GAA say they couldn't prove it was deliberate so why any ban then?

what reason did they give?

But, and be honest, did you think it was deliberate?

A stamp carries a two match suspension. He's got a one match ban for "behaving in a way dangerous to an opponent'

Easier than saying it was deliberate and having to prove it. Can't argue he didn't act in a dangerous way to an opponent

So, if not deliberate, an accidental act that was dangerous to an opponent? Usually an accidental slap, stamp etc would result in an acknowledgement of some kind.

Yeah I don't know about you but if I was to accidentally stand on someone first thing I'd do is stop and hold the hands up. Definitely looks like he knew what he was at.

I haven't seen the incident, but there can often be a lot of daylight between what a person in the crowd, or tv viewer (partisan or non-partisan), can plainly see, and what can be proven.  Sometimes best to go with the lesser, but more easily justified, punishment.

It looked deliberate to me though only the guy himself will know. Just trying to get my head round the GAA's thought process

[trueblue1234]

I don't think anyone genuinely thinks it wasn't deliberate. But proving that is the issue.
Was a nasty act, he got his ban, time to move on. Won't be the last deliberate/ not deliberate discussion this year.

[Silver hill]

Same oul story...hit the small Counties.

Wise up and get the blinkers off. He  changed his body posture to deliberately stamp on his opponent. Very lucky to only get a 2 match ban.
Take your oil and move on.

Not even a two match ban - he only got a one match ban.

Meanwhile the "positive" news on Foley is that he won't miss the entire season but will be out for a good stretch.

"It's unlikely he'll take any part in the Munster Championship this year but after that, we'd be hopeful enough that he'll see some action," said Kerry selector Diarmuid Murphy.

That's at least 3 games he will miss for Kerry (and possibly more)

Yet another in the long list of GAA "justice" cases where the guilty person serves less time than the innocent party.

Had this been a Tyrone player there would have been a witch hunt all week, trial by social media, and a very very lengthy ban.

It's rare (if ever) you'd hear of a stamp put anyone out for that long. Shows you how much force was in it.

Was it the stamp? He didnt go off until a bit later

The injury did not happen from the stamp. It happened when he was jumping for a ball afterwards with Nial Daly and landed awkwardly. Perhaps the stamp had weakened foot, but so much reporting - and posts on this board- act like the injury happened  then. He was actually treated for a head injury in the goalmouth incident as he took a bad fall trying to prevent the goal. I wish him a speedy recovery.
