Remeber each time below where you think im defending the action read this - The actions of the Annaclone player was not acceptable and has no place on the field.
But just to add a bit of information regarding the incident. The Glenn player himself was just in the middle of 'assualting' another Annaclone player himself so lets not make this fella a martyr - He was in the wrong too. 2 wrongs dont make a right. All through the game off the ball incidents from Glenn happened, 6 hit out at 11 in one incident 2/3 times, 5 was involved with 12 a few times - Clearly seen from were we were standing. Part of a culture now to stop players playing. Are these classed as any different in terms of their seriousness or is the end result the determining factor?
The game was adondoned because the Glenn management and bench poured onto the field, the actions of their management in attacking players was also conduct which should not be seen on the GAA circuit. It was only at this point where the referee had no alternative but to call a halt to proceedings. I wonder if the video evidence will be produced as all incidents need dealt with and clubs should both complete whatever necessary steps to discipline those involved.
All in all I do hope the man's injury is not as severe as thought and wish him a speedy recovery, football is played for enjoyment not punishment.
I want to call you out on a couple of points, the information you thought that you should give out with regards to the incident is totally rediculous and a complete lie, the Annaclone player clearly struck the Glenn player in an unprevoked attack while running passed him, the Glenn player was at no fault whatsoever.
The game was abandoned because of the Assault that took place on the field, which happened right in front of the Glenn dugout, of course your going to get a rise from the Glenn sideline, the player got no protection from the referee as he was at the other side of the pitch and didnt see it. So to blame Glenn for the abandonment is again wrong. If the initial incident didnt happen, nothing would have happened.
I also personally believe that the referee blew a halt to preceedings too quickly, yes there was a scrum going on, but he did blow it very quick in my opinion and with him leaving the field then things got further out of hand.
His report of the incident should be interesting as i believe he didnt see our could report on an awful lot as he wasnt there.
As for the Annaclone player, why do it then run and run and run and run shouting "im sorry, i shouldnt have done it", why did he do it? it was shocking.
