Ah but in all seriousness. He was down on the sideline,

When? AFAIK he was not on the sideline and did not leave the stand enclosure untill half time! These cowboys who are incharge of running our games are doing their best to ruin them............power struggle of the highest order and the suits are to blame! What did the GAA ever do without the cccc? A total pain in the arse and a joke- their appeals system is nonsense too. Jobs for the boys.

I'd have to agree with you there - there's no way the scene should have been revisited. Do we really have to imitate rugby and soccer all the time ?

Most of the suits especially in Ulster are against pay for play ? Isn't that right ?

Well, could it be that they are now taking the view, that the players are now getting paid to play and therefore should be more responsible

Maybe

Maybe not

I didn't think he appealed...... Did he?

Never mind Screen, I just saw it. I'm surprised they appealed. It was never likely to be overturned

having not read all nine pages of comments but the ref dealt with it on the day so that should be it.

are we at a stage when the ref is there to make up the numbers

They have opened a right Hornets nest here. Expect trouble further down the line this Summer, the Lawyers, barrack room or genuine will be very busy. The real casualty here is common sense, which seems to have received a life ban
