Jimmy McGuinness

Have they done this recently, say this season? I know they did in past, but the appeals that followed often overturned much of it.

The honest issue is I am not sure how we would know.  I have been involved in a few appeals over the years stemming from CCCC sanctions but none in the last 18 months.  That doesnt mean there havent been some I just have no personal knowledge

The Galway trainer pushed a Dublin player and got 2 months, Is that not a better conparsion to what McGuinness done . Theres been many a player banned on video evidence outside of a referees report. I remember  Fergal Donherty getting suspended after a clash with Rory Kavanagh.

There are technical issues but Brennan ran from behind a guy, bizarrely took out his ear piece and shoved him to the ground.

McGuinness was face to face and reacted to something when something had already escalated to genuine violence.
He was clashing with Mac Gearailt more in my memory, so he could he in bother too.

Brennan should be up in arms about this and should be putting serious pressure on the GAA to explain their positions.

And if he does, I hope he's given short shrift.

I gathered that.

Whatever about the rights and (clear) wrongs of the McGuinness situation, Brennan has absolutely zero entitlement to seek and explanation for a case that he's not involved in.

I'd disagree but each to their own. If Brennan felt he was held to higher scrutiny/ standards than Jim, he would have every right to voice that. And I would 100% support him in that. Transparency should be sought whenever possible.

He could voice it, sure. Seek an explanation from the GAA? Different kettle of fish altogether.

Yeah maybe wasn't clear, I meant put pressure on the GAA via media. I'm sure there'll be no shortage of journalists looking to speak to him for his view. If I was him I'd be as vocal as I can about the inconsistencies.

I am sick of podcasters, rye pundits, kerry pundits and some posters on here saying McGuinness did the same as Brennan, regardless of a rule, its no where near or as bad as what Brennan did, no where.

Manager has a physical altercation with someone from the opposing management team versus a manager having a physical altercation with an opposition player...the words of John McEnroe come flooding back
