Which was worse Meath men, Riceys antics as horrible as they were or your much vaunted full back breaking Murphys fingers in the handshake before the match?

I'm still scratching my head about this one.

Canavan was holding his head

Was this when he hurt his ankle?

It's hard to keep up with all the savagery against Tyrone over the years!

But as you quite rightly pointed out. Didn't nearly take the head of PtG, just wrecked his ankled in the brutal of fashions.

I was talking about Dublin keep scratching that head in confused indignation...

Newsflash - Mc Menamin is to appeal his 6 week ban.

Hardly any surprise there ?

Tyrone Dreamer · February 23, 2009, 06:45:39 PM

He's right to appeal, a 4 week ban would have been plenty for something that was silly more than anything else. Also as discussed on another thread the inconsistant use of video evidence is very annoying.

tyssam5 · February 23, 2009, 06:47:06 PM

Yeah I think 6 weeks or 8 even would be fair for an action like that. But it's another example of one rule for all not being applied, didn't the ball poking hurler get 4 weeks and Paddy Campbell 4 weeks? It's only that fact that it would be 4 games that would have caused an appeal to be lodged, the time based and not game based suspensions has beena joke for a long time.

Six weeks for sexual assault seems a bit lenient!!

Is that speaking from personal experience ?

i was being sarcastic in repsonse to peoples claims that it was an assault of that nature! Maybe i dont use enough smiley faces in my posts!

Should have been six months.

I believe an article from Billy Keane was posted earlier in this thread, perhaps, for the sake of consistency of course, this great defender of liberty and fairness can now pen a piece in defence of the boul' Riceman.

"Croke Park are excellent on dogma. They didn't break any rules, but they broke ~~Galvin's~~ Ricey's heart with their rigid enforcement of the code. I hope our boys give them their answer and go on to win Sam."

Disgraceful decision. This perverted action deserves more than a paltry 6 weeks. Another example of the Northern media defending the indefensible and getting their fella off.

Disgraceful decision. A warning would have sufficed. Unfortunately, the broader GAA community has succummed to witchunt mania. Only a matter of time before the gaelic pitch becomes a barren wasteground of pansies, watched by middle aged do-gooders with salmon coloured golfing jumpers around their shoulders! Free the Dromore one!

I wouldn't quite go that far though I do agree it should have been more. The monobrow should count himself lucky they didn't hit him with bringing the Association into disrepute. I would say that not even the TCB's smartest solicitor could have got him away with that after his antics throughout the game and after it too.

All the thanks Ricey gets for launching his own personal testicular cancer awareness week, albeit on someone else's person.

I really can't believe that article, how can he write the doomsday like nonsense about ricey after that article no more than 6 months ago, what a hypocryte

hard to believe a kerry man turning the situation around to suit himself
