If I was in James Conways boot's I would never put A Derry jersey on my back ever again. A total joke the way the whole thing was looked at by the co board.

So Dellboy when you are refereeing you will only send the player off if the other guy lies down with an obvious injury. I will grant you the right to comment on the affairs of 31 counties in Ireland but when it comes to tyrone you do not have the open mind to offer coherent and unbiased opinion. Go back to old threads and read your own comments. In relation to the matter being discussed the whole affair was handled badly by the county board and by Ballinderry their knee jerk reactions were ill considered to say the least. James Conway was always in a position to end the thing gracefully and I suspect the counsel he recieved from within the Ballinderry club has now proved to be flawed!

derryman County: Derry You cant send someone off if you never seen it surely you know that much . But if i was a chairman in a club where a player broke another mans jaw i would name that player as clubs have did all over ireland have in the past and ballinderry refused . Now if i was the derry county board i would have told ballinderry name the player or get a 2 year ban.

Dellboy I am not disputing your reasoning on this matter just your reasoning on matters Tyrone,

Dellboy.

I know that you cannot send someone off if you dont see it. But would you mind tellong that to the umpires and referee from the tyrone Derry game. Because nothing at all happened and we had a man suspended for 4 weeks.

Here people who say there is a saga with Ballinderry and the county board are completely paranoid, firstly, Ballinderry have been at the centre of a lot of major incidents Last Years County Final v Slaughtneil, Last years Ulster final v Cross, A few years ago there was a free for all with Lavey, this incident with James Conway, and I hear in a recent club game Raymond Wilkinson was red carded for punching and a fight broke out among supporters. So don't start the same old Bull*** that's is wheeled out every time Ballinderry do wrong. Sure Slaughtneil were taken to the cleaners last year had several players banned, not allowed to play in their ground, teams banned etc so its not just Ballinderry. Dell, you are happy to be judge jury and executioner when it suits, and don't believe anyone else views were right, you also accused me of being wrong regarding this very thread when I told you B'derry were back in the championship. Now as a neutral to the incident let me put across the story, in a league game with Ballinderry and Kilrea things got heated and there were a few incidents over the pitch which were not investigated and should have been..however in reference to the story in hand, the ball was out of play, James Conway came up behind Kielt and hit him a dig in the jaw (There were perhaps words before but only the two of them know if there was), anyway, the referee never seen it and as the ref was the only neutral official they could not take statements from the umpires or linesmen. However the spectators and everyone at the game saw the strike and everyone know who hit Kielt but it could not be confirmed officially as neither a neutral official nor a county board member spectator saw the incident. So as no one could confirm the incident the culprit was asked to come forward, James Conway was asked if he had done it and he said he hadn't, Ballinderry were then asked to name the player who did it and refused. The CB took a gamble and used a shock tactic by removing Ballinderry from both the league and championship thereby putting pressure on Conway and Ballinderry to come forwards, after a few weeks Conway finally came forward and admitted he had done it thereby Ballinderry got back into the league and championship but Conway was handed a 48 week suspension. Now for those who think it was unfair look at it like this, had Conway admitted it to begin with he would have gotten 6-8 weeks max and it would be over by now: * It messed up the Derry Club championship as the club game between Ballinderry and Banaghercould not go ahead- this is now being played this weekend 4 weeks after all other club games were played. * Banagher are at a disadvantage as they will have less time for their next game if they win through no fault of their own * It cause serious upset in the Derry camp for the match against Tyrone * It left both the Derry County Board and the Ballinderry Club in a difficult position So Dell, put away the guillotine and maybe stop trying to dictate what everyone should do because you know Jack all about that circumstances.

First of all making excuses for derrys defeat against tyrone yous where not good enough end off . Now someone that bbreaks someones and has happened got more than 6 to 8 weeks i know of a lad that got 72 weeks from my own club for something the same so go away with your 6 to 8 weeks and excuses the club should have been banned for brreaking the rules .

Thank you for articulating the facts of the matter. The course of this saga was always dictated by James Conway. I would not really worry about trying to convince Dell he lives in his own world where he writes all the rules and then gets to be judge jury and executioner on them. Reason is not important just feelings

Here, will you wind your neck in, we were missing about 4 or 5 starting players had we had them playing the deficit may not have been as big but chances are we would have still gotten beat..not only did I never make excuses for the defeat if you care to check but I don't see what it has to do with this.

Also, If you read my post I am not defending James Conway, I have no great love for him or Ballinderry for that matter as a result of altercations with my club before so the last thing I would do is stick up for him.
