QuoteBecause they know he will react and hey know what buttons to push.

He should just wear a mic and post the outcome on the web.

Its friday night and I've had a few but is it just me or does it not seem weird that after a bad week for Armagh football that ye have a crazy Down man STILL as yer manager. The Down county board must be really enjoying this though it could all Change this weekend. Who was the last outside county manager to win Ulster?

Was it McHugh when over Cavan? Who was manager of Derry in 98?

I'm pretty sure it was Brian Mullins, he was over Derry in 97 definitely and Coleman came back in 99 or 2000 and I don't remember anyone else in charge of Derry in that period

Mmmmmhhhhh, and some wondered why ACB came out with the embarrassing climb down over the past few days. Aren't the workings of the GAA great?

bennydorano · March 24, 2012, 07:35:46 AM

Good for us if true, but another terrible precedent set.

Mc Keever should have kept his gob shut. I am an Northern nationalist but hi for Gods Sake do your talking on the pitch and shut these eejits up that way, it is a wee bit embarrassing for Mc Keever, sort of like running to the teacher to tell him/her that someone was being bad in class. Next ball win it, second ball win it again,third ball win and clean him out, job done! A Laois man taking the piss out of anyone is a laugh in itself.

McKeever has stayed silent throughout this..it was the ACB who went to press.

brokencrossbar1 · March 24, 2012, 09:38:06 AM

My understanding is that the reason McKeevers suspension was lifted was because it wasn't a red card offence and was simply a yellow card offence. He tripped your man as they were walking down the tunnel but didn't strike him. Also read that the offence was reported by the 4th official who does not have the authority so he actually got off on a technicality as well. Open to correction.

splintered arse · March 24, 2012, 10:07:49 AM

Close to the bone there bcb1. It was the 4th official as both linesmen and ref were still on the pitch with grimley at the time and he technically cannot report anything. But even he didn't see what happened, it was only when a laois person made an issue of the bit of pushing that the whole thing snowballed.
As for the claims about the abuse why would McNulty call Mckeever to apologise if nothing happened.

Dont Matter · March 24, 2012, 11:16:28 AM

McKeever ran across the pitch at half time to get at Sheehan, he deserved to be sent off. Getting off on a technicality doesn't change that.
The 4th official saw McKeever running, he was keeping a close eye on it, he didn't need anyone to make an issue out of it.

No harm to you don't matter it is easy to make these accusations as you said in earlier posts but you have no evidence. I was at the match and on the way off the pitch there was no sign of anyone chasing after anyone else. It sounds more and more like nothing major happened either way and the whole thing exploded up because officials made a balls up.
