Commiserations to a gallant Senior Team who were defeated in the All Ireland semi final on a scoreline of 1-10 to 0-07. Everybody involved have their parish and county proud. we wish Clonbur the best of luck in the final.

What a bunch of sad, whinging b**tards. Glad they got tanked.

That was an unwise comment alright. No need to mention Clonbur at all in it. As I said, emotions were high yesterday.

Shit, she might be related to AZ.

No, she isn't.

Seemed strange alright. Why would you do to Dromid games in the Munster Championship, if you were from Offaly, but had no connections to Dromid? At least ye know my connections

The incident has made the bbc news. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/northern_ireland/gaelic_games/16689009.stm

Wasn't at the game myself but Dromid played some lovely stuff in the true Kerry style, a magnificent display of the pure skills of gaelic football. Isn't it about time Northern Ireland had a separate association, so they can bate each other stupid and get more Protestants to play?

Blown out of all proportion again id imagine. Championship game, tensions run high, a bit of a dust up happens all the time.

AZOffaly · January 23, 2012, 04:58:42 PM

Apparently the news at 6.1, and TV3 at 5.30 will have footage of the 'incidents'.

There wasn't much word of GAA action on last Monday night's BBC news after a full weekend of Mc Kenna cup fixtures, with huge attendances. Although they manged to squeeze in a good 7 or 8 minutes of soccer and rubgy, rowing, athletics.

You can always rely on the good old BBC to continue to play their part.

If what I heard is halfway true, then this was more than that. A humdinger by all accounts, but a bit one sided as well. Sure maybe the news will show us more.

Police and GAA chiefs are expected to investigate the violence which broke out at a junior level game involving Tyrone club Derrytresk on Sunday.

It has been reported that a player on the opposing Kerry team Dromid Pearses was concussed when a brawl happened just before half-time at Portlaoise.

Officials and substitutes from both sides are believed to have been involved in fighting on the pitch.

The match was an All-Ireland Junior Footbal Championship semi-final.

It is understood the concussed player, midfielder Thomas Curran, was not able to play the second half and that Kerry star Declan O'Sullivan was struck by a handbag during the fracas. Dromid selector and Kerry county board officer Diarmuid O Se ~~whinged like f**k~~ complained about a lack of security for players at the neutral venue and called on the GAA to look at available video evidence.

Derrytresk won the game 1-10 to 0-7 and are scheduled ~~to bate the bejaysus out of~~ play Galway side Clonbur in the All-Ireland junior final on 12 February.

Officially declared "handbags"

I may have doctored some aspects of the BBC story but the handbag bit is actually true.

The responses to this story from most of the northern posters here reinforces the view that there is no appetite in Ulster to stamp out this kind of thuggish behaviour. Most seem content to let it continue and don't see it as a big deal.

Personally, I think it's an embarrassment to the GAA and if it's allowed to continue it's only a matter of time before someone is up in court and ends up with a prison sentence for assault.

Is there any dignified way to respond to being belted with a handbag (by a woman)?

Knowing them Tyrone wans, she probably had a few lead weights sewn into the lining.

ONeill · January 23, 2012, 08:04:38 PM

I'm told on good authority that the woman's handback was lighter than normal that day and that if it had been a Tuesday or Thursday he'd know about it.
