I'll remind you of the conduct of your U21 hurling manager after normal time in the U21 Leinster final last year. It was far in excess of anything Davy did on Sunday. Also Micheal Donoghue is well able to dish it out on the line. StoreysTash (Wexford) - Posts: 1733 - 29/05/2019 09:27:52 2188729 Link 2 |
Cody has had his incidents with officials, but doesn't run onto the pitch like Davy does?

No excuses for Cody but he doesnt run on the field.

I have just watched the incident for the third, fourth and fifth time just in case my eyes were deceiving me in my senior years (yet again). Nope.....Davy did not even put one little piggy wiggy over the line. The referee, had made up his mind to send him to the stands and signalled as such without even consulting the linesman. Watch a recording of the incident and tell me what you saw Ej (Wexford) - Posts: 355 - 29/05/2019 12:38:40 2188784 Link 0 |
I think Ireland, and the GAA needs more Davy's! At least the post game interviews would be distinguishable from one another.

It was 2 bits of dirty dangerous play on the same young player that an otherwise overly whistle happy referee and his linesmen and 4th official didnt see that p*ssed Davy off Id say.......

He had an instance whereby Greg Kennedy got involved on the pitch and people went mad. Not Davy storms onto the pitch and hes being hard done by. Whether the decision was right or wrong, it wasn't seen by the officials so you have to get on with it. People talking about getting a reaction out of his players, He is obviously not doing a good job in motivating his players then which is his job. juicy (Meath) - Posts: 399 - 29/05/2019 14:52:45 2188852 Link 1 |
Davy wasnt on the pitch

his ire should have been directed at the linesman who missed everything all day.missed damien reck being clothes lined,got 2 line balls wrong (1 each way),missed the wide from jason flynn which the whole stand behind him know was wide,and missed Conor whelan hitting damien reck in the face. perfect10 (Wexford) - Posts: 3929 - 29/05/2019 15:55:52 2188879 Link 0 |
Juicy, go look at a video of the incident. Then come back and tell me when he even tiptoed across the white line never mind 'storms on to the pitch'.

You obviously have never been to a Kilkenny match.

Just brought myself to read your post properly. The lad Kennedy went over and "marked" a player 10 yards away from where he was and caught a ball meant for that player. Thats worse than any other sideline/ management transgression I ever saw in any sport. Its cheating- the worst offense in any sport. And Cody quite rightly got very animated about it.

Think you need to go back and look at it and youll see he was on the pitch

fair enough instances arent the same, but my point was that both were caused by management being on the field which I dont believe is required, especially not anymore when everyone is Mic'd up including the Water/Hurley men.

Bad officials should not be tolerated in the game whether linesman referee 4th official or umpire. WildPundit (Tipperary) - Posts: 1709 - 29/05/2019 17:38:23 2188919 Link 0 |
I've watched it 5 times now. No idea what you were looking at

Only going on memory but was he not in the area between the coaches area and the sideline? Personally I dont see the need for anyone other than the players, referee, and medical staff to be on the pitch. Maybe 2 refs in hurling as the game has sped up so much in the last 15 years but thats a different debate altogether!!

Cop out wild. Bad officials or officials making mistakes is corrected just like players making mistakes is. refs get all the slack when they may make a mistake but no praise or very little praise when games go very well and all things work out. Davy does abuse refs. Cody and Davy may not be wrong much related to hurling issues but that still doesnt excuse eithers actions towards officials KillingFields (Limerick) - Posts: 3510 - 29/05/2019 22:51:02 2188982 Link 2 |
Sorry for the delay. The referee's report contained the worded charges brought against TO'B, SP, and BM, which was contested without success, the suspensions were later handed down, they appealed their suspensions because they disagreed with at least part of the charges brought against them and the lengthily suspension, the charges and suspensions were up held in their entirety, but in the interest of all and sundry they accepted their suspensions full stop, you say , "(Turlough O Brien and Steven Poacher wouldn't let the referees report be published because of what it was "alleged" they said to him") it's said that if it was published so too would be the part that they didn't agree with, the media would then use it to expand the issue further without apparent fairness. It was their intention to push this case to the outer limits to send out the signal to the rest of the country that they mean business to eradicate, physical abuse, violence, cynical aggression and verbal abuse, and rightly so none of which I condone. By all accounts suspend them, but do it with the dignity and fairness that they are entitled to, as you rightly pointed out, 5 months, where did that come from, was it measured with a digital Vernier, why not 6 months, better still, why not suspend each one of them for, 3 / 4 / or 5 months each, to make it fair and equitable. supersub15 (Carlow) - Posts: 2907 - 30/05/2019 10:19:11 2189028 Link 2 |
It's a fact that officials make mistakes often not as many as players and managers but it's not acceptable to be roaring at them during or after matches. This behaviour is replicated by every loo ball at club level who thinks he's doing everything he can to instill a winning attitude and be seen doing it. Problem is it's putting people off reffing and most of them wouldn't be right in their interpetations of the rules. By all means give more powers to linesmen and even 4th officials and down grade those not up to it but leave the playing of the game to those on the pitch lillyboy (Kildare) - Posts: 429 - 30/05/2019 11:04:56 2189041 Link 1 |
