Davy should be dealt with after yesterday.Passion for the game is no excuse, he should not go on the pitch end of story. Condorman (Dublin) - Posts: 983 - 17/04/2017 14:00:50 1980130 Link 0 |
Davy should never have went on to pitch we all know that, but when he did two tipp players came for him, will they be reprimanded ?-- , Teddy5 (Wexford) - Posts: 122 - 17/04/2017 14:10:49 1980132 Link 0 |
A one or two match ban is enough in my opinion. Mainly to show that it is unacceptable to run onto the pitch. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2517 - 17/04/2017 14:22:40 1980136 Link 0 |
In life and in a match one error sometimes leads to another error, or series of errors - so who do we blame ?, the first, second or third. I think we all know that Davy should not come on to the pitch and we all know that there was a very obvious free out. Nobody got injured though. browncows (Meath) - Posts: 2342 - 17/04/2017 14:32:28 1980141 Link 2 |
At least 2 match ban jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 17/04/2017 15:15:58 1980152 Link 0 |
there is no one bashing davy here...and there have been plenty of posts , from most of the posters on this thread, congratulating wexford in their progress this year...this is a thread regarding davy, but could have been any inter county coach, going onto the field of play....never mind tipp players at him, never mind bad refereeing...the point is he shouldnt have been involved...but this is certainly not a "have a go at davy thread"

Davy was a little silly going on the pitch and especially getting involved with players or confronting them I mean that is asking for trouble. He is not the only one at it - a certain tall selector for Waterford with a baseball cap and water bottle does more running on the pitch than his two midfielders combined and never a peep out out of anyone. Both are wrong but as soon as you confront a player all bets are off really, you either get a red card and suspension or a belt of hurl, a red card and a suspension no matter what its not very clever. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4895 - 17/04/2017 23:10:10 1980278 Link 0 |

So happy to see other counties try and defend his antics. The truth however, is that it is indefensible. Your mitigating circumstances are not worth anything. Forde was right as Davy should not be on the pitch. At least it is elsewhere he is doing this now. The next step for Davy is to create a seige mentality. People will slowly then forget about Wexford the underdog and will think of Wexford negitively. True it is great TV but you cannot in any way shape or form defend his actions yesterday.

If James Ryan of Limerick did not get a ban for striking Davy in 2012 league (on the sideline too) then nothing will happen Forde

Rules are in place in sport to avoid a "free for all" - The referee and linesmen have a responsibility to implement them. That's their purpose. Ban (Westmeath) - Posts: 1415 - 18/04/2017 11:56:36 1980389 Link 0 |
so we are all in agreement,what davy did was wrong,but we all love the pantomime villain,dont we.....?? perfect10 (Wexford) - Posts: 3929 - 18/04/2017 12:19:55 1980397 Link 0 |
I didn't say Dan had squared up to anyone - just he likes going on the pitch which is probably ill-advised that is all.

A number of posters are defending Davy because (1) He's passionate (2) He's Davy and sure he's great crack (3) It was clearly a shocker of a decision from the ref not to award a free out. (4) Davy was only trying to lift his lads. ( 5) Sure it was great TV we love a pantomime villain . Condorman (Dublin) - Posts: 983 - 18/04/2017 13:56:35 1980445 Link 1 |
Pantomime villain or not, what happened on Sunday was a terrible example of what is wrong in GAA in terms of attitude to the referee. The decision was wrong, indeed. Tipp got a goal, indeed. But Davy Fitz should not be out on the field roaring at the referee. Pinkie (Wexford) - Posts: 4100 - 18/04/2017 14:40:20 1980463 Link 3 |
