We Need To Talk About Dropping The Knees Into Players On The Ground

[Taylor]

A really dangerous act occured on Saturday evening.

Will a retrospective ban be applied or is it only certain players this is for?

Knee drops are cowardly and can cause serious damage, the GAA will stick their heads in the sand.

You can't show that Dinny, you're destroying St. Diarmuid's good name.

Struggling to think of a worse act on a gaa field.

Unlike DC where they nailed him after the event.

It is really getting to the point whereby TSG decide who is banned or what is serious

Happening more and more. But Brolly seemed to think its was ok for Down to do it. He's a two faced gobshite.

Hopefully the GAA take a stance on this. It's not very nice to see it.

They never sanctioned DC for his knee drop.

Build a bridge - move on.

Knee drops are cowardly and dangerous. And yes, I would favour a retrospective ban for a knee drop.

What a filthy scumbucket! Should have got 2 years ban for that.

Will Saturday night be ignored because TSG didnt say there should be a ban?

2 years? Should have been a life ban. A deliberate knee to the back of the head, which is the most vulnerable part of the head, could have caused the most serious of consequences. A spineless, scurrilous act. It's an awful pity Kinsella gave Connolly a yellow as it meant it couldn't be revisited.

Looks like it'll be a while before that bridge is actually built.

Write a strongly worded letter to TSG asking them why it was ignored.

Were you listening to the qualifier draw this morning?

They interviewed the man from CCCC to get his thoughts on Jim Gavin's claim that the CCCC are biased by what The Sunday Game picks up on.
The CCCC man said that "he totally refuted that, and that TSG has no bearing on what incidents the CCCC look at on the Monday".

So that's that cleared up then 

[AZOffaly]

I laughed when he said that. It's fairly obvious that the Sunday Game has a completely unmerited place in the GAA disciplinary process. I just posted about the NFL commissioner being guided by public opinion, and I'd say a lot of the GAA high profile hearings are influenced by the soapbox the 3 stooges have.

That's the only thing that I feel sorry for Connolly about. He deserves his ban, he can't push a linesman, but if it was done in a National League division 3 or 4 game, it would never have seen the light of day in the circumstances. (Of course if the ref sent him off in a Div 3 game, he would get the proper suspension).

Didnt hear it Smokin.
Well sure if the CCCCCCCCCC said that it must be true 

I expect there will be a ban coming for the incident on Saturday night then?

In an incident like that though, surely the yellow card was for the 'afters'?
If the referee had seen the original incident its a red card all day long by anyone's interpretation.
