Armagh Club football & hurling

[crossfire]

Cross were playing against the breeze in the first half but got 2 goals in the first 10 mins to go 8-2 up. Shanes fought back and were only 2 behind at the break

They closed the gap to 1 after about 10 mins but then Cross got their 3rd goal and pulled away after that to win comfortably in the end

Under 16 Championship.

Cross 3-14  Shane O' Neills 1-09.

Shanes won the corresponding league game last week by 10 points.

think the league result was due to the wily crossmaglen management fielding a somewhat understrength team knowing the championship was coming this week.

why is the u21 final changed?? havent heard anything about that..

What happened?
If it's a case of some lad lying on the ground and this cnut runs over and boots him in the head, then he shouldn't be on a pitch ever again.

Like Sambo....

Absolutely raging with that result.  Cudnt get up to watch it cause of work.  Was expecting big things from this team this year especially cause there's a lot of talent from feile teams coming through.

O there is a big difference between that twat Quigley and Ollie Hearty, Hearty may not be a good ref but at least he's not out on a power trip every time he goes on the field. Quigley couldn't be a footballer and obviously got bullied at some stage of his miserable life so he decides to take up refeering so he can get his own back on a few guys who slapped him about when he was a child. I told you before if Quigley spoke to people on the street the way he does on a pitch he'd recieve another few of those beatings he got when he was younger...

See, you are in no position to object to what anyone says about a ref.

You're arrogant like him Pints. R u sure you're not related to him...

shouldnt there be a life time ban for any cnut that throws a punch?

[umgolaarmagh]

if that was the case then there would be few players around

No common sense most prevail but in the Tir Na Nog incident a lifetime ban ie required. No thug should be allowed back onto a gaelic field if he kicks someone on the head whilst they are lying on the ground. Especially when they are doing it at underage. What will he be like when his taws drop.

[corn02]

But that is exactly DnR point. If it is a lifetime ban we will never know if he regrest his mistake. Five years could be sufficent and maybe a bit harsh.

He might just get a two year ban but i seriously think he'll have to join another cluib as i doubt tir na nog will let him back. However, the young fella who got the kick was no saint either. He was rrunning about the field battering people and there mjst have been 5 off the ball incidents involving him. Him and the "accused" were fighting,he got knocked to the ground and the boot followed. Typical of a dirty streetfight and theres no place for it on a pitch in the GAA or any other sport mind you.

so what length of ban did the other guy get?

[winsamsoon]

Corn i am not interested whether five years down the line he feels sorry for what he did. My concern is for the safety of other players especially the lad that took the boot to the face. I don't see why the GAA should go out of it's way to accomodate a guy who carried out this act of thuggery. The lad in question doesn't deserve any other chances IMO. Maybe that is just me but very rarely does a leopard change it's spots.

[corn02]

If murderers get a second chance when getting out of jail surely somewere in the five year region is suitable. Young and stupid, hopefully he will grow and regret his actions and if he does, wouldn't it be a shame if he NEVER got the chance to play again.

[Uladh]

A lifetime ban is 96 weeks under GAA rules

[doire na raithe]

My point is, when deciding on punishment we must be rational. Firstly, punishment should not be affected in anyway by the victims injuries. Who should be punished more severely, a player who kicks a another in the head while lying on the ground but the victim suffers no injury, or a player who shoulders another in the chest and the victim suffers serious lung injuries and complications and dies? A big part of the gaa is to give young people some structure and discipline, not to just abandon them because they have made a mistake.
