[Women abusing men does not create suicide]

Women abusing men does not create suicide

In Ireland, 1 in 3 women have experienced psychological violence from a partner at some point in their lives and 1 in 6 have experienced physical or sexual violence by a partner since the age of 15.

That's a  staggering figure

not getting into an argument, we all know that there is an enormous problem, especially here, of men abusing women. However you cannot say the boldened part with any certainty

Most suicides are down to mental health issues like depression that have always been there, is there a trigger that can set these off? Yeah course they can, and can a abusive relationship be a trigger, most definitely, but depression is something I feel is there, I can be wrong on this btw, way before we have relationships, jobs, and other pressures, So I'll take that back and say yes, a bad relationship can trigger someone (who has mental health issues)  to take their own life

a fair reply

I know you're not great at comprehension, or anything else really, but I figured even you would know the meaning of the word "supposed". It appears my expectations were set too high again, despite the fact you'd actually acknowledged the allegation of sexual assault in your previous post.

Tell me, in your view, if the alleged act was indeed consensual, at what point in the hierarchy of Armagh football does it make you a horrible enough **** to acceptably be put off the panel? I mean, could you ride Geezer's wife if she was up for it and still have dickheads like you on the internet coming out to try and explain it away?

You do know he's off the panel don't you?

[Alleged assault]

I see that assault was on one of the players girlfriends. Are these wags getting free trips abroad too? Another reason why I won't be giving any more money to the GAA. The thought of paying players holidays is bad enough but the girlfriends? Even if you just give money to your local club you are probably still funding holidays.

Alleged assault.  The clubs were asked to part with £2k to assist with funding the holiday which thought was poor form from the Co Board.

Nothing happened then?

We don't know of course. But because something happened does not mean that it was not consensual at the time, even if it seemed unwise the following day.

We don't know...

And that's where it should end? Not sure what the rest of your post means

Poorly thought out anyway

What is poorly thought out? Something happened, one person there says it was assault, one person says that it was consensual.

Just think the last bit was not needed. Should have ended after the first sentence

Rian was training this week with the team.

The big news was that Aaron Kernan wasn't.

And Clarke? Haha

Ive been rewatching Luther. Very enjoyable

Sure whatever you don't know just make it up...stop speculating and posting whatever some other clown told you he done or is doing. Who cares, he's one player and whatever happens or whatever the reason for him being missing is his business and Armagh football will continue with or without him.
He's a great footballer but he's one man and if he's gone then it's an opportunity for another lad to step up and take his place, if RON comes back into the camp at a later date then great. Either way I don't really care that much, I used to get annoyed about Jamie Clarke and Armagh etc but maybe it's an age thing now where I don't get too bothered about who's off the panel and who's gone AWOL.

This. I remember the annual will he won't he with Clarke. I'm too old now for that nonsense

They're an intermediate team. Why should they be forced to play in a reserve leave which, as things stand, they would be much too good for

I don't want them to play in a reserve league. If you read my comments on this topic I've always advocated for seconds teams being able to play in the All County League set up if that's what their club wants to do.
I've said they should play in a revamped reserve championship as they are reserve teams. Whether they play intermediate at present, or not, they're still a reserve team. My reference to the junior championship was not CE specific, obviously.

I know you're not having a go at CE. But if they played a reserve championship where is the scope for improvement? Win the reserve championship year in year out? I hate does that achieve? I can see where the junior teams are coming from but let's be honest, it's not CE or cross who have been stopping teams like Lissummon or whoever from winning junior championships

My club is Clann Eireann. I'm a bit biased but I don't see a reason to change it as it is.
As it happens, I won a reserve championship, of B as it was back then, many years ago and enjoyed it. Had I had the chance to play in the junior league and championship, I would have bit your arm off for it. People saying a junior championship doesn't mean that much to a senior club are mistaken.

There had to be a change given there was talk of an additional 4 or 5 seconds teams entering the league and championship. The junior championship already had 17 teams last year, increasing that to 20+ teams would be ridiculous. Lissummon's proposal wouldn't be the change I'd have opted for, but it was passed fair and square. For as long as we link the leagues and championship structures, then the addition of a junior B championship for the teams in the junior B league might have been a better solution than the convoluted one we've ended up with.

I take your point about junior championship success meaning something to a senior club, but your sentence makes my point for me i.e. a senior club competing in a junior championship. A reserve championship that caters for reserve teams is the logical solution.
I've no doubt the lads who win a junior championship are delighted when it happens, but there's no way it means as much to Cross or Clann Eireann as a club to win a junior championship, in comparison to Clady, Mullabrack or Corrinshego.

CE are a senior club. CE seconds aren't a senior team
