My viewing of the incident was that the ball went out of play and hopped over the fence. Hughes came chasing the ball and deliberately pushed the spectator. Looked like he deserved to be punched if that was the case
Yeah just like McManus deserved to get a knee in the balls for the "rugby tackle"
I didn't see the incident, but if a Derry supporter was acting the bollix and holding onto the ball when we needed it back quickly, Hughes had every right to go in and force it from him. As I say I didn't see it but if he pushed him he had a reason to, he's not a dirty player and you'll notice he didn't partake in any of the bullshit on the field that's we're discussing today, I wouldn't think he'd jump into the crowd and push someone for no reason. But punching a player is wrong, I doubt Hughes deserved it if this story is true.

What's the story with this, is this the Darren Hughes incident?
Monaghan player punched by fan - claim
25 May 2009
The Ulster Council is set to investigate allegations that a Monaghan player was struck by a fan during yesterday's ill-tempered Ulster SFC clash at Celtic Park.
The provincial body will review a video of the game in an attempt to identify the spectator who allegedly threw a punch at the player. The incident took place on the Gasworks side of the redeveloped ground midway through the second half.
Derry won a bruising and foul-ridden encounter by 1-10 to 0-10, having lost to Monaghan in each of the past two years.
Monaghan's All-Star forward Tommy Freeman was at the centre of a similar incident early last year when he was head-butted by a Dublin backroom team member after a spiteful National League game in Parnell Park.

Read Barnes piece today myself O'Neill. What i took from it is that he seems to believe that we are not making the most of the talent we have in our backs by playing a forward orientated brand of rugby. Personally, i couldnt give a toss whether its "grand" or not, as long as we win in cardiff next week , as the stats wont say how we played, it will only read.....Grand Slam champions !

Dont think we'll be hearing about it for 2 years though. Instead there'll be a bit of spin about how physical it was.
You're right. Tyrone played a much better brand of rugby that day.
Nice try but Im not reacting to that. My point was that rugby do hype much better than the gaa. Yesterdays match for the most of it was brutal with little happening. Looking at the cusack stand midway through the 1st half and the isles were filled with people heading to the exits for whatever reason and they'd paid 90 euro in. But you'll hear very little about the dreadful 1st half. There's no way it will be talked about for the next 5 years by rugby commentators. I flicked over at half time to rte and they were talking away about the great physicality etc.
Sure u Nordies love that stuff.
We could have a game where every ball was plucked cleanly from the sky and fellas were curling the ball over from the sidelines with the outside of their boot and there would be folk on here lamenting the lack of "intensity".
We might like to see it physical but we also like a bit of action in terms of scores/chances etc. Thankfully I've yet to see a match were there was only 2 scores in over 40 minutes and they were both placed balls in front of the goals.
