Armagh Club football & hurling

[illdecide]

I hear that young Nugent lad got an awful doing in Culloville. He was struck from behind and knocked out. There was blood everywhere. Ambulance men reckon the injuries are of such an extent that they are more consistent with an elbow rather than a thump to the face. Broken jaw and a broken bone in his chin and a number of missing teeth. He's going for an operation today.  He's only 19 years of age, ironically the same number as his alleged attacker. We all wish him well and I hope he sues the coward who attacked him. There's nothing sporting about a cowardly unprovoked attack from behind on an unsuspecting youngster

I know it's not the way to handle it but i'm very surprised the Maghery men let that go, those are the type of incidents that usually spark off a free for all. It's a pity the Culloville coward didn't get a taste of his own medicine.

Hope the young Maghery cub makes a full and speedy recovery

Agreed - Culloville will want to watch themselves as these incidents are becoming quite frequent!

they should be banned for the rest of the season plus championship , something along those lines should be the  deterdent for  they,re thuggary ways  .

Heard the full extent of that lad's injuries and its nothing short of a disgrace, and nor is it surprising that Culloville were the guilty party. I'm all for hard hitting football and know that at times melees can break out, but there is no excusing a young player getting the head pulled off him.

I also hear the No.19 promptly jumped into his car and cleared off, spineless ****. County board should act accordingly, the ref should have the player's name and if he himself is not punished then Culloville should face a hefty sanction.

On the incident in the Culloville/Maghery game, pure cowardly spineless bastard. If you were on the same team as the attacker would you not him a slap yourself, team mate or not.

On another note I would like to congratulate Armagh minor hurlers. I hope they give the final a good rattle. These lads have done the county proud this year

no 1 was sent off and the coward who done it got offside as soon as he could but the lad was in such bad shape the maghery lads were more worried about his safety than anything really he was that bad it looked like he was shot there was that much blood on the ground his jaw broke in 2 places,chin bone broke and his gum split open along 1 side of his mouth resulting in a few operations in dundonald . the match was in maghery and both the players and management have to take great credit for their behaviour at this time.

Was all this done with one thump? Surely not?

Good luck to the lad, hopefully will get back on the field soon.

Wish young Nugent all the best, met him at a wedding recently and the young lad is just football mad, leveled head chap who certainly doesn't need the like of this....I have lost count now the number of incidents that Cullaville have been involved in not only this year but the past few.......County board have to get their finger out here....

Would i be right if other clubs throughout the county feel the same??

[true]

i see Nab v Tones set for Thursday night anybody know why?

[Seany]

I wonder will they even have the gumption in Culloville to make contact with the lad and express their apologies for what happened.  Probably asking too much from them.  Kevin Nugent had a brilliant year with the monirs last year winning an ALl ireland for his county.  ANd this is his reward.  Typical begrudging jealous bastards we have in this country. 

COunty needs to do what derry did last year on Ballinderry - makie them name the player and if they dont't, throw the book at them,. 

[IVEDECIDED]

Id give Culloville the chance to act accordingly first - by making all details of the player and incident available to the county board. If they dont comply then Id throw them out of all senior competitions this year.

It should go further than the County Board.

Totally agree.  Its expected that players will pick up the odd injury at matches, but thats unreal.  There cannot possibly be any way that it can be excused or condoned.
Why did the referee not do something about it once the lad was with the paramedics?

The player responsible should never be allowed to grace gaa grounds again.  He is guilty of ABH - if this had happened anywhere other than a football ground, he would have spent the night locked up.

[illdecide]

If I'm totally honest about the whole incident, if that lad was my son I'd be in Cullaville waiting on that thug and give him a taste of his won medicine. I know thats not the right way to approach it but he'll prob get away Scot free and more than likely bumming and blowing to his mates for doing it...Still can't believe the Maghery men let that tr**p out, they should have beaten him senseless or at the very least restrained him and taken him to the cop-shop but he shouldn't have been allowed to get away out of that ground.

[pearseog]

lowest of the low! the lads only 19 and he still had to hit him from behind! f**kin thug! should be suspended for life and i hope maghery or nugent sue the ****! i know we dont want to see fights breaking out in our game but this is one of these incidents where the coward should have been beat senseless! fair play to the maghery lads for not reacting and putting young nugent first!
