138035 Look lads all I am saying is things that happen on the pitch should stay on it .What is the difference of breaking a mans jaw than biting, well no difference nick . So you nick should you go to jail for that. Everyone that bites someone, breaks jaws, breaks noses, and stamps should go to jail. It would wreck the gaa.

Man - i hope you never get on any Gaa comittee with that view. fighting and breaking jaws is one thing but Savagely bighting a persons ear off is just sick. And so are you if you think that that fella didnt deserve a prison term to sort him out.
And you sir are sounding like a savage

I agree that it is no harm to make an example of a player for a serious assault like that.Others might think twice now. Importing the nastiness of RFU code is no excuse.

The guy got what he deserved. If he bit someones ear in a niteclub he would have got the same punishment and proper order. Playing a match doesn't give you a licence for thuggery

This case along with others like it is going to ruin GAA as we know it. Why would anybody go out to play an amatuer sport and run the risk of a prison sentence or a major compensation payment for what could possibly be an accidental collision etc. I know the case being discussed does not sound accidental but others could be. Just last week a young Co Leitrim footballer was convicted & was ordered to pay ?20,000 in compensation.

.......He did well to get through the helmet didnt he!..... but if you're the type of person willing to do that to a fellow Gael you have no right to be on a team in the first place. You're nothing but a scum bag...

Yes Leitrim Lad his mouth accidently collided with the players ear. Wise up. It's a physical sport but incidents like this are way beyond the whole 'what happens on the pitch stays on the pitch'. The player concerned deserves a custodial sentance, wearing a GAA jersey is not a justifiable excuse for partaking in such violence

Lads to be fair I think I'd sooner get part of my ear bitten off than a broken jaw.

Maybe you have big ears and have plenty to spare?

It was entirely appropriate that this thug was jailed. Why? Because what he did was criminal. i.e. a criminal offence. In all sports there is a degree of tolerance by the law to physical play on the sensible assumption that the players who take the pitch have consented to a certain level of physical contact. What this guy did went beyond what anyone could reasonably have consented to. S3 Non Fatal Offence against the Person Act comes to mind. "assault causing harm"

Dellboy, the county boards do not have a criminal jurisdiction to determine guilt or innocence for alleged criminal conduct. Couldn't be simpler.

I agree with you to a point Jackodub! But where is the line between acceptable and not?

Leitrim Lad (Leitrim) - Posts: 264 - 11/11/2008 17:21:53    138808

JACKODUB Well then if i go and strike someone on a pitch that is assualt as well . And broken jaw is worse than biting ear off because have to eat and drink have to use my jaw from it. So lads do not hit anyone on a pitch next year you might end up in jail no matter what way it happens assualt is assualt end off.

well done jacko for calling it like it is..when is an assault on a football field different from an assault on the street??its not in my opinion.i like to play football hard myself but always fair.unfortunately there has been to many indidents through the years on football and hurling fields that should have been punished in the courts but weren't because of this 'what happens on the field stays on the field' bullshit argument.about time this nonsense came to an end

any player who bites or breaks an opponents jaw or anything else for that matter on purpose deserves to be punished by his county board and the courts and his club . gaa is a physical game but there is a difference between physical and dirty and anybody who has played the game will know that i have seen the damage that can be done on the pitch and its not pretty

Here is a scenario though, guy hits you an elbow in the face on the pitch and the ref does nothing what do you?
A. Nothing just hit the ground go home and forget about it
B. Runaway like a little girl
C. Fake injury and get substituted
D. Smack him in the face with your fist just after the elbow
E. Bide your time and give him a shoulder or clothes hanger as he's about to kick thte ball
F. Wait till he is not looking and then smash him one to the back of the head
G. Nothing but then go to the cop station after the match and charge him with assult
H. Nothing at the time but then organise a few mates and follow him home from work some night and give him a good kicking
I. Nothing but then sleep with his wife for revenge
J. Forget about it shake hands at the end of the game
Which of the above is acceptable and the right thing to do? So many things you could do the scenarios are endless but some are acceptable and others aren't and even the ones which make sense could leave you looking like a pussy.
