Hefty Bans....

[tyssam5]

Well its just that someone mentioned their father was involved somehow and if for example (not saying this happened cos I don't know) someone was attacking my father in the crowd I'd be over the fench swinging clips in no time.

Would you expect to get away without a ban if you did so?

Trevor Brennan, 5 year ban, but them rugby hoors deserve it?

[Pangurban]

Dont get too exercised about this lads, its just the usual pantomine, heavy fines and suspensions which will be greatly reduced on appeal, leaving the association as a whole looking weak and ridiculous. You could all write the script, watch this space

Bit of a clip of some of this on the BBC news there. Looked ugly with players fighting among the crowd and several men having to be held back from each other at the final whistle. Not the type of scenes that paint our game in a positive light to say the least. 

At first glance on that clip, I can't see any player that did anything wrong (apart from the S'neil players in the crowd at the start).

Just have a wee look at hardman Darren Conway and his big feet at the end of the game

Francis McEldowney - 1 year (Left field)
Fergal McEldowney - 1 year (Left field)

Should these read "Left Field..to fight with spectators"?

Good stuff I was having trouble figuring out why leaving the field was worthy of a ban

Everything will get reduced - see what happened Ardboe in 1988

[Kerry Mike]

I was sent off in a junior game many moons ago for verbals, which got me a month's holiday for my troubles, went to appeal it and was chatting to the local district Chariman who just happened to be from the same club as the referee and I knew them both well.

So says himself to me "yerra Mike what did you say to the referee", and I says "yerra he is only an auld bollix for sending me off and you are turning into one too".

I got another month for my sins, but it was in November and always worth a good laugh.

I'd expect at a Derry championship match there'd be more than enuff muck-savage red-necks in the crowd to handle the fighting themselves without players needing to get involved.

[Doire abú]

I don't think a Tyrone man has any right to be talking like that, sure there hasn't been a club match finished for two years in Tyrone!! 

[the green man]

As SS2 would point out, your grammer is shocking, punctuation needs looked at also.

I'd expect  that a Derry......more than enough missed loads of commas also.

c**k.

Well its just that someone mentioned their father was involved somehow and if for example (not saying this happened cos I don't know) someone was attacking my father in the crowd I'd be over the fench swinging clips in no time.

As i stated on the Derry thread, the two lads who left the field are brothers, they were standing on the sideline, seen their father getting punched in the crowd and thats why they went out.  I also said there wouldn't be a son in derry, maybe ireland who wouldn't have done the same thing.  I'm not condoning it, just stating this so people understand why they went out.

Anyone got a link to the BBC footage?

Go to the Derry club thread - it's on it.

What is this "grammer" you speak of?

As I have said before, I have every sympathy with the Slaughtneil situation, they did not deserve this punishment, another case of the CB over reacting and then pulling in their wings after they have been made to look stupid.
However, THE TWINS DID NOT GO TO HELP THEIR FATHER, THIS IS LIES. THEY CAME OVER THE FENCE TO ATTACK A BALLINDERRY SUPPORTER WHO WAS GIVING THE ONE WHO WAS SENT OFF GRIEF. THERE WAS NOTHING HAPPENING UNTIL THEY JUMPED THE FENCING.
