Replying To TrueBlue35: "Ah sure just gives you lot one less excuse to fall back on later on in the year." Well said True blue brayballer (Wicklow) - Posts: 607 - 26/05/2026 14:10:18 2675743 Link
Replying To CCFabu: "100% it was a ridiculously punitive ban on Brennan and if I was him I'd be absolutely fuming with this. I'm sure he doesn't want Jim banned either but just fairness to be applied. I'm glad of course it makes a big difference to our prospects but it's a headscratcher how they can justify it really" Ger was red carded, Jim wasn't. That's the crux of it. CCCC didn't decide to give Brennan 12 weeks, it's just the standard length for that red card. Same as a 1 game ban for a player is the standard. joeteor (Donegal) - Posts: 266 - 26/05/2026 14:10:41 2675744 Link
Replying To TrueBlue35: "Ah sure just gives you lot one less excuse to fall back on later on in the year." What excuse did Dublin have for being outnumbered at a home Leinster final? Louth will outnunber you again on Sunday. peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 1637 - 26/05/2026 14:11:16 2675745 Link
Hard to ignore the circus that was social media and tv/radio/podcasts etc over the past couple of days. The game was only a couple of hours over, and a Kerry pundit was parachuted into mention JMG in the same sentence as Ger Brennan in a post match analysis. The same analysis mentioned David Clifford for 20 secs, Burns red card for 20 secs and JMG for 3 and a half minutes. Very disproportionate considering the other 2 incidents. Regardless, we can look forward to Donegal and Kerry both getting on with their season now. Im sure Kerry will be just as relieved considering they could have been missing their key man for 2 games... Donegalman (None) - Posts: 3856 - 26/05/2026 14:13:58 2675747 Link
Replying To TrueBlue35: "A new bar has been set so... I guess managers can push players now" Well they definitely can't pull the neck of someone's jersey from the back while ripping their ear piece off and half stand on them while tossing them to the ground. A gentle shove in the chest might be ok if they deserve it. WeGoAgain (Donegal) - Posts: 188 - 26/05/2026 14:19:11 2675752 Link
The Irish Times have a slightly different slant on the news. They are saying that although not mentioned in the Referees Report, that the CCCC can still revisit it. https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/gaelic-games/2026/05/26/jim-mcguinness-diarmuid-oconnor-incident-understood-not-to-be-mentioned-in-referees-report/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook&fbclid=IwdGRjcASCfb9leHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAwzNTA2ODU1MzE3MjgAAR4RrBy0kio56M6r7HNjrxW7YNqmhKk16ns0QMHCXBOB60IgzBponrlOYDj2uQ_aem_YpGgzPhl30P-tdDqH4fIkQ SouthOfTheGap (Donegal) - Posts: 929 - 26/05/2026 14:22:04 2675758 Link

Thats irrelevant.Video evidence counts.Sure Murphy got a card in league final and that was reason they said they could nt do him again..One rule for Dubs another for Donegal brayballer (Wicklow) - Posts: 607 - 26/05/2026 14:27:38 2675762 Link
If Donegal get a home draw in the next round, will Ballybofey be available? Green_Gold (Donegal) - Posts: 1943 - 26/05/2026 14:31:46 2675766 Link

Replying To brayballer: "Thats irrelevant.Video evidence counts.Sure Murphy got a card in league final and that was reason they said they could nt do him again..One rule for Dubs another for Donegal" I think you need to park your obsession with Donegal Dave Brown and look at this a different way that could benefit the Dubs. Surely with no action on Jim, Brennan should consider another appeal? peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 1637 - 26/05/2026 14:50:20 2675776 Link
