So they didn't want the report published because of how bad it would make them look - my point exactly. LarryOBrother (Wexford) - Posts: 409 - 30/05/2019 11:09:08 2189044 Link 0 |
In fairness looking at the incident I said he would get 48 weeks for sure for he chested the lines man in an agitated manner. I know he saw what happened to his player and for sure it upset him. Davy needs to get counseling to be honest to control this terrible streak in his make up. I suppose you call it anger control management in fact at least 90% need to get this counseling from grass roots right up to inter county for remember children watch their idles and what's the old saying monkey see monkey do. He could not complain if he got 48 weeks and I bet he knows it too.

Define abuse?? Just cos he roars a few obscene words here and there at an official? I'm sorry man but that doesnt cut if for me. A lot of people don't like Davy cos they are from Limerick or other neighbouring counties and lot of it is just pure ignorance from people in general looking to have a go at him everytime he opens his mouth. I'd have Davy in my corner any day of the week and I know many lads a lot of them from Tipp who hurled with LIT say their careers were going no where and Davy Fitz was the guy who got them to an inter county standard. He will always back his players no matter what and if he made a mistake which cost his team his normally very quick to admit it.

The message Davy sends is that it is to run out and abuse officals, once you can hide behind the cloak of 'passion'. witnof (Dublin) - Posts: 1604 - 03/06/2019 10:13:20 2190092 Link 3 |

If the same linesman hadnt missed two very bad fouls on the same young player Im sure Davy wouldnt have had anything to say to him.

Sound logic there, 2 fouls on same player( Especially the younger ones) means behave badly towards match officials? All officials make some mistakes, human error, but not all coaches/managers react that way. He must show more respect or suffer consequences of his actions because he made the choice to act that way. conordee (Galway) - Posts: 440 - 03/06/2019 22:05:10 2190341 Link 0 |

He didnt swear at the official or push him or physically interfere with him. He gave out to him. As every other manager does. Abd they dont generally get sent to the stand for it. Y should it be 1 rule for Fitzgerald and 1 for everyone else?

He balls out his player's publically for making 2 'alleged' mistakes? And he went after the 4th Offical not the linesman. The message is to everyone that it's ok to do this? witnof (Dublin) - Posts: 1604 - 04/06/2019 08:51:30 2190383 Link 0 |
Davy set a very bad example to all the young kids at the match. Look there is and always has been sledging and handlers which gets another player to react. That player if caught rightly gets red card. heartbroken (Galway) - Posts: 370 - 04/06/2019 09:23:08 2190391 Link 0 |
What about your U21 manager going after the referee at full time in the Leinster final last year? That was far worse than anything Davy did. Nothing happened him, was that right? Not condoning either of them. StoreysTash (Wexford) - Posts: 1726 - 04/06/2019 09:32:46 2190396 Link 0 |
What about our u21 manager? He was way out of line also. Why would you even think from reading my post that this is about a county. Its about team officials abusing match officials, I dont care what county they are from . Its not acceptable. There is still far too much of this going on in every county from u10 games up and from attending many different sports it is far more common on the GAA field. conordee (Galway) - Posts: 440 - 04/06/2019 22:05:42 2190679 Link 1 |
EJ. Looked at the Davy incident again last night. I thought the same as yourself until I looked at it very closely. If you look behind Davy as he's going mad at the linesman, you will see the line about 2 yards behind him. Therefore he was in fact on the pitch. Anyway there's no suspension to be handed out. I wonder is the reason no action was taken is because on examination of the lead up to the incident on the sideline it was discovered that Davy was right about Reck getting cloths lined and Galway get a free!! Its fairly obvious to me that they didnt punish him so as to save the blushes of the referee and linesman who either ignored or didnt see the foul. Unusual isnt it for no action taken for a manager entering the field of play and shouting and screaming at an official. Food for thought I would say.

It wasn't the linesman it was the 4th official who has no power to intervene anyway. Davy knew what he was doing, it's an ancient trick to try to lift your team and he has done it before. Barnowl94 (Galway) - Posts: 3150 - 05/06/2019 14:43:56 2190892 Link 0 |
I was in the stand with a good view of it and Davy was on the pitch no doubt about it.

Agree with every word so. People complain about referees, they won't get better or we won't get better ones if people think the solution is more abuse for them.

Davy is a serial offended at this stage and why they don't hand him a good hefty suspension is beyond me. Anyone who had read his original autobiography will realise that he has an immense ego and that whatever happens has to be always about him or because of him.
