2-3 months would have been plenty samin10 (Armagh) - Posts: 2434 - 17/06/2008 17:08:11 33978 Link 0 |
Six months is very very harsh, three would certainly have done. Six is harsh. But he made his bed, and he is a victim of his past. Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8170 - 17/06/2008 17:08:40 33979 Link 0 |

The G.A.A are A joke lads. What Galvin did was wrong o.k but they've made A right mess of this. Let the man play the game he loves. MODEU (None) - Posts: 108 - 17/06/2008 17:15:14 33988 Link 0 |
I fear this harsh punishment could really Galvin-ise the Kerry lads!!! JayoCluxton (Dublin) - Posts: 2688 - 17/06/2008 17:18:20 33990 Link 0 |
Have to say the six month ban handed to Paul Galvin is a disgrace. If the the referee, linesman, officials had been doing their job this wouldnt of happened. The referee and officials get away with it again. Is there no controlling these officials or will they ever be held accountable for wrong doings, ONE RULE FOR ONE AND DIFFERENT ONE FOR ANOTHER. maximus (Meath) - Posts: 49 - 17/06/2008 17:39:56 34007 Link 0 |

Galvin-ise, very good JayoC. I have an uncle who would gladly take that joke off your hands. Could go in a Christmas cracker as well. JackoDub (Dublin) - Posts: 458 - 17/06/2008 18:10:14 34018 Link 0 |
Loyal, I didnt say he should get off scot free but he did not strike or injure anyone, except a little black book. The G.A.A. seem to treat a rant against a referee more seriously than punching another player. Thats my argument. Cavan_Slasher (Cavan) - Posts: 10253 - 17/06/2008 18:17:36 34021 Link 0 |
6 months is way too harsh. 3 months would have been fair. I heard there was a wasp on the notebook and Galvin was just swotting him!! Wicklowman (Wicklow) - Posts: 1145 - 17/06/2008 18:21:32 34022 Link 0 |
Agree there with my Meath buddy el Maximus, the linesman took the easy option and told the referee that both Galvin and his Clare counterpart were at it when Galvin was being intimidated. He went a little off the wall fair enough, but then again who would not when they have been found guilty of a crime that they did not commit, most in fact would probably have decked the referee. All Galvin has done is slapped the notebook when a far greater wrong was done against him; and now a six month suspension to top it all off. There is no justice to Paul Galvin being suspended... bennybunny (Cork) - Posts: 3917 - 17/06/2008 18:22:41 34024 Link 0 |
6 months for knocking the refs notebook to the ground is a scandelous decision. Sure it was petulant and disrepectful to the ref but 6 months is way too long no matter who the player is. Code (Waterford) - Posts: 37 - 17/06/2008 19:07:32 34036 Link 0 |
its ridiculous that he'd have to serve a 6 month suspension for that! he didn't even make contact wit the ref all he hit was the notebook!!!! the gaa obviously dont like galvin and if it was another player in a different county i bet they wouldn't get such a long ban, maybe none at all! he even apologized what more do they want? if he has to be out for 6 months its an absolute disgrace and the gaa should be ashamed of themselves!! who would lads bother playing gaelic if they're going to be treated like this!! i hope he gets it appealed and wins because he really doesn't deserve a ban that long!! kefan (Kildare) - Posts: 498 - 17/06/2008 19:16:00 34040 Link 0 |
i thought he might get 3 months but 6 is quite severe. The man overreacted & is paying for it - I believe 6 months is too harsh - it was horrible to watch but I still believe the ban is for too long Tír Chonaill abú (Donegal) - Posts: 44 - 17/06/2008 19:32:09 34047 Link 0 |
It's a tough suspension all right (and the right one IMO) but you can't really compare it to incidents involving 2 players. The referee must be protected and thankfully occasions like this are few and far between. RMDrive (Donegal) - Posts: 2202 - 17/06/2008 19:37:25 34050 Link 0 |
6 mths is a bit harsh but rules are rules!! Just because he is kerry captain shouldnt have any bearing on it. Whether he is from offaly, kerry, dublin or cork, he must face the music! Forget all this other rubbish about dublin players and lesser punishments, they had to take their punishments and so should galvin.. In my opinion, 3 months would have been enough and i think on appeal he will get it reduced.. biffo4life (Offaly) - Posts: 47 - 17/06/2008 20:21:22 34063 Link 0 |
Six months is a fair suspension; in other sports he'd have got at least a year. What he did was utterly unacceptable and should not be condoned by a weak suspension. Nevertheless, I'd expect that it will be halved on appeal. football first (None) - Posts: 1259 - 17/06/2008 22:05:45 34075 Link 0 |
I am a little shocked - nay more than a little shocked - at the preposterous and stringent sanction bestowed on Paul Galvin. It appears that the punishment meted out following the Parnell Park fracas has indeed set the benchmark for the CCCC this season. But does the punishment fit the crime in this case?
