Dara O'Se

Any know why the GAA have not called Dara O'Se's incident in the Mayo game where he purposely grabbed a player by the gonads. This fellow has been getting away with murder for ages and it's about time something was done about him.

Anyone else recall the incident I refer to?

Well it took them a few weeks to pull up T Mortimer on a similar incident in the Connaught Final so we will have to wait and see.

I'd say at the end of this Championship season there will have to be a total review of disciplinary matters and how they are handled re suspensions etc.

Yes, he should be.

I said before Mortimer got off lightly, so I feel no undue bias in saying he should be held accountable as well.

However the legal process as seen in McMenamins case will once again probably undermine the CDC decision if it goes against him.....because the 'ref acted on it'.

I'm appalled at Tyrone's and Armagh's unwillingness to take their medicine, it will ruin Gaelic Football, and someday soon some player is going to be left in a wheelchair of worse, with the crap that's going on at inter-county level.

An example has to be made, and the GAA should double any suspension if a player appeals their decision and is overuled....same way as driver penalty points.

Well said mate, I was going to post this myself. It's quite extraordinary the amount of off-the-ball incidents this guy has got away with over the years.
In this year's Munster Final he punched a Cork player (off-the-ball of course).
He did the same in the 1999 Final. And those are only the ones I can remember.
See the attachment to see one of his other misdemeanours.

Oh my God, did I see that properly, but sure he's only fertilising the field!!!!!

I didn't see the incident myself at the match, but I saw it on the Sunday Game, so it has been publically highlighted. They spoke a bit about it, amongst other incidents.
