The way we were

(Oldest Posts First)

I'd like to go back to the way things were. When there was no retrospective actions. This all came about where i saw someone wanted retrospective action against Patrick Horgan for his high tackle on sunday. We have gang looking for a Cody ban. Connolly got a ban after the Carlow game. SWEET DEVINE JASUS . My grand dad was a cork foot baller and taught me the trade and the first and only rule was what happened on the field stays on the field. Back when i was playing a smozzel broke out .. it ended and game went on. Its the way it was for more than a century. What has happened in the last 10 years. Suspensions appeals. When i grew up if you got sent off you missed the rest of the game. Now we have 2/3/4/8/12 suspensions. Davy (who im not very fond of ) got a suspension for running on to the field. I've never been a man for causes like i said what happens on the field stays on the field. How do i stop all this. I played football and hurling for just over 30 years and the way things are going are driving me nuts. Mark Coleman gave an exhibition on sunday that was well past his years but the main talking points at the moment will or wont Cody get a suspension. Galway have looked awesome this summer cork are building a team for the future Tipperary are on the rise again. Its been one of the best championship seasons in years. Rossis win connacht down in ulster final kerry looking strong. I mean we have acres to talk about. How do i get rid of all the garbage . Suspension this and appeal that ???? Its killing our game. Connolly should be playing. I dont agree with what he done. Or most of the things he does but he is Blockbuster and we need to see the likes of him playing. We need davy and cody on their side lines . We need to go back to the good old days .. PLEASEEEEE

I don't agree with too much of that to be honest.

I agree that's it's been a very good Championship so far and that there should be more talk about the games and less about suspensions but I wouldn't be going down the road of let's do away with suspensions because of that.
