That reads like a Kerry apology, goes with the Kerry character assassination.

You might want to take a break from the computer. When posts become this nonsensical I would worry for your health.

He's hardly going to go out and blatantly show favouritism for one county over another. Its the biggest stage for him, he'll want to go out and give a good performance for his career. Bon (Kildare) - Posts: 1893 - 15/08/2019 22:19:16 2226207 Link 2 |
Like I said, I'll say no more now on it as there's no point. It's just another pothole placed in front of Kerry on the road to trying to stop an inevitable 5 in a Row. You lied -:) superbluedub (Dublin) - Posts: 2837 - 15/08/2019 22:22:09 2226209 Link 3 |
But that's the problem hes a Meathman in name not that n reality. He works and lives in Dublin and is involved in Dublin GAA. Imagine the furore in Tipp if Quinn appointed a supposedly Waterford ref who happened to work and live in Kilkenny. Simple it would not happen.

Eamon should have been concerned about some of the stupid mistakes he made while managing Kerry and stop worrying about the Ref. He took off players who were playing well and in the process lost the matches.

The Dublin monolith is all powerful. Both the President and Ard-stiurthoir belong to Dublin clubs. Aibrean (Kerry) - Posts: 263 - 16/08/2019 10:33:38 2226295 Link 3 |
The umpires are all relatives of his from Meath too. Do you seriously think they all love the Dubs? I mean it's a guess but I doubt it.

Flip that statement and its reads a the story. Tyrone/Dublin complain about Deegan and are now telling Kerry people they shouldn't complain about a ref. Hypocrisy

To be perfectly honest, i wouldnt be bothered if the ref had a cottage on top Cnoc na Toinne and won Kerry person of the day, on goat crown day. I mean that sincerely. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4441 - 16/08/2019 11:34:07 2226333 Link 2 |
Ahh yes the 2016 ghost goal with a Meath man on the post.. that was a right beaut of a 50/50 call that day that went Kerry's way. A 3 pt call.. jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20587 - 16/08/2019 11:42:34 2226335 Link 4 |
Well, it will never arise, so you are safe enough. Was that not awfully stupid then of Dublin to displace the Kerry referee? But, I do not think they are stupid so why did they do it? I have asked that fairly simple question here before but no one seems to have an answer. Odd that. Aibrean (Kerry) - Posts: 263 - 16/08/2019 11:55:52 2226343 Link 2 |
Probably was stupid to be fair on Dublins behalf, but Dublin did a lot of stupid things pre the Pat Gilroy era to be honest. Masters of grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory, not fulfilling potential and make poor decisions behind the scenes. Many books have been written about it. I wouldn't be in favor of internal or external pressures and shenanigans being broaugt to bear on referrers i wouldn't be in support of Kerrys actions this week, nor be in favour if Dublin have done this in the past. I dont always agree with everything Dublin do, but would say we have been immaculate as a county since Gilroy, we have evolved beyond such things, speaking wholly in my own opinion. The abiding legacy of this weeks events and what i am pleased about, is it very publicly conveys the tension and anxiety of Kerry generally in the build up to this mate, it gives a sense of the emotion and fears on tender hooks down the southwest. I like this as we are a great white shark a thimble full of blood in the water and we move stealthily to exploit the weakness. You will hear nothing fro the Dublin camp, zero, silent assassin mode activated. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4441 - 16/08/2019 12:11:20 2226353 Link 6 |
The ref problem/issue has nothing to do with David Gough. It is the GAA that are wrong. Too many refs who have strong connections with a county will give them the 50/50 call, its only natural, we all would. The GAA have now made the final about a ref. If Galway were in a hurling final would the GAA give the whistle to a person from north Clare who works/socialises in Galway City? maroondiesel (Mayo) - Posts: 1193 - 16/08/2019 12:12:54 2226356 Link 5 |
You do realise the President is elected by County delegates! He is not Vladimir Putin or a Kerry Councillor, where he is from is irrelevant or are all people from from Dublin to be exclude from the GAA? And in this shameful episode a man from Meath who works in Dublin! It is disgraceful and slanderous on a man's character.

The effort by Dublin posters here to turn this into a 'poor David Gough, his integrity being questioned, this is disgraceful' topic is pathetic. BliainanÁir (Laois) - Posts: 598 - 16/08/2019 12:43:25 2226373 Link 6 |
I agree that refs from a neutral provinces should be used for All Ireland Finals but Gough is probably the best ref we have at the moment, funny how Eamonn Fitz brings up the 2016 All Ireland semi final decisions, didn't hear him say anything in 2014 when the referee Cormack Reilly robbed Mayo blind in Limerick.

You are spot on.... David Goughs integrity was never called into question here as he is one off the better refs we have but those who made this decision to appoint him for the Final are proof that dimwits run this organization.. The GAA have put him in a no win situation which can only affect his performance on the day...!

Swings and roundabouts. I think that there isn't a single county out there that leaves a ground at least once a season, if not every other game, complaining about a big refereeing decision or a ref who was consistently biased against their team. No team are exceptions to this rule. David Gough is the best ref we have. He is fair, and doesn't try and balance the books with strange decisions. The only game that he was scrutinised for recently was the Donegal mayo match in castlebar, when the weather conditions were absolutely impossible. Good luck to him, best wishes to him, fair play to him for being a great servant to the GAA. Eamon Fitzmaurice was the beneficiary of some favourable refereeing decisions over the 2010's no question about this. Donegalman (None) - Posts: 3830 - 16/08/2019 13:15:17 2226389 Link 1 |
