra time? Is he then allowed on, I would have assumed he wouldn't be allowed to be named but if they don't allow him to be replaced only fair that he should be allowed play the "new" game

If Connolly is named in the squad but doesn't win his appeal then yes Dublin will be down to (I think) 25 instead of 26 (I think this was changed at congress this year but I can't find a reference to it).

No he won't be allowed play if the game goes to extra time. Extra time is not a "new" game it is an extension of the original game and any players suspended for the original game are still suspended during extra time just as any player sent off in normal time is not allowed to play in extra time. This is detailed in Rule 2.6 of Rules of Specification.

Connolly's is the only one I can find reference to during the Championship that was not successful.

Any vidoe I've seen I've only been able to make out one punch.

Yes it was a strike.

Yes it was a red card

Yes there was provacation

Ehhh..and No he didn't repeatedly punch Keegan from what I've seen.

Well I guess you didn't read my post properly or chose to ignore what it was saying. Things happen in the heat of the moment and well you can lash out its just common sense.

No. You may be confusing it with teams able to start extra time with 15 players again. They can't however use anybody who was sent off in normal time.

That is exactly what i am doing

Any word on Rory O' Carroll? Did he get concussed last Sunday?

Slattsy wrote: »

He swung a punch and connected

Am i thinking of something else.?

Did you look at it again?
I thought he made a swipe with a half closed hand go get Murphy to release his grip. In my opinion it should have been yellow for both players and I guess the guys in the CPC had the same opinion and rescinded the red to yellow.
Most people down here (in Mayo) also believe it was a red as well and that it should have stood but most people didn't look at the incident again and can only remember the close up slow motion bit which I admit looks bad. In any case its history now.

Swelling will go down after a few days. 10 stitches. He'll be ok

10 stitches are a lot. It must have been a really big cut. For example this rugby player only got 7 stitches. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/article-1288547/Dan-Coles-stitches-kick-eye-I-played-England-team-won-Australia.html

I really hope Dublin have worked on the tackle and they don't give away as many kickable frees. My only worry is that they gave a lot of kickable frees away against Fermanagh. It could be a pattern, so the bad tackling might not be easily eradicated. Obviously 2 games isn't enough to draw such conclusions and I can't recall how many kickable frees they gave away in other games this year... But it is a worry.

Have it on good authority from someone with Crokes that Rory didn't have to get any stitches

The cut didn't look that bad nor did the strike, commentator could've been talking crap.
