Assaults at GAA games

[bigarsedkeeper]

Will be appealed and reduced further up the chain. If it is then its really a farce

How do you appeal that? Surely the club will stay out of it. Does anyone know how the club dealt with the incident originally?

Aye but you fellow Antrim refs wouldn't back him up.... 

And yes, he's a big gub, but he/she/they (incase Enoch has got out of the Joy) without sin cast the first stone.

Surely the club/the fella himself would have the sense not to appeal.

ccc propose 96 week ban, for alleged assault at underage game.

Why not a lifetime ban and banned from attending any games?

96 weeks is the maximum.

Ban from standing on the sideline as a manager?

the individual is suspended, nothing to do with the club, the individual can either accept the proposed suspension or appeal it. For an appeal to be successful he will need fresh evidence not presented at the investigation stage which proves he didn't commit the offence to get it reduced

probably appealed incase the psycho goes off on one seems like he has some sort of stranglehold on community

The ref done a disservice to all refs by not taking it to the Garda, a likely reoccurrence if the same to happen somewhere else within 2yrs. As for the Gaa rule book it's a sham, too worried about concerts and money instead of updating the rule book which managers, players, County board take advantage off, used to be there was only one Frank Murphy dodging around the rules, now everybody at it for self gain. Some much for Gaa values of promoting Gaelic games.

The whole GAA community attitude to violence and discipline and punishment is demoralizing and would almost tempt you to say "f**k it" and go do something else. I don't see, amidst all the discussion every year about losing ground to other sports, why people don't see this.

How do you know he hasn't went to the Guards? And if he hasn't then that's his own personal prerogative, not everyone wants that hassle.

Surely first and foremost its the GAA authorities who are doing the disservice to the refs by not hanging this guy out to dry. He shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a pitch again, either inside or outside the wire. Plus he shouldn't have the benefit of any appeals process at all, anyone laying a hand on a ref, or verbally abusing one, shouldn't have the benefit of the appeals process, take what you're given.

Sure I told you I'd make you a half time cuppa next time you're at our place.

Gardaí have confirmed that they are investigating an alleged assault on a referee, which happened after Sunday morning's junior football championship group A fixture at Whiterock Hill, home of St Joseph's in a match between them and Our Lady's Island.

Hope whoever it is is banned from attending games for life.
