Ha - has nobody told you the wall was to keep you boys in. Why do you think they only built it 5 ft tall?

Thwe differing attitudes from this incident and the Aaron Cunningham incident from Cross folk (and Armagh ones) on this site make me laugh. Nobody doubted his claims when he made them yet when someone else makes a claim it is not to be taken seriously?

I think this whole incident is being sensationalised to suit certain people's agendas.

It is first worth noting that McCann, the player alleged to have been bitten, DID NOT wish for this to be publicised. Either way, such an alleged incident is very difficult to prove/disprove. It is up to the relevant authorities to examine the referee's report and take further action if necessary.

Crossmaglen vehemently deny the allegations, while at the same time I can see no reason why a seasoned and respected player like McCann would manufacture such a claim.

On the game itself it was a lot tighter than the score line suggested. A missed Cargin goal opportunity, and a fluke goal at the other end coupled with a sending off formed the turning point in which Cross were able to run away with it. They may not be as lucky next day out against a much tighter and more experienced Kilcoo outfit, who will be all too aware of the "cuteness", and will present a much sterner challenge, I dare say we can expect some fireworks.

Well he did an interview to a newspaper about it, that's a funny way of not wanting it publicised. He could have just said no.

This alleged incident is very easy to prove, he just needed to show the bite mark to the referee or anyone for that matter. John Brennan said it left a mark so lets see it. Very easy to make allegations but if you say you have proof then show the proof.

Not all bites leave a mark apart from one that might be visible for a matter of minutes after it happens.

He said it did leave a mark. If so then why didn't he show it to someone? Why make the allegation if you aren't going to follow it up?

Tom1916 (Armagh) - Posts: 2001 - 06/11/2015 15:57:16    1804989

So there's no mention of it in mc quillans report. If it did happen he would have had to record the fact that it was reported to him. Surely this draws a line under it now?

Ah shure begorrah begorrah nothing to see here now move on. Biting?? File in the ignore cabinet alongside eye gouging, striking with or without hurl, dirty strokes, off the ball hits, pulling, dragging and vicious on field abuse. Get the tea and sandwiches Kathleen and we'll all have a lovely dance at the crossroads after the harvest. Diddli, diddli didliidee.

What's this? No evidence? we demand that evidence is found and these big bad armagh boys are convicted. Guilty until proven innocent is the mantra of the oppressor and it's quislings.

What did you expect,a clear and definitive conclusion with no grey area and no-one left in any doubt as to who was in the wrong and a punishment to suit.
Santy will be along soon and all the children of the world will get everything their little heart's desire and it'll snow on Christmas eve.

AFTER John Brennan had already mentioned it to the press. It's not easy to prove. Stop being disingenuous. Not every wound leaves a mark and that includes biting. It's done and dusted now. No further action to be taken, draw line under it and move on... Now, will the feens show the same hunger v Kilcoo next time out? ;)

It's you that needs to draw a line under it.

It is very easy to prove. John Brennan and Michael McCann said that there WAS a mark on his neck (although John Brennan said it was his shoulder in another interview), they also both said that the referee was told.

Amongst all the media interviews they did all they needed to do was show the mark but they refused to do so. McCann also said he told the referee but the referee denies this. Thankfully there is also video footage of the melee.

I have drawn a line under it. It can neither be proved nor disproved. I haven't seen McCann say anywhere that he had a mark but that's neither here nor there, clearly the man doesn't want to pursue it. In any case, I don't see what anyone would have to gain by making such an allegation up; and having played against Cross for many years I'd be naive to think that the man's making up lies for the sake of it.

och dry your eyes, moan, moan, complain, complain are you sure you aren't from antrim.

Brolly pretty much ridiculed Cross in his column this week. He said their reaction consisted of 'asking their players if any of them bit the Cargin player. They didn't say anything so that was proof they didn't'. A typical South Armagh response said Brolly, just deny, deny, deny.
