Lads at this rate I don't think many AFL clubs will be experimenting with Irish players in the near future.

Come home agent Ó hAilpín, your assignment is complete.

Don't think there was a big pile in it, the other man hit the deck like a sack of sh*te.  He was happy enough to try and get the upper hand on SOH so he can't have much complaints.

Don't agree with that. There was no need for the kick.

It must have been a paid phone line from Cork when Sean Og was telling him about "strike" & "footballers".

Completely misunderstood.

Sea Og has said he will go on strike if disciplinary action is taken against Setanta.

If the other boys willing to act the maggot then he has to take the consequences.  It was hardly a drive of a boot, more a dig letting him know not to act the big man again.  Don't get me wrong i don't condone driving a boot into some man on the ground, but i don't think this kick was there to cause damage, more frustration i would guess.  Just don't think SOH is the only guilty party here.

The  "don't kick a man when he's down" is taken too seriously.
Nothing better after you have decked an annoying adversary than to stand over and press home the final humiliation.
Is it true Setanta shouted
"Take that you cxnt" ?

Kicking is deemed one of the lowest acts in sport - you can beat the life out of an opponent with your fists, but kicking is a no no.

It was only a kick in the hole. When I read he kicked him on the ground I was thinking maybe it was serious like a kick in the ribs or head, but c'mon it was only a kick in the arse.  The punch would have done way more damage to the Cloke fella.
It won't be the next manager but the one after that Meath will become competitive again - MO'D 2016

I saw it as more a kick to the balls, while he was on the gorund - which is pretty distasteful

It's especially the case in Aussie Rules. Kicking a man in that game is seen as way, way worse than a thump. The fact that the man is on the ground compounds it. The Aussies go big in for the camaraderie thing and this was a clear violation of any of that. Setanta will be let go, I've very little doubt about that.

So the big question - will he join up with provisional Cork squad or the continuity one??
Mayo for Sam! Just don't ask me for a year

Any hurling prowess is long gone. Aisake is out with the footballers I'd say Setanta will join him. He's gone after that. Kicking is seen as sacrilege in Aussie Rules. And he's not a big enough profile player to get away with it thats his biggest problem.

I don't think he'll get the bullet
