More Thuggery on the GAA field

[GalwayBayBoy]

Th final should be good crack, since the other finalist knows what's on the way.

Poor lads from Clonbur will be stuffing these down their shorts on the day.

[HiMucker]

FFS lads, we are well into the thread and I dont see any mention of the IRA yet, or how Sinn Fein can be blamed for all this??

[AZOffaly]

I did mention Dromid snipers.

  Dont forget about the dromid touts

The stewartstown subs started the fight by hitting one of the ballymacnab players as they walked of the field...and as for ferghal Logan having his red card rescinded, he gets everyones red cards thrown out as is well known so he may aswell get his own done, I'm not sure what he loop hole in the rule book is for kicking someone in the head but good old ferghal found one to get himself off the hook;-)

Just watched the video - quite disappointed by the amount of boxing action involved considering the furore! Seems no 4 from Dromid was out of line; Subs shouldn't have jumped wire apart from that theres not much else to be said.

The no. 15 kicking a fella on the ground 27 seconds into the video clip is probably the worse incident of the lot.

i'm sure he cant be considered all bad down there in ballymacnab considering he got them off/pitch reopened for assaulting a referee about a year before that.

nobody in stewartstown or derrytresk for that matter has ever hit a referee so you cant really come on here and mouth off about tyrone football when armagh has it's issues too.

Apart from the major incident before half time, one very strange thing about this game is that the manager of the losing team who had 2 players sent off, as well as picking up twice as many yellow cards as the winning team, wants the winners thrown out of the compettition because of their bad behaviour.  Neither club emerges from this game with any credit.  The Dromid manager is not in a great position to talk about bad behaviour or indiscipline.

Don't let him wind you up too much Clarshack... just read through his previous posts about the Armagh final and you'll see what I mean. He's been in hiding since the middle of October so it's taken him 3 months to get over it!!

Had my look at the clip there. Whatever about the game and the boxing which certainly dosent look as one sided as I a kerry journalist on today fm would have had me believe.  I believe we are looking at a short and nasty incident which has happened many times before it from  which people are prepared to tarnish a small rural club who have been exemplary servants to the gaa over the years.  I think these incidents which will be in the referrees report aside. Those who have allowed the spin and pr brigade of the kerry gaa brigade to influece their objectivity should be ashamed of themselves.  In my view if dromid had been fit to win the game which they weren't we would never heard another word. It has sadly become a feature of kerry football punditry and commentry from layman to professional to tarnish any reputation that they can when beaten. Why don't dromid name these people who they claim testicle tapped them.  Because they want everyone tarnished by their comments.  If I was a player I'd be demanding they prove it or shut their mouths

Pot and kettle there methinks.

As a neutral who has only the video clip to go on, the key point for me is there is clear evidence of an assualt by a Derrytresk spectator on the Dromid midfielder. This resulted in the Dromid player missing the 2nd half of the game as he was concussed. Therefore, IMO Derrytresk have to be thrown out (I presuming the rules allow for this).

As the game was clearly impacted by the assault by the spectator, then Dromid should be re-instated - (unless there is further evidence indicating they should be thrown out also). Dromid will undoubtedly also have players who should be suspended.

I really hope there is a final. I'm sure the people of Clonbur are really looking forward to their day out at their All Ireland final.

who had 2 players sent off, as well as picking up twice as many yellow cards as the winning team,

If the Derrytresk subs, supporters and mentors are doing most of the the belting for Derrytresk while it's the players on their own doing the belting for Dromid then obviously Dromid players are going to have more yellow and red cards than the Derrytresk players.

I can't help and feel that the GAA should have been onto both clubs on Sunday evening and told both not to make any public comments whatsoever and to instruct all officers and players to do likewise.

Then they should have realeased a statement saying they will have a full investigation, etc etc

All we have to date is public hearsay, petty comments from all sides to fit their agenda and the president saying he is disappointed. They really should be very proactive in these cases.

Maybe a replay next sunday would keep everyone happy, woiuld draw a good crowd I'd imagine

Getting prepared already for the trip to Croker in Derrytresk!
