Violence in Adult Club Football

Anyone see the video from Derry? Cowardice.
Broke the other lad's jaw I think.

Seen a nice clip from the Newbridge Glenullin match last night. As cowardice an action as you'll see. The hit, and then running off to hide.

Both the same

Violence at club level in rugby is practically non-existent.

2 reasons at J2 level and below it's mainly a social game and players just want their run around. Not completely clean though and red cards are issued, shortest suspension for a straight red is normally 4 weeks unless 2 yellows and red card might be deeemed sufficient.

J1 and above, every game is more or less videoed, clubs can cite players for violent acts and provide video evidence.

The disciplinary committee meets every Thursday evening to review all such incidents. These committees always has at least one barrister, there is no spirit of the law, they are pretty ruthless.

As for concussion, the culture in rugby has completely changed. Any suspected head injury and the player is removed.

Con O'callaghan was left on for 10 mins after a heavy blow to the head yesterday. When he eventually did come off he puked his guts up on the sideline. Remind me what vomiting is a symptom of again?

A night on the lash.

An elbow in the gut?

He got a nasty (but deserved) belt in the guts. I'd say that was it.

I'd say O'Callaghan woke up sore this morning. A knee in the chest from Hennelly and an elbow in the chest late on from O'Donoghue which warranted a straight red card.

Watched the Derry club match punch from behind and that was on a different scale, that was outright thuggery.

It was shortly after the elbow to the ribs in fairness that caused him to vomit. Can only have been a sympathy decision based on the scoreboard by the linesman/ref not to send him off.

I thought when he got clattered by the goalie he banged his head on the ground. I was surprised he wasnt brought off then.

That's what I thought, I have never seen anyone get sick from a thump in the guts.

Meh. He didn't get a belt for being a good boy if you watch it. He's a big boy and well fit to dish it out and take it.

Doesn't mean it's not a red card. It seems who you are and/or who you play for now decide how fouls/assaults are judged.
