Shane King finally cleared by the Gaa

[T O Hare]

he should be allowed to play.. the ban should have stopped when he was proved innocent
but i cant see him being invloved.. too big of a game

[Maximus Marillius]

Surely he must have a recourse of action and be able to 'sue' for damages?

[nrico2006]

Exactly, it was June when he was cleared by the courts so why the wait until now to allow him to play again.  It's a joke! Too many idiotic topics like this are appearing on this forum recently!!

[believebelive]

i know all charges were cleared but surely they should have left it until the end of the footballing calender?!?

It is statements like this that make me believe in dictatorships - sweet suffering jesus how can some people be so wrong!

[bailestil]

On what grounds was he actaully banned from playing football?
Is there actually anything in the gaa handbook to deal with something like this?

[orangeman]

There was probably a statement from the PPS saying that there was no evidence. Nowhere does it say that this man was wronged and falsely accused - neither was there a public apology.

[orangeman]

Sure he's an innocent man - why wouldn't he play for God's sake  ?

I don't think the question is really appropriate.

[southdown]

Absolutely disgraceful. I wouldnt think he will play GAA again, probably feels bitter towrads the GAA after the way he was treated.

I know the man. He's a great lad and a gentleman. GAA is his life. I understand why the Down Board reacted the way they did but the GAA should have reacted as quickly when the facts were reveiled. Go on Shane your a fine man. Get over it and get back playing.
