More Thuggery on the GAA field

[Tubberman]

hard luck derrytresk, they gave it their all.

i thought mcstay was out of order with his comments last night. w*nker.

What did McStay actually say? I missed it last night. Obviously a bitter end to the club year for Derrytresk, probably no need to rub it in.

[AZOffaly]

He said, when Michael Lyster prompted him, apropos of nothing really, that Derrytresk would be reflecting in the 'long journey home' about how their actions have cost them an All Ireland, and they'll feel awful basically. I'm paraphrasing, but that was the gist of it.

Never mentioned the intermediate final, and never considered that maybe Clonbur might have won even if Derrytresk were at full strength, or unaffected by the buildup.

I thought it was a cheap shot to be honest, but it was obviously thought out and scripted beforehand by the way Lyster launched into it.

'authors of their own downfall' was the phrase. All well - all in the past now.

One last thing - how'd O'Sullivan stay on the field for that last dig - he'd a yellow already.

Bernard Flynn was talking some shite about Derrytresk on the radio yesterday evening too,but to be fair to Bernard talking shite is something he's very good at.

I particularly enjoyed Bernard's story about being locked in a changing room after a game in Tyrone and had to be saved by the Guards - i just find that story extremely hard to believe! I can't imagine Liam Harnan, Mick Lyons et al cowering in a changing room waiting for the Royal Ulster Constabulary to come a save them from a bunch of Tyrone yocals. (Ross Carr pointed out that the Guards probably won't be in Tyrone).

Seriously lads. There's umpteen other incidents like this on the other side that could be released too. What's to be gained now?

Commiserations to DT yesterday, they certainly divided opinion in recent weeks.

I think a fair media interpretation of what actually happened is still be to gained!

What's wrong with that? We're they not?

So do you think Dromid should release their video clips too? Or would that be 'whinging'?

[BennyHarp]

Well, I would say the general media perception is that Dromid are whiter than white and they don't really have to release any more media statements or videos. As McStays comments last night proved, Derrytresk are viewed as the big bad wolves of this story and I don't blame them if they wish to release images of Dromid players kicking and punching their way through the game.

[JUst retired]

I wonder will kildare and Monaghan be treated as "fairly" as Derrytresk?

Never mind the effin media... how did the GAA deal with the issue?
Did they take actions against both sides?
