Should have been a red card, but not a peep out of it this morning. Oshea could /should based on the other two got a black card in the 1st have for dragging down Cluxton.
I'm biased but I honestly think it was more of an accident, than a hit. Not worthy of a red, probably a yellow for being a bit reckless. But certainly not a red. He's not looking at o'carroll, and looking at that, why would he try to hit him while desperately trying to get the umpire's attention?
And as for the "not a peep out of it this morning", I think that has to do with several other incidents that were much more clear cut, such as johnny cooper's hit on o'connor.
Oh yeah and what about cluxton kicking out at o'shea afterwards? Shouldn't he have been punished for that?0 -

Regardless of whether it was an accident, he still struck out. Reminded me a bit of a wild pull in hurling where you get red for dangerous play. He was very lucky to stay on.0 -

You don't need to be looking where you throw a punch when you already know where the lads face is

Oh man, please no more of the melodramatics concerning the beheading.
We both agree Mayo needed a little something extra and that it is unfortunately gone that way.
I can't agree with classing us as a dirty team, I'm not sure you will find many that do either. The general consensus is that Mayo aren't a dirty team. Maybe we are dirty.... maybe we're cute enough to get away with it
One a scale, we are far more Kerry (cute/dirt) than Dublin (cute/dirt), I don't think it's any coincidence that we started to change in this respect when Buckley came on board.
Fwiw, O'Connors lash out has been part of the game for years. It's not a "modern football" phenomenon for a back to hold onto a forward and it's almost expected (almost part of the game) that the forward is to fight free.
It very rarely gets picked up on and I have no doubt that it there wasn't blood drawn then we wouldn't be talking about it now. It would been in the locker with all the other off the ball stuff that we're not talking about.
I started this off by calling out that there was no chance it was even remotely an accident.
But I've conceded it was dirty and I try not to wear any type of glasses.0 -

But I welcome this cuteness in general. We were naive for too long. If Dublin were half as smart they'd be looking forward to playing Kerry. Of all teams to give soft frees in front of goal away too, you don't give them to us.... we also know how to win a free in these instances.
Pity you aren't so quick at actually taking them, though are you? You might want to tone down the self congratulatory slaps on the back for your cuteness, until your players have a few All Ireland medals in their back pockets.Oh man, please no more of the melodramatics concerning the beheading.
The beheading? Oh that's very witty. Very witty indeed. Perhaps next time, you'll work in a joke about Anne Boleyn, or Maire Antoinette losing her head (geddit? ) during the French Revolution.
Won't change the cold hard facts of what actually happened though, nor will your telling people to stop bringing it up. It only draws more attention to it. So well done you !0 -

Is it because o carroll is made of glass that there is so much talk from dublin about that tap? Or is it just because they're afraid he'll destroy them on saturday and they want him out of the equation? Elbow my hole0
