Thuggery at end of Tyrone Club Final

[agorm]

I note that the thuggery exhibited at the end of the Tyrone county final was not even mentioned on the RTE Sports News. I can just imagine if it was the Meath or Dublin finals it would be top of the Sportsnews just like Parnell Park earlier in the year.

Watch UTV or BBC news tomorrow - they wont mention the result.

TV3 showed it. I'd say RTE will show it at 9 o'clock. Something is amiss if they don't.

Not exactly sure what your point is here (if you have one) but a Meath Dublin intercounty clash is going to be more high profile than a club game in Tyrone. As Playwiththewind pointed out, it'll be well publicised in the days to come.

Was it just the headbutt?
You see that regularly - though that doesnt excuse it.

Jinxy I'm just surprised that a headbutt makes the news 

[ziggysego]

Terrible behaviour indeed.

pints i don't know where ur from but to me headbutting is the worst form of fightinhg and very disrespectful!

[Over the Bar]

With actions like that Noel McGinn could get called up the the Dublin backroom set-up if he's not careful.

[pintsofguinness]

I agree leenie, I just didn't think it was national news material.

My points are: First of all, the incidents do need to be dealt with and not swept under the carpet as was indicated with the non mention on the news. With no Sunday Game there is less opportunity to highlight this on PrimeTime and weed out the thug that gave the head butt.

Secondly, whether we like it or not, some counties such as Meath and Dublin will get stuff like this publicised much easier - maybe because of historical rivalries etc. It is unfair but not altogether surprising. I think that the Parnell Park episode torpedoed Meath's season but that's for another thread sometime.

However, considering this is Tyrone who themselves are now high profile and remembering their supporters endless reaction to much much tamer incidents in 1996 I think it should certainly be noted, highlighted and dealt with as their supporters would certainly call for if they were on the receiving end.

I would hardly call the Meath player stamping on the Tyrone players head in 1996 much tamer than todays headbutt.
