Davy Byrne

The suggestion that Kieran McGeeny in any way is training a team to use MMA techniques during a GAA match, not only borders on the insane, it is also skirting up to libel. People need to be careful.

He actually does but strictly as means to get back on your feet if you find yourself on the ground.

Most of us can tell what happened here. The lad from Ballymun started it with the usual verbals, the Armagh player hit a few digs and then there was a bit of a scurmish. It's unfortunate that it has resulted in nasty injuries but we need to sort out the mouthing in the game.

Do us a favour and shut up.

It's more plausible than the original report

There's a few other little things included in that. It's not just getting back to your feet but players have been shown moves to pin their opponent if they both fall to the ground. They get up quickly and hold their opponent down by placing their knee across their chest, this locks one of the opponents arms under the knee also. From here the player can chose a few options. 1. Leave it that and both players get up. 2. Place one of their hands around the opponents neck. 3. Throw a few digs into the opponents face.
It's not the most technical explanation of things but you see what I'm saying.

Davy Byrne has already been named, which makes comments like Teo/Don't Matters actionable, if not against a brave keyboard warrior like himself with his multiple identities, then against the board itself.

The amount of stupid trolling on this board is beyond belief.

This is most likely what happened, why else the silence from the Dublin side? Even the herald had to change their story.

What's actionable about it? I've presented my theory, it seems to be backed up by behaviour from the Dublin side.

Right then, let's all sit around making up theories and defaming players already named in the media.
Nobody on this forum knows whether Davy Byrne said anything. Why then would anybody think it was okay to write that he did? Ridiculous.

[Teo Lurley]

Players don't go around punching others for no reason. My theory is that verbals were said. Do people really believe an Armagh player just started throwing punches unprovoked?

Apologies

No, but you have no idea what he said, did, didn't do or didn't say. So you shouldn't be 'theorising' with a named player on a forum like this.

Right, I've edited to say verbals instead.

Do you get punched often?

Heard a completely different version of events that what is being alluded to here. Regardless, those speculating on what who said/did to what need a good toeing.
