    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.

    .....

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 :)

    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.

    If he gets done - and i think he should - he should be cut from the panel. Why would you bother having him in the panel for the final IF they get there when other players were on the pitch or in the panel that got them there.

    You can can call it all you like

    Say its anti this and that.

    You should not be allowed touch official. 6 months and that might put stop to it.

    These officials give their free time. Getting no respect in GAA

    Refer me back to where I said that exactly????

    He was poor overall. Murphys first yellow was very soft. Manions likewise.
    Connolly should of got red. There was soft frees a plenty.

    The team that actually tries to attack will get more frees when a referee is over picky, it's not rocket science.

    Dublin were always going to win that

    You said he was poor for both teams. He wasn't. He was great for Dublin.

    In fairness, it's not like Mr Connolly has a checkered history or anything..

    TBH a couple of the Carlow lads went down easy enough, before you have a go at me over it I think is was fairly understandable.

    Any breaks they got were from behind their midfield, most of their players were behind them, they had one option up front and he wasn't exactly Mr mobile. Their big target man at corner forward spent most of the evening on his own line or tracking Manion.

    By the time the Carlow players had worked the ball into the scoring zone they were knackered and there was nothing on for them, no support.

    Drawing the free and getting a quick breather in the process was the correct footballing decision IMO.

    Just seen it. While the act is pretty tame, the intention of intimidating the official is high end. If that happened in rugby (where the GAA should model itself on respect for officials), the incident would be dealt with severely.

    Expect Ciaran Whelan to greet his teeth and brush it off tomorrow night.

    What did McGeeney get again for saying something to the linesman?
