It wasn't a dig, I assumed it was sent from a mobile. Once I posted the first bit I knew someone would pick up on it so thought I would get in first.

You are digging a big hole for yourself with that statement. But sure whatever takes away the pain of defeat.

Unlucky Derrytresk after a great run to the final and a very closely contested match today. No question that some of their players and officials let themselves down very badly in the semi final but Derrytresk have paid a big big price for that, with their reputation destroyed in the media hysteria that followed, and the suspensions arguably costing them an All-Ireland title. The suspensions were deserved IMO, but an awful lot of the media attacks on the club were out of order and imbalanced. It wasn't Derrytresk who got 9 yellows and 2 reds in that semi final after all. McStay's comments tonight were a further example of that media hysteria and really lacked class, did himself no credit. Same charges can be applied to certain prominent members of Dromoid Pearses. A very unfortunate and regrettable episode all round really.

Congratulations to Clonbur on a great achievement, all the sh*te about the other semi final should not take away from their success.

Ultimately, as harsh as it sounds, it'll be a long time before a Derrytresk substitute or supporter encroaches on the field of play to get involved in a row.

Maybe, maybe not. Unfortunately for Deerytresk their schemozzle was captured on camera and pursued by the media.
There was a schemozzle in Clones today and it continued up the tunnel and I'm quite sure there won't be the same repercussions / column inches / radio phone ins devoted to it.

As trite as it sounds Jinxy, nobody in Derrytresk ever said the the subs or supporters weren't totally out of line.Nobody in Derrytresk,that I know of, ever attempted to defend any wrong-doings. Their team put in a truly magnificent display today which was acknowledged by Christy Cooney and the Clonbur captain. They don't need or deserve to be preached to at this time.

There was very little in that 'row' in Clones today and you know it.
Was a single human being struck or injured in any way shape or form?
Did any subs or fans come piling onto the pitch?

Type 'Derrytresk' into twitter.
Plenty of people including media personalities in Ulster basically saying the GAA did them out of an All-Ireland title.
They did themselves out of an All-Ireland title.
I don't often agree with McStay but he was 100% correct in this instance.

[bigpaul]

I don't use Twitter, what have 'people including media personalities in Ulster'  to  do with my last post. You can choose to keep getting stuck in, I think it's time to walk on by the corpse. 

[orangeman]

I think Derrytresk will be looking for a bit of consistency. I don't think they'll get it.

Colm O'Rourke and a host of other GAA personalities said the D'tresk "row" was blown out of all proportion.

Does the CCCC apply punishment on the basis of the perceived size of the row, small, medium, large or super sized ?

From watching both on Telly I'd say there was much the same in both incidents.
Reports are that's mentors and subs from both teams were involved.
This time I hope the media stay out of it and there will. It be the same level of frenzy and suspensions metted out. We will see.

Listen, do something else instead of typing 'Derrytresk' into Twitter. Like read a book.

No mentors or subs came onto the field of play.
Pushing and shoving in the tunnel as they go in at half-time is very different from running onto the field and throwing punches.
For people telling me to 'move on', maybe if you stopped indulging in whataboutery we could all move on.
