Up The Middle

I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

Is a lifetime ban a bit harsh? A brutal, cowardly belt, but would a year not have been sufficient?

This is not Offaly, brother, is it? ;D

Are you practicing for a spell on the Cork County Board?

Seriously lads? Maybe I'm completely off base, but while it was a completely dispicable assault, would ye ban him for life?

Jail might have been in order for a bit of GBH, but I'd have said a years ban would be a fair punishment.

Cowardly act and to be honest deserves a long term ban, maybe 2 years, but the reality is that it would not have done any real damage to the lad he hit.  He walloped him in the middle of the back and bar some stud marks and maybe a cracked rib your man will be alright.  GBH me arse!

Thank God someone agrees with me. I thought I'd woken up as a mad Meath Man for a while.

Why do soccer lads always fight like that - jumping with the feet
Every time you open your mouth you have this wonderful ability to continually confirm what I think.

lifetime ban seems harsh, dirty action and gave your man no chance but 48 week suspension would be the norm surely...

right enough it was all kicks and boots not one dig threw - headers

I saw more entertaining encounters than that on our home pitch. One day there was full set of one-on-one/two-vs-two punch-ups going on and everybody was so engaged in their own set-to that nobody noticed that the opposition had departed from the spirit of the occasion and three of the subs had ganged up on our goalkeeper, who was getting tullyallen bet out of him down at the bottom of the pitch. Nobody except one of his mates on the sideline, who jumped in his car and careered down the pitch, where he opened the passenger door, gave a shout and the goalie sprinted to safety. That was before we ever heard of navy seals and nobody got shot or anything.

Good job it wasn't our old keeper - if he had to 'sprint' to safety anywhere he would be in big diffs  :D
