So if a player kicks another player in the head and it's picked up by the cameras but not the referee, he should get off scot free because RTE don't have cameras at every other ground?? That's a ridiculous argument. Why do cameras have to be at every ground for video evidence to be used?? If there is a serious incident, the player should be punished, end of. county man (Limerick) - Posts: 1155 - 16/02/2010 21:01:45 563638 Link 0 |

still harping on about 95 i see :) Dubsfan08 (Dublin) - Posts: 619 - 16/02/2010 21:21:26 563678 Link 0 |
Alright lads this is nothing to do with 95 take it to another thread if ye want and it is not about the actual suspensions Tyrone got (for the record Penrose and Gormley prob deserved but Justy not),it is not even about the availability of video evidence at some games and not at other. omaghjoe (Tyrone) - Posts: 1191 - 16/02/2010 21:50:57 563734 Link 0 |

There are one or two points that people are missing. Firstly, Pat McEneany is supposed to be the best ref in the country and he now has admitted that he got 4 major calls wrong during the game. He made many, many wrong calls during that game. If he had dealt with the first incident of Eoin Bradley punching the daylights out of Conor Gormley and sent him off, the rest of the incidents would not have happened because all players on the field would have known that he meant business. Justin went in to pull Bradley off Gormley and would have merited a yellow card. There were many other off the ball incidents in the game and late hits on the Tyrone players that were not called and that also contributed to the behaviour of the Tyrone players. If you had the guts punched out of you like Conor Gormley did and got away with it you would probably have sought revenge later on in the game (that is a man thing!) My point is that if the ref had done his job properly and fairly from the start these incidents would not have happened. Looks like there isn't a decent ref in the country at this point in time!

The issue is fairly straight-forward: Goodfella, Tir (None) - Posts: 1652 - 17/02/2010 11:07:38 563917 Link 0 |
The consistency of the CCCC is the real issue. They will use video evidence only on certain teams. If video evidence is available then use it but they do not do this. The most obvious one that springs to mind is John Miskella V Tyrone last year when it can clearly be seen on TV him punching Brian MCGuigan. Why did he not get suspended? I am sure that if it had of been a Tyrone player he would have been. Bo Duke (Tyrone) - Posts: 57 - 17/02/2010 13:37:31 564179 Link 0 |

Will you ladies please stop arguing with each other. Now. I too believe that McEneaney has a lot to answer for. As Brendan Crossan reports in the Irish News , he was obviously leaned on by HQ to cite the 3 Tyrone lads , having felt no necessity to send them off during the game. Whilst Crossan goes on to defend McEneaney with some waffle about protecting his career prospects I confess I do not agree. McEneaney is the foremost referee in the country. Surely it is he who should stand up to the CCCC and inform them that he was not going to be pressurised into changing his mind after the fact. If a guy like McEneaney refuses to argue back then what chance the other referees. They should put their personal integrity above their career prospects. gaelantrim (Antrim) - Posts: 1616 - 17/02/2010 14:19:55 564285 Link 0 |

I don't know why many of you have waited so long to comment on what is going on. I have been saying for the good part of 3 years that there is an agenda within Croke Park against Ulster and that some are on a crusade against the province, manager and players. They have been whipped up by an element within the Southern press and broadcasting media with their own bitter agenda and it goes beyond Gaelic football. One only has to pick up a Southern newspaper or watch some of the current affairs TV coverage to see the demonization of the Northern Nationalist community. This has now moved over to Ulster Gaelic football teams who are the whipping boys and guilty parties for much of the biased Southern Unionist media coverage that we get; in other words many many within the Southern political, journalistic and sporting environments believe that 'the Nordies' are good for it. They see us as outside the jurisdiction even including Donegal, Cavan and Monaghan AND they know that Nordie bashing plays well to a lot of people in the South. The begrudgery, spite and downright hatred shown towards Tyrone and Armagh over the past 8 years has been shocking and quite disgraceful; the ONLY reason for this is that they are Northern teams pure and simple. It is obvious to anyone with an ounce of fairness in them that there are TWO distinct sets of disciplinary and media rules in GAA. The head in the and attitude shown towards Kerry and Tadgh Kennelly as opposed to the hatchet jobs done on Ulster counties and players demonstrates this. The Ulster Council MUST now come out and back their own province otherwise calls for a boycott and withdrawel from ALL GAA competitions from Ulster sides UNTIL fairness is shown will grow.

As a fair and honest player I would much prefer to play in a match against opponents who knew video evidence could be used against them after the game to suspend them if they cheat and kick me when I'm on the ground, punch me when the referee is not looking etc.. Tyrone should count themselves extremely lucky that their players have been afforded this protection in the national league so far, instead they are crying about it. Why are they protesting so much? nocky (Wexford) - Posts: 2059 - 17/02/2010 17:24:28 564625 Link 0 |
