Dirty tricks....Heard there was 4 sent off at glenn and saval. Review this match for dirty tricks...

[TakeTheMark]

The county champions up to their usual dirty tricks at the weekend there, nothing less than we have come to expect from them.

The first three words in your comment says it all. Do whatever it takes to be successful!

You land the wrong way on someone's head or neck, you can drastically and even potentially permanently alter someone's life. The day that is deemed to be acceptable in the pursuit of 'success' then its a game I'd no longer want to be associated with.

That kind of shit is really bad. I don't understand how that boy got away with it - it should be a lengthy ban too. That club do seem to have their fair share of incidents like that from the outside looking in. Doing what it takes to win is fine when you're slowing games down, doing cynical fouls which aren't hurting people etc but when you are putting peoples personal safety at risk it's gone too far and tbh it is what a referee should be there to prevent.

Not much intelligence on display with that reply. Attempting to injure other players in order to win a football match is quite pathetic. And kneeling on a man's head is nothing but cowardly. Doesn't take a brave man to do that.

you can play dirty and hard within rules of game kneeing someone in the neck is assault

Has anyone watched a Down GAA TV game using the browser on a firestick? Or is the only way to get it on a TV to cast or attach a HDMI cable to a laptop?

Why is all the talk about this incident? Was there not a few sent off in the Glenn v saval match. I dont see any threads on this.....

96 weeks for one offender, pushing the referee, another two with 12 week bans for verbally abusing the referee and the others with two game bans for red card offences during the game.

CB threatened this at the start of the year and seem to be following through on it, but we'll how they respond when some of the big teams fall foul of these new punishments.

It should hopefully deter any potential abuse towards officials. Though there are some clubs who may not be so accepting and launch the usual appeals if they end up in a similar situation. It seems from the quotes in the article that Saval are taking their medicine and not appealing, and that's a rare occurrence these days across the GAA all over Ireland.

I'd be shocked if there isn't a £1K fine also looming over them for future conduct.

Some clubs are already on warnings

Were Saval not involved in a very unsavoury game last year against Corduff in the ulster club?

I know absolutely nothing about Saval but reports out of Shane O'Neills (Armagh) and Galbally (Tyrone) who also met Corduff in Ulster, is that they were the most hateful shower you could come across

Burren give Loughinisland an awful pasting tonight.

[upandwin]

Upandwin your on drugs if you think Burren will win championship, they will struggle to beat loughinisland and after Kilcoo easing past Carryduff you may hope Burren don't meet them at any stage because it might turn out to be embarrassing

Aye struggled alright by the looks of it ye clown🤡
