Tommy Mc Guigan Ban

[RedandGreenSniper]

Didn't see the Monaghan instances so I won't comment on those. There is a question of consistency perhaps but that can't be used to vindicate Tommy McGuigan.

First of all Sean Marty Lockhart is no angel, he did his best to embroil Sean Cavanagh into a fight in the goalmouth (Cavanagh's composure in that situation should have been highlighted as an example of how players should rise above goading and provocation - I thought he showed real class).

Secondly I've never seen Tommy McGuigan act the pup before and he seems like a decent sort.

But you can't sink your knee into someone's groin like he did and expect to get away with it. Especially when it is completely off the ball (there is a tendency in the GAA to let players off if a tackle is bad but the ball is somewhere in the picture, not right maybe, but when there's no ball involved at all there is little enough defence - perhaps this partly explains the Monaghan incidents, and a lot of the cynical dropping of knees we've seen in recent years). He was ticked for I don't know what because if the referee saw it right, he was gone with a straight red. Four weeks is fair enough. McMenamin was potentially going to receive more because his was a bit more premeditated and he also acted the bollix after the game).

I really hope there is no appeal from Tyrone either, because the focus for Mickey Harte should not be moaning about inconsistencies, but getting his players to stop losing their discipline, it could be very costly yet in a big championship game where all the appeals in the world won't bring his team back into the race for Sam.

Far from perfect, its a complete joke if Tommy McGuigan gets done. At least 3 worse incidents were caught on camera in the Monaghan game and not another word was said about it. Its always interesting to note the difference of posters reactions on here to. You know rightly if McGuigan gets done he and Ricey have been treated differently because of the county they're from.

Many would be of the opinion that a strike to the groin is more serious/undesirable than most incidents - and a pattern that has to be stopped before it becomes commonplace. Tackles in the course of play will never attract the same attention and scrutiny as such 'off the ball' incidents.

Harte tacitly supports this behavior. It happens too often to be down to the players only. They wouldnt do it if they felt they faced any censure from Harte.

Fergal Doherty was done in the Derry v Donegal Mash for lashing out with his hand, stayed on the pitch at the time and no one questioned the video trial that was to follow. If you ask the Admin maybe he could dig the thread about it out of the archives and you can see what was said about it. Fergal got 4 weeks and rightly so because the crime fits the time.

In last years league several Meath and Dublin were suspended following trial by video footage.

In last years championship, Collie Moran of Dublin, was before the CCCC, so too was Kevin Reilly of Meath, and Also Martin Cole of Down (who was subsequently banned), ironically when playing Tyrone...maybe Davey Harte 'over exaggerated it' as some are suggesting with SML... And how can we forget the most high profile story of last summer almost eclipsing Tyrone's win, one Mr Paul Galvin and the diving notebook(!) Paul Finlay, Gary Mc Quaid both suspended last year for mouthing at ref and punching respectively (note both got 8 weeks suspensions)

In a 2007 club game Paddy Bradley was suspended for 3 months for mouthing at a referee,  It was used for Dublin/Tyrone brawl at Healy Park in 2006, What about 'Semplegate' a few years ago? In fact as far back as 2000 Video evidence was used in the Cavan/Sligo brawl in Markievicz Park.

Also..if you want find out why Ryan Mc Menamin got a call up to the Tyrone Panel, I couldn't possibly post for fear of getting banned but let's just say it is charming to say the least.... Reading the rest of him profile, he is a nasty piece of work to say the least. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_mcmenamin

So it isn't just Tyrone, and also it's interesting to note the length of bans, Finlay got 8 weeks for Mouthing at the ref, Ricey was crying he got 6 weeks for a whole lot worse.

Basically The tyrone complaint here is that its not fair their players get caught all the time?

When are they going to learn to leave other men's balls alone?

Are you serious   it might be something to do with the fact he is a very good footballer

That aside, the reason that set him from the rest. Also, if this is the basis Tyrone are recruiting players on, is it any wonder their behaviour is so bad.

Of your 28 posts on this board so far, how many of them don't involve you having a go at Tyrone (I'll answer that if you want)?
