Armagh Club football & hurling

[mackers]

if he went toe to toe i dont see it classed as a complete dirty act.

you clown it was a complete act of thuggery. now go to your club and get them to name and shame

Ok wanderer, I'll go to MY club in a different county and ask them who did it! Where do you think i hail from?? I understand it was a dirty act, he hit him from behind. What i'm saying is if the injuries sustained by Nugent were of the result of a toe to toe smigging match then it would not be categorised as a dirty act. Simple as.

why do you think i mentioned it, monaghan county and culloville are very close and seem to accept similar behavior and i know theres a bit of cross over of players too. at least you now accept it was a dirty act.

Ah wanderer you have me caught out, sure why didnt you say you knew I was a Monaghan man???
Have you a bit of nervous disposition concerning the free state men after the dribbing they gave you this year???

Remember this;

dessie is a kn**ker on the football field but i hope he plays this year as he will be put to the sword by stevie

You Clown!!!

Clown!!! Some sword Stevie had!!!

What are you raving about?? Dessie Mone getting hauled off after 20 mins was down to the fact that Stevie had given him a light head. One of the few things that Armagh supporters could smile about that day.

Reference the melee in the Cullaville game, that was because of the incident but was quickly stopped after about 30 secs. the player who was assualted never moved for 30 mins from where he fell. Cullaville club are trying to shift blame away from their player as they would. I was at the game and saw what happened. Incidents like this are a sad day for the GAA and Armagh in particular.

i refer you to my previous post...

dirty yellow tramps like this who think they're hard men by hitting someone from behind in this fashion need locking up. nugent will be in for a tough time of it both physically and mentally as there will now be court proceedings to go through and no doubt the cullaville club will be backing their man up to the hilt !

these lies are only the start of it. i've seen it once too often where the offending club will now have some of its more so-called respected members called in to action to come out and cover up the truth, instead trying to twist things around to protect their man. they will be told the lies to come out with and everyone then sticks to their story throughout. this is the reality, which is why this boy i feel needs to do his time.

whats the craic there anyway? do they name seperate squads or is it along the same lines as the B's?

[lurganblue]

I heard a rumour before the start of the season that rico Kelly was looking a transfer away from cross. It obviously never happened but I thought it strange at the time

You have to name different squads though I think you can apply for a transfer between the division so long as it is ratified by the County Board. Junior championship team can include anybody who didn't play Senior championship in 2009 or 2010.

What a tr**p. He was only on a few mins --had he any interest in playin football at all? If not WTF is he doing lining out for a football club.

A few years back i got a similar dig from behind but luckily all i got was a black eye i couldn't see out of for a week. Was ragin about it and still am though never got chance to get revenge on the tr**p.

The problem is though if a back is holding his man he is liable to get an elbow back in his ribs/jaw (although obviously there was no suggestion of this in the incident we're talking about where a tr**p struck a young fella from behind).

But what is a forward meant to do --he's trained his balls off to make the team--the first 3 balls are played in his man is digging/nipping at him and holding him, pullin him back so he's out in front--do you try and play clean and just try to skip out round him to get the ball? Or do you dig him in the ribs to break free before making the run? Do you elbow him in the ribs? Do you elbow back accross his face? Or do you play clean and get called ashore before half time?

It's a issue that needs looked at as BC1 said --i've often been dug at and dug back in ribs etc--but never with any real malice like i want to hospitalise someone--it's often like an unwritten agreement that "we'll dig each other hard here but not our hardest, it's what has always been done and it's what we'll do".

The difficulty is when a back is standing behind a forward, he's nipping at him etc ,a forward digs him/elbows him back to show he's not gonna take it but then the forward is watching the game in front of him--if you get the wrong, mentally unhinged, kn**ker marking you, you may then get a full, knock-out blow to the head from behind that could badly injure you or potentially kill you.

Obviously in this case it was a back who was horrifically assaulted but you know what i mean.

You go out to play a game of football, its ruined by some bollix hangin off you, it's a league game with no neutral umpires, the ref is never gonna see the boy pullin at you (will only ever see your retaliation), you have to use a bit of violence to break free or you'll be whipped off, but where does the level of violence become unacceptable/dangerous/potentially fatal?
