Are you a trained medical professional who is qualified to judge on these matters? I am not, so I am not going around and making definitive statements on the matter. The Dublin team doctor said he was shown photos of what the Donegal camp claimed to be a bite. The Dublin team doctor said he saw pictures of a "laceration" or a "cut" (they are his own words) and did not agree that the markings were consistent with a bite. Obviously, I am a Dub, so it's not hard to figure out who I choose to believe. But unless you are part of the GAA committee that reviewed the cases put forth by both camps, or you or part of the Donegal or Dublin county boards that had access to all the claims made by the other side, I don't think you should be making matter of fact statements about the "evidence" that either side did or did not have. Because at the end of the day, you know sweet FA about what happened on the day, just like the rest of us.

TouchingVirus wrote: » There is a 4-game ticket for €40 for Adults and €10 for Juveniles. It's available over on http://gaa.tickets.ie. They are stand tickets only, and you must retain your ticket for all four matches. There are individual match tickets available before game-day from the Dorset Street Ticket Office and on http://gaa.tickets.ie - these are €10 for adults for all games, no matter what location. Juvenile €5 tickets are available for all games but once again these are for the stand only so no Hill 16 juvenile tickets. The prices on the day from the ticket vans are €15 for adult and I think €10 for juveniles.

There's no Ó Sé, no Gooch, no Darran or Declan Sullivan, no Donaghy etc. The Dublin early league team utterly destroyed the Kerry early league team last year, has that much changed? Bad signs for Dublin's hopes at retaining Sam Maguire if it has.
