He knew what he was doing. Problem was by the time he had realised he was in a scoring position, then had to have another look to steady himself, it was too late. McCaffrey should never have gotten a block in and it was a huge chance. Just fell to the wrong guy, just on and probably not near the pace of the game.

He would have been sent on to try to get a score, no other reason so he has to take it on.

You're right though, Andy or Cillian would have nailed it.

Might shut the Kiltane crowd up who are always bleating about some hard done by unearthed gem up their way.

Have we any idea when the DC thing will be put to bed? Assuming the meeting has started?

Like our forwards were so prolific from play. Mickey has the balls at least to go for it, it was a savage block.

Think it's unfair on Sweeney to highlight a half chance he got. Sure it might have been near the end but there were plenty who missed chances all throughout the game. It's all if and buts anyway, Cluxton had a better chance to win it for them.

Exactly
Mayo got the chance to flight again thanks to their own come back and Cluxton's failure.

They did not miss the chance of an All Ireland place due to Sweeney.

It was more than a half chance in fairness. And yes there were other chances missed but the original point was that if you're going to bring on someone with 10 mins to go to grab a chance or two then it's Dillon everyday for me. Sweeney might be that guy in time, but not now imo.

Sorry to go off topic - PARlance, can you PM me your mobile number again? Your PM Inbox is full and I can't PM you.

Article should really highlight the reaction from the majority of Dublin fans... who weren't impressed at all.

Wow. I really hope they didn't cop the correlation with the Mayo player last week. If they knew about it... TBH the mind boggles...

What is the craic with Connolly and the DRC?

Still no word and no dublin team named. Game on in 18 hours. Crazy.

Is there not a deadline for it to named

Ace2007

I really fail to understand why the appeals can't be heard during the day.

As a Dublin man, as a G.A.A. supporter this has to be some sort of sick pathetic joke. Who ever came up with this maybe thought they were respecting DIarmuid Connolly but you can bet your bottom dollar that Connolly would not want to be associated with this.

At worst maybe the person who came up with this idea didn't think it through or realise what he/she was doing. I think in fairness to the Dubs they got fully behind the round of applause for Darragh Doherty as I would expect any county to do.

No Dublin supporter woud be associated with this sort of ****e. Sure we have boards to slag each other anyway

It was my understanding there for a deadline for the squad at least, but that if say Connolly wasn't named, and then cleared, he wouldn't be allowed to be re-secledted, which is nuts to be honest, so perhaps Dublin are going to exhausted all avenues first, and then name it so that they have a full squad, whether with or without Connolly.

The also reckoned yesterday's appeal was upheld. Not exactly a credible source!!

What would the feeling be if Connolly got to play considering the other red cards that have been rescinded?

I actually think that it shouldn't be reported by so many places, just ignore it - if folk don't know about it they won't get involved.

In fairness my comment was missing a at the end. Wasnt said in seriousness.

Sweeney did go for it. He had 2 looks though and it cost him the space he needed. Anyway, these things can happen to good players. If he was on a little longer with a touch or two more he might have done it without thinking.

The Dubs are fierce quiet tonight....

Dublin Twitter . Connolly wins his appeal and now free to play .

MaroonAndGreen

Yup Connolly has been cleared, that's a fcuking joke to be honest that you can keep appealing

Fr Tod Umptious

I can't see any official link to say that Connelly has won his appeal.

Just a post on the Dublin board here.
Nothing on GAA Facebook, Mayo Facebook, RTE etc.

Does anyone have an official link.

did it take Keane 3 appeals?


whatever about Keane in General you have to ask what's the point of red cards. looks like you have to kill someone for it to stand up in the appeals process.

Can anybody really say they are surprised he got off? Let's put it behind us and just go out and do the business on the pitch and beat them!

It's something the Dubs can't be moaning about now I suppose. To anyone travelling, be safe. Come on Mayo.

ArielAtom

Keane = Connolly as far as appeal goes.

seligehgit

One wonders why the GAA went through this charade of pretence that he would'nt win the appeal when pretty much every dog on the street assumed he'd get off in the end.

Barlett

To be honest mentally, it'll be hard to get yourself into the groove, one less thing for Dubs to moan about too. But between Kevin Keane and this...a red card means absolutely nothing.Who would be a referee?

Fowler87

Haha not surprised. But if we're gonna win, let's take them down with their star on the field. What an absolute shambles GAA ruling boards are though. Lad might have to be left unconscious on the field for them to dish out any sort of ban.

PARlance

All the better to beat you with!

km79

maybe people can stop quoting Mayo Gaa Banter page as a source now
They wrongly said he got off Thursday night and that his appeal was denied last night !
Anyway the Dubs have probably been planning without him and building a siege mentality . They have no excuses now ...........Keegan needs to BURY him with a shoulder early. Preferably in front of the Hill
