culbaire wrote: » Brennan made a proper eejit of himself. If you cant see the FULL IMPLICATIONS of the meaning of Brennan's tweet, go back and read it a few times. By the way He FAILED to comment at the the verbals from some Dublin players as Shanahan stepped up to take frees. Was that unsporting? Will be interesting to watch in future to see will Brennan criticise Kilkenny players.

Mahogany Gaspipe wrote: » It was a sending off offence, I have no trouble with that. But it wasn't anything forceful enough to deserve the way Shanahan collapsed to the ground. It looked like a glancing blow there was little force behind it to my eyes. Rushe was right to be shown the line and I'm not condoning the action; but I'd be embarrassed looking at that replay if I was Maurice. If that's all that it takes to put him on the ground I wouldn't hold out much hope of Waterford lifting the McCarty cup.

Edit: the more I think about it, the idea that our chances of winning the All-Ireland are contingent on a player staying on his feet when he gets slapped in the face with a hurley . . . Mountainlad is right, we're in the fecking Twilight Zone at this stage.

Something along the lines of "it's okay when done by the descendant of sturdy Norman yeomanry".

Gentleman Off The Pitch wrote: » We obviously have different understandings of the word condone. To be clear for you: I am not excusing, pardoning, over looking, forgiving or even approving of Rushe's behaviour. You seem to be intent of shutting down any highlighting of Shanahan's behaviour by throwing accusations of condoning Rushe's strike around. As uncomfortable as it may be for you, Shanahan had a big role in the sending off of Rushe and his behaviour was unsporting
