Is the Indo going after Tyrone GAA?

[Over the Bar]

Im sure if you dredged through 40 years of disciplinary incidents from any county you could put together a  decent rap sheet.

Is "attempt a whatabout to distract from the point" the first rule in the Tyrone propaganda ministry's PR handbook or something?

No the first rule is we humiliate the GAA toilet brush that is Roscommon...

[Puckoon]

Someone asked a question a page back if the article has a point about the lack of discipline in the GAA - Yes it does.

However the author has leveled the charge at Tyrone - whilst using two examples of ill discipline in national club games involving teams from Kerry and teams from Tyrone. There's no accusation leveled at Kerry, on the whole or even in these individual circumstances. Just Tyrone.

So to answer the original question - not just the Indo is going after Tyrone and I think that's exactly what Peter Canavan referenced. By all means stamp out violence and thuggery in the games, but don't be naïve enough to think the be all and end all is way up north in old Tyrone.

In addition, what frankly sticks in the craw is that Dermot Crowe doesn't give one flying fcuk about Barney Horisk, or Paddy Hughes, or their families.

It's quite a gutter tactic to draw attention to a conversation that is already in full flow.

Edendork certainly don't come out of this article in a good light.

Obviously, the reputations of carrickmore, cookstown, ardboe and a few others go before them.

Making friends were ever they go..

Carrickmore were always hard bastards. Played on the edge but were never a dirty team. Hard yes. Dirty no.

Absolute gutter trash writing. No thought for the people of these families.

So they ignore the only fatality on an Irish sports pitch in an article about on field violence?

I'll ask the question again.
Was anyone brought to justice for killing Paddy Hughes?

Paul Mulhare died playing for Dublin in the National Hurling League in 1985.

In 1929 the Crossmaglen Rangers' Jamesy Kernan (uncle of Joe Kernan) died in hospital from injuries sustained in an on-field clash with Cavan Garda Jim Smith during an Ulster semi-final at Belturbet. Smith was charged with murder, but the case was dismissed.

Always heard my father talk of that case.

Some background http://www.hoganstand.com/forum/details/19476

The death of John Joe O'Reilly in 1952 was attributed to an injury he had suffered in a club game in Kildare earlier that year, from which he never properly recovered.

It was 1977 in Northern Ireland. A very different place than today.

Accident.... Lots of people have dropped dead too.

Nobody else has died after being gutted by an opponent.
