Maybe the bad smell is going away Mr O'Rourke. Pure witchhunt by the media as per usual when it comes to tyrone.

Donegal released a statement saying that it did so dunno whats going on. How the hell do you prove it didn't

Maybe wait for confirmation from an official source rather than some rag website.

Whether it did or didn't will not be know to anyone outside the players involved on the day. Any statement that come out from investigation is bound to be bland and will sort nothing.

This is the press release from Donegal.
I think there that other website might have jumped the gun.

It's afternoon now, where's that statement?

gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts: 4971 - 04/11/2015 12:05:11    1804335

I'd be fairly certain something did happen. Donegal would have just let it drop if they didn't truly believe, their press releases on it and langauge used means they are adamant. Bad stuff altogether.

Ulster Gaa's Statement:

"Following a request from the Tyrone County Committee, Ulster GAA through its CCC established an Investigation Committee in May 2015 which met on seven occasions over a four month period to review evidence and witness statements alongside conducting a range of interviews with the relevant parties. At a meeting on Wednesday 23rd September the Committee reviewed its findings with both Tyrone and Donegal and the concluding report was agreed by all parties. The Committee agreed with both County Committees that the findings will remain confidential. We would also highlight that recent media reports regarding the investigation do not accurately reflect the findings of the Committee. All parties were satisfied that this matter was resolved and there will be no further comment from Ulster GAA."

You would think if Tyrone were exonerated they would make sure everyone knew. A buried truth usually means something to hide.

I remember a referee telling me that one of the key personnel playing the victim was coach for his own U12 club team and abused the referee to such an extent that he feared for his safety. He left the pitch very sharpish after being told that he would be killed.

So my belief is that each club and county needs to put it's own house in order before complaining about another. I'm not condoning whatever happened and what was said but if you're prepared to abuse refs at a U12 game then you can't complain when others do it too.

Care to elaborate? Maybe we should just all go on strike instead.

What are you on about Hugh. Stupid comment.

You're basically saying the young Donegal lad made this whole thing up. Get a life. Keyboard warrior.

I don't believe for a second any lad would make up that people were insulting his late father. Whatever the gaa decide. And i'd believe him if he were saying it against my own county.

Can't see why any young lad that's going through the loss of a parent would accuse someone of saying this if they didn't. I doubt he'd wants his family's loss discussed regularly in the national media.

Pointless, we will never know what the truth is. Tyrone gaa may have took the higher ground and said ok to keeping it under the wraps to save further hassle to all the youngsters involved.

It should have been dealt withy properly from the start not by bonner sticking it in a newspaper article and all the other Donegal stars taking the high ground at the time and slating the lad in public without proper investigation.

Tyrone Gaa taking the 'higher ground' on the issue? Seriously? You're some Craic.

They are young lads I really don't see the need to name and shame - pretty pointless. I am sure an acceptable resolution to all concerned - privately has been found without the need for a public execution.
