McKenna Cup 2024

All the media hysteria was focused on A Tyrone lad goading a player about the death of his father - some very well payed media personalities where given air time to viewing not only opinions on the matter but stating that they new for a fact.

This did not take place and I have yet to hear an apology from the media people involved for not only adding fuel to the fire but also putting a young lads reputation and life in jeopardy by publically backing this theory which was made up by Declan Bonner!

This involved a juvenile - It's just a pity no one was took to court.

Did sledging take place WT4E?

I believe so. I don't like sledging and don't agree with it but my point is and always has been the media running with a story based on hearsay relating to a juvenile who was subjected to online abuse about something he did not do.

What is your opinion on that Walt?

Young males are vunerable at that age and whilst the likes of Martin Carney and Declan Bonner are laughing all the way to the bank its the young lads family that have to pick up the pieces and support the lad in question!

But don't let get in the way of a good old Tyrone Bashing!

So you're very worried about this sensitive tyrone lad but not too worried about the Donegal lad who he spent the entire game sledging not too long after the death of his father. That's why it will continue in tyrone just like the diving. When tyrone people sledge and dive they end up being portrayed as the victims by tyrone people while other people around the country rightly criticise their actions.

I was also worried about the Donegal lad - I don't agree with sledging I've said that.

If I was a Donegal supporter I would be questioning why their minor manager used wrong information to report to the media on several occasions which put undue stress on two juveniles and has he has yet to apologise!

Fair enough, Bonner was wrong, he put undue pressure on the 2 lads.

[Walter Cronc]

Totally wrong for any juvenile to be accused of wrong-doing in the media spotlight. Hindsight is a great thing and looking back Bonner should have dealt with it internally.

My concern is more around this acceptance that sledging is part of the game. Yes while it may take place it should never be part of our games, and it is something that we all have a responsibility to tackle.

So we agree??

THANK GOD!

Yes we agree - for now

I don't think even that's possible

Indeed, I'm glad that the mods have agreed with me that all types of insults made against players are inadmissible here. Not just those which are unpalatable to our red hand brethren.  Hopefully that will put an end to the needless abuse that has been emanating from them.

Damien Barton on the slide tackle last week?...........

"It was an incident that thankfully you don't see very often."

Barton added that he "couldn't speak" after the game such was his upset about the incident.

"I think it affected the mood of all of us.

"It overshadowed for me what was a positive night for football.

"I think the amount of respect that was shown between Derry and Tyrone was very evident but it's one of those things I'll let people make up their own minds about."

Ah yes, more of the abuse.  How perfectly you illustrate my point.  Well done.
