McKenna Cup 2024

[blewuporstuffed]

Some rubbish be chatted here by people who have clearly never been at a club game or played a club game in the last 10 years!

Such over the top reaction to tyrone again over a mc kenna cup match. Tyrone can be happy in the fact that ulster council took no further action which vindicates tiernan mc cann for an albeit clumsy action but he did not go in to cause damage, rogers head was ducked down in an unnatural position and mc cann wasn't look. Both standing tall mc cann would have bounced off him an went on.

Mc cann goes down to easy, but plenty do. James Kielt took a good nose dive in the last group game.

As for mc carron I doubt he cares little for some 25 stone keyboard warrior who yearns for a big day out in croke park again says on this think.

On one note, we can say nothing about kicking the ball off the tee as mcaliskey done it in the group game. I thought a derry ones would have came back with it here but obviously sat at their keyboards instead of going to watch. Its a hateful action

It should be a black card offence, or should, maybe even better result in an additional 2 minutes automatically being added to injury time

Totally wrong for any juvenile to be accused of wrong-doing in the media spotlight. Hindsight is a great thing and looking back Bonner should have dealt with it internally.

My concern is more around this acceptance that sledging is part of the game. Yes while it may take place it should never be part of our games, and it is something that we all have a responsibility to tackle.

So we agree??

THANK GOD!

Let's all go round and round in circles discussing which player dives when infact every team has these types of players.

The Derry Tyrone footballing rivalry is a healthy one (albeit one sided thus far) which could drive both teams on but the off the ball antics and conduct of some supporters on both sides has a lot to be desired.

I reported the comment

The Original comment and following quotes have been removed. I would draw people's attention  to Rule 2

"Libellous/insulting posts about a real person
   In this day and age, many more people are becoming aware of the existance of boards such as this. While this is generally a good thing, it also means that the posts are
   more likely to be read by a casual visitor to the site. In these circumstances, the board must protect itself against allegations of libel, or defamation and so any posts
   which make derogatory remarks about a named, or clearly implied, individual, are a serious breach of the rules, and dangerous to the board itself. This particularly applies
   to individuals' private lives, finances, legal issues etc etc. This also applies to unwarranted abuse of GAA players and officials.
"

And in particular the last sentence. Please do no engage in needless and 'cowardly' abuse of players behind internet pseudonyms. Comment about on field behaviour can me made without needless insults to their character, and comments regarding their private life should be out of bounds altogether. Let that be the end of it please.

All the media hysteria was focused on A Tyrone lad goading a player about the death of his father - some very well payed media personalities where given air time to viewing not only opinions on the matter but stating that they new for a fact.

This did not take place and I have yet to hear an apology from the media people involved for not only adding fuel to the fire but also putting a young lads reputation and life in jeopardy by publically backing this theory which was made up by Declan Bonner!

This involved a juvenile - It's just a pity no one was took to court.

Did sledging take place WT4E?

I believe so. I don't like sledging and don't agree with it but my point is and always has been the media running with a story based on hearsay relating to a juvenile who was subjected to online abuse about something he did not do.

What is your opinion on that Walt?

Young males are vunerable at that age and whilst the likes of Martin Carney and Declan Bonner are laughing all the way to the bank its the young lads family that have to pick up the pieces and support the lad in question!

But don't let get in the way of a good old Tyrone Bashing!

So you're very worried about this sensitive tyrone lad but not too worried about the Donegal lad who he spent the entire game sledging not too long after the death of his father. That's why it will continue in tyrone just like the diving. When tyrone people sledge and dive they end up being portrayed as the victims by tyrone people while other people around the country rightly criticise their actions.

I was also worried about the Donegal lad - I don't agree with sledging I've said that.

If I was a Donegal supporter I would be questioning why their minor manager used wrong information to report to the media on several occasions which put undue stress on two juveniles and has he has yet to apologise!

Fair enough, Bonner was wrong, he put undue pressure on the 2 lads.

I don't think even that's possible

[Franko]

Good stuff Mod...

Indeed, I'm glad that the mods have agreed with me that all types of insults made against players are inadmissible here. Not just those which are unpalatable to our red hand brethren.  Hopefully that will put an end to the needless abuse that has been emanating from them.
