Big turning point in the London Leitrim game. London up by a point, hit the post, Leitrim counter and score a goal themselves. They back it up a few minutes later with another goal, and lead by 5 now. London on top possession wise and goals seem to have knocked the stuffing out of them.

I fancied that game to end in a draw and London probably deserved at least a draw. Leitrim subs made a big impact goals wins games. They will be well up for the derby against Roscommon next.

It's really gratifying that my decision to go to bed for a couple of hours and miss the televised game today has proven to be the correct one.

Think I'll be taking that option each sunday up until July at least.

Miss a handy free, here you go have another for nothing. Connolly pushed the linesman and bollocks him, nothing.

Even against Carlow they get the favors

Jayop

Over carry and charging. Handy free in.

Madenning to watch.

Jayop

Only for the ref giving handy frees this would be a 2 point game.

Jayop

There we go. Just incase they had a chance

Jayop

Aaaand another nothing foul

Hammer Archer

Brain dead from Murphy. Yes Cooper was hanging off him but Murphy gave him exactly what he wanted. From one of their most experienced players as well.

Connolly should have probably gotten a red for grabbing the linesman. Referee has given some pretty handy frees to Dublin in the second half.

Connolly better get his legal team assembled again. Few months surely ?

hogandrew

The linesman who got the push in the chest is the one questions should be asked about. Did he not notice it happen? Did he not know it was against the rules?

No way he gets a ban. The linesman was a disgrace for not having the balls to get him sent off.

First one was never a yellow.

Hammer Archer

Pretty black and white for Connolly one would think:

Category V Infractions
5.32 To interfere with a Referee, Umpire, Linesman or Sideline Official – minor physical interference e.g. laying a hand on, pushing, pulling or jostling.
.
Minimum: 12 weeks Suspension in all Codes and at all Levels.

RoisinClare6

I don't know that lineman incident seriously annoyed me...grow a pair of balls lad and do something. Sure does he not know the rules or?

Jayop

Connolly again. That lad needs counseling.

He was probably in shock at being assaulted by a player




Connolly won't learn because he keeps escaping punishment .
I actually think it's reaching the point for Dublin where you wonder is what he brings to the team outweighed by his temper...........not there yet but another high profile incident in a semi or final ......

Had he been rightly sent off then this could have been a lot stickier for them.

It's the same every time Dublin get in trouble.

True, but when he's already on a yellow, to do what he did is stupidity of the highest order.

Cue the post match views:: "Carlow were brave, spirited, inspirational yada yada "

Clearly a damaged limitation exercise, it's mean absolutely nothing

Dublin won really in 2nd gear, won't know much about them to the quarter final

Had the game been reffed in any way adequately they would have had a chance.

The damage limitation was by the ref on behalf of Dublin.

No they wouldn't have. It's that simple

Your crystal ball must be well polished. There was a handful of points in it then and with Dublin a man down Carlow could have got close. That added to the various handy scoring frees Dublin got means we'll never know had Carlow got a fair crack at it.

We will never know but highly unlikely, result was never in doubt.

YOu stated thast you did know. Nice to admit you were wrong.

Had Dublin not had those handy free's and had to play a man down the last 25 minutes instead of with an extra man then the result would most certainly have been in doubt at that point.

Naturally you'd still expect Dublin to win, but the result would have been in doubt.

blazermel

An actual joke of a referereeing performance. Carlow could not get a break against Dublin, they could not lay their hands in for a tackle without the whistle bring blown. Dublin would have won no question but with fair play it wouldn't have been a 12 point margin.

On connolly - the tipperary goalkeeper is now serving a 12 week suspension for pushing a referee in a club game. So if Connolly is not sanctioned retrospectively for pushing the linesman tonight I lose all faith in the GAA.

Hammer Archer

If the GAA truly believe their "Give respect, get respect" mantra, then Connolly has to get a 12 week ban. He cannot complain about being targeted by the opposition in this instance. Something as simple as disputing a line ball caused him to grab hold of the linesman.

Bullsh1t. They hammered a team who had no ambition other than not to be hammered, playing badly.

Connolly is borderline liability at this stage, but he was right about that sideline. Brannigan shouldn't be left near a big game.

Ridiculous decision to give the line ball to Carlow and frustration overall, but still no excuse. Don't worry, he will. Might be a good thing for Dublin to be honest

Referee was poor for both teams to be fair, some mad decisions. Never rated him to be honest.

Dubs were poor but they won't worry too much, it's a win and weren't really tested. Jim found out a bit about some of his fringe players and cooper got 70 minutes.

What was in it at that time? 3 or 4 points? Like I said, 2 of those points were free's that should never have been given.

So then had Connolly have been sent off while it was a 1 or 2 point game then the game would not have been the foregone conclusion it was. Of course I'd still have bet everything on Dublin winning, but Carlow got screwed by the ref and his linesman and Dublin got the usual massive helping hand they always get any time they're in a spot of trouble in a game.

Are we looking at a Paul Galvin type action and ban? Just reading about it now.

Wasn't as bad as what Galvin did and the fact he had a blue jersey means he'll likely escape sanction.

Jayop

And even if he got a 12 week ban he'd be back for the semi final which is the next time they'll get a game.

There's the link to the story for anyone who hasn't seen it. Now the one difference there is between the two is that the tipp lad was red carded at the time during the match which is the correct procedure according to the GAA's own set of rules.

If action isn't taken against Connolly its an absolute farce.

You'd imagine Tipp and Davey Fitz would take action/ have something to say if there's video evidence and nothing done.

Bret Hart

If Connolly is indeed cited in which he should be,the silver lining for him and Dublin is at least he'll be well rested too face Kerry on the third Sunday in September.

Bonniedog

Connolly will get a ban, no doubt. And no harm given his last three performances.

He does get some nasty treatment, but his reactions are costing the team at this stage.

I've no doubt Brannigan deliberately gave the wrong call in order to annoy him, but he can't be pushing linesmen, no matter what sort of fkers they are.

Ah now. If that was the reason, why wouldn't he bring the referee's attention to the fact that Connolly grabbed him? Surely getting the referee to send him off would annoy him even more.

Nope, claiming the ref didn't do everything for Dublin tonight is typical Dublin blinkered bull****.

I'm confused? The incident involved the tipp football goalkeeper not hurling.

Ref gave some soft ones, but I don't recall any player on either side lying down after a lot of tough hits. Must have been a novelty for one of your countymen

I seen a Carlow man getting his hair ruffled and he stayed on his feet. Made of tough stuff down there boyo.

Aye, I was also referring to Davey's ban for his altercation & entry to pitch. If the evidence is there against Connolly and it warrants a ban but is let off, you could see some challenges for not being treated the same. I'm only spouting though as I haven't seen it.

They don't have fabulous hair like in Killyclogher in fairness
