Personally I agree with Tyrone Dreamer, that some of the comments have been totally inappropriate, as others have said criticism is one thing but personal abuse should not be acceptable. Also Ardmhachaabu I am a Tyrone man I think is wrong that these bitter personal attacks are spewed out against players from any county. These people are amateurs and most of the time they provide us with great pleasure and pride.

I have been a reader of this board for a great number of years. I have seen many members come and go. Some great posters have been lost. It has struck me recently that when someone does something wrong during a game the abuse hurled at these people is enormous. In the heat of battle I can understand this; however this abuse on the board has become a disgrace. Most people do not know the people being abused. Can we really comment on someone we have never met someone whom we only know through what we have seen on our TV screens?  I know some of the people who have be named on this board over the last 12 months, many did wrong on the field of play but they are people who I know to be decent people who do a lot for their communities. Are the amateur people who bring us joy and pleasure through our games fair game on a discussion board if they do wrong in the field of play? I am not on about constructive discussion. I mean anonymous abuse.
