well dont to mlr on winning the leinster title, i am sure it is a great boost for carlow hurling, shows what can happen if work is put in at ground level, it is good to see so called weaker counties improving, best of luck in the semi final and hopefully ye will be playing effin in the final Kenlim (Limerick) - Posts: 864 - 01/12/2011 14:05:08 1078456 Link 0 |

So pennypincher the lads that played in the county final are thugs now are they. I happen to think that these things happen and they have to be dealt with in a fair manner, that's all. Fining the club 4k is crazy stuff and out of proportion to what happened on the day. Going over the top with a whopping fine is not the way to deal with the issue. aragorn1 (Carlow) - Posts: 156 - 01/12/2011 14:17:12 1078474 Link 0 |

before i start- 1. i do agree that the scenes were unacceptable and do need to be dealt with in some way 2. i dont want to see players punished - but i say so in the context of my arguement that if the clubs are fined 8 grand, how come players escape?! 3. i would generally see the good work done at board level but wholeheartedly disagree here old yellar (None) - Posts: 2624 - 01/12/2011 15:14:43 1078526 Link 0 |
thugs? i know a lot of these lads personally and i couldnt say that about them. some of the nicest men you would meet anyway, on and off the pitch. what the give for their clubs and county is possibly lost on us all. i was lucky enough to see both camps after the final whistle the second day. the emotions were high on both sides still but the all shook hands (well nearly all!) and left what was on the pitch on the pitch. you can talk about handbags, or helmets being pulled off - its easy do, but was it that bad? wrong, unacceptable, yes. 8 grand and no players sanctioned?? no and baffling! i think we all agree it wasnt a good sight to mark the county final day. was it planned to start? hard to know! but if you are down on the pitch, your geed up, its county final day and a lad gives you a dig in the ribs, well you re unlikely to tap him on the shoulder and say go easy now boss, this is how a row starts! i hope both clubs appeal it and get it reduced, not dismissed. i think after the carlow people/nationalist came out the following tuesday, we all had it well thrashed out and dealt with, so maybe the county board should have left it there too.. old yellar (None) - Posts: 2624 - 01/12/2011 15:15:36 1078527 Link 0 |

Sorry bout that. couldnt resist. pennypincher (Carlow) - Posts: 777 - 02/12/2011 10:16:37 1078891 Link 0 |
Yes yellar I wasnt at that game but know the lady and also know tat she was used by a group of idiots so they could have a good laugh at her expense. real gentlemen no doubt. In faairness to ref. he wouldnt have been aware of background and his reaction may have been OTT. Your point bout no players being banned is well made but if the ref. didnt mention it in his report i think their hands are tied, esp. in the absense of video evidence,which they requested but it was not forthcoming.....hence ban. pennypincher (Carlow) - Posts: 777 - 02/12/2011 10:32:54 1078902 Link 0 |
typical of county board in all fairness like to punisgh teams to this extent. It was a county final players are pumped up wanting to win at all costs how many times has this happened in matches its just pure emotion no player wanting to take a backward step not give an inch lose the first battle. Paud o Dwyer done a great job to get the game going again as well as he did handbags is what it was. In his defence its not the way you want your first county final to go an all in brawl in first minute of game handled really well i think. But for county board to hand out a fine of this size in this day and age is OTT. Maybe they need something improved in dr.cullen at the mo this there way to get it done for nothing. At the end of the day hurling is the last mans game left at the mo and if they start to take this kind of stuff away from it then the game is going to die and die quickly..
