No wonder there is such confusion of the black card.......:rolleyes:

There is no confusion, refs just don't apply the rules and therefore leads to mis understanding of the rules.

According to the rules if you foul month the ref in an aggressive manner it's a black - now how many blacks have you seen for that when players lose their temper at a bad decision? Ref chickens out and just brings the free forward.

My original point is that there is such confusion over the many, many rules in Gaelic Football it doesn't surprise me when what I call a "normal" foul is made, half the crowd are roaring for a black card. There is complete confusion, people don't understand what a deliberate body check is, what a deliberate trip is, what the difference between a jersey pull and a pull down is.

And the ref is meant to make sure they guy has his toe under the ball, count 4 steps to ensure players aren't overcarrying, make sure they don't hop twice in row, make sure they don't hand-off, if there is contact figure out if its shoulder to shoulder, if its not was it deliberate.............and maybe all of this while counting to 5 in his head and raising his arm to play an advantage.


And to answer your question since the start of last year I have seen black, yellow and red cards all issued to players for mouthing to a ref. Then again I probably go to 80 or 90 games a year so maybe that skews the figures.

DRP after that

I'm sick of these appeals - if it is upheld, that should be it, not being able to appeal to not one but two boards is ridiculous - typical GAA though

My gut feeling is that he'll get off.

Trying to prepare for that news myself.
Do we know a time? Not that it may act as any guideline.

I hope he does to be honest. Not condoning his actions but for sake of consistency. Sort out the crap next Congress.

Its Mayos to lose on Sat, all the momentum is with them, I'd say by 6+

Same as,mixed feelings.He certainly deserves to be suspended but in the light of all the other lads who got off on a technicality it would appear like he's been singled out if appeal is unsuccessful.Can't say I'd be devastated if such a gifted player was marked absent but I'd like to see us beat their strongest possible selection.

Can we apeal his inclusion if he gets off to DRC. Lol

I unliked that page a long time ago. Stupid winding up of other counties is one thing but when they start attacking their own then it's time to pack it in.

That banter page is rubbish. There's a couple of pure idiots admin'ing it - flaming and trolling - although a few of them are sound. It's embarrassing.

Ah I don't agree with any of the wind up brigade,there can be some fun elements to it.Absolutely disgusting either way but to attack their own...Do you mean the players?I never came across that,that's a step too far.

I recall them making a joke about how Donegal should break down the Mayo defence by sending high ball in on top of Ger Cafferkey. Also Kevin Keane was tagged in a post giving out about one of his performances (might have been the 2012 final, I can't recall exactly). I also remember something about how Richie Feeney wasn't good enough to be on the panel. Unbelievable treatment of amateur players who give their all for their county. The page is just a bunch of attention-seeking idiots riding on the popularity of Mayo football. I'm all for banter and craic but their trolling and flaming of other counties is embarrassing and classless in the extreme. But then again I am starting to avoid most social media commentary on the games, every idiot is on giving their informed opinions, it's got to the stage now where I miss the pub.

The meeting hasn't even started yet so it will be a while yet before we hear

Been trying to figure this out - if Connolly has been named in 26 man squad but the ban is upheld then he can't be replaced leaving Dublin with a 25 man squad??? And if he's not named, he can't play if he wins the appeal. I know you are allowed to replace a goalie after the deadline but not an outfield player...any other loophole here that I'm missing?

Could they for example name no sub goalie, name Connolly at 16 and then trade a sub goalie in if the appeal is upheld. Or if he wins the appeal replace number 26 on the panel with a sub goalie??? No rule that says that number 16 can only play in goals as far as I know!!

Surely they wont take the red away? Christ the GAA go on about respect, Connolly does what he does, if they now turn around and say that's ok, they need a serious kick in the hole. So sick of the whole thing, at the stage now I don't even want to go to the match.

Same as, ridiculous stuff posted on that page, but its like that Hill16 page or what ever it is, seen some of the fools posting on that and its embarrassing the intelligence. Banter isn't much better and they have allowed some awful stuff to be posted.

Why are you singaling out Connolly?Did a certain Mayo player get his red taken away recently?

Because he got a red for punching a mayo player on the ground and was sent off for it, simples really. Also had his elbow buried in a Mayo lads face. So deserves it really. Can't see the problem with it.
Was there another player during that game Sunday who got a red we can talk about?

Well you wouldn't see a problem with it would you?Dont suppose you seen the poor innocent mayo player dragging Connelly to the ground did you?Or another mayo player punching Connolly and then run whinging to the linesman to get Connolly sent off?Did the 3rd man in not deserve a red card?

I see a Dublin lad punching a Mayo lad while lying with his elbow in his face, deserved a red. I see a Mayo player pushing Connolly off the Mayo player he was punching. Simple really.

I also see Cooper nearly breaking a Mayo players leg with a challenge.
I also see Cluxton kick out at a Mayo player.

I see Connolly continually harassing the ref over every decision.

I see Philly McMahon coming in on Boyle and punching him on the ground after the penalty.

So not sure what you see, but I see you have 5 posts since your last post 2 years ago, 2 of them were over moaning on the Dublin forum about Mayo posts, now your over here looking for a reaction, probably so that you can report them.

ANYWAY, we've been here 10000000 times since last Sunday, we talked it up and down the pitch and so far 1 player has had a red, that maybe resinding in the next few hours.
So the only player with a charge is Connolly, unless we've missed something?
