Armagh Club football & hurling

[pintsofguinness]

you're suggesting that cullyhanna should suspend these lads who are alleged to have been fighting in laceys. a couple of questions...

should every club member who is said to have been misbehaving in their own time be suspended?
should this apply to every club?
is it just for fighting or do you get suspended for adultry, being a bad parent, picking your nose?
who pays the money that will be awarded to those suspended when they take the club to court for defamation of charachter?

I wouldnt dream of telling Cullyhanna to do anything, I think at the very least they could have a look at what happened and, again, at the very least speak to those involved.  If it had been 'bridge players that had done similar I'd want the club to send a very clear message to them that such behaviour wasn't acceptable. 
Adultly, being a bad parent, picking your nose etc is none of the club's business because it has nothing to do with football. 

It's interesting you describe the incident as misbehaving - the second time you've tried to trivialise it.  Why is that?

[Uladh]

Not trying to trivialise it in the least but don't let that interfere with your paranoia. behaviour outside of football is for a higher authority to deal with.

At least you've now reduced your expectations to "having a word" which is realistically the absolute most a club can do in these circumstances.

At the very least I've said - which is what I always thought. 

And you did try to trivialise it with your
"teenagers who row outside a disco" and "misbehaving"

Strange thing to say considering the injuries to the lads and we shouldnt forget Conal wasnt the only one.

I love the use of the word allegedly as well - as if there's some doubt 

[corn02]

How do you suggest the club condone (condem) it Twotwio, a statement in the Irish News?

I think appointing Casey as manager and again and appealing 10 or 11 bans was a clear indication that they don't condem thugs.

[Uladh]

Am i missing something, was it not teenagers fighting outside a disco?

What motive would i have in trivialising it?

You have to use the word allegedly.  anyone beyond those who were there do not know the circumstances for sure until it is proven in a court of law.

[pintsofguinness]

Am i missing something, was it not teenagers fighting outside a disco?

No because Quinn and his mates didn't have a chance to do any fighting.  To say it was "teenagers fighting" or "misbehaving" is a bit like calling it handbags and it's not what I'd call it.

What motive would i have in trivialising it?

I've no idea what your motive is.

[Uladh]

Ok, so it was teenagers fighting outside a disco then?

There's only one of us with motivation to manipulate the situation

[Yes I Would]

Surely by taking them out of division 2, the man deserved to be reappointed, and i would fancy them strongly to lift the championship this year.
Surely if all what you say is true, then there should be ample motivation for your club and senior team to take these boys of their pedastal by playing ball within the rules of the game!! Rantings on here serve no purpose
If you have hard evidence or know someone who has then it should be forwarded to the relevant authorities. regarding this assault
The lads who assaulted this lad deserve to be punished. The nature of the injuries were beyond what you expect from lads of this age and i hope the young fella invloved makes a speedy recovery, but by inferring that their is some conspiracy theory from everyone in Cullyhanna against your club is a little petty.

Who me? How so?

He was re-appointed before he took them out of divison 2.

I didn't infer anything like that and to suggest I did, and try to misrepresent me is petty.

btw Yes I would, what club did you say you were from?

[Yes I Would]

Will then it was a good move to reappoint him, considering the end result was promotion!!

[pintsofguinness]

Yes it's lucky they can see into the future in Cullyhanna. 
The year they reappointed him they were after disgracing themselves in Cross against us (he was sacked during the melee by the chairman - a decent man) and had struggled in the bottom half of division two, narrowly avoiding the relegation playoffs if memory serves me right.  Yes he's done a good job since so it is a good job they have ability to see into the future.

What club did you say you were from?

[doire na raithe]

Taca are we talking about the same cullyhanna.
rose coloured glasses and all that.
mc keever is a very good player but should leave out the high elbows and going in with the knee to a man on the ground.
mackin is an average player how he got so long on the county the lord only knows.
your club has never condoned the thugs within and that a sorry fact.

Jesus Christ this guys an idiot.

myself and twotwocharlie have clashed several times on this thread but I have to ask, again, what in that statement isn't true? (assuming he means condemned). 

I was talking about his grammar and general style of writing, nothing to do with the substance of his or your posts.

[pintsofguinness]

Ah ok.

[Yes I Would]

No need to be childish pints!!
Think its called making an informed decision rather than an ability to see into the future!! For some clubs it will work, for others it wont!
Originally a Dub, but have been livin up here now over 5 years and watch a fair bit of ball between Armagh and Down, mostly championship. Just say it as i see it! Still playin a little Carnbane football, if you could call it that!!
