Armagh Club football & hurling

[torres]

I was speaking to a fella who was at the Maghery v Whitecross game yesterday and he said it was one of the worst row's he'd seen on a football pitch, plenty of scuffles & rows during game, but as soon as the whistle went one of the Maghery midfielders (big tall lad)hit one of the Whitecross players from behind. Full row started, managers, subs, the works. Fair enough, but then the gates at the club end were opened to let the ones from the clubhouse on the field. There were close to 20 or more lads with drink in them kicking like fcuk at Whitecross and this went on for a good 10 mins, at one stage there was a Whitecross lad on his ass surrounded by lads wearing jeans WTF is that all about.

Was there any guys here at that match who could give us their unbiased view on what they seen, I've since heard there was a report from the match on Orchard County (I'm not a member so can't view it)

as i stated in an earlier post it was up on the board and then it was wiped , since heard that the maghery midfielder [ not lavery ] would,nt shake hands with c mc sherry and began goading him before hitting him , then the other maghery midfielder [ j lavery ] struck a w-cross player a few of the w-cross half-backs got involved and it kicked on from there . think its time the county board did something about all these incidents weve been reading lately before someone is seriously hurt .

At half time Maghery had 1 red and 4 yellows, all for fouls commited on Wcross number 9.  It was plain to see Maghery's plan was to cause serious injury to this player so that he will be unavailable for the upcoming championship fixture.  Absolute disgrace some of the antics from Maghery players, management, supporters linesman and umpire.
Some incidents include:
*In the dying minutes as Wcross were chasing a goal, the umpire came onto the pitch and kicked a wcross player while on the ground
*When the final whistle was blown Lavery ran up behind Wcross number 9 and punched him in the back of the head (A cowardly sc**bag act from a player who we pay money to watch play for our county!!) This incident resulted in a full scale malee!
*During this malee drink fueled Maghery supporters came onto the pitch and started assaulting any player wearing green, one of whom used a crutch as a weapon!
The referees report would make interesting reading. The county board MUST do something about this!

the 3rd sour incident maghery been involved in this year.  was a 30 man brawl against our b team at the start of the year.  their management didnt help the whole situation coming onto the field and trying to fight with some of our minor players then after the incident had been resolved continued to shout up to our bench that "we where going knowhere and neither was our senior team" waz talking to a st.pauls player lastnight and there was an incident with their b team and maghery last week as well.  if this was cullyhanna there would be alot more said

What at the Clans boys talking about what went on with cullyhanna?

If there were whitecross boys on this board they'd be talking too about it, no one is talking about it because we dont know what happened.

[charlie stubbs]

suppose thats a fair enough point.  just saying that 3 incidents of this nature in a season 3 too many

It shouldn't matter who it is charlie whether it be a spitting incident or a full scale brawl. The spitting incident could have potentially led to a full scale brawl and could also have led to fella's missing senior championship games through suspension. Incidents like this should all be dealt with severly. This maghery incident should also be punished an not left to fester on

Benny i am sure there is happiness in the club now that clown has gone. Maybe that other clown Peter might come back?? please say no.

well from what i heard both teams were at it, not much ball being played, fighting and rowing throughout the game and it obviously boiled over at the end. I wasn't at the match but obviously the whitecross version of events has been given here. however reading what has been said here and from what a maghery man told me it would appear they were the instigators and not whitecross. it makes perfect sense that maghery would try and target whitecross' key players when maghery themselves have a no. of injuries and key men out for their SFC tie. from the tone of the maghery lad i spoke to he gave the impression that maghery were the guilty party and were out to intimidate their opponents, and didn't seem to think anything was untoward with those tactics

Stupid by jp cost the ogs the game which was there for the taking. at least the ogs have given cross 2 hard games.

Dont know JP personally but think hes usually quick with his fists on the filed, have seen him raise them twice this year unpunished although he did get his face busted open after he lifted them in Davitt park. Maybe hes got what hes been asking for all year. So close to championship to - TIT.

Well neither would have county players throwing their weight around, that counts for a lot when it comes to these punishments.
