Shouldn't this be in the - General Discussion section?

Are you saying that subconsciously stephenite believes the GAA and AFL to be one and the same? Strewth! 

Edit To elucidate :-

I especially like this bit:

Rubbish - the notion that relations with the AFL lend a legitimacy as something of a stablemate is utter bullshit, the notion that cutting off those relations would lead to young players being less inclined to try their hand at AFL is utter bullshit. The notion that the lines are currently blurred is utter bullshit.

But Michaela, this thread doesn't alter anything that I wrote on that thread. The SOH incident might stop AFL clubs from recruiting GAA players (I doubt it) but it won't stop young players from wanting to be full time professional athletes.

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.

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.

I looked at it again - it was a fair old kick.

[Eoghan Mag]

Ah the pure wee Aussie! Them Down-under lads are all big cry-babies. There was was nothing in that. Sure you'd see worse in a school playground anywhere in Ireland! 

[IolarCoisCuain]

Just saw the footage on TV3, having finished watching Eamon Dunphy tearing up at the thought of the childer in the recession on the Late Late. Christ, it's some night in, this.

Setanta's been sent for anger management classes and I reckon that'll be the end of it. The Aussie media seemed to be milking it for all they're worth but the players themselves seemed to find it funny enough.

As I do myself, to be honest with you. A shoe in the hole might be long overdue for that fella. If any of them Aussies are picking on you beyond Stephenite, I hope you give as good as you get!  

[muppet]

roy keane, michael collins, stephen ireland, cork hurlers, cork footballers, setanta o'hAilpin... the list just goes on. langerland is a dicy place

Feckin' animals.

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

Completely misunderstood.

EXCELLENT!!!!!

Well I for one will stand up for Setanta, according to the Herald Sun, that Cloke gave him a back-hander to the throat to start it. He was looking for trouble and he got it. Its simply a case of blame the foreigner as is common here in Australia, look at Andrew Synmonds the cricketer and his ant-Kiwi player racist rant. Had to laugh at the pictures in the H.Sun of Brendan Fevola trying to hold Setanta back, thats the same Saint Fevola who hammered the crap out a barman in the Imperial Hotel in Galway's Eyre Square after the Pearse Stadium International Rules game a few years back. In my opinion the punch was far worse than the kick, but because the Aussies throw a punch every five minutes thats not the bit thats being highlighted because it would implicate all the AFL & most Australian sportsmen as being thugs. They had a cyclist who missed the olympics because he bate the crap out of somone, they have another sportstar in trouble, who had previously been tried for glassing his girlfriend. Barry Hall last year was only considered a thug after decking a few Aussies, but when he decked Irish he was just pasionate. Well I for one hope the Irish experiement is nearly over. Its great to see the Americans looking to take Aussie Rules players to America as place kickers after the success of one getting to the semi-final & another played for the Cardinals in the Superbowl. I hope that the AFL get a taste of their own medicine from the Yanks.

[Tankie]

Just watched it there. I'm all up for a few digs when things get heated but kicking a man when he is on the ground is just sc**bag behavior!

NOt at all. I'd say it's being done consciously.

Well in your opinion punching maybe worse than kicking but in Australia kicking is seen as the lowest thing you can do but hey if hte Irish think its ok then they should think just like us....and the Aussies have no problem wiht guys going to America as kickers either...

[Jinxy]

Who gives a f*ck what the aussies think?
Are we honestly to believe that in the grand scheme of things, giving a lad a toe up the hole is worse than clothes-lining a player running at full speed unable to protect himself?

You post in the wrong section, confusing the AFL with the GAA, and it's something I can't get my head around. Hmmm....
