I know it's an amateur organisation, but the professional foul has to be introduced to the GAA.

You might tell these idiots that it's not there yet though.
There's a goal in this.
Monaghan taking stupid shots
Fair comments when you are calling that a red.
It should be a red , common sense should be used.
Tyrone are horrid, they did have some talent that mitigated their cuntishness in the past. Now they are cnut heavy.
The first decent team that they meet will knock them out. Unless O'Neill pops back into form but cynicism will only take you so far
Haterz gunna hate.
Awful team, hate the way they play.
Looking forward to a decently played game of gaelic football up next.
Shower of Norn cnuts.
The ref is the real issue today, Tyrone did what they needed to.
No one really hates ye now though, just hate watching ye. Ye were hated back in the golden years because ye were a major threat with some of the best players in the country.
Not sure why you quoted my post there, I had just said it would be interesting to see what happened. I think Penrose deserved the red to be honest, even if it ruled my first goalscorer bet out, he still did raise his hands and make contact with Mone's face. Hard to argue with it being a red, Penrose was a niggly prick all first half. Gormley was lucky too, quite clearly through a punch.
Cavanaghs was less straight forward as the rule book does not legislate for a red in that scenario, so the ref made the right call strictly speaking. Cavanagh had 2 of those rugby tackles against Meath too, seems he doesn't fancy putting in the hard yards going backwards this year as much as running forwards. Carrying a couple of extra kilos if you ask me.
Very enjoyable game that. As I predicted earlier, experience told and the better team won.
Special word for McManus today though, Isometric performance.
Joe Brolly is going to have a heart attack
Jaysus Brolly gone mad
Good man Brolly!
Brolly is right, nobody would ever score a goal if O'Rourke was right.
Brolly's head shaking is classic Irish punditry.
Outstanding television. For the record I think he should be having a go at the rules more than at Cavanagh, 99% of defenders do the exact same there because it's rewarded by the rules.He's only right to an extent. What Cavanagh did was done because the GAA have allowed this position to develop. Legislate for a straight red for that type of professional foul where there is clearly no attempt to play the ball and its gone overnight.
I don't often watch the punditry but that was funny. He'll end up having to apologise for what he said about Kavanagh.
''How could you have a pint with them after what they've done''
Great TV is right though, unsurprisingly Brolly is out to make headlines a bit again. There's no need to call into question "Cavanagh as a man" - if Brolly wants to identify modern problems associated with GAA he should be well advised to reflect on comments like that from pundits which are becoming all too regular.
Not 99% but yes, it happens every other game and is really fecking annoying. The worst thing is (at the risk of blowing our on trumpet) is that teams that play the game properly (like Dublin) get punished more by this element of the rules.
I also know that ye can all cite examples of Dublin cynicism, but we don't employ it the way some sides do.
I think Brolly can be guilty of strategic rage but sometimes incidents really do get to you.
We'll see a different sport now.
99% of the top teams. I remember the Munster final between Cork and Clare where each of the 3 Cork goals could have been prevented by a tug, but the Clare lads clearly hadn't been honed it it like most of the top teams.
95% of Brollys comments are strategic. If they preview tomorrow's games on this show, watch him work those comments around to him agreeing with the shite McGuinness came out with earlier this week about dangerous tackling.
Cullen is an interesting starter, if he gets the time he'll do damage with that youth around him.
I hope the other 60,000 show up for the second game anyway.
Don't agree with Brolly. He says you wouldn't see that in any other sport but that's blatantly not true, even decent players like Solskjaer deliberately foul players in that situation. Rugby is full of cheating that gets passed off as 'clever play'.
If a stranger was watching that match they'd be more shocked at the lack of reaction to players getting punched in the face than by a player getting dragged down.
I find it hard to take Brolly seriously anyway, he's very aware of how necessary it is for him to be entertaining at all times.

In the years before the last Dublin All Ireland I was crying out for some cynicism. We would have beaten Mayo and Cork with more nous. So it's a bit rich me giving out.
I thinks that's more of an acknowledgement from the Dubs that they're not confident about their backs, there's clearly issues there given how much they're conceding. Maybe they should just start dragging lads down all over the shop.
Definitely agree with last paragraph, nicely put.
Solksjaer put his hands up, the way Cavanagh did, but Ole knew he was going, not so in the GAA, so it's the rules. Ole made a choice, Cavanagh took a risk.
