Replying To KK1926: "Liam and Condor Legion et al. Yes he should receive the 12 week ban. He broke the rule just like Connolly. But in Kilkenny we won't moan about it like some in Dublin. We'll be focusing on getting back into the hurling elite, working on our underage and checking out the club scene. We won't be bawling and feeling victimised and put upon like the whingefest from the capital. Many congrats to Waterford. Hugely deserved and all true hurling fans will wissh them well. Great to see Cork back too." And yet a quick look across various social fora would tell us otherwise. DannyMcA (Dublin) - Posts: 260 - 10/07/2017 21:13:36 2014490 Link
Replying To Dellboypolecat: "CCC cover both codes same body and yes he deserved a ban and hurling has got very cynical this year lads been dragged down" And the Louth player deserved 12 weeks also I suppose. catch22 (USA) - Posts: 2148 - 10/07/2017 21:19:38 2014499 Link
Replying To Liamwalkinstown: "Has to be. And if not, why not??" Did you not read the thread titled consistency? Why do posters feel they want to set up their own thread discussing something already being debated on another thread? Painful. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 7902 - 10/07/2017 21:54:36 2014533 Link
No way should he be banned, an absolute nothing incident.......certainly Cody can get excited along the sideline but so do many other managers.......what a lot of people overlook is how gracious Cody has always been in defeat or indeed how willing he/his team have been to support hurling across the country...would be a shame to see Cody banned for this as totally unwarranted PaudieSull1 (Down) - Posts: 738 - 10/07/2017 22:43:41 2014580 Link
Replying To Laois76: "Picking up a 12 week ban for Saturday evening's bit of a heated exchange tarnish his record?? Are you for real? 11 All Irelands in 19 years and people will say 'ah no a 4th official once had to come between him and Derek McGrath in a qualifier in 2017... Shur didn't Cody put his hands on him..those all-irelands are worthless now.' A statement ridiculous beyond comprehension." Yes, comprehension seems to be a problem with some posters. You are not alone. neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 10/07/2017 23:00:02 2014593 Link
Replying To suckvalleypaddy: "not a 12 week ban in anyway, Cody was trying to dodge the linesman who was in his face. Not similar to Connolly situation." Fourth official pushed Cody first. Maybe he should get the 12 week ban. That would keep everyone happy. Consistency all round! kildare73 (Kildare) - Posts: 854 - 11/07/2017 00:28:40 2014645 Link
Replying To neverright: "Yes, comprehension seems to be a problem with some posters. You are not alone." Equally silly reply! Do you really believe Cody has tarnished his reputation with little handbags incidents like on Saturday evening? If so very few people's achievements are worth anything as very few behave perfectly all the time. Laois76 (Laois) - Posts: 1270 - 11/07/2017 01:42:48 2014654 Link
Connolly deserved 12 weeks based on rulebook. Louth player was clearly frustrated and took it out on the ball/umpire. Any person who thinks he was simply kicking it back to the keeper in a normal manner is delusional. In the Cody incident, the 4th official was clearly trying to stop Cody from walking any further towards the Waterford backroom team. Short of disappearing into thin air, Cody was always going to be touching the 4th official at that point. All this stuff has gotten out of hand and has become an embarrassment with the focus it's getting. I mean Jack Guiney hit the referee in the arse with the hurl just after he received a yellow card against Galway as if to say "thanks for not sending me off". Not a word about it and nor should there be. HurlingSnob (Dublin) - Posts: 220 - 11/07/2017 02:22:12 2014662 Link
No ban for Cody, because he is not Davy Fitz. Cody has always been well able to dish it out on the line, to linesmen, to opposing team officials, etc. Pinkie (Wexford) - Posts: 4100 - 11/07/2017 08:31:23 2014683 Link

The fact is you just love talking about the same topic over and over, especially if it's Dublin related. You said up a thread Sympathy for The Devil about Connolly, now this one and the same points will be made on this thread, the Consistency thread and on the one you set up. Posters seem to just set up threads talking about the same thing already being talked about on another thread, admin need to tidy it up. It would improve the GAA section big time.

No prizes for guessing who start this thread anyway. Liam(WUM)walkinstown. There was nothing in the Cody incident. Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 11/07/2017 13:37:11 2014932 Link

The 4th official was there well before Cody got there. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 11/07/2017 13:39:50 2014935 Link

Replying To cavanman47: "That's the argument I'd be putting forward if I was Burns, but come on man. .it looks fairly obvious that he meant it!" Don't be an idiot, Burn's isn't that good a marksman...he struck the ball in pure frustration, the umpire had time the get out of the way ffs...

Brain Cody has an exemplary record as far as I am concerned. This notion that as Pinkie said he has been well able to dish it out to linesmen and referees etc - is a joke. How often has he gotten excited and given any of these the full treatment? I can only remember one and that was against Galway in a backdoor game and he had a go at Barry Kelly at half time. Compare him to many others and consider his 11 All Ireland wins and all the games he has been involved in - a joke if he is banned for the incident last Saturday. Watch all of Cody;s teams - taking their medicine from the referees down through the years - I cannot think of too many players who have seriously gotten on to the referee because of a poor decision. Compare them to other counties - Clare - Tipp- Wexford - any of them. If Cody is banned it will be a poor day for the GAA. Sad situation that so many want to see him banned - jealousy at his achievements lads - that's what it is plain and simple. Begrudgery is alive and well in Ireland!!!! carlowman (Carlow) - Posts: 1821 - 11/07/2017 17:49:20 2015110 Link
Cody's record as a player or manager should have no bearing on this incident. He should be judged on the incident itself and it requires context. Connolly walked towards a stationary linesman. Cody was blocked by a 4th official. He took a step back almost immediately. You can look at a photo of Connolly push and the Cody 'push' and claim them to be the same thing, but Cody was moving towards the Waterford manager, not the official.

Connolly's actions were directed at the official whereas Cody wasn't intentional. woops (Kerry) - Posts: 2073 - 11/07/2017 18:07:53 2015122 Link
This is ridiculous because the GAA got it wrong re DC they are now hung on their own petards there will now be a litany of mentors, officials and players all trundling up to receive their 12/24/48 etc etc week bans and all for the good of the game - Give Respect Get Respect!! arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4897 - 11/07/2017 18:12:31 2015126 Link
