Couldn't believe it when I read about the guy who took the bag of sliotars from behind the Cork goal & tossed them in to Kilinan end. corkcelt (Cork) - Posts: 4388 - 11/07/2017 22:31:20 2015302 Link 0 |

Well WildPundit, it was one way of dealing with the Nash puck out but luckily we had a second bag. corkcelt (Cork) - Posts: 4388 - 11/07/2017 23:16:50 2015321 Link 0 |

A good old fashioned cork player strike might make the fella who robbed your balls see the error of his ways.. Got to admire your footballers who've been on strike since 2010 waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 11/07/2017 23:52:46 2015333 Link 3 |
This crap can cause a riot on the sideline, it's happening with the Donegal gent & previously a guy in Mayo. This guy should be named & shamed & banned for the year & made reimburse the cost of the sliotars. A cheap, sneaky tactic & ran away like a coward afterwards. moc.dna (Galway) - Posts: 1212 - 12/07/2017 00:43:38 2015343 Link 0 |

Maybe it was the person who advised the Clare management to allow Cork to have a man free for every single puckout. "Ok so my tactic sounds terrible at face value, but what if they have no sliotar in the first place?". Also a major twist to the first lesson you are taught in hurling: always keep your eye on the ball(s). HurlingSnob (Dublin) - Posts: 220 - 12/07/2017 03:29:07 2015358 Link 0 |
I have seen the video of it taken from the Hogan Stand. What intrigues me is why the person who videoed it on their mobile phone had their camera-phone trained on the individual who took the sliotars well before he made any move to do so, when the chap was totally inconspicuous and could have been presumed to have been an on field official, and when there were more interesting things happening on the field at the time ( at one stage, the crowd in front of the video-maker are looking up the field, in the opposite direction to where the camera phone is pointed.) It has all the hallmarks of a prank to me and it should not take much figuring out to identify those (allegedly) involved! PoolSturgeon (Galway) - Posts: 1903 - 12/07/2017 05:20:22 2015360 Link 0 |

If it was a kid that did this you might laugh - but an adult? Brings gamesmanship to a whole new level. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4896 - 12/07/2017 07:43:18 2015365 Link 0 |
Could it just have been a poor oul dead cat in the bag at that stage. catch22 (USA) - Posts: 2148 - 12/07/2017 08:27:01 2015368 Link 0 |
What 'error of his ways' would that be? I assume you are suggesting that he should have performed this act of grand larceny at an earlier stage of the championship.

Listen, if anyone has the balls (pun fully intended) to step out from the stands on to the field - can hang around unnoticed or without question for a few minutes before making his way to the goals then Monty Pythonlike lifting the bag and running off with them then I would say fair play sir. For all their security checks on bags etc I think they may need to revisit the stewarding at the game. Don't blame the guy who obviously was doing it as a dare/bet whatever - ask how was he able to do it and reprimand those ones and give them the 48 or 96 week ban (or whatever lifting someones balls falls under in GAA punishment). Or is that not the way it works? Offside_Rule (Antrim) - Posts: 4058 - 12/07/2017 11:17:11 2015453 Link 0 |
Someone has to get a 12 week ban for this. Our balls must be protected. poguemahone (Dublin) - Posts: 365 - 12/07/2017 11:35:08 2015466 Link 0 |
You could get a cup to protect those balls, but you'd probably have to drill holes in it...
