    Remember the closing stages of the 2017 final when Mayo were trying to restart and Dublin took virtually every Mayo player down in sync? That’s just one example.

    That never happened, it's a myth that gets oft-repeated to the point where it is believed.

    Monaghan created the added time through diving and substitutions. Good to see that this is being penalised now by added time.
    Where was this mentality when the shoe was on the other foot? Kerry robbed by Joe mcquilan who couldn't wait to blow it up.

    In fairness now - it wasnt 'started' by Kimmage.
    It did happend - not to the extent of all 15 being pulled down which is where the myth has grown to but there were 4/5 players pulled down or held off the ball.

    State of Dungannon. Looks dreadful on TV for such a big game. Seen better club grounds at junior level.

    Was it always fixed for there or was there an issue with Omagh’s pitch late in arrangements? I know some counties like to bring one league game out to a smaller ground.

    That’s a fair score from Clifford.

    If anyone cares to post the time index of this "event", the whole match is on Youtube - it's easily verified what actually happened.

    That's the worrying aspect of this, people have literally rewritten what happened in their heads.

    Not sure to be honest.

    People basically standing in a car park watching the game in those conditions is serious committment.

    Was fixed for Omagh but that was declared unplayable - playing the game at all was idiotic to be honest.

    There’s a fair chance we’re watching the greatest ever.

    33 degrees and the sun splitting the stones couldnt make that sh*thole in Navan look nice.
    One of the worst GAA county grounds I've been to!

    Disgrace that players have to play in this sh1t. They'll pump 30 million into white elephants in Belfast and won't invest in decent pitches for any county grounds.

    Some punishment for a foul for Galway there.

    Keeper brings player down for penalty. Black card, so a player down for 10 minutes, and need to use two subs to move keepers on and off. And Donegal score the penalty anyway.

    I always liked it myself. It can be a bit nippy up in the stand no matter what the weather but there’s a great surface on it and it’s very handy access.

    The Tyrone match? That isn’t a county ground.

    The David Clarke kick out at the end of that game is probably one of the most pathetic things I've seen in the history of the GAA.

    There clearly was holding and wrestling, which any team would have done, but sure Clarke kicked it over the sideline anyway

    It had to be moved from a county ground because it was unplayable. If this was playable what was Omagh like. Sh1t pitches up and down the country due to no investment whatsoever.

    Big enough crowd here. Terrace under the TV cameras is full. Kerry outnumbering Tyrone on this side anyway. Seems to be more locals on the far side. Cannot wait to get back into the car

    Did Kilkenny get black carded another Dublin player get booked and Rock immediately push his marker twice knocking him forward?

    Meath shooting is the worst in the country. Absolutely pathetic. They should be giving 30 minutes a session to practicing this. You'll beat nobody if you can't score.

    Ah, the shuffling sound of goalposts being moved.

    We've gone from "Co-ordinated drag down by all the forwards" to something entirely different.

    Costello gets booked alright, but he's only on the pitch for a moment, so over enthusiasm can be expected. I reckon at least one of the Mayo backs should have been booked too.

    Rock's shove is maybe 5-6 seconds before the kickout was taken.

    Kilkenny got involved with someone who has just literally executed one of the most infamous displays of gamesmanship ever seen in a football match - it had nothing to do with the kickout. He deservedly walked for it too. Himself and Keegan were the only two on the ground during this supposed "co-coordinated drag down".

    The whole thing is a massively exaggerated fabrication.
