Mayo player intentionally strikes an Armagh player in the genitals with the butt of his hurl.. A cowardly pox of an act Not a peep MDMc after a bit of a tangle gets a full force left hook to the nose, in fact looks like he broke his nose Not a peep If a Tyrone or Dublin player did such Well you can imagine the deliberate self serving agenda out in full force... Yes indeed.. Very selective condemnation jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 06/06/2016 10:58:16 1862080 Link
Yeah have to agree with you, two cowardly acts brushed away. Bon (Kildare) - Posts: 1898 - 06/06/2016 11:09:36 1862084 Link
Normally I'd say just get on with it. But your right Jimbo, if Philly mc Mahon threw that punch there would be uproar. Or a Tyrone lad done it. If a Kilkenny /Tipp lad done that with a hurl there would be outrage. Truth is if it isn't a high profile team, they don't care. Theres nearly a sympathy vote. I was right beside MDMC incident and it was a full force punch in the face. Lads of that size throwing punches can do serious damage.

Agreed a very cowardly thing to do, you'd worry that players like that are the game, he was blatantly caught on camera., maybe he is a hero in his local club. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4895 - 06/06/2016 11:16:28 1862092 Link
If Tyrone player did it the Sunday game panel would want him banned for six months Dellboypolecat (Tyrone) - Posts: 15069 - 06/06/2016 16:43:19 1862320 Link
These threads just degenerate into more slagging of other counties , the truth is that Tyrne and Dublin fans would be on in droves to defend their players or at the very least bring instances going back 5 or 10 years to give validation their arguments. Sunday game dealt with it lets hope authorities do the same what Hoganstands says or does is irrelevant. Damothedub (Dublin) - Posts: 5193 - 06/06/2016 16:58:26 1862329 Link
As all lads whoever played hurling can attest to,that sneaky,cowardly,innocuous looking jab of a hurley into the crown jewels,is the most painful injury a man can feel.I was on the receiving end once and couldn't walk straight for a week.That Mayo player deserved to be called out last night although it was brushed over fairly quickly.He should receive a nice ban,also.The genitals are a no go area. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 06/06/2016 16:59:49 1862331 Link

Ah seriously. Last year when d connolly was punching lee keegan on the ground the dubs said you cant blame him when someone keeps pulling you back and checking your run. And they appealed it on a technicality. The only problem on saturday was michael dara should have gotten yellow. O gara hit munnelly a real nasty slap in face too. And mccarthy got away with blatant foot trip . Free was given but no black. Malonemagic (Laois) - Posts: 765 - 06/06/2016 17:03:37 1862334 Link

There was clear slow mo footage at the time showing this. Big difference. MDM received a left hook to his nose on Sat. He hadn't laid a hand on the Laois player. Straight red and ban. If it had happened on the street the gardai would have been involved. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 06/06/2016 18:06:56 1862375 Link

If the refs dealt with the constant blocking of players off the ball wit the black card as they should these type of incident would not develop and the football would be a lot better game to watch. mrfox (Wexford) - Posts: 338 - 06/06/2016 18:46:47 1862395 Link

Ah joxer come on now. MDMA was pulling dragging and checking O'Loughlins run after just fouling him. He deserved a card and officials got it wrong by only booking O'Loughlin. I would have done the exact same thing as O'Loughlin. It's time the officials stand out this run checking and off the ball crap. Pingcity (Longford) - Posts: 568 - 06/06/2016 18:52:25 1862402 Link

Well said Joxer But it's just more of the same An utterly ridiculous comparison But again.. It comes as no surprise really The reaction to this thread only enhances my point Certain counties come in for much more scrutiny and you'd have to question the hyperbole reactions of those just looking to serve their own agendas. You won't see two worse incidents of on pitch violence all year, yet almost zippo made of it... No doubting things would be vastly different if it was Tyrone or Dublin players You'd have the culchie numb skills out in full force.. jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 06/06/2016 19:05:48 1862409 Link

MDM received a left hook to his nose on Sat. He hadn't laid a hand on the Laois player. That's nonsense, he was clearly interfering with the Laois lads run, who in turn was wound up and reacted stupidly. He got the line and if he gets a longer ban can't really complain. I'd argue it's more a case of the analysts on the Sunday Game having a bit of sense last night and not overreacting. On the other hand, the likes of Brolly or Spillane would have likely made a right storm of it. (on a side note, perhaps the SG analysts moved on so they wouldn't have to explain MDM probably deserved a black card for his role in the incident?) extranjero (Wexford) - Posts: 375 - 06/06/2016 19:19:02 1862416 Link
Ah seriously. Last year when d connolly was punching lee keegan on the ground the dubs said you cant blame him when someone keeps pulling you back and checking your run Malone, no one said that. Connolly/Keegan was a very different situation than O'Loughlin/MDMA. Classic response from you though. Someone says something you don't like and you make something up about another incident so you don't have to actually respond to the point. It let's us know what to make of you in anyways wha!

That's exactly what they are The hyperbole down right disingenuous rubbish aimed at James McCarthy after the Donegal game was case in point.. The online campaign again him was utterly telling, but like the incident itself the powers that be saw nothing in it and rightly so It really is double standards and again without doubt teams like Dublin are open to far more scrutiny But we'll get on with it but you want see worse incidents happen for the rest of the year, but just watch the culchie hyperbole BS... if a Dublin player is involved.. The thickos will be out flapping their lips jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 06/06/2016 20:10:17 1862439 Link

Extrajnero you clearly don't know what you are talking about. You are claiming that MDM 'probably deserved a black'. For what exactly? I was about 15 feet away from that incident sitting in the main stand. The the two of them ran across each other that's all that was to it. The Laois player reacted with a left hook and may have broken the Dublin player's nose. Do you want to make anything else up about it seeing as though I presume you weren't there and obviously you don't know much about the contact before the punch as you are saying that it was 'probably a black card'? Laughable really. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 06/06/2016 20:16:21 1862443 Link
