At the end of the day if they broke rules then the individuals should be sanctioned

but the hysteria is ridiculous led by some in the media like Gilroy on Off the Ball who is very much anti Dublin and then those keyboard warriors who usually crawl out of the woodwork around July each year.

I am sure if we research these people so upset with what Dublin have done, you will see their same anger on the Cork and Down GAA forums..........

Dont let bias get in the way of a good old rant

Gilroy is a very large reason I cannot listen to OTB anymore.

Really really poor agenda driven presenter

An organised stealth meeting at 6.40am of senior Dublin footballers is a bit less casual than a few lads with a ball in the park. They broke the rules of the GAA and the National Covid guidelines. They will have to be men about it now and take whatever reprecussions. I'm sure they will hold their hands up and not whinge about it and no body should be whinging on their behalf either imo.

When do you think they should meet? Given most are working full time jobs.

I see cyclists out together all the time, and there are no police investigations. A sanction and move on.

What sort of country have we become with people reporting this (and other things)

And that’s exactly why these rules were in place

That's kind of sad. Dubs ignoring the rules and you think it's grand. Sad.

Not only Dubs ignoring the rules , the sad thing is you know this already

Down and Cork both got Management sideline suspensions and lost a home advantage in the National league

This is the minimum punishment Dublin should get based on precedence - however Dublin players have actually broken the law whereas neither Cork or Down did..so should there be a greater punishment?

From what i read about Down, it wasn't even training as such, more a meeting to give the players individual training plans etc, and it also wasn't on GAA grounds. Not sure what the Cork situation was..

Its a organised gathering of more than 2 households - so regardless of if everyone is doing it, its still illegal, and i thought the players and whoever organised it would have had more sense

If it's true, the word for gaining a competitive advantage by using illegal means is called "cheating".

I think you'll find, far from "rage, rage, I'm offended", the thought that the Dublin team would go down as the most successful cheats would provoke "laughter, laughter, I'm delighted"

Your delighted ! well there's a surprise

No way can this be true.

Didn't they sweep out the dressing room only last year?

Surprised they didn't also announce extra funding for Dublin. Maybe Biden will throw them some of that stimulus money

Here's hoping

Again, there's nobody jumping up and down, going puce or near the (metaphorical or otherwise) curtains. You seem to me seeing yourself as the voice of reason in the middle of a madding crowd. You're just another opinion-giver/keyboard warrior (as some like to say from their own keyboard when it suits). And that's fair enough. The 'calm down' comments are unnecessary, that's all.

Sure I am.

And you're not overly-exercised at all about it. Not at all at all.

The players broke the rules. They should be sanctioned. That should be the end of it.

I’ve made a complaint to the guards and would encourage others to do so as well
They didn’t just break gaa rules here

Well done you

Guard I was talking to (in a Dublin station) had a country accent and took my complaint very seriously

IM sure he did , did he pat you on the back ?

How is it it? They broke regulations, have put others at risk and put the path out of lockdown at risk.
Punishment should be worse than for cork and down as GAA was still considered elite sport at the time and absolutely should have legal consequences also.

Your really upset , you should really lie down for 24hrs or so

All I got was a picture of Franco Baresi and the Dublin football team.

I hate to break it to you but I suspect the Guards are following up on the news reports of this and not 'your complaint'

Only if he was the coach reportedly at the session. If he wasnt there, I dont think he should be suspended. The coach that was there should be.

And all the lads there get a fine for a breach of govt covid regulations. It will suck for them but it will show "outsiders" that they were dealt with by "the authorities".

That's it, case closed.

Dessie couldn't be in three places at the one time.

Smart thing to do would have been to move the sessions around and drive unmarked cars.
But the dunces in Dublin GAA couldn’t even figure that out

Rules were broken and sanctions are due.

What's the relevence of a players intelligence in this situation?
Why bring intelligence into the conversation?
If it's only for the sake of calling someone "thick" then I suggest your intelligence is also in question.

Against gaa and government rules but a non story????
How does that work
The rules are either obeyed or not. People have been slaughtered regularly in the media for lesser breaches.
Same standards need to be applied here- need to be severe consequences

Again I’d urge people to contact the Guards- more the merrier

Again you need to lie down
