Mod Note Post #1 - The 2022 All Ireland Senior Football Championship.

A couple of posters should take off the blue tinted glasses....

Dangerous play is certainly NOT well defined. In fact it's not defined at all..... Check it out for yourself.

(The same goes for a melee -no definition in the rule book and players have gotten off on that very technicality. )

The ball wasn't at his body there are two players going for the same ball both moving towards the ball.

If we're going to really get technical it should have been a retake as the keeper has moved off his line before the ball is struck.

Regardless the connection with the head is incidental contact which is permitted, in fact specifically mentioned in the rules. If you watch the video you can see him losing his balance as a result of his right foot landing on Comerfords outstrecthed hand and when he makes contact with his left boot theres no recoil from Comerfords head - there would be if it was a kick.

You don't seem to understand the rules of the game. Just because something is a foul doesn't mean its a card. There's no assault - that's at best a farcical statement. There's no dropping of the knee to someones head.

I'm presuming you're actually just trying to wind Kerry supporters up given that you've twice mentioned David Gough who wasn't refereeing, nor even a linesman.

Why not be balanced and call for a red card for Fenton who put his arm around a Kerry players neck from behind to drag him away from his opponent in the seconds after this incident? That's deliberate, and dangerous. (To be fair to Fenton he appeared to realise and stopped and moved done to his arms

Exactly right. You have nothing to lose in a final, until you lose it. The same media who built you up have f all to do at that point except get stuck into you for the next few months.

Walsh is a great player with devastating ability, but he makes a mistake in a tightish final and they lose - even if they are outsiders - and he will be picked apart in snidey articles until christmas. Same with comer and whoever else.

Indeed michael fitzsimons will probably get a bit of it in the off season, maybe a few more pulled in for good measure. Im surprised the dub fans dont seem to realise this at this stage, thet seen ourselves get plenty of it after simply losing a big game that we werent even favourites for. That is how the media works these days. They are full of sh*te but you have to just grin and bear it.

I think it is mad that people are saying kerry have 2 top forwards. It was geaney that kept them out of hot water when others werent in it against mayo. Ironically enough, i would bet that it will be the likes of geaney who will be the difference against galway.

Galway will probably set up very defensively and double up on sos and clifford, with kerrys other forwards being too good to be left idle and popping up for scores. Galway can also be over-zealous in the tackle and i think kerry will be cute enough to engineer frees from it.

Fully agree and I said so at the time.

Fake news. That's a load of images of worried supporters from different matches just copied and pasted together.

I saw that on twitter earlier. Meath footballers Emma Duggan, Vikki Wall and Aoibhin Cleary are in that photo too. Top right corner.

Rather unusual thing to say.

Re: scoring, open to correction, but Galway were the highest scorers across the 4 league divisions. In their 5 championship games to date they have scored 11-82, an average of 23 points per game; only in the Mayo game have they only goaled once. Last Saturday was their lowest total to date.

Re: beating the big teams, they've beaten the defeated AI finalists and Division 1 runners-up, Division 2 champions, Ulster champions and another Division 1 side. Not really much more they can do until the next match. This squad isn't a patch on the '98 team, but is similar in that both had a mixture of experienced, established and promising young talent which suddenly converged into a very good team that only gave the impression that it arrived overnight.

I hope this is wrong, but it may well be a year too soon. The age profile of the squad is not yet that high, bar Conroy and maybe Silke and Walsh, and a couple of significant injuries and absentees this year, (Mulkerrins, McLaughlin, Cooke, Hernon?) would strengthen the squad further next year. So there is good potential in the Galway squad for a few seasons ahead.

Get kexit done

Going for a ball is not behaving dangerously to an opponent. Duty of Care is rugby talk.

I’d say Eoin Murchin squirmed a lot when he watched replays of Seán O’Shea’s goal.
