Jamie Clarke,the GAA's answer to Stephen Ireland?

[take_yer_points]

You dont describe an action as a "b**tard"

Would you describe an action as a 'fat alco' ?

And break down the following sentence and explain how you were describing the act and not the person... 

A lad who turns his back on his county,but can defer globetrotting to play in a soccer Junior Cup Final,is despicable

[T Fearon]

Despicable is an inferred description of his action.

Calling someone a miserable bastard,is a clear case of abuse which merited disciplinary action.Abuse as far as I can see from the rules is not conditional or excused in light of perceived actions or inactions of the person being abused.

Also another reference was made to a former priest convicted of paedophilia on this thread in highly derogatory terms.This person is from my own town, and while I do not in any way condone his actions,he does have an elderly mother and father who are heartbroken as well as a brother and sister.

Still no bans forthcoming for the perpetrator.

Frankly being described as despicable is hardly an example of abuse, unlike the other cases I've mentioned.

So you did describe him as despicable. Whether or not you classify it as abuse or not is neither here nor there. Many on this thread I'm sure see it as abusing him. Surreal really

[BennyCake]

It's like Groundhog Day around here.

[Tony Baloney]

Have the teams been named? Put them up on the match thread please

Is Clarke not named?

[seafoid]

It's like Groundhog Day around here.

more like one flew over the cuckoos nest

[Jinxy]

In 2012 in Hyde Park I showed my season ticket to lad at the turnstile from Roscommon and when he saw my name he said "You're not are you?" 😁😁😁

Syferus has always looked up to you.

[heffo]

Hope he has a ball

[T Fearon]

Apparently he has two

The parents of the abused by smyth that brady facilitated you blamed and yet no ban. Gerry mc quillan was a tr**p if his parents are upset what about the parents of those he abused.

I think the rag the irish news reported it on page 6 or 7 that year.

[Disillusioned]

Jamie has set out his side of things and fair play to him!

Hmmm, that's all well and good but has he spoken to Tony directly? Tony bought a season ticket. And Hooley and all.

Shameful avoidance Jamie.

[regal]

Best of luck to Jamie. I would love to see him back with Armagh but only wish him well

[The Subbie]

Just read the Irish examiner piece, Clarke has his head well screwed on, he's nobody's fool, best of luck to him.
He is right, there is more to life than kicking a ball over a bar.
