A lot of people seem to have witnessed that particular incident.
These thugs need to be held to account.
If you were any use you'd be playing.

Read todays Gaelic life breifly and Jarlath Burns alludes to an incident where a fan, Ithink he said from Tyrone but not 100% sure, punched Darragh O'Se after one of the AIFS after running on to the pitch
So that is the other side of the coin of fans showing their unbridled joy and exercisng their traditional right

In todays Irish News Mickey Harte seems In favour of keeping with "tradition"
"When it's too tough for them, it's just right for us"

As is Joe Brolly in GL, but I think Jarlath burns anectode is relevant to the debate

You have to make allowances for people from Tyrone.

First I heard of Dara O'Sé being hit by a fan.
There may be an element of dramatic license on Jarlaths part.

Never happened. But very timely to bring it up now.

I think a case can be made for delaying a pitch invasion until players have the opportunity to leave the pitch and a proper cordon can be set up in front of the Hogan Stand.

Jarlath conveniently ignored that particular possibility in his article today, as it would undermine his entire case.

He also mentions that the abortive "presentation event" was supposed to "bathe the stadium in streamers firework mines and confetti". This makes a nonsense of Peter McKenna's "coke bottle and a pair of spectacles" littering complaint on Monday.
Boycott Hadron. Support your local particle collider.

Ah well if you did not hear about it, it must not have happened then

Of course, Jarlath Burns being so involved in Croke Park in his positions in the GAA hierarchy, would naturally be keeping onside, and so any story that will add fuel to their agenda will be produced, funny how none of these ever seemed to come to light when they happened. Like McKenna's lovely round large compensation figure, and the tales of steward's broken noses, while their own actions are ignored, truth is becoming a casualty on this matter.
