But surely if there wasn't intent, he wouldn't have went near him(?)
How hard he hit him really is neither here nor there.

Don't you start. Maybe I led a much more unsheltered life, but how hard is absolutely critical - it's the difference between malice aforethought and the absence thereof. An absolutely key criterion in the apportionment of guilt, and the extent of that guilt.

Look, it hasn't happened much in my sporting life, and sometimes not even in my sporting life, but mates would perhaps have gestured down towards that area to put you on the back foot more than anything, generally when we were arsing about. OK, I never collapsed in a heap like Galvin, and he wasn't expecting it, but you get my drift, Ricey was only attempting to unsettle Galvin, with a cup, a fecking cup, of the nether region! And those aren't memories that occupy my current days, but they are now revived.

You are talking some Sh8te tonight. Ward shouldered fellow on way past -did McMenamin accidently have a dig at Galvins testicles...looked intentional to me. 

Wise up FFS! If you put your hand down there with malicious intent you'll need to be retarded to fail to leave a lad in a heap, at least for a few minutes. Galvin got up and trotted away instantaneously. Cop on.


And, Ward ran half a field length to get involved, get with the fecking programme!

mmm....

So you're saying Doherty should not have been banned either?

I don't care about Doherty, that's for you lads to work out. Let's just stick to the specific offence.

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

mmm....

Was I incorrect in assuming you to be a buachaill?

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

no-just wondering was the 'retarded' theory a subtle explaination why Ricey didn't leave Galvin in a heap   

Straight question for you (and I'm going to ask it of anyone else that can't discern the difference): have you ever been grabbed down below in a sporting or playful manner, by a pal or acquaintance, just to put you on the back foot, but with no malice and no chance of doing you harm?

Nope-but hey! if that is what constitutes 'playful' in Strabane who am I to argue?

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

It ain't just Strabane, but maybe times they are a changing. What was playful or sporting yesteryear just might be construed as abusive today (though not on the sporting field). Innocence departed.

And I understand now why you don't understand what Ricey was at.

Me and many many others... thanks for enlightening us!

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

Apparently, but it is possible to effect such without malice. Young lads, huh!

[Doogie Browser]

Apparently this is a test case and a Mr Paul Gascoigne is taking a Mr Vincent Jones to the CAS in Lausanne, charging him with grabbing his nuts over 20 years ago (must have delayed the pain), but we all know it was sexual assault and never once laughed about it.  This is a serious matter now, never mind the bollocks.

Not 100% sure, but hidden users may be admin users (mods, etc.), guests are those who are just lurking without a gaaboard account, and the rest are like us, i.e., sort of normal.

[longrunsthefox]

Thanks-seems to be some spectators on this alright. Anyway your wrong about Ricey  nite
